Week #3 ... kid decided to build a new team. Sold off OTW Pogba
& brought in Lewa-Aub & Bergkamp. :$
Anyhoo ... he felt that playing with a single team would do
dividends and we do have 80+ squad fitness cards, so it would be
that then.
Well well ... after 21 games, this was the picture:

Given our time zone once again, he would be higher up given the
amount of games played. He started with 6 wins then a loss to a
good player (decent guy too). Racked up another 4 wins before
losing in the lag/day time in Veltins Arena - stupid stadium :D.
12 consecutive wins followed incl. a penalty shootout win - he
defaults these to me - hey, I contributed :P!
But ... game #25 - one goal up ... the game crashes :o! 3rd loss
is a painful one! Next game is laggy, goes 2 down. Manages to
get 1 back and pounding the guy ... not to be.
So, he ends the night with a record of 22-4 with 14 games to
play. Pressures on - if he can get 11/12 - he might just get top
100 this weekend!

Kid finished on 32 wins ... pretty great result being in Elite
3, but the game crashed cost Elite 2 :D.
Seriously think it won't be enough to stay in the Top 100
though.

Yeah - he did well. Top 100 this week was even tougher to get in
- on Xbox, 34 wins minimum - seems like it's getting harder each
week. But, aim is for 21 wins this coming week so he'll get into
Elite 3 for the monthly rewards.
For reference - 18 of his opponents finished in the top 100
Regional list (I think he ended 5th).

Team ...

As mentioned, the kid wanted to change it up - so Aub & Lewa
were bought - they are super-duper clinical!!! Given that there
are limited options for the CAM, brought back the legend ...
Bergkamp. Playing as CAM he's just brilliant to use there.
Midfield is balanced - Vidal is one insane looking card
(stats-wise). He pretty much does everything well. Renato
Sanches is the terrier in the midfield - not the tallest, but
good defensive stats, great strength & balance. Wins a LOT in
the midfield. Thiago is deemed the creator - doesn't do much
bad, but generally is subbed out due to low stamina.
Defence is also so over-powered. Both Smalling & Ramos have
stopped countless attacks. Kid does do a good job though with
them, must say his defence is very good.
Lastly, De Gea in goal is worth that price! Generally we always
say that no keeper is worth 100k+ but was genuinely happy to
spend that on him. Has mad some insane saves since we've had
him. Is closing in on the 100-game mark.
Only sad thing is that this weekend has different rules - max 5
nationalities. Bayern ... wow! Get some Germans in there! Sold
off Aub and bought in Suarez. Will pretty much be a similar team
but with a all Spanish backline and Iniesta in for Suarez.
Tactics ...
Use 'something like this' - not always exactly that - but
roundabout:
HTML http://i.imgur.com/iz8uN8h.jpg
Like the faster play, and Defence sits a little back and
obviously play 'cover' in place of 'offside trap'.
Player Instructions ...
Don't have anything of note on them - all is at this point
standard.
Lastly, Kid's style of play ...
Now, I sat & watched 90% of the play. He's moved into the
'possession/passing' style that you see from the other top guys,
after watching some game play (would call it research ... :P).
It really is about that aspect of the 'team cannot score if they
don't have the ball'. It's definitely not negative play - 8 rage
quits in there. Pretty much averages over 2.5 goals scored and
just over 1 goal conceded.
Also, very little skill moves - only used when needed &
therefore timed better & more appropriately done. It's
completely different to when we play co-op.

Hey Glad. Thought you might like the formation :D.
For this last week, yes - just used fitness cards. We've opened
quite a bit of packs, so had about 80 squad fitness cards ;D.
Quite amazing the difference when you can play with one very
strong team - continually. Easier to get consistent
performances, but it's just SO boring.

How many games do yoh play before applying a fitness card?
One strong team works better I guess.

After every match pretty much. Rage quits then we only apply the
front 6 with individuals. Hate starting a team on anything lower
than 97.
I know you effectively use about 25-28k worth of consumables,
but it's the one OCD part that I won't change :D.

So ... weekend #4 is done - for us at least. See that it was
extended due to "network issues" so either the PS glitch has
meant they needed to increase that time, or there were some real
connectivity issues overnight (my time).
Kid did well again, with a bit of my help - 1 win in 1 game
meant I had a 100% record for the weekend ;) ;D. Kid could only
scrape together 30 wins from the other 39 games ... :P
Seriously though, his confidence has increased with the changed
play style (possession, close passing) & has meant that a target
of 30 wins is quite possibly achievable week-in, week-out.
Interesting thing - 9 straight wins to start & then you seem to
get matched with the more ... um ... "effective players". Those
that know how to score and then switch to Counter Attack
instantly (defense setting = 10!) & then settle for auto tackle.
But, kid does break these defenses down & then it's comical to
see them react ... like "WTF! We actually need to go score
ANOTHER goal!" ;D.
The 30th win (FYI I got the pretty meaningless 31st win :P),
also meant Elite 2 on the monthly rewards listing, so we're
pretty chuffed with that too. Currently sitting in 12th position
on the Rest of World monthly rankings.

Been quiet here :D.
Personally, did not play this weekend at all. Blame Civ 6 for
that (awesome, awesome game!) and the kid doing the "Weekend
League" thing. He's done well, consistent ... another 31 wins
this weekend means he once again gets "Elite 3" - 3 weeks
running now.
Ended 13th in the Rest of World rankings for the month of
October, and currently 9th for this week/month.
Have been tracking results of games (yeah, what's new). The
amount of rage quits is quite significant - which is partly
surprising, partly not. So much negative play which means the
first goal is crucial - park the bus naturally occurs directly
after that. Add a second goal & generally they move on.
But, they don't fight back which is the surprising part. The kid
was 1-3 down and won 4-3 - good fightback, so it is achievable -
even with 5atb parking the bus. It's damn hard & frustrating,
but possible.
FYI ... Rewards for last month (weekly only as monthly has not
been received) amounted to close on 550k - coins and sales of
higher valued players. Still have plenty rare golds added to the
club so all-in-all, very lucrative for 200-odd games.
