Re: FIFA 18

Well, next weekend is going to be fun!
Managed to win the tournament with 4-3, 2-1, 4-0 (30 minutes rq)
and 4-0 (42 minutes rq). The final was against a full loan team
of the highest rated (fastest) players in the game. All the guy
tried to do was run with Hazard, Ronaldo or Aubameyang. Probably
will be the easiest final I'll have on Fifa 18, IF Locadia
ending with a hat trick.
My best player so far is without a doubt IF Locadia. Easily one
of the best strikers I've ever used. After 3 goals in his first
6 games, the next 7 have seen him score, 5,2,4,2,1,3 and 4
goals. And a few of those have been first half rage quits. Also
has 7 assists. So currently 24 goals in 13 games!
Played my first game in seasons and he scored all the goals in a
4-0 win. His shot power is just silly. If you smash it, a lot of
the times the keepers can't handle it and the ball just goes in
anyway. Apparently has the highest shot power in the game.
Strong, and can hold the ball up. Probably the perfect striker
for the current game engine, or at least the cheapest and most
overlooked! Been using him at striker in a 4231(2), with Wesley
Sneijder behind him at CAM.
Played a few offline games to complete all the starter
objectives. Don't like it. The usual cheating, slider influence
AI nonsense. The AI is untouchable and is 3-0 up within 15
minutes, then you destroy it the rest of the game, the keeper
turns into god, you get back to 3-2, when suddenly you can just
walk through with ease. Then the sliders go into overdrive, it's
impossible to do anything, you twice get clean through, only to
twice get hacked down from behind and instead of a red, it's not
even a foul. Probably just a ploy to have less people playing
each other on their servers and make weekend league smoother
without spending a penny on new servers. Won't be playing
against the communities awful teams with offline sliders messing
with things even more than online. Rather kill myself.

Gents,
Must say despite the usual BS EA throw at us year in year out,
i'm enjoying this iteration of FUT more than any before. Yes
the usual 'bugs' are there but i'm so long in the tooth with FUT
i'm just shrugging them off and have the 'on to the next'
attitude. I find that when you get it right, it feels much more
rewarding.
Try as I may, I cant qualify for the WL. Lost several finals
after cruising through the earlier rounds. Not building a 78
squad for the one starting tomorrow, so the final attempt will
come in the one on Wednesday. Squad battles hasn't grabbed me
just yet. Looking at twitter & twitch it's the in thing to do
so far this FUT. Suppose its free coins, but other than
practising the new defending against legendary AI, its no good
prep for WL. Good addition though.
Been reasonably good with pack luck thus far. The best being IF
Mertens. Selling him on with some other decent pulls has given
me this squad

All players are OP. Bakayoko and Paulinho are a great
partnership. Defence is as solid as it can be. Likewise with
Navas. Firmino scores great goals and has a good engine on him.
In fact stamina is good throughout.
Jesus....... well JESUS. Great upgrade for him and has started
well as my new addition.
POTM Mane. Given that I already had regular Mane for 35k, it was
a bit sore giving him up as he went up to 135k, plus he was on
55 goals in 54 games, but the stats looked too good for me to
pass up. Hasn't fired up like his regular yet but he now has
plenty of time to catch up.
Suarez. God like. Plays better than his TOTY card from 17.
Slower pace isnt an issue as his positioning is on point. Still
deceptively quick though. Love this card.
I have a backup Serie A squad for fitness rotation, but will
look to upgrade as soon as I can generate more coins. Not
intending to spend any more ££.
Going to be very selective of the SBC's this year too. Wasted
far to much last year on pointless ones
Hope you are all finding the game a slightly less frustrating
experience

FIFA18 would mark my return to FUT. Last year I only played
ProClubs in the end. By far the most enjoyable mode, playing
with your buddies. ;D
Decided to open some packs with money and I had some great
pulls. From Robben to Jesus, Baily (2x), Steerling, Sane, etc.
Decided to go Bundes and BPL. Bought IF Aranguz (Godly!) and did
strenghten the team over the week to this:
[IMG]

Back to 41212. Team plays well, Werner and Origi are the stars
up front. added Timo Werner late but he scored already 30 goals
in 23 games. But the real star is the little Chilean. Passing
and shooting are amazing, combined with loads of stamina.
Defence is solid and Tolisso in front of them is bridging most
gaps.
The BPL team has evolved to this:
[IMG]
HTML http://i64.tinypic.com/bc22f.jpg[/img]
Some pulls but I did buy OTW Siggy. Still struggling a bit with
the RM and LM positions. Have tried different players but until
now Son and Walcott have given me the most return on investment.
The star of the team is the pulled non rare Berahino. With 27
goals in 26 matches he has proven to be incredible. I am not
sure about Gieyu. He is small but his stamina and standing
tackle are great.
Some thoughts on this years FIFA:
- defending is a pain
- placed shot is OP, especially coming into the box with a ankle
from the right or left, 99% a goal. Hence, 433 is a great
formation to play with
- what happened with the managers? No one from the eredivisie
and Ancelotti is a non rare SILVER....WTF?
- squad battles is a nice add on but as TWS stated the
sliders/scripting is woeful
I am building a Liga NOS 422 (with IF Brahimin) and a 422
eredivisie (with IF locadia), just to try it out
ProClubs is still fun but is experiencing the same BS that
happens in individual games.
All in all is this version not really worse or better than teh
previous ones, and that makes you wonder. I have the feeling
that they actually don't change that much but it is a lot of
blablabla.

I've not played as much FUT as I usually did. Played nearly as
many Pro Clubs games as I have on Ultimate Team.
My IF count is already up to 9! Locadia is still at two goals
per game, and Danilo Pereira has been solid. Plus his value has
more than doubled since I picked him up.
Waiting on TOTW in a couple of hours to decide what teams to use
in weekend league (but really not looking forward to that at all
really)!
At the moment using my Locadia team in Division 10. Two wins and
a loss to a seriously good player. In the dkt, I'm using a
pretty weird team just to get loyalty for the two SBCs that need
it. Seriously dodgy defense of Ismaily, Ogbonna, Fonte and
Jantschke with Adrian in goal. The 43 on Fonte and 64 pace on
Jantschke are a challenge! Won the only game that team has
played. But the way I see it is if I can manage to defend well
with them, it'll help me in the long run, and nothing to lose
having already won a dkt.

Even I played some matches last night ;D
A bit rusty start though, made two bronze teams on full chem,
mostly for trying different kind of players, used
HTML [url=http://"
HTML https://www.futwiz.com/en/fifa18/player/kim-ojo/27173"]Ojo[/url]<br
/>as targetman in a 433-4, with good old

/>and
HTML [url=http://"
HTML https://www.futwiz.com/en/fifa18/player/mohammed-fellah/23870]Fellah[/url]<br
/>steaming up from midfield; easy goals, one goes deep, other
plays ball to Ojo, Ojo battles with defenders and holds on to
the ball and passes the ball to the deep running midfielder and
he rolls it in one of the corners. Sadly it was about the only
way I could score goals. The other team had 3 great finishers (
like
HTML [url=http://"
HTML https://www.futwiz.com/en/fifa18/player/eldor-shomurodov/36605"]Shomurodov[/url])<br
/>on top but unlike the stats suggested I couldn't for the life
of
me curl those shots in from around the box, something I used to
be very good at...:'( , used 5-star skiller Flores

HTML https://www.futwiz.com/en/fifa18/player/edison-flores/21505'<br
/>on the wing, since when did they nerve the effect from
skillmoves so much? He was still fun to use but much less
effective, and I don't have a clue what the best way is to duel
on the wing with defenders, so that is work in progress for me,
also crossing needs work. I liked the pace off r1+square,
that'll help great when I start playing better players.
Defending is a pain for me, 1 on 1 is no problem but when they
start passing the ball between them most of my defenders go MIA,
I can't seem to switch fast enough, when you switch defenders
keep running in the direction they were going, and using l2+R2
doesn't help all the time cancelling their action.
I was realy lucky playing against bad players, if they were as
handy as me in finishing shots I would have lost all my games,
now I won matches with 4 goals out 5 shots against 2 goals out
20, I won div 10 nevertheless, I'm really struggeling after my 4
year brake and I need much much more practise.

I guess a few things from my side ...
Spent some money
Pulled a few good players - built these:
HTML https://i.imgur.com/laVmPgl.png
Played a bunch of games - some fun, some "the same old BS" ...
what's new.
Scored PLENTY goals ... with defending where it is at the
moment, goals galore! Check out Morata's stats :D
HTML https://i.imgur.com/f2yXZUm.jpg
Finished Quaresma ... pulled Rashford (38k for a 79-rated card
:o :o) in the final pack, which took the cost below 40k:

As had been said, to me it feels pretty much like the same old,
except that defending is harder. Good thing IMO as it takes away
from those that don't manual defend - just my opinion.
Edit ... DAMN! Them pics look huge!

Got this card in one of the packs from an SBC. Normally I would
just quick sell them and move on ... decided to flick this to
the transfer list, starting at 150.
The state of the game, hey:

nice stats Kiwi. My Timo Werner has crazy goal ratio stats too.
As you say: defending is difficult.
@ pack: I think someone made a mistake and wanted to flip some
coins from one to another account. Got that three times where
some shitty card got a full bin...
yesterday there were 6m cards for trade....WOW! Prices a
crushing except for some high rated/value cards.

Been doing a few gold upgrade SBC best so far in Cech who i had
already so sold my one for 40k.
Built up to 550k and have decided to jump onto the IF trading
train with discard IF have 6 Zaza's and 6 Adan's plus a few
others bought at 12k or less and posting at about 8k profit is
slow but works

I am actually trading myself. Small amounts but hey it works. IF
trading is clever baldy. I think this is how tws made his
fortune. I am saving for marco van basten...i just need to have
him [emoji16]
Changed from 41212 to 442. More balance and the RM and LM get
more involved. Jesus is stepping up the gas and scoring for fun.
Bought OTW Tolisso. High hopes that he least gets one IF....
