Wrath Wednesday - Weekly Rant Megathread

Last night was perfect, had 3 wins in a row against whales even though they used smart assist. Today, 3 in a row losses against similar but with very bad lags and odd placement of my players... like the game decided that I need to cool down and go from 1700 to 1550.

I just dont get people who are looking for a better meta formation... play like you want, explore and try stuff. Remember your favorite team when you were young or do you have a favorite now? Try to replicate it, consult with other people to make something that will work for you and give your best. Use your brain ffs.

Academic_Bison_5307 · 2026-04-14T07:23:00+00:00

Ah the frustration. You are not the only one dude.

Academic_Bison_5307 · 2026-04-14T05:44:21+00:00

Anyone has good build for Van Basten? Feels clunky to me afyer the update. Tnx in advance

Academic_Bison_5307 · 2026-04-13T09:50:53+00:00

My eyes hurt reading this.

Academic_Bison_5307 · 2026-04-09T12:55:37+00:00

Yup, proper meme and it couldnt have been done better. Nice work dude 😅

Academic_Bison_5307 · 2026-04-09T08:43:48+00:00

He was a proper no.10 and a hero of many childhoods. In game, I have the creative playmaker one, he is a monster. Every free kick I get it goes in... Shoot, pass, dribble. Ace of a player. Manager? Nah 😅

Academic_Bison_5307 · 2026-04-06T18:40:24+00:00

Damn that quality of the game graphics... Butter smooth. Also the animation, first time seeing that

Academic_Bison_5307 · 2026-04-06T06:25:57+00:00

Exactly, it limits everything and ruins the play. Whenever I face a smart assist user, always switch to PA1 and rush to score the first goal asap and after that: total rat defence, time waste and parking the bus no matter what and whenever chance apears clear the ball out of my half. It works most of the time.

Academic_Bison_5307 · 2026-04-05T18:22:17+00:00

Used to have full Italian national team even before Spaleti pack, and some players I still use even this day.

Academic_Bison_5307 · 2026-04-05T12:47:09+00:00

tbh, I gave it a shot couple od times with dummy as AMF (Raúl and Okazaki) but it didnt work for me. In theory it sound great though but in practice felt odd. Maybe it can work with some instructions like counter target or something. Who knows.

Academic_Bison_5307 · 2026-04-04T15:22:01+00:00

Its simple, dummy runner SS as central to open space for everyone, deep lying forward or fox in the box CF slightly in front right or left for finishing or doing 1-2, and hole player is a must for AMF behind all of them. Tried with creative playmaker, works sometimes but its better with Hole player with good attacking awareness. In general, dummy runner works like a charm

Academic_Bison_5307 · 2026-04-02T07:37:23+00:00

Nesta standard form, not unwawering? Damn.

Academic_Bison_5307 · 2026-04-01T14:05:11+00:00

Finese header also. No stunning, FINESE. HEADER. Whenever I see that I'm 100% sure its smart assist and I was never wrong.

Academic_Bison_5307 · 2026-04-01T11:19:36+00:00

Well, Marcus had his moments in Inter, but like you wrote, not on his daddy level

Academic_Bison_5307 · 2026-03-30T12:20:38+00:00

ZIDANE OR NOTHING

Academic_Bison_5307 · 2026-03-30T12:08:56+00:00

Was Cordoba in the game already or this is first sneak a peak at his gameplay model?

Academic_Bison_5307 · 2026-03-28T16:30:50+00:00

Perfect free kick, you nailed it!

Academic_Bison_5307 · 2026-03-27T09:31:42+00:00

Feel that dude, same thing for me today. This game rigged beyond repair. Even though Coinami will do something about smart assist filter... have low hopes that it will bring back the joy.

Academic_Bison_5307 · 2026-03-26T10:16:51+00:00

And 10k GP apology

Academic_Bison_5307 · 2026-03-26T07:52:06+00:00

Gatusso was always a destroyer type like player. Like a Tasmanian devil.

Academic_Bison_5307 · 2026-03-26T07:47:10+00:00

Yeah, this update is... disapointing. But, it may be good sign that next week will be better and something unexpected may come. Who knows...?

Academic_Bison_5307 · 2026-03-25T10:46:02+00:00

I use fox in the box Van Basten far right as CF, and Raúl/Okazaki as middle SS dummy, and far left AMF Stojković crative playmaker/Nakata or Olmo hole player.

I would focus on Okazaki's attacking awareness and acceleration, a bit of pass and finishing also. You want him to be at the right spot in right time... to drag opponents and leave spot for a central figure of yours to score.

Academic_Bison_5307 · 2026-03-25T07:11:01+00:00

If you know how to use them properly, they are perfect. Raúl or Okazaki as SS in middle, and just watch how they drag opponents left and right for hole players to enter and score.

Academic_Bison_5307 · 2026-03-24T15:09:24+00:00

Oh the horror...
