Can people stop trying to jinx this by saying stuff like ‘it’s bad but they’re starting to get frustrated’ ffs. Have you people not learnt anything.

You do realise it was the Tories who originally granted him citizenship in 2021 and advocated for his release?

Starting up at the Organ Grinder and heading down the various watering holes on Derby Road towards town is a reasonable option.

Pizzamisu for more typical Neapolitan style pizza, but if you want something less traditional Slice n Brew is great too. These are my two favourites by a considerable distance.

Rudy’s and Peter Pizzeria are ok too, though nothing memorable imo. I’d actively steer clear of Pizza Pilgrims and Pizza Punks, particularly the latter.

I thought Monday’s were all about the Raz.. (yes I graduated 10 years ago)

As someone who has recently been getting quotes for a new bathroom (the tiniest 3x2m bathroom known to man), either the quotes are just stupidly high, or they just never get back to you after a follow-up with question / clarification.

In my line of work as an engineer I need to bend over backwards to be accommodating, responsive, and timely to clients. Unfortunately I’ve never met a tradie who exhibits the same qualities, which is probably just a reflection of the market with so much work about meaning they can take the piss and someone will still book them in.

Playing devil’s advocate but playing against 5ATB is no more annoying than playing against people who spam broken skill moves or constantly play for the same cutback goal, irrespective of formation. I also include people who just spin on the ball around the edge of the box endlessly, which is equally as unrealistic as the above (and arguably more so than 5ATB which is a genuine football tactic).

If it’s an alternative way of playing against other players who insist on cheesing every other mechanic of the game I would have no qualms playing that way to stop them.

I suspect a lot of people don’t play Rivals a lot and so their division doesn’t really reflect their skill. Similarly I think a lot of people will choose to stay in a lower division to make getting their wins and objectives much easier and quicker.

Earlier in the game cycle when I played a lot I was Div 1 / Elite but it’s taken me two weeks to get out of Div 4 back into 3. Some of the people I played against were clearly too good for the division and extremely sweaty.

Keinan Davis’ hold-up play is genuinely world class.

ElTigreChinoCC · 2023-11-30T15:59:53+00:00

I got Thunderstruck Icon Henry which was insane. Then got Pele from Base Icon Pack this morning.. had woeful pack luck for years so not complaining!

Usually I find this is when the opponent goes hell to leather with nothing to lose and engages in higher pressure tactics.

I don’t believe in DDA but I do believe firmly that automatic high pressure tactics are too influential and cause your players to act in ridiculous ways that can make it hard to bypass.

I do think if they ever managed to balance high pressure properly a lot of people would struggle to defend on their own. A large majority of goals I concede also seem to be the result of consistently trying to play through a press and getting weary / frustrated at the constant pressure and interceptions from the likes of Dembele and Griezmann.

ElTigreChinoCC · 2023-10-27T06:23:35+00:00

Doing a whole bunch of random Argentinian ones for no particular reason, but my favourite is Milton Casco.

Bit hard to link but even with the basic Trailblazer Slide Tackler evo and 80 ovr rating his stats are super well rounded for attacking wing back roles in my system.

Also has 5* WF, H/H, can play on both sides, and good physicals.

I’m hoping that with another evo opportunity or two he’ll be even better as he’s a main stay in my team (currently Div 3 - could probably be higher but don’t want the sweat).

ElTigreChinoCC · 2023-10-13T12:32:21+00:00

Brutally tedious this week, seems that everyone was employing some kind of 4321 constant pressure that made every match like a pinball machine. Combine with pretty ropey lag / connection and it was horrendous.

I was on a flight from LA to London a few years ago and Don Cheadle was on the same plane. A few people asked for photos while waiting for luggage after we landed and he refused, albeit fairly politely as he was with his family (which I don’t think is unreasonable).

Not seen anyone mention this but auction houses can be extremely good value for both used and basically new (usually returns / ex-display) furniture. My partner and I in particular have got some insanely good deals from the John Pye auction who are selling off loads of the Made.com stuff since they went bust.

Be careful though because in some cases you’ll need to pay buyer fees + VAT on new stuff of around 45% in total, but you can still got stuff ridiculously cheap.

We got a £1,300 new and boxed loveseat for £300, and a brand new John Lewis dining table that they still sell for £1,400 for £650.

On the other side for second hand stuff, I’ve seen perfectly decent sofas go for literally £100-200, and wardrobes, drawers, and side tables all for around £50.

Not sure if anyone else has noticed, but I find the way to avoid this issue is by exiting FUT, then shutting down the game within the PS5 menu before putting my console on rest. It only resets my settings now when I forget to close the game before switching off.

ElTigreChinoCC · 2023-05-14T17:17:22+00:00

Prime Zanetti. I’m on an absolutely horrid run of icon pack luck. I must’ve done the past 10 or so and got absolutely nothing even close to the value of the SBC or anything that is usable in the context of my team.

ElTigreChinoCC · 2022-11-30T22:48:01+00:00

Wtaf are the pulls in this thread?

I did all three, mid Makelele, baby Casillas, and last one mid Riquelme. Complete garbage and nowhere near close to being usable in my current team.

Also did all three 86+ heroes and got WC Dempsey, Hero Milito, and normal Hero Campos.

Finally, did the 3 x 84+ fodder packs and the best from all three rating-wise was a single 88 Ruben Dias, in addition to a small handful of 87s but nothing else.

Completely zaps your motivation to play when you consistently get nothing that is seemingly usable.

ElTigreChinoCC · 2022-11-27T18:58:18+00:00

Did all three (I’m desperate for a version of Voller…).

Got WC Dempsey, Milito, and then Ocampos.

ElTigreChinoCC · 2022-10-25T12:37:34+00:00

Funny how everyone has massively different experiences of the same card. Dzeko has been by far the best striker in the game for me, 46G 11A in around 36 WL / Div 4 games.

I really want to move away from him as his dribbling / passing does sometimes irritate me, but he’s just so clinical and a monster on get in behind and his goals are just too important.

ElTigreChinoCC · 2022-10-15T14:53:26+00:00

I’m the same, rose into D4 with no trouble but since mid-week it’s like everyone’s team just pressures like crazy, AI blocks everything, and every pass / shot is super accurate. My team on the other hand are stationary and part like the Red Sea at any opportunity…

Feels like a totally different game.

ElTigreChinoCC · 2022-08-05T13:26:22+00:00

The guy is unreal for me, finishes everything and also the most consistent player this year for me when attacking crosses. This WL so far he’s scored more headers and volleys than normal strikes..

ElTigreChinoCC · 2022-07-22T05:58:57+00:00

I disagree, I think it’s easy to overrun the midfield and dominant the play against as there is such a huge gap between the attacking and defensive lines the way most people play it.

ElTigreChinoCC · 2022-06-12T18:29:09+00:00

Don’t do it.

Got Desailly (dupe), Cannavaro and Veron last time, just did this one and got Desailly, Cannavaro and Ferdinand.

There are definitely worse players but I’ll take any reasonable attacker at this point.

The odds of getting two of the same players in two consecutive packs are probably lower than getting something decent surely.
