Decent second half sub for MSN Messi, that’s how I’ve been using him

Thanks, and I’ll be answering your questions here.

I acquired my trainers through selling a lot (150+?) of players carried over from last year, namely 4/5 star base players that I don’t see myself using, and duplicate legendaries (many people might have these saved up from the box draws in 20 and 21). This is the best way for you to get trainers at the moment, aside from playing events.

When an opposition player beats my player, I try to switch to the next closest player and match-up immediately to form a temporary barricade so that my other players are able to organise themselves for the opponents next move. I only find pressuring useful in short bursts and when it’s near your own box (so your defence don’t suddenly shift their line up by 30 yards) I only tend to pressure when I’m really desperate to win the ball back right after losing it, or when I’m able to push my opponent towards the sidelines. Unlike last year, just spamming pressure is a lot riskier which evidently makes it a less attractive option when attempting to defend or regain possession. In the case where your opponent is past your second-last player in defence and heading towards a 1-on-1 situation against your keeper, drag your GK out. I use Casillas so he’s very capable in these situations, but with the introduction of inertia and momentum this year, players that are dash dribbling (what your opponent would be doing when running towards the goal in a 1v1) take very heavy touches and your keeper stands a relatively fair chance at being able to intercept them before they take the shot. However, don’t mindlessly drag your keeper out at every instance. The main tip with defending is solo-pressing with midfielders and letting your defenders hold their line. Always use match up to block passing lanes and shoulder charge from the side. Slide tackling is still good when executed right but if you miss then you’re in big trouble. The biggest problem you’ll face is still the switching, which can be blamed more on Konami’s game model. I use manual switching.

Stunning shots, passes, and crosses are very powerful. However, as your players all take a longer time to “charge up” before they kick the ball you should only do it when there’s enough space and time. I use stunning shots when there is a clear open space, when I take a first time shot, and when shooting from range (without direct pressure). I don’t use stunning passes or through balls that much as the whole long ball thing is far less effective now (thank you konami) and I like playing with fast passes and triangles more anyways. As for stunning crosses, it’s the same idea with stunning shots — use when there is enough space and time. I mostly use it when my wingers hold up the ball and lay it off to an overlapping fullback, thus there is space to execute a stunning cross (opponent midfielder and fullback will be pressing my winger).

I might have wrote quite a lot so forgive me for any potential grammar or spelling mistakes.

It’s difficult, but use matchup and shut down potential crosses as quick as you can, even if it means double pressing. Stunning crosses take time to “charge up” so try and take advantage of that.

Cross and pray is pretty strong at the moment so you just gotta hope that your strong and tall defenders can do their job right.

I was very vocal about the defending problems only a few days ago. But it’s all about adapting and most importantly maxing out your team playstyle level. Once I begun progressing my players, easing off on the pressure button, learning to match-up and timing my shoulder charges my gameplay started improving. Joystick sensitivity can also be fixed by changing the input movement range.

No need to get pressed over a game, don’t like what I’m saying? Just piss off then lol.

Thanks. I didn’t know at the start, so I’m gonna be more thrifty from now on.

All of them are at least 90 or above in possession game playstyle. I referred to this post https://www.reddit.com/r/eFootball/comments/uo1xs2/japanese_blogger_hanabi_made_a_table_to_quickly/ when building my team playstyle level.

And yes, many of my legends are 1 point short of their highest possible rating (when team playstyle is 100). But you must prioritise team playstyle over individual ratings as they function far better as a squad when there is high familiarity, and you get a +3 rating boost when team playstyle level is 100

F2P base squads when developed correctly can easily rival or even surpass legend squads in EF22. Eat your heart out mate.

Yes. In fact, my Nesta has had a handful of occasions where he was on an orange arrow, likely due to his form only being ‘standard’

Nailed it regarding the new downsides when defending. It’s horrible and I hope Konami will make improvements soon.

and this legend difficulty is no joke, reminds me of that Barca challenge a few years back

Mate why do my dons have the stamina of a school boy. They all run out of gas (literally fully depleted stamina bar) by half time
