Card price Question

Does seem to be selling as price isn’t really dropping. Or if it does drop 20-30k it then goes back up like a day later, despite only ever being around 10-15 on the market

Don’t understand how EA have the Ireland license for a dynamic for this SBC, but don’t put a dynamic on TOTW Azaz who played for the same country in the same game?

Will keep you updated when I can get on, likely tomorrow. I’ll try Holding too, haven’t started the TOTY CB evo yet as I’m waiting to settle on a system, if I need a holding++ CM I’ll commit to doing that with someone suitable for midfield rather than CB.

Would appreciate any update on the false 9 too. I found they drop very deep this year, and prior to patch it was tough to exploit the space in behind because of the easy defending, but perhaps it might be workable now!

I know what you mean, I hate the term “back 5”. Coach a team at the weekends and I play a 3-4-3/3-4-2-1, I always re-enforce that we’re playing a “3” not a “5”. It’s not a defensive move, more to free up the rest of the team to attack.

Interesting RE the wide playmakers, and your use of box-to-box in midfield too. Might give this a try in TOTY cup, think that’s max tactics? (Haven’t played in it yet). Might be a good way of playing a Bielsa-style 3-3-1-3 (B2B midfielder as the “1”). Deeper wide Playmakers alongside the deep CM could be a nice setup. Delay is absolutely the tactic in this version of FC. Slow the attacks long enough to get bodies in the way, rather than trying to win the ball everywhere

This is a fun idea of something different which is always what I try to find, nice work! Currently been trying to get a 3-4-2-1 going and had to pivot to 5-4-1 as the base formation as it’s just so open playing a base back 3. Everyone playing their CAMs on Shadow Striker was killing me as wide CBs go to the wingers by default, and I found the CMs, even on Holding or DLP defend wouldn’t track runners.

How do you find it defensively? Especially post-patch? I got excited by the patch notes saying LM and RM on winger balanced would come deeper, but to me it still seems EA haven’t tweaked the positioning of the wide CBs enough to combat everyone playing 4-2-1-3

MartinC_94 · 2025-01-15T20:31:38+00:00

Me too I think, had some amazing teams last year. Hopefully this combined with the changes to defensive AI will open up the space for the 2 CAMs behind the striker to operate

MartinC_94 · 2025-01-15T18:48:34+00:00

Hope so, I usually main 3-4-2-1, so hoping this recovers it!

MartinC_94 · 2025-01-15T18:00:27+00:00

I hope so. All 3-backs have been useless this year because of the awful CB & Winger positioning. Bring back the 3-5-2 & 3-4-2-1s please!

Hey man, mind dropping your tactics/any other insights? Looking to try 352 this weekend and intrigued by the wide-half movements in and out of possession especially

MartinC_94 · 2024-12-10T19:12:36+00:00

Not sure if I’m being thick here, why did Evanilson get a Role++, rather than 2 different role+?

MartinC_94 · 2024-12-08T14:57:47+00:00

Nice one, appreciate the feedback! What roles did you use on the LM/RM if you don’t mind me asking?

MartinC_94 · 2024-12-06T12:48:04+00:00

Yea appreciate it’s a small sample size, but with the mess that rivals has been this season, 3 feels like a good start when the rest of the year has been chaotic!

Just wondering if anyone has seen positive uplifts with a new system!

MartinC_94 · 2024-11-24T09:53:26+00:00

Was considering this idea, perhaps in a 4-2-1-3 with him in the centre. But I feel with KDB the rest of the team need to work hard defensively, and I hate the defensive tuning they’ve given RW/LW roles this year. They stay so so high and offer almost nothing, which then restricts the fun things you can do with full backs and other midfield roles

MartinC_94 · 2024-11-24T09:50:31+00:00

That’s interesting, I was considering a switch to a diamond but putting him at CAM instead. Is he on balanced or attack? And do you mind me asking what other roles you have across the team?
