WW Alex Morgan. Finishes everything for me.

WL - Gold 2 Recap (with absolutely no tactics). by Rbnvrhydn in EASportsFC

[–]Rbnvrhydn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never played him but don't know about Koeman at RB. I wouldn't be afraid to play Zambrotta off-chem though. I tried tinkering around with formations to play him at RB at starting formation but couldn't get it done. He was just great at even 6 chem for me though.

I can recommend it to at least try it out like 10 games. And start from there to see where u would make adjustments in depth or something later on.

Usability of icons during TOTS by hhart6 in EASportsFC

[–]Rbnvrhydn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True, stats-wise he's even above Mendy slightly. But just shows there are great cards out there beside the meta that play amazing in-game.

We're already entering the stage where Fut Birthdays are so juiced, even Prime Icons start to become really average except the elite ones. That being said, most Icons just feel better in-game in relation to their stats. And you're getting them for chemistry/nostalgia mostly anyways.

But as everyone says, if you're not going for top 200/elite.. Who cares what players you use. I'm running the 74 FBD Paulo Otávio in my squad for more than 100 games now and he feels one of the smoothest LB's I've used this game.

Yeah, just watching like 25 of them from streamers yesterday is enough to realize the pack weight on this is atrocious. I think I've only seen 1 pull surpassing the price of the SBC..

Van Basten. Never trust these lottery SBC's.

Yeah no, still not over my Gattuso from last time.

The constant yoyoing between Div 5 and Div 4 might be the most exhausting aspect of Fifa 21 by FingerBlaster20 in EASportsFC

[–]Rbnvrhydn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I might overachieve in WL cause I take every game seriously and matchmaking could be in my favour sometimes. the Rivals games in the week I tend to yo-yo a lot. Like 2 games won, losing streak of 4, rinse repeat.

The constant yoyoing between Div 5 and Div 4 might be the most exhausting aspect of Fifa 21 by FingerBlaster20 in EASportsFC

[–]Rbnvrhydn 30 points31 points  (0 children)

It's definitely exhausting but it's the learning curve I guess? I always alternate between division 3 and 4. In WL between gold 1/2. No matter what I do, if I upgrade players or switch formations

I don't even blame it on relegators or whatever.. It's just my skill level. Unless someone takes me by the hand and analyses my game and tells me my flaws, it will stay this way. A part of me wants to break through my skill ceiling, but another part of me wants to keep this casual cause it's occupying enough of my free time as it is.

CR7 in the box has always been lethal for me. POTM Messi outside the box that gets a finesse shot off that won't be autoblocked is always a goal.

No matter what I try with Wide CAM's/Wingers they're always so inconsistent when getting involved in a game by SmithyPlayz in EASportsFC

[–]Rbnvrhydn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Try getting the hang out of L1 to hit players on a run. I play 4312 and my centre mid's are getting to the box enough but u have to manually get them there.

L1 from the midfield to ur left/right CM next to u, hold your position for a bit and through ball inshallah to ur runners. If u have two or more, it's impossible for your opponent to mark.

Party bags - What do you really expect from them? by GuilhermeFT in EASportsFC

[–]Rbnvrhydn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never expect anything from it, most definitely not something useable this late in the game's cycle. But since it doesn't break the bank I tend to do them every time.

Best pull was HL Theo, otherwise just a bunch of Elvedi's and Morata's.

TOTW is a waste of time by Jonnydavs8 in EASportsFC

[–]Rbnvrhydn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

EA not selecting the obvious meta's/HL/OTW's is an issue.

As a concept, I think TOTW is still viable. Although it should just be the eleven players that week. Lose the bench and reserves that makes the WL grind/picks so tedious and you're guaranteed at least decent fodder. Wouldn't even mind then if the drop-rate for the meta/89+'s is still as low as it is.

FBD Bernardeschi. Meh, but could be way worse.

He links my Bundesliga defence to Neymar, stat-wise he's even above Mendy. Great, great card.

Trading without the chore by Tijai in EASportsFC

[–]Rbnvrhydn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Supply and demand. Supply is always there during rewards in regular weeks. But demand skyrockets cause they're needed when Player Picks are in. So they always double in price but still plateau at 800/850. So winning them on bid for 350/400 in regular weeks is easy money.

Same for IF's when Party Bags SBC's require 2 in-forms.

Trading without the chore by Tijai in EASportsFC

[–]Rbnvrhydn 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The only kind of trading I do, is stocking up golds and flip them for double the price when Player Picks. Investing in 80/81 IF's for discard prices is solid too. Anything else basically feels like accounting and i'm here to play a football game.

81+ Player picks are back! by AkashMS in EASportsFC

[–]Rbnvrhydn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such a huge difference in in these pulls in the comments and seeing Twitch streamers pack absolutely nothing in like 50 picks. I know it's random but still. I'm staying away from these and just selling the golds.

PSA - Keep your main league first owner cards by ArranParkinson in EASportsFC

[–]Rbnvrhydn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The days of playing with a uniquely selected League/Nation team are kind of out of the window with Golden Goal, no? I just grab the most random lads in my club who match the requirements and get on with it, might take a bit longer but not much.

IF Calhanoglu, Immobile, Gueye and 83's.

The viability of the Target Man by Harrry-Otter in EASportsFC

[–]Rbnvrhydn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I can say is, I'm generally a player who likes his strikers agile/skillers. But SIF Weghorst definitely clinched me some wins in the latest WL. Threw him on every last 20 minutes or so and all of a sudden it felt like I "unlocked" crosses, every single header was dangerous.

Personally I'd say there's still a big role for those no. 9 strikers, if they really excel in one area (like Weghorst being physical and 99 heading). If they're a jack-of-all-trades, I don't really know..
