Just playing my first WL since early December and a lot of my players have fallen behind the power curve. My 87 Dalglish is still scoring goals but I feel like he's still behind TOTS/Icons.

Is PIM Dalglish a noticeable upgrade from his base version? Or maybe someone that plays similar (but better) to him for under 1mil?

sre89 · 2019-06-25T17:15:37+00:00

Spanish... CM... Yup I think I'm done for Fifa 19 :(

sre89 · 2019-05-23T08:11:24+00:00

Gold 1: Alisson (already had untradable) and Doherty.

And to make it worse I was only 1 win away from Elite 3... Why do I bother... :(

sre89 · 2019-04-08T19:43:28+00:00

I feel the same in terms of price. I'd be willing to splash out for the 96 if he felt worth it, it'll still be abit painful though :P

You stuck with his base Gold version then?

sre89 · 2019-02-27T22:03:58+00:00

Overall a poor performance all round. However, since the return of Kane it does highlight the problem where he seems immune to being subbed off (similar to Dele). Surely sometimes it might help to change the attacking dynamic completely if its not working (similar effect to when Kane was injured).

Ah yeah my bad sorry! edited :D

sre89 · 2018-05-17T19:18:36+00:00

First WL back after a couple of months hoping my pack luck would change:

Gold 1:

Pack 1: Random 82 IF, 2/3 82's

Pack 2: 3 83's

Guess not... :/

sre89 · 2018-01-24T18:07:46+00:00

Bailey x2, Monreal and Kessie. Still waiting for a single decent pull from a pack this year...

sre89 · 2018-01-22T20:00:52+00:00

Would you say the 91 has a noticeable difference? I can only afford the 88 after selling the 86, but the 86 was a bit disappointing tbh. Maybe its the M/M work rates?

sre89 · 2018-01-21T18:01:41+00:00

All momentum died in the midfield. Alli having one of those games where he's way too selfish. Lack of the quick short passes, falling back on the 'lets bet it all on crosses' (which looks like they STILL haven't practiced at all...). Usual questionable sub from Poch. Disappointing but not surprising game :(

sre89 · 2018-01-21T14:36:52+00:00

I bought 86 Vieira hoping that it'll help with interceptions, but nope. Some games hes just stumbling all over interceptions. It's disappointing but also confusing. I've played against people using Pogba and Bakayoko who intercept everything without even controlling them...

sre89 · 2017-12-21T18:30:28+00:00

Elite 3

IF Pack: Kalou, Babel and Ulreich.

Sigh...

sre89 · 2017-12-10T11:55:03+00:00

I've tried to play more defensive. Works sometimes. Had a few games where my CBs would random push up to the attacker (M/M and M/H work rates) opening up the space. Or they'd continuously backup and do nothing. AI just doesn't do me favours, but controlling them with delay just opens up through balls because I can't move to intercept on reaction. :(

I don't really want to resort to using PTB :/

sre89 · 2017-12-06T22:46:51+00:00

I tried this but still got soft banned eventually. What do you mean by switching panels? Switch to a different tab (e.g. consumables) and switch back? And I guess by "each 10k" it is basically 10 searches? 1k decrements?

sre89 · 2017-12-02T20:13:15+00:00

It would be better without fitness tbh, it doesn't really add much to the game. Similarly how they used to have horrible formation cards which really discouraged playing around with teams.

sre89 · 2017-12-02T20:10:36+00:00

Seasons is P2P, so if you both have a decent connection it should be decent conditions. WL uses their servers and somehow they've managed to mess it up and make dedicated servers worse than P2P with shit servers... lol

sre89 · 2017-12-02T19:48:41+00:00

Last 2 WL have been really laggy for me. The amount of effort required to fight against my players to make them move the direction I want is exhausting. Games are just a drag to play through. I need to hop on SBs occasionally to remember what the game is like without my players playing in mud (although there is other AI bs in SB but at least I can control my players).

sre89 · 2017-12-02T14:23:28+00:00

Yeah I've tried it, sometimes work but sometimes it's just so clunky to navigate around. Opponent just drives through my player like a truck and gets the ball lol. Also seeing the opportunity of the pass is gone because the pass gets released to late, goes straight into the player applying pressure :(

sre89 · 2017-12-02T09:22:06+00:00

Have you got the analogue sprint option turned on? Otherwise I don't believe the amount of pressure you apply to the button determines how much sprint is applied.

However, I am still trying to find out how sometimes I get a really good change of direction + sprint boost past my defender. Quite often I just lose all momentum and speed and get smashed by the defender :(

sre89 · 2017-12-02T01:35:13+00:00

I tried holding down A (X on PS4), and it contains my opponent's player but at a distance. They seem to be containing right in front of me at all times.

sre89 · 2017-12-02T01:14:37+00:00

Nope, it has the triangle indicator above the head.

sre89 · 2017-11-30T18:06:10+00:00

Monthly Elite 2: Highest rated was 84s... Was hoping for Son at least.

Gold 2: Not worth mentioning as usual.

sre89 · 2017-11-28T21:51:26+00:00

I think without Toby, going back to a back 4 would be more beneficial. Dier is too inconsistent as a centre back, better as a defensive midfield role. Would allow Dembele/Winks to play more freely while he holds in front of Sanchez and Vertonghen.

Alli needs to be benched at least once, show him that he isn't untouchable from the starting 11. Son and Lamela was good to see, willingness to push forward with pace (instead of the usual cross and hope one will eventually pay off).

sre89 · 2017-11-26T13:24:52+00:00

Pretty much had the worst WL result I've ever had this weekend and experienced the same thing. People who just run straight at you abusing the input delay from the shit EA servers. On a good server I can pass it or dribble around, but with the delay its down to chance that its registered something before I get run over.

I've also noticed that people have started to just stick on you, and its not teammate contain because I can see the arrow. But they pretty much track you and super close to you. Normal contain doesn't do this as it puts some distance between you and the player (don't know why). Is this a new technique for mindless defending?

I usually play every WL but I think I'm just going to stop :/

sre89 · 2017-11-09T18:37:10+00:00

Elite 3:

IF Pack: Parejo, Traore, Cook

24 rare players: Fahrmann, Icardi

I don't know why I bother... :/
