btw what are those camera settings? I'm using a 40 inch tv in my room and I think I just need to get off my arse and sit closer to the TV

Finally made it to division 1 on fut. Should have won the D2 title but I got called for a chickenshit penalty

Klopp is our coach now. We will never say die

any tips for building your squad from the bottom? I had an awesome German squad

Castro is somehow spectacular for me when i play a German team

I've had the most success with tika taka. I played gegenpressing for a while and it just doesn't work for me in division 3 and up. I pressure the offense when they get close to the midfield and take any transition opportunity to counter attack. When I'm in possession in the final third I tiki taka until I get a good shot, and I never pass up a good shot for a potential great shot unless the pass can't be missed. I've sank too many from 20 yards to pass up a good look, and given the ball away too many times in the box trying to make that last killer pass. Use the driven pass in the final third. You can unmark a marked attacker with a driven pass into the box

it's not that it stopped working for me so much as I stopped letting it work because I'm too ADD for this shite

and I meant more in terms of spending tips. I literally can't remember when I started buying players but I feel like I had around 60k before I started



oh and you can just call me champ from now on. Financed Wall are now Division 10 title winners

My girlfriend's little brother just got into the game and opened packs so I decided to shell out for a mega-pack.

I was #blessed enough to pack Andre Gray's Hero Card. I finally get a Hero card, and it's the FL Championship's best Hero card. I'm debating whether or not to sell him or try to fit him into a squad. The kid's got great stats, but I play a 4-1-2-1-2 and even with Vardy and Sterling around him, there aren't any good English CAMs that compete with Oscar or Payet without having to spend a ton or buy Rooney and ST>CF>CAM him.

EDIT: Decided to get one more, got CAM Barkley (and Marcelo, as well) so I have a full 10/10 chem squad. I'm hoping to sub in Payet/Oscar at half for a boost without the chem loss. If this goes alright, I may keep it going. If not, I'll sell him and build a La Liga squad since I have a pretty solid foundation for a La Liga starter squad in my club.

I'm going to regret turning my xbox off because I haven't lost a FUT game in like 8 matches so I'm sure my ELO rating is going to sky rocket. won the division 9 title at 4-1-0, the draw being the last game. like SFP said before, guys in the lower third of divisions playing with 80+ rated teams are there for a reason. either they're new, or just suck. I beat a guy with my 62ish rated 60ish chemistry(2 stars I think) 4-1 and I think his time was over 80, maybe high 70's with 100 chemistry. I shudder to think it might be a new player who literally bought that team in cash.

frankly I can't understand buying points. the game already cost 60 bucks, and half of the players can't afford 1st world Internet. anyone with even a basic understanding of math, and limited patience can build whatever squad they want without spending a dime

My rule is USUALLY that buying points is silly, but I absolutely NEVER buy packs with coins. I can spare the $10-12 I spent on the 2 mega-packs no problem. At worst, I quick sell most of it. At best, I get a decent/fun player. I've had good pack luck in the past (TIF Hazard and ton of sick players in FIFA14), but after FIFA14 and the frickery that goes on in FUT, I gave up packs pretty much completely. This year pretty much justified that choice after my pre-order packs were all garbage. If you're not buying points, packs should pretty much not even be considered.

That said, that Gray pull is the only reason I'm even going to push Div 1 in FUT this year so I regret nothing. It was fun to build a viable, full chem team around him. I went 27-6-1 in FUT Seasons to start, and then suddenly, my record was 29-7-37. If you've ever done math at any point in life, you can quickly Matt Damon the differences to see that I went 2-1-36 after winning my first 3 titles with ease (with a lot of forfeits because frick FIFA making me rage). After trying everything from running cables all over my home to sacrificing a goat to make FUT play normally, I just said frick it and pushed Div 1 in Seasons. I just evened my record out at 46-8-46 in FUT and got back to Div 7 after being relegated repeatedly.

As for beating high rated teams, I'm always glad when I'm up against a team rated higher because I rarely lose. I try to stay around 79-81 for that reason. These 83-84+ teams in the lower divisions who suck are just people who either bought coins or got lucky as shite on their packs. My FIFA14 Div 1 FUT squad was a shitty little Serie A squad that I threw together because all my others were playing like shite. I sold Falcao and bought the entire squad almost. That squad replaced my main squad that was like an 89 BPL squad and wrecked shite.

Just finished my first season in Div 1 on FUT. Went 4-2-4 but honestly should've been 9-0-1. I only got outplayed once and that was in the first match of the season. The other 9 I had more shots on target and more possession than my opponent. I had 6 shots in the box saved in a matter of 4 seconds in one game
