Yea I stayed up. Just drew my first match in the second season. Ibra railed one from 30 yards into the top corner in the 83'

Man, I've always wanted an Ibra based squad, but the experience I had with that TIF Hazard card will haunt me forever. I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to trust another non-TOTY/TOTS 88+ player again. That said, he's about 1-2 million coins cheaper than what he was the past few years. Must be that downgrade to 4* skill moves that did it.

I've got the 95 ibra black card. I packed a Gullit card in a 7500 coin gold pack some time ago and that kickstarted my current monster team. Basically won the FIFA lottery

Current squad: 88 rated 100 chem. Positions have all been changed to match where I play them. Griezmann tires easily so I usually pull him for Eriksen at the half and drop Pogba to CM and play Eriksen at CAM. Usually bring on Lacazette for Higuain around the 70' mark. Third sub depends on the situation. 3 man back lines are dangerous, but I start out in counter attack tactic and that's worked really well for me. I switch to a custom tika taka if I get down a few goals early. Yes, I've played teams better than mine. Black la Liga squads and legend squads are filthy

Mother of god. I still talk about packing that Hazard card two years later, which was a huge fricking rush. I can't imagine packing a Legendary. I'd probably take my pants off, run into the woods, and never return from my mind being blown. A 7500 coin gold pack? fricking hell, man.

EDIT: I just saw your squad, and I said "Holy fricking shite!" out loud. My girlfriend asked what was going on, showed her, and she also said "Holy shite!" Dude, how is that an 88 squad only? My 87-88 squads weren't that stacked. Got Godin and Giovinco on the bench to be cheeky, too. I've played team ranked higher several times, but that was during the coin buying era. That shite just look vicious with the all black and then that river troll legend card at CB. I am green with jealous rage right now.

I don't know how it's only 88 rated. I've played against gold Bundesliga teams that were rated 88 and didn't sniff these cards. Honestly Giovinco probably brings the rating down.

Team name is "Men in Black"

I still play with my MLS squad from time to time when I feel like EA is fricking my form

I know how my buddy feels now. In FIFA 14, I packed 4 TOTW the week that Hazard card dropped which was sick because his rare gold was my favorite card. I did get a World Cup MOTM Pogba, TOTS Ramsey, and SIF Nasri in packs, but you must have sacrificed many more goats than I did to get Gullit in a pack and TOTS Auba and Lewandowski in the same pack.

I have an MLS team that I love to play with for the same reason. If I'm going to play like shite, might as well do it as an American.

Seriously, though, is there some sort of new "aim for crossbar" mechanic that I don't know about and keep unintentionally using? I literally just hit all three bars in a 10 second period. Shot off the left, header off the top, rocket off the right on the volley. I couldn't do it again if I tried.

honestly I think it's human nature to try hit every ball with max power that you think is enough, however many bars that may be. I'm trying really hard to work on coming in a tick under whatever I think is right. I'd rather the keeper go hero mode than clang shots off the fricking bar over and over

I've clanked off the bar with an open net with that 95 ibra card. It's not you, that's just EA frickery

I just think it's funny because I've been shooting really well for the most part tonight. This is a rocket I launched in a little while ago: LINK, and I've dropped in 2 or 3 more from distance tonight. I just get frustrated when I use a pull-back to put the keeper on the ground and tap it, and Rooney literally takes a hop start to smash it into the crossbar from right underneath it. It's pretty hilarious if it wasn't always the goal to go ahead I was fricking up.

Just to reiterate how much FIFA likes to spite me: I just drew my last match 3-3 with 55% possession and 19 shots with 13 shots on target. I had 70% pass accuracy which could have been better, but I also had 20 tackles and took almost 20 shots. It's not like I had any trouble possessing the ball or putting shots on target. frick, those are the matches that get the salinity levels rising.

All this FUT talk got me to actually start playing it. I'm doing ok, about to be promoted to Division 8. Lag is my hardest opponent so far.

Currently using a La Liga squad:



I packed Pique, Ter Stergen, and Carvajal, which lead me to pursue this build. I was using two CDMs, but they were getting beat on the counter too easily.

It's frustrating at times but really fun once you start finding weird squads you want to build. While trying to put together my build for Gray, I realized that I had pretty much also put together an entire Premier League squad of French nationals. French Exchange hasn't seen the pitch yet as a squad, but they're pretty solid.

If you really want your mind blown, go check out some of those Bronze/Silver hybrid or Brasilver skill squads people use in Division 1. How these guys get the idea to put together a sub-70 rated Korean team or some shite and win the majority of their matches in the top divisions is a mystery to me.

This is what I'm rocking right now. I want to make a few changes, but my biggest concern was just getting decent players with mostly green links. Also, I really want to get Lloris back in the lineup just because Joe Hart has shite hair.

I've seen videos where guys play inverted lineups so they have like keepers at forward and shite and win. I played one guy trying that and put in 4 goals in seconds so the fact that people are winning with them is pretty impressive.

I was some lackadaisical in the first half but scored 3 in the 2nd. when I first saw his squad I thought oh frick here we go this is some superstar. but no, just a douche bag. he was also playing 3 at the back. if I was gonna try it Id play 5-4-1 high press and just try to hold the ball in their half

With all of these heavy hitters playing, it's downright criminal that we haven't done some sort of SB league somehow. With FUT, it'd be interesting to see how that'd play out.

I just started playing FUT again recently, but I'm nowhere near a heavy hitter in this mode.
