If you want Gabriel Jesus on City he is in the FA pool of the default rosters


I always down latest rosters.

EA of course had Yilmaz from Galatasaray and never removed him.

Yeah so do I and since he isn't technically at City yet he isn't on their current roster if you download.

It's stupid as hell.

ETA: And if you download the current rosters it removes him from the FA pool. No one on the subreddit knows why, but there are a few guys it does this for as well.

Every time I get a YA kid who wears pants for whatever reason I don't even edit them. I just sell them to FC Dallas ASAP.

Once i promote them.

I promote everyone, no matter the age once they hit 60 overall (good majority are already 60+ once i even sign them) so I don't waste training on guys with 1* weak foot or 1* skill moves. So I go through a shite ton of players every single season.

I've only had two outfield players in 17 thus far w/ pants and 5-6 have had Cech helmets lol. The pants were a more common thing in the past it seems, but I will see them every so often.

See that's the luxury of being City i was talking about

Using a team with less resources is way more in depth when it comes to scouting and training players bc you can't afford to just dump everyone. So you have to be more involved in the process.

Well yeah, I see your point. But my fun is from building a team w/ cool names/high potential and making the USMNT stacked. The way I do it also resupplies other teams in the game with talent.

Like I dump so many guys who have 81-88, 90-94 potential because they may have a 2* star weak foot. Real Madrid right now have three American YA grads that I sold them who are 80+ overalls, but since their weak foot/skill moves and work rates weren't what I wanted, I sold them.

I've noticed that if you don't do this, the overalls on other teams is pretty low because it only repopulates the game with regens and they go to random teams in the league in the retired in, not the team the player retired with.

I will eventually do one with Portsmouth, just because their actual stadium is in the game. I always just start with the City one. I play every single game so it takes awhile.

anybody wanna get a game tonight on XB1? I'm bored. FUT or online seasons

I'm an average player. Division 5 in FUT with something in the neighborhood of a 105-75-120 record, that first month on the game was brutal for me

I've logged just over 15 seasons on FUT and my goal differential is -1


I'm quite proud of my ridiculously consistent mediocrity

I feel like no matter how good you are and how good you are playing, your record will always be evenish in FUT. I'm in div 2 but 180-80-185 or so.

How the frick do you guys keep playing this game. It's so scripted there's no point in playing. Everybody's records magically even out. I can't do it anymore, it's an insult to my intelligence. I would if I could beat the scripting, but I can't. I can surgically work the ball in the box for an IRL gimme and get superhuman save after save. My opponent can shoot a blind off balance 180 and my keeper will spill it to the feet of a striker. This game is made to sell packs to little kids.

I don't dispute that EA has some stake in smoothing out the playing field but 99% of the time it's you're fault. it's a hell of a lot easier to bitch and complain than to adjust your play style/players

if your response to scripting is to play Manager mode, which is 100% AI, you're not making a statement. in fact youre exacerbating the issue
