re: FIFA Thread. The 23rd is our day

Does anyone play the mobile version like on Android or IOS? Curious if anyone else has had problems with the players just passing the ball randomly when holding Sprint and doing a few other crazy things on its own without you pushing that button.

shite is really pissing me off when you sprint toward the goal get ready to shoot and the guy passes the ball backwards to a teammate. Frustrating as shite.

I've tried adjusting every setting in the game and it still does it. Have searched the interwebs and found nothing so far.

I can't keep a clean sheet to save my life. Did it all the time in previous versions.

My review of Alexis Sanchez in FUT:

- Fast as shite and can do magical things on the counter
- Not sure if he's worth the 42,000 I paid for him, but he's up to 50-60k depending on the time so it may be a great investment
- Wish he was as good as top-tier players like Eddie Johnson /s

Anyone on Origin want to play me?

My squad is sitting at 150,200 coins in value between my Staring XI and the only two bench players I have. I'm having a little trouble defensively, but once I can afford Ramires at CDM, I feel it'll be better.

Recent Opinions:

- Defending is so stupid hard and inconsistent.

- No matter how many times I check to make sure my auto-switching is off, it auto-switches to defenders and fricks up my positioning.

- If the defenders are going to be so erratic, make the keepers as insane as they were in the demo. If I'm going to have to see Rojo at the top of the box trying to pull up some hold up play bullshite, at least make sure that my keeper can block shite.

- I've tried the 4-4-2, 5-2-2-1, and 4-3-3 (2), and I'm seeing that I may have to switch to the OP 5-3-2.

- I still love the game... sometimes.

- FUT is fun as shite with a BPL team with all of the new additions to the league. Sadly, everyone in England plays and drives the cost of these players up.

- I've been slacking on trading, but I hit a nice windfall competing on rare gold contracts against auto-buyers. I got the card 1/3 times, but the profit was around 75%. Spent around 15,000 coins and turned it into 27,500. Check recent YouTube videos on best things to buy. I lucked out last year with it.

- I've been so annoyed with FUT sometimes that I've started a career with Charlton to turn them into UCL winners once again. I miss Bradley Wright-Phillips so much.

Did you accidentally change the difficulty to amateur?

To make coins trading, you have to really learn the market and popular players. For example, I was buying rare gold player contracts for 300 (got to be quick) and selling them for 550. It really, really takes patience. I spent more time learning that last year than playing the game, and I played a TON of FIFA last year. Buying Isco for ~9000 and selling him for ~11,000 was popular this week, but the market caught on. You just have to sort of find a market you know and "play it". Trading is just as hard as learning to play the game itself. Once you get better at buying and selling, you learn to like FUT far more. Futhead and FutDB are EXCELLENT places to find out what someone's worth and their trends. There used to be a better site run by JP Flathead (which I actually helped him fix a bug), but he stopped this year due to some issues last year where people were banned for using his mobile app.

To get quick coins, play single player seasons. It's easy, but those coins help a lot. Also, don't get packs with coins unless you have a ton to waste. The average ROI isn't above 7500 for the only packs worth opening. Using points is fine, and I do it occasionally through the Mexican Origin portal (Google how to buy cheap games from the Mexico Origin site to figure that out at your own peril) for the cheap shite. It's not worth it with coins, though. I packed a ton of great cards last year, including TIF Hazard, and I still wouldn't ever recommend it for coins. Figure out what you need and use the market to fill out the squad. I know I keep saying I will, but I really need to write a decently long (~3000 words) crash course on FUT.

I know I shouldn't buy packs because the odds aren't great, but they're just too damn fun to open. I did get a Griezmman and Rakitic in my last two, so I'll probably sell those two for a decent roi since I'm building a prem squad

I've found that popular, relatively inexpensive, Premier League players are the most forgiving.
