Yeah I've looked at your team before and it frightened me. Have you put money into your team or is it all from trading?
Also I may sound like an idiot here but regarding selling players for the marquee matchups, wouldn't player demand/value increase after the announcement instead of before?
If you have the players from a matchup that gets included they can go up loads yeah but it's hard to get it exactly right, you could spend a load on players and it doesn't get included.
There's always hype in the lead up to it so people will over pay to try and get ahead of the game. That's why I usually sell most before the announcement and keep a few back for after it.
A few months ago when it was an international break I'd got a load of Honduras players because of their playoff game for under 500 coins, before the announcement they were selling for 4k and the best thing was the Honduras game didn't even get included in the matchups lol.
Loool the thought of some people spending thousands on a bunch of Honduras players and them being worth nothing.
That makes a lot of sense though, I'll see if I can pick up some players from the game you mentioned this week. How soon before the announcement do you try to shift them?
Just from the morning onwards really, I have a quick check at what people are selling them for and list them for similar.
If you have a few coins do some of the sbcs, there’s loads at the minute. The TOTY one costs about 5k and you get a pack worth 25k. Go through all the league SBCs and do the ones where it costs like half the amount the pack would cost to do if. I usually target the rare gold packs first, those are worth 25k and most of them in the SBCs cost about 11k to do.
any of you play fut champs? man its a struggle this year, i was decent last year but i cant get the hang of defending at all
you all need to try 87 del p if you have the coins, he is godlike
oh and vieira...the most broken player on the game probably after gullit, i just wish i could afford r9, ronaldinho etc. but fuck spending cash on this game
finished second to Feyenoord my first year at Ajax after leading most of the second half of the season, lost to Willem, Breda and Zwolle to finish the year when I only needed a single point from any of them to clinch it lol.
Also lost 2-1 to Excelsior in the Dutch Cup final. Managed to beat Monaco 4-3 to win the CL though which pretty much saved my job. Basically impossible to keep the squad together longer than a year as any player above 70 rating wants more than €1,000,000 p/y D:

Lol mate it's the first football game in my life that I can't defend for shit. Usually that's my thing, I'm an attacking player but I could always defend(without parking the bus). But nah on this one people literally just run through my defence.
I get that you're supposed to let the computer do it for you but that's pathetic to me, I can't help but switch to a defender when I see someone making a run.

yeah ive tried not controlling any defenders but its impossible, i cant let the ai do it all, im like you as soon as a i see a run i have to switch
all the good players seem to manually defend anyway, they all seem to switch to their cbs. its a joke when you see people just running back with the cdm all the time, the game shouldnt be like that at all
Defending is a ball ache, if you just let your ai do it, good players will break you down. Stuff like the heel to heel flick, drag back, and the speed boost off of a fake shot will give you chances against ai defending. Manual defending also is tough, because your defenders are on ice all the time. I try to have a balance between the two. Mainly focus on using my CDM to cover the middle pass, then when the pass is no longer on I'll switch and attack the ball holder. It's mainly about trying to contain this year, if you attack the guy on the ball constantly you're gonna get ran through. I do make that mistake way too much though, it's a shit because it's how I used to play. Used to run players down and use a decent press to take the ball, but it just doesn't work this year. When I'm focused and on form I'll concede 1 or 2 at most which for this FIFA is pretty solid. But just one lapse and trying to run down the ball holder at the wrong time and you're gonna let one in.
Fut champs is just idk it seems like a different game every single fucking day you play. I went 8-1 on a Friday 10-2 on a Saturday, then 8-6 on the Sunday. It wasn't down to being in a higher bracket either, the game just felt completely different.
lads shall i sell vieira and del p to do the ronaldinho sbc? im so tempted rn
i mean he was one of my fav players ever soooo and ive heard hes ridiculous
but then i think how game breaking vieira actually is, i might just do it for the fun factor
Vieira is so OP, but Ronaldinho is sick. I think Ronalindho probs the better choice though, because there's a few cdms that can do a decent job, but very few sick attackers this year.
Also for an OP attacking move if anyone struggles to score. When your attacker makes a run and gets close to the defensive line, use the driven pass to their feet, then use the left stick only (release all other buttons) to get the first touch away from the defender. You'll 100% get so many chances once you get used to it. I use it in fut champs and div 1, and 90% of people can't defend it. Very few people use it, but it's such a ridiculously over powered move. I went from struggling to get clear cut chances against decent players, to constantly ripping them open.
