FIFA 19

[HarvSFC]

Played my first two games on FIFA 19 after it finally installed last night on FUT. Going for the standard BPL team, so naturally the best players I packed were Daniel Sturridge and Phil Jones, resulting in me suffering 3-1 and 3-2 losses. Brought it back to 2-2 after being 2-0 down in that second game, while in the first game I scored within the first minute, straight from the kick off and thought this FIFA was well easy. But, 2 of my 3 goals were from the kick off.

Also packed Bonucci, which I was quite happy with as he has a walkout, so will wait for the full release before listing him.

Whoever thinks this FIFA hasn’t changed it’s gameplay played a different version on FIFA 18 to me.

 

[KevinMcallister]

it's all about the journey lads and taking Alex Hunters sister to international glory with the US womens team

Yearly quest?

Wasn’t FIFA 18 the first time you’ve been on it in years?

FWIW - it’s easy - just sign players on a pre-contract in January. Sell players in January and use that towards your budget. Make sure you set up multiple scouts on players out of contract in a year.

Problem is it’s too easy that way

FIFA 17

Prices dropped last year on full release with loads of people opening packs + one to watches being released, then rose before Weekend League. I've sold up today and I'm buying tomorrow.

Packed Neuer after a draft win, planned on selling him, but fuck me... keepers this year have massively improved.

Will be rolling with:

Benzema
Lemar - Ben Yedder - Aspas
Tolisso - Illarramendi
Roussillon - Sule - Vogt - Carvajal
Neuer
​

and

Icardi
Perotti - Gomez - Thauvin
Allan - Rabiot
Criscito - Miranda - Laporte - Sidibe
Ederson
​

With the starter SBCs and Division Rivals it's dead easy to make a ton of coins.

If you're running cheapish teams to start off with, Brandt, Bonaventura, Vogt, Ilicic, Kruse, Volland, Belotti, Aranguez, Criscito, Gueye are the pick of the players I've used.

 

[HarvSFC]

Ah okay, thanks. Never really been sure on how the FUT market works and just assumed players would sell for more when everyone had access to the game, but I’ll sell Bonucci up when I get home.

 

[Gassy]

FIFA 17

That’s quite the quest you’ve been working on fella

 

[Stevencc]

I'm not even bothering with FUT this year, I never see it through.

Career and Clubs only for me.

 

[FishyMackem]

That’s quite the quest you’ve been working on fella

It was happening up until FIFA 10 as well when we got relegated

 

[KevinMcallister]

installing as we post so excited only to be left with anxiety as I get to grips with the new shooting etc

as like the last 2 fifa's I will be starting with the journey before career, clubs etc

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

HarvSFC make sure you have your midfielders to cover centre instead of wing. I didn't spot that and wondered why I was so open. First game I changed it I won 5-0 and my opponent didn't have even a single shot in anger.

Edit: Inserted picture so KevinMcallister can prepare for the POUNDING he is going to receive.

 

[KevinMcallister]

Finally installed Andy fucking Carroll my best player from starter pack going bpl team

 

[Liam_SWFC]

The journey is shite. Career mode gets boring and Ultimate team the same. Think I'll stick to football manager this year.

 

[KevinMcallister]

Kemar roofe in my first pack

Was meant to be

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

Some people have more money than sense. Fred, IF Ben Yedder and the SBC Lucas came on as subs. Worth over 5.5m coins.

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

KevinMcallister you asked about a team:

Under 20k and will massively do a job. Belotti is better than Higuain.

Also under 20k. These are the two teams I'd head for. Do a few squad builder challenges, play a few division rivals games so you get the rewards next week and use the coin unlocks from the catalogue and you should be affording them in absolutely no time.

 

[FishyMackem]

Got Sturridge and then Robles for Grimsby on FUT. What a contrast.

 

[Craig]

OH DANNY ROSE!

 

[Ernesto]

Rotate your images, n00b

 

[Craig]

Rotate your images, n00b

Look fine to me.

 

[FishyMackem]

My neck hurts!

 

[Craig]

It’s 2:25am and I’m here trying to outbid someone for a 67 rated Alex Mowatt on FUT..... fml

Is his pace 3? If not its so unrealistic seen faster snails than mowatt and then just when you call him shit he picks a worldy out

Yeah he’s not very good but I’m struggling for a Yorkshire born LM.

 

[Stevencc]

Someone make the Lancashire Hotpots and start a rivalry with Craig.

 

[FishyMackem]

Cornish Pasties would be a better rival

 

[Stevencc]

I'll get the Bedfordshire Clangers up and running.

 

[Skinner]

They need to do something about this second defender press on UT, coming across people abusing it every game now, it's like playing squad battles

 

[Craig]

Has anyone got any icons in their ultimate team yet? I keep clicking on the Maradona one and salivating every now and again but then get depressed knowing I'm never going to accumulate the coins to afford him.

Team Yorkshire Puds is almost complete.

Currently we have as follows.

Defenders.
Harry Maguire
John Stones
Danny Rose
Fabian Delph
Michael Dawson
Mason Holgate

Midfielders.
Aaron Lennon
James Milner
Alex Mowatt
Jordan Clark
Lewis Cook
Jonny Howson

Forwards.
(Oh) Danny Rose
Josh Windass
Oli McBurnie
Billy Sharp

Targets.
Jamie Vardy (have enough to buy him now but not in desperate need of a striker)
Kyle Walker (way off having the coin for him just yet but once I get them he'll complete a pretty impressive back four)
Kalvin Phillips (squad player, I'll pick him up as and when)

Decent current goalkeepers from Yorkshire are non-existent at the moment, was hoping Gordon Banks was going to be an icon this season but will just have to make an exception at goalie. Currently have Alfredo Talavera so I'll save for a top class one once my outfield and bench is complete.

EDIT: Also now I'm on a PC I see what you mean with the rotate images comments and I unreservedly apologise.

 

[iesty wfc]

guessing Paul Robinson is no longer on the game, did he retire from Burnley?

from a quick check of keepers from Yorkshire based teams, you could have:
George Long - Hull
Joe Wildsmith - Sheff Wed
Richard O'Donnell - Bradford

Wildsmith probably your best shot, will be in the 70's. there could be others but i cant think of any immediately

 

[Craig]

George Long - Hull
Joe Wildsmith - Sheff Wed
Richard O'Donnell - Bradford

65, 66 and 64 respectively. Will pick em all up for the squad.
