FIFA 19

This is my squad, Elite 3 every week & just get to tier 3 of rivals.

Trading is wierd on here

 

[G.B]

SIF Suso?

Ooooh, good call.

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

Logged on to grab rewards and register for the Weekend League, first time since their servers fucked me off this weekend, and the whole thing is down!

Red Dead Redemption it is this weekend.

 

[Relentless]

Got SIF Suso and Demirbay for my WL reward picks

Also packed IF Foster and Eriksen in my reward packs.

Grabbed an IF Jadon Sancho for 12k because A) Bundesliga right wing options kinda suck and B) I'd be surprised if he doesn't come out with a good upgrade later on.

Worst case scenario he'll be useful/sell double for a Bundesliga POTM SBC. At 12k even if he doesn't rise then I don't really lose much as it's close to discard.

 

[G.B]

I got Casillas and Foster from my picks Packed IF Mancini for the second time and another Kroos (that's my 3rd from a pack) from pack rewards, plus a couple of 5-10k players.

Gonna buy SIF Suso and Mertens for WL I reckon. See if I can get enough coins for Alex Sandro too, though I doubt it. Still need to pick up Handanovic too.

I put mk x on & found Jason Vorhees

 

[Relentless]

Serie A and A League SBCs tonight

Luckily I'd invested in both. Bought probably about 40 A League silvers for discard price and about double that of Serie A silvers for the lesser teams for prices that'll net me nice profit.



I've also done the same in the Prem, Bundesliga, La Liga, Eredivisie, MLS, Liga NOS and the Turkish league

I'd already done so for Ligue 1 before that came out too.

 

[Relentless]

G.B how are you getting on with SIF Suso? 8 goals and 2 assists from 7 games playing at RF for me.

Can't check his numbers right now (not at home) but I'm getting similar results playing him right CAM. His shooting is almost broken, isn't it? Finesse goals from everywhere.

I had a load of unused Serie A players in my club and with the SBC I managed to get enough coins together to buy the 4 players I mentioned and essentially finish my team, though I don't have much impact from subs atm.

4-2-3-1 in game. Benatia for Skriniar is the only upgrade I'm thinking of making outside of Dybala and expensive IF's. Love Icardi but I think Mertens at striker suits my style better, so I'm toying with the idea benching him and playing Hamsik at CAM. Mertens at CAM is done by 65 mins with his poor stamina.

I'd say go for Hamsik. Think Mertens is better as a striker in a front 2 really.

Not too far away from mine. I'm in a 4321 but the two wider Cms are more defensive and the middle one goes forward making it a pseudo 4231

I've got

Handanovic

Cancelo
Skriniar
Manolas
IF Alex Sandro

Allan
Hamsik
Nainggolan

SIF Suso
Immobile
Perisic

I usually don't like this formation but I'm having a lot of fun with this front 3

3 division rival games and the rest have been weekend league I've got my attack on
Suso 12 goals and 3 assists in 10
Perisic 9 goals and 3 assists in 10
Immobile 8 goals and 9 assists in 10

The numbers would be higher but there's been quite a few rage quits caused.

 

[G.B]

Yeah, think I'll try Hamsik and Mertens this weekend and reluctantly keep Icardi, who's my top scorer, on the bench. Icardi is leathal with front post headers from corners and crosses, and his finishing is class in general, but he does feel a bit sluggish overall and it feels like a few attacks break down because of that. May end up selling Matuidi and just playing Allan as well. Matuidi is the best Dm I've used defensively but his passing and weak foot are awful, whereas Allan is a boss at everything.

I've got 4-3-2-1 as one of my alt tactics but with the central CM staying back and the other 2 going forward. It's my go to if I'm struggling with the 4-2-3-1. Very good system this year.

How's Handanovic? His stats are great but I've seen a few people saying his makes some idiotic mistakes. I was alright with Perin tbh but thought I'd give him a shot anyway.

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

I will not let you badmouth my lord and saviour Mauro Icardi.

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

Much prefer Mertens as a winger/wide cam, much easier to get up the pitch with him.

Decided to register for the WL last night, currently 6-1. The game I lost was 2-1 due to two Bale finesse shots from 30 yards. Infuriating, he probably deserved the win though, struggled to break him down. Server has been fine this week after last weeks delay fest.

Few changes in my squad. Boateng in for Hummels as I got him in WL rewards after stopping half way through, Gold 3 > Elite 3 confirmed.

Decided to get Alcacer from the Futswap SBCs, so he's on my bench instead of Benzema.

Had a look at the packs for Koke and decided to do him, pulled IF Demirbay and IF Sharp in the same pack so pretty much broke even on that, he comes in for Perisic.

Icardi
Mertens - Dybala - Gomez
Matuidi - Saul
Alaba - Boateng - Nacho - SBC Juanfran
Neuer
​

Subs: Red Lala, Red Bailly, Allan, Scream Koke, Red Mahrez, Red B.Silva, SBC Alcacer

I've got 1,300,000 coins to upgrade the team. I want Ramos (for Nacho), Messi (for Gomez) and middle Shevchenko (for Icardi), need another 600-700k to do that. May wait for the pre-crash.

If the icon prices sort themselves out I also want middle Cannavaro at rcb and Sandro at lb. but his price has gone crazy.

 

[Relentless]

Yeah Handa isn't great. Makes a few good saves but seems to have a lot of brain farts. If I didn't have him untradeable I'd just settle for Chesney.

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

Decided I'd have a quick one before Red Dead evening. Matched up against De Gea, Ramos, Marcelo, Prime Ballack, Prime Sheva, POTM Hazard, Potm Reus. Thinking here we go... Dominate the first 15 mins, miss a 1v1 with Gomez, miss a sitter with Icardi, score with Mertens, insta rage quit. Good times.

7-1. I think I've been 7-1 every week.

 

[epic73]

Got 130k and thinking of building this:

Futbin says it's 156k, can save 50k by downgrading one of Pato/Talisca or 30k with Bellarabi.

Obviously the defense is poor, but I'd probably eventually upgrade to Silva/Maquinhos/Ederson or something similar.

Anyone have any thoughts/advice?

Edit: Suggestion courtesy of LOTAL: https://www.futbin.com/19/squad/1471753

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

Yeah, don't touch Ederson. He's absolute wank.

 

[epic73]

Was just an idea, could obviously use any Brazil/Ligue 1 goalkeeper.

 

[Relentless]

Yeah, don't touch Ederson. He's absolute wank.

And yet Alisson is ridiculously good. Or has been any time I play against him

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

Looks like Mertens and Ramos are contenders for TOTW. That now puts pressure to finish Elite 3 to raise a Gold 1 1% chance to pack one of them to an Elite 3 2% chance to pack.

 

[Relentless]

That flashback Gotze looks really good. Considering untradeables it'll cost me about 40k as I'm short a few players that are now expensive cos rating.

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

I'm trying to work out whether I can justify it, I'm not sure I can. If I did Reus I think it's a no brainer, if I was running a Bundesliga attack it's a definite no brainer. He'd be a bench option for me, looking at his stats he'd have to be a central CAM. Red Bernardo Silva is my central CAM sub and he can genuinely change games although his finishing is a little hit and miss. I've also got a red Ilicic who looks a really good CAM sub if I wanted to change it up. I've also got a red Mahrez who could comfortably play there and an untradeable CL Di Maria who I enjoy using who could come in as a right CAM sub. I've got plenty of options.

Do I want to sink 100k (I can comfortably afford it) or so into a CAM sub (who given his stats has massive longevity) when I have adequate players there already? It would be a definite upgrade, but is it worth it? Probably not.

 

[epic73]

100k on a sub? How many coins do you have?

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

1,300,000. Subs are important though imo. I'd pay a lot for the right sub. Fortunately EA are making a good bench easy this year, for me, anyway.

 

[epic73]

Got 55k left with these upgrades planned, in rough order of priority:

Pato > IF Pato
Bellarabi > IF Bellarabi
Stark > IF Stark
Bakambu > ???
Vogt > Sule
Weiser > ???
Gaya > Alba
Ulreich > Fahrmann

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

Sule isn’t an upgrade on Vogt, FYI.

 

[epic73]

I feel like there are better options for the right side, anyone have any ideas? Thinking Cuadrado and Cancelo.

 

[G.B]

They're both very good choices.

 

[Robert Molenaar]

6 wins out of 10 for WL so far. Hopefully same again today.

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

Raging. Cleared the ball long with Neuer in the 92nd min of 2 mins added on, dude gets the ball, ends up scoring a rebound in the 94th minute for 2-2. Then on penalties I needed to score with Alaba to win, held left on the stick for the run up, goes middle and he saves, wtf?

He deserved the win, he was better than me, but tilting the way it happened.
