The manager not affecting a single player in the lineup killed me. A German manager an using the card to make him Ligue 1 would bump up 7 players
I’m a FUT amateur don’t why I didn’t realize manager affected players. You can change league of your manager?
Yeah I would’ve included that in my quoted post had I seen it up front. Guys chemistry level is affected by the guys linked to them based on League/Club/Nationality but also have by loyalty (that you packed them or that they’ve played 10+ matches for you) and by manager (based on Nationality or League) So my example for you for your current roster would be to find any German manager (you could find a bronze for 200 buy it now if not gold) and then buy a Ligue 1 manager League card (I’d be shocked if more than 200 buy it now) and then you’d be at 90 chemistry with 7 of those guys boosted from 7 to 8
Also scatman duse just so you know I’m not just here to laugh at you, I also did the research to let you know where your guys are, where they’d be if you get a manager to boost them and if you got them at 10 chem. Draxler 85 -> 86 (if 10 chem, 87) Rudy 83 -> 84 (if 10 chem, 86) Pastore 85 -> 86 (if 10 chem, 88) Marquinhos 86 -> 87 (if 10 chem, 90) Howedes 86 -> 87 (if 10 chem, 89) Ter Stegen They don’t have the keeper chem styles so not sure but it’ll affect him also. Torres 80 -> 81 (if 10 chem, 81) Catalyst isn’t your best option here. Deadeye/Maestro/Marksman 86, Hunter/Sniper 86 Laporte 86 -> 87 (if 10 chem, 90) Since Di Maria is already at 10 chem he isn’t affected so you definitely want a German manager but can decide if you want Ligue 1 to help Marquinhos/Pastore or LaLiga to help Torres/Laporte. That should make your team a little better for now but I’d continue to look at how to improve to 100 chem by changing out a few guys
No I appreciate it, where is most of this info available? Felt like I had a good handle on it but seeing still so much more to it.
Futwiz and Futhead will let you check in game ratings based on chemistry style and their chemistry level. I’m sure there are others but those are the biggest sites
This has some starter info Futwiz or Futhead are good places to check out how chemistry and how chem styles will affect players in game stats.
Checking in before the rewards are out. Finished Elite 3. Missed out on Elite by 420 points. To make it worse, I lost my last 2 matches playing on Pro and WC. Had I gone down a difficulty level and won, I’d have got Elite 2
Only achieved gold 2, missed at least 12 matches throughout the week. Got lucky pulling TOTW Lichtsteiner for my rewards. After selling should be over 400k coins, only 100k away from Pogba.
Another week of packing nothing. Got the GK Horn but that’s it. Bought a Carrasco to help the Spanish team out.
Got Ozil and Douglas Costa so pretty happy with rewards. Building a La Liga squad, in the early stages but already reunited with Gameiro.
I packed Gameiro early and have him in a front 3 with Carrasco and Williams. My La Liga team will be pretty good once I get a defense. I’m super jealous of everyone packing good players this week.
I played my first-ever online game today. I think I made the guy kill himself. He knew all the fancypants moves and was flat embarrassing and megging all my guys. Had 80% possession. I won 3-0 though and he didn't play the final five minutes
Online is a shit show... I played my 1st game. Came back from 2-0 down in the 2nd half to win 4-2 but it’s not enjoyable at all.
Zuber is what max 6 at RB? Think he could get to 7 at LB but playing on opposite side would drop that to 5 or 6 I played TOTS Guerreiro last year at LB on 7 chem but his stats were so boosted it was fine Edit: After checking it out, Zuber still 82 RB with 5 chem and 83 with 6. Not bad
Bought Laporte for 1k and Gimenez for 1.5k to go along with Gaya and Carvajal that I had gotten earlier.
My La Liga squad, 4-1-2-1-2 (Diamond Wide) GK: Navas (Glove) RB: Carvajal (Shadow), Juanfran CB: Gimenez (Sentinel), Laporte (Sentinel), Mascherano, Savic LB: Gaya (Sentinel) CDM: N'Zonzi (Powerhouse), Paulinho LM: Deulofeu (Engine), Gaitan, Vitolo RM: Williams (Engine), Vazquez, Castillejo CAM: Asensio (Artist), Vazquez ST: IF Zaza (Hunter), Gameiro (Hunter), IF Sanabria (Deadeye, will put Hunter), Aduriz
Played them on WC. I dominated but Ter Stegen was insane. Finally got one through and won 1-0. Had MANY near misses by them that I dont know how they stayed out.
I’m not sure how that’s related to my comment. Wasn’t questioning the use of him there outside of max chemistry for him being low. Though even with that he’s still about as good as Piszczek (though Pisz in game will be a good bit higher)
Those kits are wild. Got ran off the pitch playing a sbc today who wore those. Maybe worst game of fifa I have ever played
got beat 3-1 on WC. It seems every 3rd match now features a goal mouth scramble that leads to a goal against. I got passed to death against this squad and Ter Stegen kept out 2 perfect corners. I feel cheated by EA by not boosting my corners because I have Tony Pulis as manager.
Oh just explaining why I like him there even despite the chemistry issue. Really balanced and can shoot and dribble which is what I like
After a small sample size with the La Liga squad: - Gameiro w Hunter - IF Sanabria > IF Zaza - Asensio is so good - Deulofeu is too good for his rating or real life - Williams is so fast but not as agile as Bruma, liked Vazquez too. Considering buying IF Joaquin (22k) - N'Zonzi is a monster like last year, just need a little pace. An IF N'Zonzi would be a must buy again. - Not too impressed with my CBs yet but I was used to Sokratis and IF Ginter which are both great. - Looking at IF Odriozola (13k) at RB. With Shadow his in game rating is 90
Any particular cards you guys have had regular success in flipping? I'm trying to build up a baseline of coins by flipping cards. At first I just started doing it by finding underpriced Bundesliga cards as I was searching for players for my own team, but figure it may be more doable in the Premier League or La Liga
Is anyone doing a Serie A, Ligue 1, or one of the countries not named England, Spain, Germany, or France? Try Denis Suarez in your MF. I have had more trouble against him with his passing and defending than most of the MFs I have seen from La Liga.
Still using my Monaco crest I got free untradeable and then using the Oktoberfest kits. Don’t remember what my aways are, I don’t use them
Haven’t done much this year but last year tried keeping an eye on upcoming matches to prep for marquee matchups SBCs. It was a slow process but made coins. Best way is choosing a OTW card you expect to be good that sells for below what it will with upgrades and investing in it. Or if someone is going to get a winter upgrade and has IF cards, investing in those. Made a bunch a couple years ago on IF Lacazette when he got an upgrade
I’m using Brentford’s badge I packed and Liverpool’s orange kit as Home and the octoberfest kit as my away.
I'm switching between Bayern home kit + Oktoberfest kits at Allianz or Real home + Real third at Bernabeu
I think I'm just confused at why I can easily buy some guys for 600 on the market and others of (what I think are) the same card are regularly being bid up to 2000 or so
Pretty much what Quick said. Last year Mane was a 79. Card was pretty cheap as their weren’t high expectations. Pretty sure below 50k. He got TOTW. He got a winter upgrade to 82. All the TOTW got boosted. Eventually up to 87. Think it was up around 1 mil, definitely over 700k. Last year it was only for TOTW but not for special MOTM from big matches, Team of the Group Stage from UCL, Team of the Knockout Rounds from UCL, Hero cards. This year it sounds like you get upgrades from them also.
