    Those things are glorious. Wearing those every match. Kingsley Coman looks like he was born to wear it when I’m playing.

    Those packs have been great for me considering I never get anybody worth a shit. Just sucks they are untradeable.

    Nothing super insane but very nice little silver reward pack from doing a daily challenge of applying a fitness card.

    Pulled a Melbourne City player who sold within seconds for 10k

    59 goals and 39 assists in 51 matches. Only use him in pro and WC matches so not padded in lower difficulty. He’s amazing for me.

    Stindl has 21 and 17 in 18 but I normally use him for like semi pro matches when I’m resting Kruse.

    I can see why you guys do the squad challenges.

    It’s really easy to get nice prizes even just playing on professional. Seems like the best way to get coin and packs

    Really going to be sad when I run out of coin boosts :feelsbadman:

    Biggest thing for it is making sure you get in your games on the weekend when there are 2 updates per day instead of 1.

    That and knowing your skill level and playing accordingly. You don’t get many points (a couple hundred) when you lose on WC. If I know I’m not going to beat that team on WC why not get 900-1100 on Pro or 700-900 on Semi

    This is true except for the first match. I got 1400 pts for losing to the ridiculous Dele squad on WC

    Bought a couple cheap TOTW guys for my bench.

    Mohamed Elyounoussi of Basel and Jürgen Locadia of PSV.

    Elyounoussi has 4* weak foot and 5* skills and is listed in game at LM/RM/CAM/CM.
    With Engine he’s 89 RW/RM with 93 pace (99 Acc),80 shooting, 90 passing (99 short pass), and 94 Dribbling (98 agility 99 balance 97 dribbling)

    Locadia listed in game ST/LE with 4* weak foot.
    With Deadeye he’s 88 ST with 83 pace, 95 shooting (99 finishing and shot power), 88 passing (98 short pass 96 FK accuracy), and 80 dribbling.

    Elyounoussi was 13,250 and Locadia was 13k

    Hello I downloaded and set up last night and have no fucking clue how to build a decent team on FUT.

    Better at first to just fill with Gold players and worry about chemistry later? Feel like every time I try and read about this shit I'm in kindergarden while everyone else is in calculus. The article Wallcoq posted was helpful but now that I'm all set up and looking at making some transfers I feel too hesitant to do anything and end up making some dumbass move I can't undo.

    1) pick a combo of League, Nation, and formation. For chemistry these are the main items. Pick your favorite
    1b) do EPL at your own risk. They have a ton of players, but cost more than other leagues
    2) think about your play style and look at player stats.
    3) look for deals in the market
    4) play games. Single player games are easy ways to acclimate.
    5) don’t sell most players on the market. Save ones that don’t sell for much for SBCs, but landing a big name player could get you enough coins to bankroll an entire team.

    Yeah I had heard that about EPL. I went with Germany/Bundesliga because of that. Like to play a 4-1-2-1-2.

    Discovering the app/web app made a huge difference. In the past I wondered how anyone could spend the time it took to make all the changes in-game. Setting up my squad from the web app was 1000x easier.

    Ha. Same reason a bunch of us went that route. Plenty of good German keepers. Toprak is a good CB for cheaper. Keita is a cheaper beast CM. Forwards are more expensive relative.

    Look in the past couple of pages for cheap player suggestions for BL. Off the top of my head I would suggest Sule (CB), Hector (CDM), Volland (ST) but I haven't looked at how their prices have changed since I bought them early on. Definitely do the easy squad building challenges for packs and all the introduction objectives for rewards.

    Even some bronze. SBCs help that also. Hyundai A League and J1 league players were selling for higher due to Marquee Matchups SBC this week. Melbourne players were selling instantly for the 10k max on silver and bronze guys

    I felt really dirty doing it but I picked him up too

    switched to a 4-1-2-1-2 and having far more success. Haven't really played FUT since F16 and it plays much different. Really have to get players forward this year, can't just sit back in my typical 4-2-3-1

    My opinion is IF Goretzka. I LOVE his normal version.

    However last year I used as many versions of Thiago so hard to disagree with him.

    Debating what I’m thinking of using my savings towards. Told myself Neuer but tempted by Thiago and IF Goretzka

    Quick We ain't no puppies

    Thiago is like 80k ish... I’d liked to get a better Cam. I’m rocking Forsberg right now... I love Naby so I don’t need 2 CMs. I use a 4-1-2-1-2

    Gotcha. I use 4-3-3 so use 2 CMs and no CAM. Rotate at least 3 to keep fresh so would likely rotate IF Aránguiz, Goretzka and Thiago

    Currently sitting 325 points short of Elite 2. Updates tonight at 8PM ET, tomorrow 4AM ET and tomorrow 12PM ET

    I want it. Elite 2 is top 4% so probably sitting around top 5% right now

    Elite 2: 2 Mega Packs (30 players/consumables, 24 gold, 6 silver, 18 rare) and 25,200 coins.

    I’d recommend checking out futwiz/futhead or a similar site if you don’t already just to see the impact of a guys in game ratings on 7 chem vs 10 chem.

    You’d also probably notice that when you look at Icardi he will have 3 green arrows next to both pace and shooting but that Torres has some green and some white next to pace and passing because he’s on 7 chem so he isn’t getting as big of a boost as he could be.
