    Bought Aranguiz (Chile) IF for 10k but the app is glitchy so ended up buying another one thinking I had lost the first one.

    Game definitely feels a lot different than last year. More realistic but not quite as enjoyable for me so far but I have a feeling that will change once I adapt. I have scored a few goals with combination plays thought that were so fucking pretty. Anyone else struggling with crossing and winning headers? Was never a big part of my game but feels more important in this game to go down the wings.

    I played some 1v1 last night and was really disappointed in the finishing. I had some amazing build up play with the ball being slid across the box to an attacker and the simple tap in missed far too often.

    Yeah Willian misses about 5 sitters for me but I guess that is pretty realistic. Hazard is also a clear level of 2 above everyone else on the team which is realistic. I struggled playing 3-4-3 but moved my team in a 4-3-3 heavy press tactics similar to how Liverpool set up and bought goretzka to play next to kante and bakayako and I played my two best games immediately after. I just can’t seem to finish successfully in the box from crosses so the 2 wingbacks keeping the width is useless for me.

    I am sure we will all figure it out soon but certainly a bigger adjustment than I can ever remember year over year in gameplay.

    Love him but I'm obviously very biased. I would use him more as a CAM or attacking CM as he is small. Very quick but has a great shot. Also his FK stats are really good.

    According to FUTHead, when used as a CAM he is actually a 83 rated player and up to 90 with the Artist boost which I have.

    I’m thinking of using him with Keita and Tolisso in MF 4-3-3. May move one of those 2 to CDM. He is way cheaper than Goretzka and same kinda stats.

    Bought Philipp. He’s decent but I had better luck in squad battles with Brandt.

    Also Hummels is surprisingly cheap for that high of a rating.
