NIF v IF's

What are your views on NIF v IF's?

I notice alot of pro players dont bother with IF's in their teams just high rated NIFs.

Do you think IF's are worth it? do you think there is a genuine upgrade/difference in a player performance or do you think its all placebo?

id be intrested to know, because i have used a few IF's but never really had that WOW factor like sometimes their stats would suggest.

  • Sif Benteke, Tif Eriksen, TOTGS Giuliano, IF Thiago, SBC Juanfran all prove that there is a difference. For me that is.

    Agreed. SIF benteke jus wow. Same with the rest and lots more. IF's are class this year.

    Bare in mind though, highest rated cards are still gonna be the best. Eg, i tried SIF schmeichel (86). He was good, much better than his normal cards. Still wasnt as good as Courtouis (89)

    If pizzi is great for me, but he's a position change to that's worth it to me. Sif brozovic is also great for me but once again another position change. Ha.

    Lower rated 1st informs can be good but if it's a higher rated card you need to wait for the 2nd/3rd inform

    Not always.

    With IFs they nearly always underrate how good they are on the card. Say IF Gomez. The card says 83, but he actually has the stats of an 86 winger. TIF Icardi should actually be 93 rated apparently.

    Conversely, someone like Thomas Muller has an 86 rating but 3 of that is due to 'International Rep' which means he is actually an 83 rated player really.

    IF's are usually not worth it, unless its a position change or a huge increase (naingolan'ish increase). SIF however are often a +6 to +9 in certain areas as compared to NIF. I can feel the difference ingame. Especially a shooting upgrade on wingers for example (SIF Salah, etc..).

    I kno what you mean, with gomez or whatever. But ALOT of players stats change in-game with position changes. I would still say the majority of the time the higher rated players are choosen by the pros as they feel they are the best. I mean IF firmino's card facing stats are better than KDB but pretty sure most would say kdb is the better cam. I do kno what you mean though as i says.

    I have to admit i did not kno about the international rep stat.

    All depends on the card.

    Neymar is great. IF Neymar didn't seem like much. TOTGS Neymar had a clear difference in stamina and strength. Just seems to muscle off/through more then the prior 2. I sold him for 250k profit and of course now he is basically extinct!

    I just switched to an all NIF team for the upcomming WL. Basically most of the highest rated NIF in each position (Neymar, Suarez, Bale, Vidal, Modric, Pogba, Alaba, Boat, Neuer). Played a couple of games and it was quite odd how many "breaks" went my way. Maybe just coincidence. Team felt great even in some bad lag. Off the ball movement was there.

    I truthfully find forms aren't as consistent as NIF cards. Yeah they can be brilliant in some games, but will go missing in a lot of games. When you use a full NIF team it always plays the same.

    Did EA say they fixed the chem gate glitch officially? All I heard was that they acknowledged the issue.
