Here we go again on our weekly wagon to fight our way through towards excellence,,n with a lot of top tier cards available,we enter the final quarter of the cycle which tests our skills to the best,,rewards are mostly pointless at this stage(for most of us) n it's all about pride n having some fun with players that we grinded our backs for
Also m quite adamant of quitting FIFA next edition,so to keep this thread going ( a huge appreciation to @JWNYsg ,our former OP) I wld really like if someone amongst u volunteer to be the next torch bearer
4 changes to the utility squad from last week,,Canales gets a well deserved rest n grealish has adapted well to the system,he ain't that good in front of goal,but creates a lot of chances
Felix has redeemed hisself,converting into a fox in the box role,, popping out in unusual situations to score some crucial goals lately,,,he still feels a bit behind that Flashback neymar which speaks volume of that card for me
Alli arrives for paqueta,,while I definitely think paqueta is a better baller that the 🇬🇧,the 🇧🇷 passing was a big let down for me,,alli brings a sense of calmness into the squad n with his physicality,helps my midfield trio to dominate most duels,,had originally planned to start Prime gullit in there,but found a secret weapon of alli(his outside box fineeses-4/9 attempts have gone in) to keep the 🇳🇱 legend out for now,,another plan is to start KDB in there,but I think alli deserves a chance for his service lately
Cantona gets handed his debut tourney,again was not in plans,wanted to start cr7 there who actually came back to life,but was again bodied last night by Chiellini,who posed negligible threat to 🇫🇷
Anticipating a lot of Chiellini's in there,have to get a player who glitches through him
Might switch from neuer to Casillas later on(the 🇩🇪 stopper has had some shocking outings recently)
Bench
Wirtz has been a very decent option for grealish,both of them contributing a goal/game whenever they start
KDB n canales are attacking options with tchoumeni replacing kessie in case a defender gets sent off
Pretty bored of the game so looked at the non meta formation thread for inspiration and going to give the 3142 a try with this team.
Crazy pack luck this week see's SS Messi and SS Davies as new additions to the team. Weghorst back in after a 2 week break, still can't find a card who gets anywhere near his goal return and I simply find the game more fun when using him.
Took Cuadrado from the 93+ pick allowing me to sell the tradeable and means the team is full first owner once again.
Good luck to those who are still stupid enough to play. Which unfortunately includes me!
Done qualifiers already for a change so will try and smash through WL tonight. Aiming for 9 wins but if it’s going well I’ll keep going to 11, if it’s no fun I’ll be out at 5. The reds are all fodder at this stage anyway so for me it’s about having fun and using the players I have collected so far.
Will start with this team but will likely change it up throughout as I now have 90+ rated teams for all main leagues plus my P&P Rangers squad and MLS, Liga NOS and Eredivise teams so plenty of variety!
Spinnazola comes in for Modric and has been amazing so far.
Chiellini and Cuadrado replace Eder Militao and Acuna.
Oscar and Felipe Anderson are new additions on the bench.
Good luck everyone and cheers @abhreebhu_45 for the thread!
A lot of new additions come in for their first WL run this week after trying a few new tactics and players in DR and qualies. Cuadrado, Chielini, Pirlo, Kaka, Laporte, Robertson and Butra all start.
In game it lines up like this in a 4312.
Had a lot of fun using this in rivals and have been scoring a lot more goals than I usually do, conceding more but at least it’s been more fun. I have fell completely in love with Butra😍 his off the ball movement and positioning is the best I’ve seen and is the perfect compliment to Cantona. Kaka is a lot of fun to use, only problem is he’s not clinical in front of net so trying him with a hunter to see if that helps. Loving Cuadrado’s ability to carry the ball forward and Robertson is a sold left back. Obviously Pirlo is not the ideal Meta player to play the defensive stay back mid, but I loved watching him play so when you hit a nice outside of the foot goal from distance it just feels good. GL to everyone playing, try and keep it fun ✌️
I’m banned for the week so no WL for me 😩. An equaliser/quitter got the better of me and one slip of the tongue and I’m banned for 7 days. The 7 day ban overlaps with a two week holiday so won’t be able to play for 3 weeks now. Have sold up and will see what 11m coins gets me in 3 weeks time. Until then, good luck all and may the servers be with you!
Anyone thinking of playing this morning, then don't bother.
Honestly the worst gameplay I've experienced all year. So heavy and input simply not registering, it's horrendous. I've experienced heavy gameplay before, but never anything like this.
Thanks to the master @abhreebhu_45 for setting up our beautiful thread.
I will me moving with my family to a new flat this weekend, but I'm still planning to play some FUT games during the nights to unwind. Believe it or not, if you don't take the weird gameplay voodoo woodoo too seriously, and have fun with a squad that you really like, this game isn't stressful. 😅
I will be rotating between these three starting elevens:
The "meta(ish)"
The (almost all) Invincibles (I'm considering getting PIM Pires for this one, but he needs to be one of the attacking trio and all those spots are already taken. Maybe I will need to build a 4 4 2 to make it work, with Pires on the left and Ljunberg on the right. I will think about it during the week).
The boogie woogie
Same formation with high depth and full attacking instructions to get some last minute goals. A 5 2 1 2 with attacking full backs as a balanced Plan B. And another 5 2 1 2 with low depth and shameful defensive instructions to close up tight results.
Bellerin has been great as a RB on 7. I leave him on balanced and he joins the attack a lot to provide an extra option (Cole stays back). Same principle goes for Saka.
Lacazette has been outstanding as a CAM. I'm missing a couple of traits with him, though. Specially the shooting with the outside of the foot. But the card is fun anyways.
And I have that new Auba as a super sub. When I get his loyalty I will add him on the rotation as a starter on 7.
I'm looking forward to get that SS Tierney "the 🐐". Will buy a fresh one tonight. Don't care about losing coins, because I already have almost all the cards that I wanted. Tierney will be a constant starter, and I will be rotating Sol and Saliba.
Good luck, play fair and score some beautiful goals, mates!

Thanks for the thread @abhreebhu_45 . Not sure I'm going to play this weekend as I'm running a Duke of Edinburgh expedition until tomorrow afternoon, and my enjoyment of the game is waning.
If I do I'll probably play to 9 or 11 wins
Not sure what to do with my team, seem to have so many options!
Off work today
Got bored so thought i will give a try
First Match should won but rat decided to quit at 0:0 in 15 min after a Corner, i was dominating until then
Next Match i was leading 3:2 in 87 min he scored a goal that bronze GK should stoped not tots courtois
Lost on penalties
Next 2 matches got matched against so much better players than me, like on elite level.. got smashed
0-3 thank you ea for confirming that this Game is dead and i shouldnt Play it anymore
Won 1st RQ after 1st goal less than 10 in game mins - where's the enjoyment.
Lost 2nd, couldn't get on the ball, passing all over, nobody making runs etc.
3rd game, 2 goals down in less than 6 mins, guy is breezing through and around my team with skill move chaining, shot cancels, overhead flicks and the lot. I'm completely outplayed. 👏
Lost 4th, see 2 above.
I'm out, my patience has now been exhausted with this game - I've played since Sept, so I think I've done well to last so long, but I've just got to that stage where you are spotting all the glitches all game rather than actually enjoying football.
Played 3 hours of Sniper Elite 5 last night and enjoyed my gaming - when I ran, my soldier ran, when I shot a dude in the face, the bullet went through his head, when I took cover, the guy hid, when I reloaded my weapon, my weapon reloaded.
Funny that, game responds to my input, and it is playable, which makes it enjoyable.

Sick of dire reds and no good SBCs to throw them into anyway.
Will probably talk myself into playing later in the weekend when I see people pull red Vini or Felix, but atm I'm not really bothered about playing

3-0 at the moment which is unheard of for me. I’m usually 0-5 by now.
Will start with this team but will likely change it up throughout as I now have 90+ rated teams for all main leagues plus my P&P Rangers squad and MLS, Liga NOS and Eredivise teams so plenty of variety!

I see I’m not the only one considering this to be one of the last WL experiences.
Team for this WL sees the move to the starting lineup of Dybala and Cuadrado, as I was feeling bad for keeping them on the bench for yet another week.
Best of luck to everyone and have a lovely weekend!
