Been a battle this morning. Lost games I should have won where the opposition keeper just makes save after save. I was 2-2 late in the second half of one game where I dribble into the box cut the ball to Butra who’s 3 yards out with an open goal and he managed to hit the bar! I literally touched the shoot button. You’ve got to laugh at moments like that. Anyway, got to 14 with 4 games left. Not sure I’ll push to g2 this week.
Started off terrible, saturday I was 5-9, I usually can get 17 wins in 30 games
So I tampered a little with my beloved 352, making it a bit more attacking, 4 depth 4 width, balanced defending, I was 1 1 drop back 🙈, how anyone can be succesful with that I will never know 🤯, well now I tryed it 🤷♂️
Anyway I went 9-2 today, so 3 wins in my 5 games left would be perfect
Terrible like it's been the last weekends, not even gonna bother going past gold 3.
Last year I finished elite occasionally but seems impossible to get past 22 wins this fifa, the gameplay lately isn't helping either. Would probably struggle to even reach gold 1 as it is now.
Sometimes it just feels like the rank you’re supposed to finish in is set from the start, and there’s nothing you can do the change that (obviously I know that not true, but sometimes it feels like it). I’m normally finishing G3, this weekend I was sitting with a 15-8 record, meaning I need 2 wins out of 7 matches to finish G2, when all of a sudden I just can’t win even if my life depended on it, like the game just wants me to finish G3.
Think I'm done with WL for the forseeable. Only wanted to play this weekend to get the remaining wins for the icon swap but the gameplay has been truly awful. I've only played a small handful of games but every one I had over 160 ping (though felt like a lot more and the latency symbol was flashing up orange and red almost constantly) and when every idiot plays the exact same way i.e. low depth drop back, spam glitched through balls to Mbappe etc. it's really hard to deal with.
Will struggle on to get the wins needed (though if my connection remains that awful I'll give up and try again next week) then quit for a while and just focus on grinding objectives through friendlies and squad battles and playing a bit of rivals to get decent rewards on Thursday.
Played the last game for the sake of it. 3-0 up in the 80th minute. A 90th minute equaliser. Went in for a tackle, ball ended up at my defenders feet so naturally went to pass to the RB.... Fake shot just outside my own box. Dispossessed and goal. Ahhhh love it. Scored an own goal in ET and just quit. No more WL for me, gameplay is trash.
Doesn't even feel like my players are locking onto the ball. Feels very loose to me. Everyone feels like a 5 foot 2, acrobat with 99 agility.
Guys, what is this tactic that you pressure opponent and all his players are covered? Just played a guy who was 1 goal up against me and was toying ball around his penalty box and I couldn't pressure him enough switching players.
Been stopping at 14 most of the year, normally 14 - 11/12, so prob not make it to gold 2 anyway, but played on this weekend as team was feeling great and finished 17 - 11. Happy with that. Rebuilding team now and feel bad, because I’m going to bench nif ronaldo. I think he sensed it, because he really raised his game and was banging them in!

Bit of a recovery today so now 15-8. Will go for G2 tonight. Today I have gone back to my 352, all games close still but have just edged them thankfully. After fri night using 4312 and going 6-0 for 1st time ever sat it just didn't work. Admittedly Yesterday's games I had a lot of lag, still had lots of close games but with the 4312 I was being edged out and got frustrated. I may try it again in rivals in the week see if I can still blitz teams with it or whether it was one good/lucky night playing peeps with bad connections.
After my short hiatus it's been a bit more enjoyable overall, even though yesterday wasnt great. Luckily haven't come across many players spending the entire game spamming skills and making the game a farce which was a large trigger for my needing to take a break.
Shocking final game. 2-0 up at half time and cruising. 2nd half and the connection monitor is on permanently. I can’t pass and I end up losing to a deflected own goal in the 89th minute. Couldn’t player switch in the second half at all. Connection was disgraceful and EA should be ashamed.

Go 3421, high depth, constant pressure?
So I need to set a formation like this before game and then quickly change it during the game? I thought I can use one of the quick tactics. I already have all 5 variants set

I've got 3421, high depth and constant pressure as my "attacking" custom tactic.
Played a game with lots of goals now. I switched to this tactic everytime he scored and didn't take long to equalize 😆 won on pens in the end.
13-11 now. Just let me have the 14th, so I can stop.
Went 7-0 last night. Decided to play a few earlier than usual today and it’s like a completely different game.
7-3. I have finished all 3 games with double the chances and double the possession. Probably missed about 72 passes in 3 games. Players not making runs and my god the AI blocks.
Fed up of playing against rubbish players that just abuse the meta tactics.
Sorry to rant but I have always been a staunch defender of this game.... even I am starting to get peeved off with it now. It’s the inconsistency of the experience that frustrates me the most.
It’s literally unplayable at going into my games with 9/10 times a worse connection so am already up against it...wish ea would have some balls and actually come
Out and tell us why our connections are rubbish when our internet’s aren’t to blame..also the ma
Numbers going into a game are just for visual and matter none what so ever !!!
Rated E For Everyone.

Nah, you're alright
So I tampered a little with my beloved 352, making it a bit more attacking, 4 depth 4 width, balanced defending, I was 1 1 drop back 🙈, how anyone can be succesful with that I will never know 🤯, well now I tryed it 🤷♂️
Anyway I went 9-2 today, so 3 wins in my 5 games left would be perfect
But it's just too time consuming and stressful. Not prepared to give up two weekends for 1 token.

Innit.
They should restructure it. Maybe Friday through to Wednesday or less matches

For the second time this weekend I won 3-0 on pens as in I scored on my 3 and opponent failed 3.
