Yeah I dont think we are at crashing point, although they dipped a bit they are on the rise again. Ramos was 270k and now he’s 282k. Kante was 372k now 392k.

 

But Thursday PM for me is the final cut off for decent prices I reckon.

So buy before this Thursday PM?

 

 

If you're buying this week, I'd do it Wednesday night. Unless you can be up and at your console to snipe at 8am Thursday.

 

That's only if you are buying this week.

 

EDIT: I should say do it between now and Wednesday night. Prices aren't doing much next 24 hours.

Part of me thinks I've fucked Ultimate Team for this year now, having blown all my coins on packs and untradeable stuff, leaving me miles behind everyone else.

 

On the other hand, I've half done the Alonso SBC, so with him and Koke (and Flashback Pedro with a bit of persistence), I'm well on the way to an untradeable Spain squad that I can rotate with my main team and save on fitness cards. Hurray!

 

 

Plenty of time and chances to make more coins. Just playing in Rivals and WL gets you loads this year.

It's certainly not some crazy race to the largest war chest, where if you're not at X amount you've got no chance of competing.

Also, there's gonna be some hella cheap deals in about a month.

Sorry that was me selling not buying.

They're not, 5 is base chem.

 

In other news. I've clocked 50+ Rivals games since Friday. I have 5 out of 10 needed for Tah. I'm back at work tomorrow, so that's me done.

What a colossal waste of time that was.

 

I was trying it yesterday and today. Got to 5 goals courtesy of Naldo and loan POTM Reus. Should have got a couple more but had two given as own goals despite being well on target before going in off the defenders. Even tried moving Naldo up front when ahead but it didn’t work very well due to his lack of mobility and pace.

Weird, I never knew that. How odd. How can you expect subs to make an impact of they're nerfed? 

 

Stamina is the main way.

 

Try switching 3 of your midfielders on 70 mins for suitable subs and see how they do. I bring on my red Ben Chilwell and he's a monster against tired legs. Subs around that time make a huge impact.

 

In other news I'm starting to get to grips with the game more, up to 1750 skill and pushing for Div 3.

 

Guilavogui is superb for any of you not saving for Pedro this month. You don't notice his balance/agility, he just destroys everyone.

This. Talisca and Lucas are normally starting to run out of steam around the 70 minute mark so I bring on subs based on what I need at that stage of the game. Makes a big impact if chasing a tight lead or trying to hold on to one. 

 

My main super sub this year has once again been Ousmane Dembele. When he’s fresh against tiring defenders he causes loads of problems with his pace, dribbling and 5 star weak foot ability. Since I brought in Fabinho, Allan is on my bench and comes on if some midfield steel is needed. That Guilavogui also looks like he’d fit the bill for the same as I can’t see me getting loads of the swap cards for Pedro or the decent packs.

I’ve been using 433(3) switching to 4231 (wide) in game with these custom tactics (pinched off a YouTuber) which have been getting me good results the last couple of days  90FB3BBF-420E-4476-8580-EEBBF886E5D3.thumb.jpeg.1505b9380a1a94c0d544b1bcad6f8dd8.jpeg

 

Full backs and CDMs (CDMs cover centre) set to stay back, ST stay forward with get behind, CAM free roam on balanced but set to get into the box for crosses. If I’m not having any problems with the opponents playing wide I’ll change the full backs to balanced attacking.

Updated Serie A

Why do you have your CDM's as CM's?  I've tried that Perisic twice now and flipped him again both times!  Costa just seems so much more snappy and deadly (with crossing).

 

I really think you're missing out on Dybala, he's been fucking immense for me.  I love Mertens, but I think he's a striker.  Tonight in 6 Rivals games (to get me over ther 22k mark for rank 1) Dybala has scored 8 and assisted 4.  Wrong foot, off balance finesse goals, sexy little through balls, a chip over an on-rushing De Gea as I was running away from goal (??!?!?!!?!!!!)...can't get the ball off him at walking pace, he's a total delight.  

 

Here's me.  I've got that Insigne IF ST on the bench for late shenanigans, Matuidi if I want to go 4-2-3-1 and see games out with Manolas in case anyone is on a yellow!  And still Gomez because I love him as much as @Timmo and can't let go.

Only as CMs because I've not changed them and they have 10 chem anyway.

 

I'm waiting for Dybala to lower in price. Plus i dont want gold cards now haha. If I do get him I'll shift Mertens up front as Higuain has been pretty rubbish really.

 

Oh and I tend to bring Costa on at HT, shift Peresic to CAM and Mertens up front.....

Played absolutely awful tonight. Must've played 10 games, losing 7 and winning 3. 

 

Needed to get that weekly objective for the swap player, which was to win 10 rivals matches by 2 goals or more. 

 

Made me play without thinking and go gung ho, so was leaking goals all over the shop. If I went 1-0 down I was automatically attacking fast, as I knew I needed 3. 

 

Stupid way to play which cost me and meant I actually scored less. That mixed with being tired, meant for some awful football.

 

In the end I got it though! That Antonio swap deal award will be mine.

Formation and Tactics Timmo? 

 

Firm believer in balanced for both attacking and defensive, pressing knackers your team and doesn't work against good players anyway. I play them quite high up but may switch to deeper as I get done on the wings sometimes, even if most crosses are useless.

 

I play 41212 narrow and constantly right stick switch between my midfielders when defending in order to minimise use of my defence. Most of the time I'm not trying to tackle, I'm just getting them in Pants' special zone he told us about. There's more danger there than there is in the box. It's a bit of a dull way to defend but it works, and as I said before most good players will just play around your press.

 

Attacking I only have one tip which is to play as fast as you're comfortable with, never stop moving the ball. The faster you can play, the better.

I tried switching out to different tactics and plumetted from 1500 to 1200.  I then went back to tried and tested and won 5-1 and 6-0.  For all I sometimes get beaten by a better player I can't stand slow build up, it bores me.  I go fast build up with narrow width and fill the box.

Dude, just do what I did and play Squad Battles on Semi Pro Diff.

 

You will win each game by 2 goals. Easy Peasy.

Oh shit. Was it not a Rivals specific objective? That's so annoying :doh: :lol:

 

Must've been more tired than I thought if I did not notice that!
