Did I mention my new team is fucking brilliant?

 

 

4231 or 442 ingame, with Politano pulling the strings the Napoli boys on the wings and Neymar banging them in.

 

Well... I say banging them in, I'm so crap at shooting I couldn't finish a 10 piece paint-by-numbers picture if pieces 1-9 were already filled in. But if I wasn't, he'd be racking up the goals.

[Pants McSkill]

...Although when I do fill that final paint by numbers piece in, turns out it's a Rembrandt.

Is that l2 and shoot?

Beautiful

Lols, I've just gone the other way!  Away from Serie A (I'll miss Mertens & Allan) and full Prem.  Yours is lush tho.

@Pants McSkill, I'm currently saving for RTTF Militao, and its bugging me that you have the coins and base Militao in your team. Get him bought!

[Pants McSkill]

Ha! Need the coins to trade. More coins means more profit. Last year, it took me about six weeks to get to a million, then six weeks after that I had 5 million.

Black Friday is a time to make NUFF SKRILLAH, and the more I have, the more opportunities I'll have to make coins.

 

After Black Friday though...

Yep. To be honest I was holding L2 for the simple volley, so I can't really pretend I meant it.

[Pants McSkill]

Speaking of Black Friday...

It's been mentioned on a few of the trading Youtube channels.

Currently the market is pretty healthy (essentially this means that normal gold cards are a bit higher than they have been recently). We've seen this Fifa that EA can do things to crash prices very quickly - despite the market being healthy it's still significantly down from where it was an hour before they released PotM Vardy.

 

People panic over Black Friday. They think that everyone else will sell their cards and prices will drop and they'll lose coins. They then sell their cards... which causes the very thing they were scared about.

 

So it being Sunday, I suspect prices will start dropping from today as people sell their Weekend League teams and start worrying about a Black Friday crash.

 

What does this mean for us?

Well not much really. I don't think we'll see a MASSIVE price drop of the same size in recent years simply because we've had such huge drops already. So don't panic.

 

However, if you have a gold card you're not using that's worth a few coins, now might be the last time they're ever at this price.

[Pants McSkill]

And if any of the above doesn't make sense, just ask. Happy to expand even more.

I've been trying to do that buy prem gold's at 350 and sell at 650 thing all day, but so is everyone else it seems and I keep getting outbid. Is there a prime time to do this?

It’s easier at certain times like when the kids are at school. Weekend prob has people doing 450 bids.

i stopped other day I have 140k it was a lot of effort every hour or so.

Try late tonight or in morning. 

[Pants McSkill]

Yep, weekends tend to be trickier as more people are on the game.

Try silvers as well, sometimes there's less people on them.

 

 

[Keiths_Dad]

I packed the Europa League Lucas Torreira earlier. Untradeable unfortunately, but if Arsenal go deep in the competition, he could be an end game CDM for me.

 

Other than that, I've spent about 200k getting a Brazilian Champions League squad together, so I can nail two objectives at once. If Lucas Moura could hit a fucking barn door, it would be a pretty good team.

[Mitchell]

Can you not copy player instructions?

 

Edit: Forget it, you can't on the app, can in game.  Stupid APP

[Steely]

 

You fuck. I didn't realise this one ended today. At work till late now.

 

Id be more annoyed if I wasn't chipping away at icons whilst doing these challenges, so not an exclusive waste of time. 

[Timmo]

Seen an exploit for the single player icon objectives. Score a goal, then do two fake shot stops with a player. Apparently the AI can't cope and won't tackle you so you can go and do something less boring while the match plays out.

Thank you! Hoovering, washing, clean pots etc...

[Steely]

Those things are genuinely less boring than playing the AI.

 

Fucking squad battles, I really hope that works!  Do you know if it works on any difficulty setting Timmo?

[Steely]

Buy now prices for non rare golds are on the floor at the moment.

 

Stock up on these with players from the major leagues, Premier League and La Liga are usually best. (But Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1 will all still work.)

 

This isnt a quick flip like Pants posted before, the quick flipping wont be working very well today, due to the lack of SBCs, so you will buy these then wait, you can probably sell them Tonight/Tomorrow night when an SBC drops. (Should drop.)

 

Advice, buy Defenders and LM/RM, you can buy them for around 400 and then sell them for 800+ . GK/CDM/CM/CAM/ST are not usually as sort after and may sell for less, though it does depend on the formation of the SBCs, so dont ignore them completely, you just may not be able to flog them for 800+.

 

You can never go wrong buying none rare golds from big leagues at 400, they will always go for more, and usually you dont have to wait for more than a couple of days. I'm just stocking my club to the nines.

 

(Also, rather than just sniping buy it now, you can also do bidding to store them on your Transfer Target list, until they need listing.)

Not tried it on Legendary yet but I can confirm it works on World Class!

 

Excuse the quality...

 

 

 

[Jerec]

Oh damn on that tonight before they patch it!

[Baring]

I didnt realise your squad battle rank can change due to how many players make X amount of points. So last night i went on with 10 mins to go i was in the rank for 2 jumbos then boop with 1 min to go i had lost a jumbo and knocked down. 

 

You can play 40 single player matches too which i didnt know. So ill be doing my chores and getting a fair few done to make a high rank.

[Mitchell]

How can I make this better?  They are all 10 chem  from a 4-4-2 beforehand.....I can't find a way to get a really good LM. I like Laxalt, but...you know.   I can't afford Hazard or that LW Griezmann.   I have about 250k.  There's isn't really anyone, is there?  Sane, I suppose, but then you lose Allan, etc. 

 

It's that 4-2-3-1 you posted @Pants McSkill, it's great.  I love the little trick sending the wingbacks forwards.  It causes chaos!

 

[Pants McSkill]

Felipe Anderson or Scream Bernard? Start in a 433 and choose either your LW or Mertens to be on 7 chem?

 

[Pants McSkill]

For that matter, you could go RTTF Neres on 7 chem too. He'll upgrade as well.

[Pants McSkill]

 

 

Mertens on 8 Chem with Manager and Loyalty.

 

 

Also, how is Sandro 50k? Telles is 7k!

Telles IF is 110k at the minute. I'd be tempted to upgrade to that.

 

 

[Mitchell]

I can't be having people on 7 chem, my anxiety would rocket into space. It would be something for my stupid brain to blame everything on. "Oh, if Mertens was on 10 chem, he wouldn't have missed that shot from 12 yards, FFS." 

 

Is it just me that thinks like this?! 

 

Thanks though, I'll try it out, I can always revert back if I implode!

I just sold that IF Telles, because I'm sure his chem wasn't 10 in that formation? Or did I fuck something up? 

 

 

[Pants McSkill]

Maybe try it with Felipe Anderson first, as he's 7k and Scream Bernard is 177k.

Cos if you hate it, less chance of losing coins.

Telles would be on 10 Chem as long as you had a Brazillian at LW, as he's also linking to Juan Jesus, or JJ and Alan depending on formation.

Surrounded by Brazilians.

 

HOWEVER.... With Sandro it means you could try Sane at LW if you started in a 433 flat. Sane would get 10 chem from green link to Aguero.

Oh fuuuuuuck, that's what I've been trying to do, get Sterling and Sane in the same team without having to go back to Robertson and Laporte......

 

What does 8 chem mean? Does anyone actually know? Couple of points off all stats? Does anywhere like Futbin show what a players attributes would be on 10 chem, 9 chem, etc? I've seen people say it affects defenders more (mistakes) than attackers...
