I feel like its harder to build a team this year than previous years. Previously you could activate a whole bunch of those 1000 coin boosts. They took those out.

But they replaced them with way more objectives where you can potentially get rewarded packs. I've been packing jack shit until yday, I got some 5-15k players like Benzema, UCL Lukaku, I got a couple Azpilucuetas, etc. I had about 80k laying around. I actually picked up scream Pique with the intention of building my team around him:
https://www.futbin.com/20/player/43665/Piqu%C3%A9

Pretty beast card. I intend to pair him up with Ramos but he's like 180k and I'm at basically nothing. For my attackers I'm okay with going cheap bargain players for now like Inaki Williams. Defense keeps me in matches with anyone. And although I like to build defense first, I think I want to target Kroos and James in my midfield. I use my midfielders far more than anyone else.

But one thing I'm realizing is that some of their SBCs aren't that bad. Their halloween ones were very cheap and easy and they each got you prime mixed players and prime electrum players. I need to keep doing easy ones and maybe target icon swaps next month.

Got super lucky, sold a Lukaku UCL card. EA capped the min price and no one was buying it at that price, somehow it got sold for 21.5k whatever it was.

Just packed Verratti - 12k ish. I'm sorta getting somewhere. I have enough players from packs to make a decent team, overall 82 and 100 chemistry. I'm going for the Serie A objectives

City and Liverpool wins were honestly both impressive how they did it coming back from down 0-1.

Man u is overrated. Even overrating them they are still overrated. People make rashford out to be like mbappe or something. He's decent but he's not that great

Need some help with forming my FUT team...

Right now I have a 90 scream Pique card which is insane. I plan to get De Geo and Ramos...

beyond that I have no idea. I can go the english route with Rodri at CDM and maybe Silva at CM, but I dunno who my other CM would be. At that point, guys like Sane, Aguero, and De Bruyne would be too expensive for me, especially since I'll be spending about 200k for those 3 defensive players. Right now I have like 60k, and I should have like 100k by the end of the week. So I'm gonna have to grind for a few weeks just to afford those. De Bruyne by himself is like minimum 310k, I'd hvae to get lucky on an expensive card that I could sell.

How should I go about this? Maybe fit Kroos and James? Thiago?

I basically need CMs with good shooting, passing, and dribbling. I dont care about pace in my CMs, neither do I care about defense since I have a CDM who will be staying back on all attacks.

The other thing I can do is structure my mids around my striker, but I have no idea who to get...for my striker I prefer high shooting ability, some physicality, and around 80 pace +/- like 3. I dont care to have 90+ pace in my strikers. Only players I care about pace is my wingers.

FUT is just so much more enjoyable with a competitive team. Now that I hvae a bargain team thats not absolutely horrendous, I can actually compete.

Got Coutinho, Lewandowski, Marhrez
......Javi martinez, Thiago, Rodri

Just need De Gea and Ramos for a total of 200k and Im set for now

Scratch that, this is my new goal squad:
https://www.futbin.com/20/squad/10441559

Basically a Bayern-Madrid hybrid.

I can afford everyone right now except Ramos. I might just save up to get Ramos first, then worry about getting the rest later, just cuz that'll be the toughest grind. I have 30k right now. Should have about 50k rolling in every week, it'll take my through the end of this month to make this team. Kroos-Muller-Gnabry are gonna cost me like 40k total. But right now I'll just run with Mahrez-Rodri-Tolisso

Eventually I can replace Gnabry with Bale and the chemistry still works out.

The way I play, my wingers are purely there for passing and dribbling, so I might as well make them both artists. My scoring purely comes from my striker and my CMs...and even if they are CDMs who are instructed to stay back, the way I play they end up making their way up anyways and fucking up scoring opportunities. So I need guys like Muller and Kroos who can shoot better than Tolisso and Rodri

I've spent $250 on FUT this year and that'll do me til TOTY. Couple of my friends have spent $1000.

I've gone 14-10 the last two weekend leagues, playing 424, hyper attacking to try and counter the 4231 drop back garbage that most people play. Current squad:

https://www.futbin.com/20/squad/8123105

In game it's

Rashford/Mane/Griezmann/Okocha
De Jong/Wijnaldum
Mendy/Lenglet/Pique/Semedo
Ter Stegen

I dunno, I don't watch a whole lot of youtube videos on FIFA, so I dont necessarily follow trends and overpowered tactics. I just play my game. I've always had an bargain decent team...but last year I was able to compete at WL with that team...I was getting like 15-18 wins on average.

What is it that I'm missing here? I keep making these concept teams that are cheap but decent but it keeps getting shit on. Is it the fact that things like pace and agility/dribbling are much more important this year than last year? Are guys like Muller and James just too slow with no agility? The only "expensive" player I've bought is Lewy so I can still switch my team up. I just dont play a fast paced attack, I prefer to build up, so guys I like good passers with good drbbling who are physical so they dont lose it easily. Its almost tiki-taka but I play in tighter space that what you'd see if you watched prime barcelona.

my only GOOD players are storyline Politano and scream pique that you have. I dont even know how I would build around politano but I've played with both him and Mahrez and I sorta prefer Mahrez. I dunno what it is but he always seems to be at the right spot at the right time making perfectly timed runs and his dribbling and passing are spot on.

I know they basically took out headers in this game but as you go down the wings, its so easy to score if you low-cross to one of your CMs coming into the box. Even a through pass in their direction can get them an open shot.

Agility/balance are the most key stats this year for forwards. L1 dribbling around the box is key. Players like Muller and James are useless. What's your budget and untradables, I'll build you a meta team

Untradable: scream pique and storyline politano. Both are great cards imo. Those are the only good players I got. I also have Lewy, Coutinho, and Mahrez but those are not untradable. I'm willing to sub em.

After tomorrow I'll have around 70k, but my budget is around 200-300k, I'm willing to grind for the next 2-3 weeks to get it. Plus if I sell Lewy that's another 40-50k I can make.

I've been looking into Insigne or Dybala maybe. Politano for me was useless at RM but he's great at RW if I use him properly.

Here you go. This is pretty meta. Vidal might be a bit of a liability now and Paulista is a weakness, but it's the easiest way to get links. Allan, De Jong, Insigne, Pique, Ter Stegan, Semedo, Politano and Costa are all WL meta players. Telles is always good. Paulista and Vidal should do the job with a Shadow. And then you've got some coins left to spare.

Shit TOTW this week, was really hoping for Mane and/or Messi

Now the only two worthwhile are Werner and Walker (how funny that he had to go in goals this morning). I really want a FUT Champs Werner card, I'd probably sell up and build around him.

I'm gonna sell up and get TOTY De Jong in January. Hoping he's under 2 mil coins. I'll gut my club for him. OTW De Jong is my favourite card this year.

The only thing is, you don't really have a CAM. But you've got 3 well rounded CMs who can defend, and De Jong has great passing with a chem style. I'd have Allan and Vidal as stay back, De Jong on balanced.


I like it all except Paulista.... Is there any way to squeeze in an elite CB like Ramos or something? While changing up the formation just for chemistry?

Im willing to grind. Not to mention apparently there's a black Friday market crash so if I csnt afford anyone know, I'll be able to get them after that

I appreciate the help btw!! Not the team I imagined but I trust u, I'll go with it.

I bought coins in 18 and got banned. So now I just buy packs. But I'm done for now, no point. Pack weight is garbage this year. I'll drop another $250-$300 at TOTY and that'll do me.

Marcelo is good - I used him a bit this year. Don't get Ramos, use Lenglet. Lenglet is OP.

If you can afford it, change Telles/Paulista to Ferland Mendy/Lenglet.

Also, the market has changed a bit. There might be a slight dip with promos like Black Friday, but all that crashes is the non elite/meta cards. Everyone is so obsessed with being meta now, that cards like Messi/Neymar/CR7/Mbappe/Mane/Kante etc won't crash - they may dip slightly but then rise.

Everything else will crash. So just be aware of that - cards like Lenglet might drop from 120k to 80k, but Neymar will go from 1,050,000 to 1,100,000 as people sell up to get the meta cards

Remember when I was arguing with you @DanHaren2019 about how English teams suck in Europe? They've really turned that around. I don't think Spanish teams can compete with English teams at the moment.

Nothing will ever be better than Manolas' goal vs Barca, though. The commentary still gives me shivers.

Ive been playing alot of FIFA since '16. I dunno how you feel but I think this is the least polished FIFA games i've ever played. Theres just so many things wrong with the gameplay I dont even know where to begin. But the one that is most irritating is the fact that on 50/50 balls, defenders often just disengage from even trying to get the ball. They just stand around staring into space and dont go for free balls that are coming their way. Obviously you try to manually switch to get it but if the AI doesn't start running towards those balls, the other player will get em because stumbling and ball ricochet is completely fucked.

I am. Liverpool and Roma :)

Personally I think 20 is better than 19. Last year was fucked. Flick up scoops, 360 no scope first time power shots, it was stupid. I actually enjoy the gameplay in 20, I just wish they'd nerf AI defense to the ground

Thats true there was alot of cheese in 19. But I tend to manual everything, including fullbacks and centerbacks. But it only works if I I know that the AI isn't stupid af. For example there will be a 4 man back line, 1 attacker, if I come up with my centerback, I expect my other centerback to help out if I get beat, or my LB/RB to come in to help because theres no one else in their area. But they juts stand around. So attacking 1 on 4 truly is like attacking 1 on 1.
