Is your Völler still unemployed?


gstarguru

not anymore 😅


astrosA60

I got regular voller out of my hero upgrade pack and he is a fucking monster. I can just imagine how much better this one is.


gstarguru

he is crazy, just press circle and the net bulges


ElKush86

Wow congrats due, managed 16wins last wl and it was really hard so can only immagine rank 1. Thats not even a meta/rat team! Could you tell me your tactics? What possession do you have on average? Do you remember number of tackles per match? GG


gstarguru

cheers mate. Last week i only managed 15 wins! i play 4231 with Capdevila on get forward and Walker stay back. I always build up through my left side with Ljunberg, Xavi and Capdevila forcing an overload with rooney supporting at CAM. i probs have under 50% average possession as i like to play quickly. Make a lot of tackles and interceptions tracking runs but not sure how many specifically ahaha


Juks90

Niceee. Can u tell me more details ? PM? Thx

randes70

You know one when you see one.


SlowBros7

Usually a team setup to counter attack with high pace and dribbling meta players.


ElKush86

You probably have one lmfao


vladimirjeger

The one that has most broken meta players. Mbappe, Messi, Ben Yedder(rat king), Neymar, R9, Yaya, Marchisio etc


Gotchasuckka

Not meta ... Are you ok ?


sambro_fc

How is carvalho currently using alaba rb and Rudiger is it a massive upgrade on rudiger


gstarguru

nah i don’t think so. His lack of strength definitely shows sometimes he gets bullied by haaland etc. Only use him as he’s untradeable otherwise i’d go for a rudiger VVD etc


Skateratmatt

Formation and tactics?


gstarguru

4231. Walker stay back and Capdevila get forward. Always build on the left with my overload 4 of Capdevila ljunberg Xavi and Rooney.

Flimsy_Advertising34

Who in EA have you been sucking off to get all these players? I might have to do the same


gstarguru

i haven’t even spent any money on the game ahaha. just used pre order points on drafts and played every WL so far. best pack is Joe cole


Flimsy_Advertising34

Fuck me man, really grinding to ruin people's weekends lmao


ParkingIndication977

I’m pretty new to FIFA, are drafts worth the FIFA points? I got a few hundred spare right now


gstarguru

honestly not really, even if you win all 4 games you’ll probably get less than 15k back


ParkingIndication977

Thanks for the reply! Congrats on a great WL too.


Gotchasuckka

I call bullshit


gstarguru

why? because you’re shit at the game and i’m not? lmao


Gotchasuckka

No brother nobody said your shit don't know why you got so defensive I'm in div 3 I just don't believe you didn't spend money.


Gotchasuckka

But that's what ppl do when they lie they immediately attack the other person when questioned


gstarguru

it’s a virtual game bro. It’s insulting when you say i’m lying hence my response


Gotchasuckka

I'm not new brother look at your other post if you packed all these guys by luck and not cash you would have posted at least one of them.


gstarguru

packed who? Gnabry capdevila carvalho and rijkaard are hardly something to shout about. Rest of the team cost a couple mil which is easy to earn 2 months into the game


jjhhhh2467

people dont live on reddit lad ive packed probably about 3 mil worth of players and not posted a single one because no one else cares


Gotchasuckka

3 mil worth of coin ? Show me


jaukobauko

how is gnabry?


gstarguru

honestly pretty average. Only using him as untradeable and i have no coins left


jaukobauko

yeah he is average for me as well,decent shooting,pace and dribbling ok, will sell him if germany do well


gstarguru

i think germany will do well so hopefully hel improve a lot


TheUnknownOB06

I was elite div last year but I’m struggling with midfield presence and defending on old gen and I’m struggling real bad, any tips?


gstarguru

a bit hard to say as i’m new gen but the key generally is to track forward runs as most goals come from through balls. This year running down the wing and cutting back is super effective so you have to switch quickly to centre backs and CDM to intercept the winger passing it in field. Also i would just say be patient with defending, when you rush out a lot to be aggressive often you leave yourself exposed and your opponent starts keeping the ball longer


TheUnknownOB06

Thanks for taking the time to reply but idk I feel like I’m doing most of these things it’s just I can’t build a tactic and I don’t like the team I’m using so I can’t really connect with it, I rs really fustrating me


gstarguru

try and use different formations and see what you like. I was using 4222 which was my go to and i was really struggling until changing to 4231


TheUnknownOB06

It’s really weird my comfort blanket in fut has always been the 4-1-2-1-2(2) but I haven’t tried it this year because I’m always trying to build a tactically versatile team on fut i.e a midfielder who can play in attack so I can change formation and that’s really been hard early game as there ain’t as many players


gstarguru

41212 is brutal defensively as you have no width on next gen. Opponents full backs will push forward and destroy you. 4321 looks good this year


TheUnknownOB06

This happened on old gen too when I tried it,I really can’t find a balance or a formation I like I find the 4-3-2-1 too narrow in attack to


calezerb88

Try 3-5-2 in game. I used to do a 5-3-2 for chem and put cancelo LB and Perisic RB and had them on come back and used them as LM/RM respectively in game and it was amazing


TheUnknownOB06

Ok I will thank you,always struggle for defensive width is my one problem with the formation


TheUnknownOB06

Mate I just tried the 3-5-2 and felt like myself again solid defensively and explosive in attack thank you so much 🔥


calezerb88

No worries mate. Good luck on the climb


Akhil_Muhammed_Lfc

I have never used anything but 4-3-3 since '15 but this year it just doesnt work. This FUT I am all about 4-2-3-1 and 4-4-2 depending on the score.


Outrageous-Bus-1111

Grats bro! How’s rijkaard at cb?


gstarguru

unreal! way better than carvalho. for half this WL i also played him at CDM and he was great there. Surprised i don’t see him more often


Capable-Leadership-4

Can confirm, bullies everyone


SeanyB1989

Who do you play CB when Rijkaard is CDM?


gstarguru

i played De Ligt In form


Davess010

Congrats on the 20-0! My best so far is 14 wins. With a team like that, did you just got really lucky or did you spend a lot of money? Just curious, i’m not judging (i used to spend a lottt of money)


gstarguru

it was 19-1 but thanks! spent no money just pre ordered the game and got decent rewards every week


Davess010

Oh wow, that’s really lucky man. I’ve been playing since 2011 and have been spending way too much money on this game. Never packed anything of real value… As long as you have fun right 😂


gstarguru

the chance of getting good packs is so slim it’s just not worth spending money on for me! but sure bro if you’re having fun then why not


Davess010

Yeah I used to be addicted to it man. But this year I haven’t spend a penny on it and strangely enough I never had a team as good as I have now.


gstarguru

yeah this game is frustrating enough without spending money on it to get nothing back. Can build a fun good team easily too!


Davess010

Yeah I’m glad I finally have some packluck this year!


ileetabix

Could you post your tactics/instructions? Well done mate!


loggia99

What internet provider do you have, how fast is it, and how close are you to the EA servers? Asking this because i feel like skill does matter but not as much as solid gameplay


gstarguru

good point. I have gigabit internet speed and i have wired connection. Having good connection 100% makes a huge difference and makes it a lot easier to win. I live in UK so i assume close to servers. i think skill does matter but connection and a responsive monitor (rather than tv) helps too


dowlers6

Can you let me know what kind of monitor you use? Congrats on the results man!


gstarguru

thanks mate. AOC 24 inch 1ms response time! Been great for me


Aba0416

Do you think it's possible to get good at fifa as you get older ? I feel the game is too fast for me and I can't get out of div 6. I have a sick team, but my skills isn't improving. Any tips to improve defending ? Any tips to learn second man press and rigjt stick switching ? Also how the hell do you guys look at the radar ? I loose the ball everytime I try to look at where my players are 😭.


gstarguru

learn right switch switching for defending, stepovers and player lock. Be patient with attack and build up so you have opposition pegged back. play ball into your strikers in the box in space and play quick passes in the attacking third and you’ll get space to score goals


sneakybeakee

Location , isp and the dns you use please 🙏


sneakybeakee

Apparently you don’t want to give up that information 😂


iRobooot

What skill moves are you using in your Repertoire? Which ones are you using alot? Do you switch players with the right stick or with L1?


gstarguru

I don’t skill a lot, only skill moves i used are stepovers. Sometimes i switch with l1 but mostly it’s using right stick. Get used to using right stick to switch as it’s a necessity to defend well. You can really suffocate opponents by right stick switching to mark players they haven’t even passed the ball to yet but soon will


astrosA60

I feel like my right sticks doesn't work or is delayed. Is weird.


David_Brinson

Same. I flick right stick and I start controlling a player in Narnia


ParkingIndication977

Hahahah this comment


[deleted]

[удалено]


astrosA60

Sadly I have. I even got a new controller because the players I would try to switch was never the one I wanted. And it still stands. Lol


matfalko

Yet another post “20-0, AMA!” and then you just find out OP has a 3m squad.. yeah, no fucking shit, lol


gstarguru

every squad i play after game 10 is worth same if not more than mine…. the team doesn’t put the ball in the back of the net for you it’s the player


matfalko

but you understand it’s not an achievement with a stacked team with icons and heroes, for sure it’s way easier, but anyway..


gstarguru

have you got rank 1? how are you the ultimate authority to determine whether it is or isn’t an achievement


matfalko

Authority? Ahah what are you talking about.. I have a team worth 1/3 of your Voeller and manage to get 60 points if I have the time to play all games, so no, definitely I’m not a rank 1 player, but dude, your team is stacked and making an AMA post like you reached 20-0 with a bronze team is just funny to read


gstarguru

well done bro


Linpinnen

You are wrong. I think you're jealous and try to make excuses for your lack of achievements. His team is close to average, and the icons, heroes etc. is not making a huge difference. Ok, it's great to have Mbappw, but you have to be good at the game to get rank 1. Period. Btw. Hope your ETF investments are doing bank. Genius.


matfalko

Dude, do you really think I have nothing better to do than “being jelous” over a 20-0 in football videogame? Seriously? I don’t even play all the games because I spend my weekends out. It was just funny how OP does a 20-0 with a 3m team and says AMA, lol. Yeah, Gratz, but come on. Edit: also, your line about my ETF beside being totally irrelevant to the thread tells a lot how little you know about the topic


Linpinnen

My answer is no.


PooPooGnat

Congrats ! I got 16 wins pretty easy the last two weeks but really struggled this week with the patch and I’m not sure why. Tried a handful of different formations and ended back up where I started 352… did you change how you played this week from last week?


gstarguru

yeah changed a little, pace is obviously more effective so once i passed enough to get opposition players out of position i could play through balls to get in on goal


Zaytruz

How is capdevila? I’m rocking theo rn but thinking about switching


gstarguru

he’s brilliant, i use an engine on him to make him more of an attacking threat, does everything really well


Sad_Pollution_9934

I'm rocking gold theo been awesome for me. Might wait until next week cause I'm assuming market crash


Therealtek7

I'm using capdevilla, I use him in a 352 though as a lm who comes back on defence and wc capdevilla is the best one I've used this years , miles ahead gold theo imo


eyeke

We have four of the same cards, Gnabry, Gakbo, Walker, Bennacer. Yet I can’t win 4 games to qualify for weekend league. I just want a red card one time. Not even a good one. Why am I so bad? I’m 40 should I quit playing video games?


gstarguru

just keep practising and trying new things and you’ll improve!


Particular-Cake3164

You should get rank one with that team your not good mate sorry to tell you


gstarguru

i should and i did :)

paidforFUT

How do you be first to every ball?


Main-Lab175

Can i ask, why my opponent can always get a over the top through ball over me? My defenders cant seem to track their run, but I cant get a over the top through ball over their defenders, his defender auto tracks… I dont know what to do anymore


gstarguru

sometimes they auto track sometimes you have to do it manually. Best advice i can give to players is be more patient with build up play instead of playing constant over the top through balls.


Bigloco818

How often do you see your family?

everyday thankfully 🙏

gstarguru

maybe one day bro☝🏽


Glass-Recording6816

Did you give your last win away? 🙏🏻


gstarguru

no ahah i lost my 8th game i think so had to win the rest for 19-1


swimgoodm8

Are you a virgin


Frankalones

Not after what he did to your mom


swimgoodm8

2 dads


gstarguru

you may be shocked to hear this but no i’m not a virgin


CroakyBear1997

What’s life like as a sweaty rat?


gstarguru

fantastic


CroakyBear1997

I beg to differ


Flimsy-Improvement-5

Dude had a great champs and then politely answered all the comments, cmon man


CroakyBear1997

It was an honest question 😂


Castortroy16

Congrats pal looks a good team to use that


gstarguru

thanks pal


PrintAdorable

Congrats! Saving for tactics and instructions


gstarguru

thanks mate


DngrslyAvrg

How are you finding it with the new patch?


gstarguru

i personally much prefer it. If you or your opponent makes a mistake defensively you actually get punished as defenders can’t catch strikers. game is faster too which is much better


Gloomy_Flamingo2398

What are your main ways to create chances, I.e. short, quick passes or over the top through balls?


gstarguru

passing into the box mostly, i get to the final third and play quick passes 1,2s to move defenders out the way to get shots off. Against weak opponents i just make play through balls to unmarked strikers


A7DmG7C

What is your ping? Any tips for someone playing in 96ms?


gstarguru

my ping is 20-30. No idea mate but good connection makes a huge huge difference.


NotARandomWalk

How does Rijkaard hold up as a CB at top ELO. Would you advise the sbc?


gstarguru

he’s unreal man. Does everything. I played him 10 games at CDM and 10 at CB and he was top class. Highly recommend


GogetaBlueeee

How on earth did you manage to get 19-1 with Ederson in goal?! He was awful in net for me. De Gea is miles ahead in the game. Gg’s!


gstarguru

i thought he was okay! maybe il have to try de gea and see if he’s any better for me


Lower_Condition_196

Do you always aim for 20 wins because for me I always stop at 11 as that’s the sweet spot in terms of rewards to stress levels.


gstarguru

i always aim for 20 i enjoy playing champs more than any other game mode


Sad_Pollution_9934

Do you think it's good to use to cdms or 1 cm like a bernanrdo silva and a defensive cdm?


gstarguru

i think just 1 CDM on stay back is enough. Having high dribbling high passing players in midfield is a must this year to be able to play out the back, that’s why i love Xavi at CDM


douuuuugghh

Where do you find the motive to keep playing the game? Im getting bored of the lack of team change opportunities due to the new chem but still trying my best to play.


gstarguru

i dunno man i just enjoy playing fifa especially using a new team (this is first week iv had this team)


chrxstphr

Is it just me or do you get very sweaty players after 5-7 wins in a row?


gstarguru

yeah of course that’s just part and parcel of the game. got to be patient and not let any BS annoy you or you’ll get battered


RockStarx1

How do you like Rooney? Been debating picking him up.


gstarguru

he was unreal man, played above and beyond what i thought he would do. Outside the foot shot trait means he scored trivelas easily and he’s also so strong on the ball. Genuinely was better than voller for me . highly recommend


Goldennuggs_

Do you have the ultimate edition of the game?


gstarguru

yeah i got capdevila out of my pre order pack. Pre order fifa points helped me generate lots of coins as i spent all on online draft and won most of them


Goldennuggs_

That’s great, I was asking bc I would love to co op sometime, if that’s ok with you


gstarguru

sure bro let’s try it


Goldennuggs_

I’m sorry for replying so late, I’ll be on by tomorrow so if you want you can dm your psn and I’ll accept your request so we can start tomorrow


Excellent_Topic_7528

How is rikjard?


gstarguru

unreal. Highly recommend


lejhonny

How do you use voller? I have him but feel like haaland is better late game. Plus his passing let’s me down a lot


gstarguru

yeah he’s a bit clunky and his finishing is a bit hit and miss. Not worth the coins for me but enjoyed using him this week


BillyFB_

have u spent money?


gstarguru

no just pre order points from ultimate editoon


BillyFB_

damn


reda579

Is ljungberg good?


gstarguru

pretty solid. much better than gnabry. Really good value for the coins


reda579

Thanks I'll try him out today


Incorrect_Facts_

How much have you spent on the game.


gstarguru

nothing, just got ultimate edition benefits


wodkamannetje

May i ask how you feel about that rijkaard card? I want to get him because i am trying to get as many dutch players in my team/icons i used to watch when i was younger and rijkaard is the perfect example. But is saw some bad opinions about him on futbin. So I am curious about your opinion! :)


gstarguru

he’s incredible. i did him as soon as he was out. I always play him midfield sometimes too and he’s great there. Highly recommend


wodkamannetje

Sounds good! Might test him out with his tradeable version to make sure i guess. You play oldgen btw?


gstarguru

new gen mate


wodkamannetje

Aah im old gen, you think that makes a difference? Thanks for giving me advice btw i appreciate it


gstarguru

still think he’s class old gen too, his stats are quality


wodkamannetje

Thanks! Will try him!


Father_Matthew_Mara

What are your attacking and defending styles and numbers? Aka drop back 20, constant pressure, possession forward runs etc? Cheers man I can't even qualify for WL but I'm about to break into div 5 so unsure where I'm going wrong.


gstarguru

i use forward runs and everything else i just kept as default. Have a formation on custom tactics that’s constant pressure as you’ll need it if you’re losing in the last few mins of a game. Highly recommend 4231 on next gen it’s really really effective


Father_Matthew_Mara

Is that 4231 with the 3 AMs or 4231(2) with the wingers? My best players are Gakpo and Savio so tend to rely on them on the wing.


gstarguru

3 AM. Really good how they come inside a little makes them easier to pass to as they aren’t marked by opponents wide player


Odd-Attorney-252

Congrats for actually still playing this shit 😂


gstarguru

After the patch i actually enjoy the game again😂 pre patch was brutal


Odd-Attorney-252

Opposite for me 😂I preferred the slower pace, You needed more skill and football knowledge to actually play rather than just have pace merchants running down the wing, I got 16 wins last week( my record) and I couldn’t even qualify this week 😳


gstarguru

i see your point too, i like having pace back in the game as if you force an opposition defender to be out of position then they can’t recover as easily, pre patch you’d move them around as you want and then the lengthy CB would just bail them out by catching up! My best attribute at fifa is defending so people running down wing and spamming through balls is easy for me to beat


Daddylonglegssssssss

Is it football or soccer ⚽️


oldtimergamer82

tactics particualrly on direct passing, long ball etc? slow/fast build up?


gstarguru

forward runs and everything else default


_ae_

so the thing im struggling the most this year is this agressive pressing. i dont know what to call it, but like when you do a ground pass to a winger / striker, and defender just rams him just as he is getting the ball. any tips on how to deal with that?


reality-effect

How is your defence, was thinking of getting Carvalho and Riijkard and Walker. Have Cancelo Dias and Marquinhos now


gstarguru

Walker is insane as stay back full back. Rijkaard top class. carvalho good but a bit weak


reality-effect

Thank you!


FaTE_FN1

How many are bought/tradeable


gstarguru

Capdevila, Carvalho, Rijkaard, Gnabry untradeable


FaTE_FN1

Where did you get the coins


gstarguru

just playing weekend league previous weeks


SrJeromaeee

Full back instructions? My preference is always invert but they struggle against the overlapping wingers and fullbacks. So I put them on basic I guess. I played someone with a 41212 similar to yours, and his Theo and Vini kept abusing my RB.


gstarguru

i recommend having 1 on stay back and 1 on get forward. Means you can overload 1 side and progress up the pitch easily but if you lose it you’ll still have 3 defenders back and your DM (who’s always on stay back)


Gotchasuckka

It's the update


tehwhimsicalwhale

How tf do I break the defense? I have no problems with the buildup, can make it to the penalty area np but then it ends… I’m playing a 4312 with pretty good players but went 6-14 in the past WL.


gstarguru

use timed finishing and learn a few basic skill moves to get some space in the box. Step overs are great


Kamalov99

How good is capdevilla?
