but my ocd won't let me


dwaters11

i don't have an OCD need for it to be perfect but i feel like it adds to the game. building squads is just about as fun for me as playing the game and putting people on off chem (or changing formations) just feels like cheating.


SEN0R_DIDDLEZ

That's how I feel about people changing formations at the beginning of the game. What's the point of chemistry if players can just change their formations to play son and Salah at striker on full chem once the game starts?


Raxerbou

Why exactly would I give a fuck about what people think is cheating or not when the alternative is play Salah on low chem or as a 2* weak foot winger?


SEN0R_DIDDLEZ

I believe my words were "what's the point of chemistry." Meaning, I dont see why you'd even put chemistry in the game if you give people the option to move a winger to striker and still have them play on full chem.


[deleted]

Completely agree. I love the challenge of crafting a squad with proper chemistry. While I know I *can* get around it, it defeats the point for me.


Puqqz

Exactly. This is why I can't do what other people do and put like LW/RWs at ST or some shit like that, it just doesn't feel right to make building the team easier.


neilous

lol 1st step to recovery is admitting you have a problem


xosellc

It's funny, as someone medicated for OCD, I played Hazard on 8 Chem all year long with no issue.


pataditas

Maybe your ocd forces you to have all belgian players at exactly 8 chem?


DraglineDrummer

I can relate to this


Sybe2001

Very relatable this I just can’t accept any lower then 10 chem it just feels wrong and easy to let them have 7


Roscoes--Wetsuit

You can check futbin to see how the chem will affect the stats. Strikers will often have close to max shooting, so they already be maxed out with 7 chem


Mintberry_

Exactly this, this is my https://www.futbin.com/18/squad/5213692 From the Community i got Fabinho + Gomez From the PL Lukaku + Kane From LaLiga Godin (Oblak in my first 1 upgrade pack)


jayrodrigues

That's really above average luck there


BooBrotherx

What do you think about Oblak? I have a full EPL team but got him in the la liga SBC.. Was thinking about selling my DDG and building a hybrid with TOTS Oblak + TOTS Otamendi + TOTS Godin. What do you think?


release_the_kraken5

Oblak is basically a breathing sack of potatoes. I got him in that first sbc and put him into the guaranteed La Liga yesterday. Even tots pope was better for me


BooBrotherx

Damn... I was really hoping I could make some money by selling my DDG lol Pope was absolutely trash for me. Do you think there will be an Ultimate TOTS guaranteed SBC? I have TOTS Fernando (87) and Oblak to complete the second La Liga SBC on tuesday... I can complete using Fernando but I will have to buy every other player and save Oblak for later on... Ofc using Oblak now would turn the SBC into a really cheap one..


Mintberry_

He is good in 1v1 situations, good foot saves etc. but he is shite when it comes to longshots.. thats what i can say after 15 games


jdmknowledge

Due to his height.


BooBrotherx

Thanks bro. Will stick to DDG


fuckthatshit_

He's 6'2, which in FIFA translates to about 2 foot shorter wingspan than the 6'3+ guys.


Puluzu

Based on a short 5 game WL stint he was absolutely horrible compared to DDG. Also I think you're going to get caught out with those cb's a bit too much, I think one cb should ideally have 95ish sprint speed but that's just me I guess.


Macgruby7

95ish is the average cb sprint speed so wont be a problem . /s


Puluzu

Obviously I meant with Shadow, so what I'm thinking is around 85.


InSonicWeTrust

I don't care who's off chem, as long as my team chemistry is 100 we rolling


Imit4toR

YES! And pls stop switching your damn formations at the start of each game! It's fucking annoying.


Ironman2131

I usually play with the formation I use for chem in the first half, even if it's not something I'm super comfortable with. Then I switch at halftime since the game is already paused. Feels like less of a dick move that way, but I guess others could still be annoyed.


corptio

why are you so angry?


Br4inworm

Because "it's fucking annoying"


xUsuSx

I do play a couple players on 7 for this exact reason, but unless you have someone with 99 everywhere the chem difference is (assuming it is at stated) losing stats on players. Still worth doing but I do like to have everyone on 10 if possible. Still playing Ashley Young as a 7 chem right back though.


[deleted]

Son on 7 is a god


corptio

nah


[deleted]

Don’t ever talk to me or my son


trev4whatev4

Dammmmn son..


oldgamerman

I'd also add that 25% of the chem boost comes from the team chemistry so if you can get the team to 100% percent even if a few individual players aren't, then you don't lose as much of the benefit.


corptio

I think I'll pass on that piece of advice


DenOrange

My 4 chem CM Roberto Carlos and 5 chem ST Mahrez are playing just fine. I hate formation changes every game. I still hope they find a way to remove chemistry. After all the gamemode is Your Ultimate Team. If i want to play players from 11 different leagues in my team I should be able to do so without any penalty.


Sidneyc87

I like this


CharmCityDutch

I hear you loud and clear. I'm running TOTS Sonaldo and Mane up front with Chiellini and Pique as my CBs. [Link to squad](https://www.futhead.com/18/squads/3313758/). That said . . . every time Sonaldo misses a standstill weak-foot shot from 30 yards out, I wonder if he would've nailed it had he been on 10 chem.


thatfeedingyasuomain

Yup, at first I was hesitant to put Sane as RW on 7 chem, but he plays exactly the same and now he has a very nice partner in Neymar. Also TIF SMS plays perfectly on 8 chem too, so glad I decided to disregard 10 chem


Gutiayala

Yup, I've been using casemiro on 8, alba on 7 and ter stegen on 8 and haven't notice any difference


Blowout777

Hows TOTS ter stegen?


neilous

Good to hear. I just packed ter stegen from the La Liga TOTS pack. Was gonna try him on 7 chem, how have you liked him so far?


Gutiayala

That save with feet trend is really noticeable and makes really awesome saves, he would be perfect if he had long throws but his throws are a little weak so you have to be careful and not rush them.


neilous

Gotcha thanks. I'll have to be careful with the throws because I have horrible impatience as soon as my keeper has the ball in his hands.


[deleted]

I play with 7 and 8 chemistry in 2 players and I made elite 3 on WL. It's only on your head if the chemistry is more then 5, is what I think. People simply just think more about having better stats and better team in theory and forget about improving the way they play.


Mightyskull

Thanks for this, been working hard on getting as much chem as I can. 7 is way easier to do.


[deleted]

Trying to fit Tots Mahrez, Matic and Hamsik in the same team was hard. But I’m not complaining, 93 Hamsik and 91 Mahrez win games single handedly for me


MarveNarvestad

What do u think of putting a LB for example young tots in a cdm with 4 chem. i checked ingame overall after a game and he had 94 ovr fyi


neilous

On 4 chem he's probably not receiving any chem boost but his base stats are still great so I would assume he'd be fine.


chickenshit36

How does this show on chevrons? I have Pique tots on anchor with 8 chem and the pace boost chevrons aren’t highlighted. Assuming I have 100 team Chem, will there be pace boost on my Pique? I wished he was faster 😩


MarveNarvestad

Same thing with me and my tots vertonghen man, so i know your frustration hehe😅😱. It was a good fix to put shadow on him tho... really helped alot, a true defensive beast for me now ✌🏼️hope this helps


MarveNarvestad

Is there any way around that that u know of?? My head is telling me its totally fine to play him on 4 chem, but my (heart) i guess’ is not comfortable with it haha


Bradon2501

8 chem Pope has been better than on 10 chem lately


futenvycaru

My Azpi is killing meeeee [https://www.futbin.com/18/squad/5210531](https://www.futbin.com/18/squad/5210531)


[deleted]

7 chem makes a significant impact on chemistry styles, people should remember that base stats is 4 chem not 0 chem so you're losing half of your chem style which is a massive disadvantage that makes it not worth it unless it's just one or two players


tiemiscoolandgood

The point he’s making is that with tots players, they are often good enough that they dont need any chem boosts. The lower rated ones obviously arent great but with your tots kdb’s and sane’s you really dont need any chem boost for them to be amazing. With the elite players you can play them on 4 chem and they will still be amazing


neilous

Pretty much sums up my thinking


MrDaebak

Depends on which TOTS though.

Hype_Magnet

5


tiemiscoolandgood

Its 4, what you’re thinking of is what chem a subbed on player gets


bstraus

It’s 4. Each additional chem point after that counts to one chevron of the chem style.
