Post yall main squads.

Respect for yall grinding to make the weekend league. game frustrates me too much to play 40 games over 3 days

I have two main squads that I just play every other game so I don't have to worry about fitness...

I play a 4-3-2-1

Dybala, Higuain and TOTW Salah (he's an absolute monster) up front. Marchision, Hamsik and Nainggolan in the midfield. Alex Sandro, Chiellinin, Bonucci, TOTW Florenzi (also an amazing card). Buffon in goal.

Other team is Griezmann, Lacazette and DiMaria up front. Ben Arfa, Matuidi and Diarra in the midfield. Kurzawa, Laporte, Umtiti and Ricardo Pereira in the back with Mandanda in goal.

On that weekend league grind again and off to a great start for my standards. Won 3 out of 4. Just had a guy rage quit after I went up 3-0 in like the 40th minute.

Made it to the premier league after starting out St the lowest level been a grind

Obviously the wins couldn't keep coming at that rate, I'm just not at that level. I dropped a couple losses that felt like games I should have won. I'm not 8 wins out of 15 games played. Hope I can keep this ratio, I'd like to finish Gold 2.

I'm 10-10 at the moment, and im gonna do some transfers as im not as good as the people I've been playing against. I been running an all english team and bench, got quality french pl players on the side like Martial and Kante, so I think im gonna do a bit of a hybrid team and pick up Lacazette Lucas, Matuidi and Ben Arfa. I been running the PL attack with Vardy, and hes been good but there's no other quality and affordable pl striker for the second game while Vardy rests. Of course Aguero would be ideal but i have not and will not put money in this game to get packs/coins.

Is FIFA 17 just another re skin or is it really good?

It's good, improved gameplay but I think the biggest thing that makes it great are the new additions to Ultimate Team. The Squad Building Challenges, FUT Champions, both make the game great.

That nikka lying. Game is just another updated roster with a few new wrinkles while they took shyt out. Game has built in button delay. Im talking even in skill games and offline gameplay controls are delayed. If you can get it for 25 or lower cop it but if nah

Went on a tear for my standards tonight in FUT Champions, I think I won 5 out of 6. I'm sitting on 21 wins (Gold 2) which 5 games to play, if I win 4 out of the 5 I can get Gold 1... Though it's unlikely I'll play all 5 of the games tomorrow morning. As it stands I'm at 62 wins for the month with 85 games left. 73 wins gets me Gold 3 for the monthly rewards. And if I can win 50 out of my next 85 (incredibly unlikely for me) I'll be Elite 3. I plan on at least getting to Gold 1 for the monthly rewards though.

Finished the weekend Gold 2 with 23 wins. Anyone else grinding FUT Champions? I love it, especially because of the rewards you earn. It's pretty much a certainty at this point that I'll end up Gold for the month too which is great.

I went a bit mad and sold my whole pl squad and built a ligue 1 top tier team. Got Lacazette, IF Braithwaite, Di Maria, Ben arfa, Matuidi, Pastore, IF Ruffier, Thiago Silva, IF Marquinhos, along with some other IF sidebacks. The team has been balling outta control, im playing a 433 (2) and Verraiti/Lass are doing great in the cdm role. I went 7-2 since i started with this team, im on 18 wins with 6 matches to go. I'm quite satisfied with gold 3, gold 2 tho

People always ignore/forget about Ligue 1 it seems like. It's been my go-to for the last couple years (though this year I'd say I like my Serie A team better). But Lacazette and Braithwaite are beasts in FIFA (that squad builder Fakir card looked ridiculous but I couldn't do the challenge at the time). You have that IF Pereira Portuguese right back? He's a beast. I've never loved playing with Veratti in FIFA but Diarra and Ben Arfa are monsters, same goes for Matuidi.

I saw the if portuguese rb but he was much more expensive so I picked up if 82 Corchia, got the lb blue totgs 83 sidibe, that defensive line is looking tough mate. Verrati is wild at cdm, he runs all over the place, reminds me alot like Kante, guess cdms gotta be short in 17 cuz they are in roles that cover a big part of the pitch and they're everywhere.

I really wanna know where i'll go from here. Are you running a hybrid? CuZ i think i can improve in some positions, depends how my pack luck is tbh

I'm not really running a hybrid. A straight Serie A team and I guess my mostly French team could be considered a bit of a hybrid. It's mostly French players with a couple Ligue 1 players (IF Pereira and Di Maria) I think there's room for improvement in this team but I haven't put a ton of thought into it.

Back on that weekend league grind. I'm off to a great start, 4 wins out of 5 games. I honestly feel like I should have won the game I lost, missed too many chances and ended up losing in extra time.
