I sold Sergio Ramos for 27K picked up buffon, pogba, gomez and vidal for my serie A squad.

Anyone run a 4-1-2-1-2? Thoughts?

I run a 4-1-2-1-2. I love the luxury of having two strikers. I usually have a strong physical striker with good headers and a pacey finesse striker. Best of both worlds. I feel like my attack is balanced this way. One defensive minded CDM, 2 pacey wingers on the RM/LM and a balanced CAM with good dribble, shot, and passing.

I feel like I can approach my attack in every way. Inside from my CDM to CAM or out at the wing with pacey RMs and LMs to spread my approach. Definitely my favorite and most comfortable formation in FUT.

Anyone got any tips to make coins in FUT? It seems like players values have significantly decreased this past few weeks. Should I buy players in bulk and sell in Feb?? First year playing FUT so I'm just figuring out how to trade properly.

People buy coins.

And 41212 in fut i use the one with 3 cm i use 1 def minded midfielder and 2 box to box like De Rossi, Vidal, and Guarin if Serie A
I like the 1 big 1 fast ST partnership tho Benteke and Sturridge is forever the GOAT partnership

 

[jewseejay]

u cant buy coins tho. Even if u spent thousands u wouldnt have 20 mill n transfer profits. Unless u had insane pack luck. I jus dont get it 21 plus mill n two.months? not bout that life

There are websites that sell coins

 

[sfn 155]

Not only can you buy coins, but people also have "auto buyer" programs for the web app. The more coins you have, the easier it is to make more profit. Look at the leaderboards. People make 40+ million in a week. Pretty much all of those people are cheaters, but there's quite a few of them.

 

[jewseejay]

Wow wish i knew bout the coin sites earlier. Spent 30 on packs much rather jus have 200k coins for my 30 bones

 

[bamez]

damn, ya'll doing microtransactions?  PASSS, not gonna spend any more money than i already have just to buy the damn game.  But then again, i only play seasons online.  

 

[jewseejay]

Lol its not alot of money breh. 10 Bucks a month wont kill ya.

Usually nights where im in n rather be doin summin where i woulda spent 10 bucks 5 times over so its whatever

 

[bamez]

10 bucks a month for 12 months (until fifa 15), you're okay with spending $180 on a sports game that comes out every year?

 

[jewseejay]

Ur reaching. Im alrdy playin the game way less. In a cpl months ill prob barely play it all. Lets say i put another 20 bucks in. Id get more enjoyment putta payin for this game twice over the course of 6 months than about anything else i woulda spent the $ on gamewise.

 

[illionaire]

Lol.

People spend money on in-game features all the time.

All those RPG, World of Warcraft-type games rinse people for even more money to get better items, etc.

Ultimate Team ain't any different.

You want the best players for your squads, you gotta put up more money.

 

[bamez]

All i'm saying is thats how they get you, "its only a few dollars" every time.  One dude on here posted that he spent ~$100 i think.  Just a little here and a little there.  Next thing you know, you spent X amount of money for an 11 man squad.

I guess its just not my thing, I remember when EA first introduced UT, it was $15.  Having it free for everyone, then charging microtransactions would get them tons more $$$ than a $15 fee to play.  

Every soccer game since UEFA 08 and FIFA 09 i've just played online ranked matches/seasons.  I tried UT, but like you said, if you want a decent team, you gotta spend money.  I'll stick to online seasons.

Add me on PSN for PS4 my friends.  PSN:  DOOOM_PhD

 

[tyonenine]

UT games are winnable with cheap players. I guess people want the stars though.

 

[tomdiginson]

Foolishness. You don't need to spend a dime to build a good team in UT. Hell, if you know what you're doing you can have a team full of stars.

 

[sfn 155]

Yeah it's pretty easy to make a lot from buying and selling. It can get time consuming though.

I made a spanish/spanish league team. Playing attack 4-3-3

Got David villa, Torres, Pedro Rodriguez
Sergio basquets, koke, modric in the middle
Jordi alba, Javier Mascherano, Sergio Ramos and Juan Fran
Got thibaut as my goalie

 

[dabottom305]

 

[nomadicsole21]

I ain't ashamed to admit I spent nearly $80 though. Best pull was IF Hazard and IF Pedro, 1 Aguero, 3 Suarez, a bunch of 15k-20k dudes with that $60 and $20 on season ticket.

First time playing FUT and I got pretty hooked Pro Clubs was a huge let down this year so me and my friends played less of it. I know it's pretty stupid to spend that money for a fake team but that's basically a night at the bar for me anyways. I've enjoyed it the few months so far.

 

[wings90]

You definitely don't have to spend money to build a solid team. It helps, obviously, but it's not a must.

The only time I buy FIFA points is when there's an absolutely insane IF card. 

 

[bamez]

I'm finally getting back in the groove.  Currently haven't loss in 10+ games, drew a couple times, but am more patient with the ball on both sides of the pitch.

Started playing with my buddies on pro clubs again too, party chat on PS4 is very appreciated, we used to have a conference call whenever we played.

Game is too fun! 

 

[nickle dime bay]

Can someone tell me when is the best time to buy packs? I bought several and the best i got was regular toure, lewandowski and kompany. I never get IF cards or whatever the colored ones are called

There really isn't a good time unless its double chance on Happy Hours. All about luck fam.

What you wanna do is learn how to trade the market and buy the players you want. Opening packs is all luck. This week is perfect since TOTY is released tmrw night. My advice is buy popular players for cheap and sell them when the prices rise up again.

The transfer market has been crashing since people have been anticipating the TOTY Players. People are gonna be opening packs in bulk this week and there will be tons of players to over flood the market. Great time to invest if you have coins sitting around.

 

[jewseejay]

Lol @ playing the market. Biggest waste of time imiginable. Rather spend a cpl bucks n have all my hours back. Its not worth it at all. Even if u triple up

 

[adobecs4]

As a RM fan, it's frustrating using them in Seasons. Marcelo is slow as hell and Sergio is always out of place. Lost 2-1 to Bayern Munich after my opponent scored on a cheesy header in the 89th minute. Took all I could not to toss everything off the 3rd story balcony :x
