Youth, whats your opinion on making a 3rd team out of players I already have in my Serie A and Prem teams? The chem would be virtually non existent as I'd probably try a different formation as well, however the overall rating of the team and quality throughout would be stronger. Think I might give it a go today. 3412 team is working out quite well too. Just got back into the online div 1 again with it. I concede a fair amount but I go ultra attacking from the start and am generally leading by half time. A few players have also quit games where I've been 3 or 4 nil up at half time.

Well he's either a) Bought coins/players from a seller b) Got really lucky in packs c) He's awesome trader

I'll go for option A....and he must have brought a lot.
I brought 300K and have a Prem team and a Serie A team only.
Each teams worth probably around 190K and I have 70K left which remain from my in game earnings ~ 150K
No way anyone can be that lucky buying packs... Trading maybe, but then dishonestly using 2 accounts.
Out of interest, do you lose all coins / teams in the new release of FIFA?
I plan to sell off both my teams in April / May and sell my coins on ebay at that time.

Does buying physios, stadiums, assistant managers do anything in FUT?
If so, how do you get additional staff assigned to a team?

Post by stokeyouth on Jan 17, 2013 4:55:52 GMT
Physio - When your player is injured, and you put a injury card on them then the physio will increase that card from say 1 game to 3 games. But no injuries online this year so no point ;D
Stadiums - Nothing apart from aesthetics. The better stadiums give higher morale to your players, but when your players are on max morale anyway it doesnt matter
Other stuff pretty much do fuck all.
The staff that increase heading/shooting/passing only do anything when you add a card onto your players, which nobody does.
And once they're in your club they take effect on every team.
Also why is using 2 accounts dishonest? I have 3 accounts that I trade on, hardly ever use all 3 though, sometimes spill into 2 if im trading a lot.
And yeah you do lose everything on the next FIFA. Thats the aim! Start from nothing/bronze pack and build your way up to an immense team. If they didnt restart then by FIFA15 every team would have Ronaldo and Messi in wouldnt they? ;D

Its dishonest because you can drive up the costs of the players by competing with someone who then pays more for your players.
Up to you obviously if you want to do that.
So do you think that if I sell my coins around April time that they'l still be demand for them?

Yeah but you have to sell them cheap. Last year 100k was about 3/4quid in summer after all the TOTY's have gone
If you sell them in April you'll miss TOTY Begovic and maybe a TOTY Shawcross!
And also what do you mean? How can you drive up the cost of the players? What players?! ;D

And also what do you mean? How can you drive up the cost of the players? What players?! ;D Well, if you log in (with a friend for example) on two separate accounts simultaneously, then you can sell with one account and bid on the players you're selling with another account. Let's say for example that you are selling a G.Bale. I got one for 55K because no one bothered to bid against me and I was willing to go up to 60K. If you were the seller and I bid 55K then you could easily use your other account to then bid 56K and keep raising until I end up bidding my limit or reaching the buy now price. You run the risk of winning your own players, but as long as you don't push it too far then you should always get decent rates for your players.

kris, you wanna buy 100K for a tender?
Am selling one of my teams at the moment and will be putting coins on eBay for trade shortly...unless you want to buy them.
My serie A team was only worth 100k actually, but just got bored of it so am selling it off. Think I made a mistake as I set all players as buy now a couple of K more than I paid but half of them sold off within 2 minutes. I probably should have checked the market rates as they've undoubtably gone up a bit.
Much prefer the 3412 formation. Just wiped someone out 9-2.

Plus you cant bid on a player/card from the same console. So you cant bid on your own player even if you had a different account You only have 40 slots in your trade pile, and when I'm trading loads I sometimes have 50-60 cards so need 2 accounts to sell on No dishonesty from me

Just looking at my FIFA12 'collection' I miss IF Ethers, best winger on the game. Flew past any full back, pin point crossing and his shooting was insane. Cameron for Houston, and then when he got transferred. Can remember his CB was like cheating. Pacey, strong, never lost a battle with a striker. My Prem team, that defence was immense and Carrick was the best defensive mid ever. Quality Back when IF's were actually worth it and had a big boost in stats Only used Messi for 11 online games, but he scored 34 goals. Used him vs mates quite a bit, but I regret waiting so long to buy him. Got him for 200k, doubt he'll drop that low this time. Bundesliga, this was a great team. Reus wasn't as good as this years but he was still quality. That was Kagawa's second IF and he was brilliant. MOTM Hummels at CB from the Euros, what a tank

Youth,
I don't buy IFs but is there any other benefit to having them other than having slightly better stats?
For example, why buy an IF player who's maybe gone up to an overall rating of 83, when you can get another player for a fifth of the price who's better with a rating of 86?
Still can't believe how cheap Marchisio is. He's one of my favourite players and is selling for around 2-3K now. When I first brought him the market rate was 14K.
and Youth, you've said on a few occasions that Terry is good. I have him in the centre of my defence and he's probably the worst CB I have. Far too slow and often gets outpaced with the lob pass.
My other CBs are Vermaelen, Agger, Ferdinand, Lescott and Kaboul.... How do rate Luiz vs that lot? Would you recommend swapping him with one of them?

This year IF's are horrible. They've put themup 1 rating and give them a small bump in stats.
Last year and the year before they were worth it. Example being Ethers had a +15 bump in shooting and you can feel it. He was a better finisher, better long shots, more power etc.
This year IF's are pointless.
Terry is good for me, I just pair him with a 65+pace defender like Kaboul and he's fine. Wins every header, gets last ditch blocks in and let Kaboul deal with pace.
Luiz was awful for me. High attack so he just wanders, never gets back

I have Wilshere, Yaya, Fellaini and Gerrard and thinking of replacing Gerrard.... Is there anyone in a similar price bracket that's better? I'd like to try Mata but he's more expensive and I'm not sure he'll win many headers with his height. Also, who are the best LMs / RMs in the Prem for less than 20K?

Post by stokeyouth on Jan 18, 2013 17:11:22 GMT
Mata? Not for CM, he'd be a little wasted there.
And not sure. Valencia is solid for me. Strong, good shooting and gets back to help out too. Strength is a big thing for me in wingers and he has over 80 strength I think.
LM I'd say Bale, but less than 20 I dunno. Young, Oxlade, Assaidi all good but wasted at LM rather than LW/LF

Not worth the coins.

Fucking David Luiz, can't be outmuscled, can't be outpaced, can't be beaten in the air (I'm sure his hair is counting as extra height). Played 3 games against people all with him, every game just him in the middle of a back 3 was rendering Ibrahimovic & Natale completely ineffective.
Got a Loic Remy in a pack for winning the league though, how the hell is he now selling for 50k? Madness.

Geoff Cameron was 30k last year for Stoke ;D Plus he's pacey with 4* skills. Also if you play Luiz, let him have possession cause Luiz will wander up with his high att, then counter.
