Do you mean people selling their cards for real money? Because premium gold packs sure aren't the answer as usual. A little ashamed to admit I spent $10 on fifa points because I got such a good price on the game and I didn't get one player over 81.

Or is there a duplicating glitch like there seems to be every year

People buying coins with money or spending poo poo loads on fifa points. Look at Nepenthez on youtube, he has spent thousands upon thousands on fifa points this year and has a video showing him with the highest value club in the game. I'm pretty sure he said he now has every single gold player in the game excluding some in forms

Some of the more prolific youtubers also get top cards from EA as the videos are good free publicity for them.

Slow Friday, so I was on futhead just sorting by attributes, saw a couple interesting ones on top of certain categories

Pepe - Highest aggression rating lol

Falcao - Heading accuracy. I don't watch a lot of Monaco/Porto, is he really the world's most accurate header of the ball?

Rickie Lambert - Penalties, has he missed one yet?

Thomas Müller - Positioning, what else?

Yaya Toure - Highest total stats, barring his sluggish form at times this year, makes sense he's the most well-rounded

Highest shot power rating (99 on his IF) is some guy named Ronny from Hertha BSC in the Bundesliga. Never heard of him. Does he really kick harder than Ronaldo or Zlatan?

When EA do silver/bronze in forms they like to give them 1 ridiculous stat

edit: actually his regular card has like 96 shot power so yeah I guess he's the Adriano from PES days

Man I am utter poo poo at this game. Been playing on semi-pro since I can manage 8-1 scores on amateur, but I just lost three straight to the TOTW on semi-pro, with Robben scoring a brace against me in each. That gif a few pages back of all the defenders just running around and falling down is totally me trying to stop anyone. Admittedly I haven't played any version of FIFA since World Cup 98, but still.

Oooph, that's pretty bad.

You should be able to walk through a defense on semi-pro every time.

Use manual switching, jockey and team contain.

Ask me about Game Pass: the Best Deal in Gaming!
They ruined defending it's part of the reason Palacio is so good. Weak players can get past defenses too easily this year, push pull does nothing to them. You used to have to be skillful and smart for weak players to be really useful. As a testament to how weak players can just run through poo poo with the dumb dribbling and defending, I've seen Sau in teams about 15 times now and I saw him once all last year. Someone made the same comment last year about how they never saw Llorente until 14 when they hosed up headers. I don't know why they don't test multiplayer more thoroughly and let rear end in a top hat div 1 12 yr olds find all the exploits and problem points before they launch. Running at goal from kickoff is still a viable strategy even against people who know its coming. You just need a player with 85+ pace. I recieved a good xbox live message the other day that I just saw that sums up my experience "i hate this gme".

Most likely not, they usually stick to what the players do for their clubs in league play.

/\/\/\ Yeah, he's definitely one of the best headers of the ball, if not the best. His accuracy and especially jump timing have been unbelievable.

Some quick questions from someone new to UT:

Do substitutions count as a used contract?

How much fitness should I be worried about a player's fitness level pre-game? And is it more efficient to apply a +fitness booster or just sub him for another player?

Like 80 I guess, I think tired players are more prone to injury. Don't waste your money on fitness cards though, make an investment in another cheap squad and make your primary squad substitutes and they'll be rested after you play a game.

Yeah they are SHOCKINGLY bad sometimes. The whole defense in general is broken and they won't fix it until next year... too much coding effort for this window.. chalk it up as a work in progress for next season.

We will get our every other month update that fixes minor issues that are easy to code and of course mainly focus on UT.

Ha, I had the exact same thing happen to me yesterday. Luckily it happened in the 43rd minute and it was fixed after half time. Pretty funny to watch your player run repeatedly into those boards trying to get the ball. Well, for 5 seconds at least.

Could you please post it please? Since I've been focusing on Serie A last few years I'm always open to discover new players from Serie A. For example, I barely used Hamsik on 14 but on 15 is my main CAM or Hernanes being an insanely good FK taker (I always try to have on my starting 11 Hernanes, Honda or Pirlo).

No, all your players get a certain amount of games then they need a new contract. Once your loan games are up that player is gone, there are no extensions.

The FUT games go up in difficulty as you go up in seasons level/higher level tournaments. You can check the difficulty for each game in a single player season if you look at the fixture list.
