The new ball physics are pretty tits, scored a tasty outside the foot 25 yarder with Mkhitaryan last night...

And yes...the ball sounds are pleasingly amplified.

So I just got from division ten to division one in h2h seasons without a single failed promotion, and 8 of them were division titles. If I can win Div1 on my first try I'm gonna pat myself on the back super loving hard.

Record is like 55 wins 12 draws 8 losses.



All this on 2013 obviously, but I gotta get in shape for 14.

yeah but what team/teams are you using?

Nice of them to start you off with a full squad so you can play right away...too bad you can't sell them :(

RPL looking to be cheap as hell this year...looking forward to owning bones with a front three of Doumbia, Dzyuba/Kokorin, and Honda.

I'm pissed Bruno Alves went to Fener. They moved Hubocan to LB as well. Now Boccetti is the only decent CB in the Russian League.

I'm going to try to use Corluka and Neto as my Bruno replacements. Douglas also looks pretty beastly.

I've also been playin FUT since 11 and have opened probably somewhere in the region of 50+ premium packs, all through match coins/division wins and whatnot. In that time i have pulled a Casillas, Balotelli and Walcott....it is a total crap shoot.

Agreed, I just want to be able to whip someone on skill alone and I can't be bothered to trade a shitload of coins for the best players and work out the best ways to exploit the system. Seasons it will be for me.

The thing is....you can still do this with a mediocre squad because the amount of lovely players in FUT is on a much larger scale than Seasons.

My RPL squad is basically complete: http://www.futhead.com/14/squads/542024/

Honestly like Wakaso better at LM then Gonzalez this year and Cisse is pretty interchangeable with Kokorin as the second striker for now. Still need to get a grasp on how to work this chemistry card voodoo to get the most out of these guys.

Injuries are a LOT more prominent this year, definitely prudent to have a deep squad assembled.

I'm actually having a horrible time with assisted through balls, i think i'll have to switch to semi-assisted, i'm too much of a baby for full manual.

It's mostly the ones were i just want to drop a ball into space for a lagging man to run on to.

Finally figured out the proper formation for the RPL this year, 3-4-1-2.

The trio of Witsel, Honda and Costa is fantastic...haven't lost a game with this configuration yet.

IIRC only one player is not in position (LW in a CM position), and I have a Russian Manager - I just looked it's at like 89%, so I'm an idiot. They're pretty boss for being "nobodies" (sans Honda).

Who are the best RPL strikers and forwards? Seems like the same 5-6 players are all that come up in the simple search of the market, but that there are tons of guys who have stats all in the 70s-85s and cost 400 coin.

Already got Honda, but apparently somebody else on my squad has ever better free kick/bend stats? Honda was ridiculous in 13, so seeing two players with 90+ ability on corners and free kicks is just awesome.

I rotate Kokorin, Doumbia, Rondon and Cisse up front. Wakaso is a GREAT super cheap LM and if you aren't using Ansaildi at LB you are missing out.

This is my squad for reference: http://www.futhead.com/14/squads/1105702/

Also, don't get why you have 89% chemistry with only one player out of position....why the gently caress are you playing a wing as a CM though?! So many good cheap CMs in RPL, fix that poo poo.

What's the strategy for just starting FUT and working up with limited coins. I've got my starting crap players and some coins. Obviously play games to get more coins, but when I get them is my best bet just to buy good players one at a time or get packs and hope for good players to plug in (and what kind of packs)?

never ever buy packs to actually build up your squad

the market is already pretty saturated and you can get a pretty good squad(depending on what league you use) for discard prices

Excellent, I'm already doing that. I have 2 squads, a Russian league squad and a French national squad. The French players are better, but they don't have the magical McGeady crosses it to Traoré goal button so they're my 2nd choice. Is Hulk worth it for a Russian league side that just cheeses headers?
http://www.futhead.com/14/squads/2229029/ Is there any other obvious upgrade? Other than Hulk they're all cheap.

Speaking of, there's a 2k coin tournament that only requires a few Russian league players that goes for another day. It's only professional level so it's easy cash.

I have been running this squad http://www.futhead.com/14/squads/1105702/, Costa and Witsel are too good not to use together.

If you don't want to upgrade to Danny on LM, i'd try Wakaso, incredibly strength, Gonzalez is too easy to bump off the ball this year.

And i would say Hulk is definitely worth it, he is impossible to bump off the ball and i have scored some insane long shots with him cutting in from the wing. He can also be had for under 20k these days.
