Legendary squad battles. It's always fun to work hard to get a lead and then you concede from a 'through the foot, no-look, ninety degree angle chipped through ball into a control with one foot finesse volley with the other into the top corner' goal. You know, the ones where you have so much opportunity to defend against and don't break the laws of physics.

5 out of 5 from squad battles on day 1! Considering I had 2 wins this time last week, I hope to be pushing for those Elite 2 prizes this week.

I had one over the weekend where I was 1-0 up, my goalie caught a cross and was pushed out of play by one of their players. They score from the corner and then win in extra time.

That's probably my best squad as I've got some loan players within my La Liga team. My Serie A team is pretty good too!

Did the Ultimate Scream SBC and got Ribery

Which players did you use to create that? 

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Falcao (who I packed from my SB rewards today), Fabinho, Ben Arfa, Icardi, Valero, Banega, Mussachio, Kolarov, Burki, Toprak, Piszczek. Most of them I'd packed at some point, Icardi and Toprak set me back 9000 between them but it paid off.

[Baddar]

Fuck sake. There's you packing Falcao from rewards and I'm getting Lee Cattermole.

You just cant teach that

Can't be bothered with Squad Battles this week. I'm out Wednesday and Friday already and don't know what my weekend plans are yet, so I've already lost a minimum of two days.

I had a lot of those players so i've followed suit. 

GK: Rulli
DR: Coleman
DC: Mascherano
DC: Mussachio
DL: Radu
CDM: N'Zonzi
CDM: Banega
CAM: Valero
CAM: Ben Arfa
ST: Icardi
ST: Falcao

 

I got Lars Bender....Could have been better

[Baddar]

Treated myself to Carrasco 85 with my squad battles prize. Got 225k sitting in the kitty now, but I'm determined to hold on to as much of it as possible. The likes of Godin, Casemiro and Kroos are all a bit pricey at the moment and will drop within a few weeks I reckon.

I've packed Sane and a grand total of fuck all. I did two of the SBC for Rui Costa without realising how expensive the others will be - I just can't make money like you lot do, but still ticking along with a Portugese league / Portugal team with a few extra players (like Sane) thrown in. 

[Gazz]

All of my money came from Pogba, Lloris and Jesus. That was at least 600k just from pure luck.

[Baddar]

9/9 following today's SB's, and I'm in Elite 1 for now!

But fucking hell, the AI were determined to screw me over in the last match, as illustrated.

My nephew convinced me to spend 36k on the Daniel Wass IF 83 card. Worth every coin so far.

[Gazz]

Bloody Jimmy and his crossing. No one crosses on Fifa you mug.

[Jimmy]

Hahah, gotta play to my strengths, ain't I? 

[Gazz]

You'd think given I've got Bonucci (88), Barzagli (85) and Benatia (84), they'd be able to deal with crosses but they prefer running around like headless chickens.

Haha, I know. Also, the amount of times when I'm playing all I need Bas Dost to do is get into the box to get onto the end of a cross - and just won't get into a good position. IT's a weird mash up of a team I've got, but it seemed to work alright.
