okay long post ahead.....
After months I made my return into the FUT arena. I had around 700K in coins (did trade/SBC challenges and was a coupe of time lucky with a pull). So I cleaned the club, transferred around 250K to the youngest who plays every day and focused on two teams, Eredivisie (of course) and Serie A. Started to play last week with the teams (without any TOTS) and boy that was hard! I am in division 8 ....
, but I had trouble defending against zig zag players, and even 'normal' playing gamers. I draw, lost, draw, lost, etc. 60% my own fault, I played like a noob. But being out there for a long time also opens your eyes on the problems the engine has. Very unfair game. And players that wander around in the field. I had my RW playing centre for no reason...
Although the result where unsatisfying, I started to play better and better, 92% passing accuracy is not bad of course but I am having troubles creating chances in the 4312 formation. A formation I played so long. Don't understand what I am doing wrong. The other formation I am using is 4231 (2) and I create more chances with this formation despite the fact that my striker sometimes feels isolated.
On Friday I invested my coins in eredivisie TOTS and a 84 rated El Shaarawy (don't know the name of that card). I played two more games, lost both but was playing much better, Especially defending went better. But.....due to all my losses I ended up with regulation to division 9....I feel NOOB now
but can care less
. Last game I got a red card, my sliding was on the ball from the side. No idea what happened there. Lost 4-2 (2 balls bounced back from my keeper right in the feet of his striker...) But at least TOTS Elia and MOTM Traore scored on their debut
Currently on business trip, but back in the saddle on Friday. Starting in division 9 and hoping on some better results.
FUT champions is a long way, may be next year. But I will keep you updated on my struggle
