Your players can only play a certain amount of games before their contracts run out and you must use a new one.

Cheers you don't lose the player then?

Nope

Trying to find a relatively cheap gold team I can build, so little value out in the market right now though.

Serie A is great value mate.

Maxi Moralez, CF for Atalanta, is an absolute joy on this. Can pick him up for about 700 as well. Was playing him off Palacio until I upgraded to Tevez.

Cheers mate, will have a look.

[Scouserpool]

Is it possible to adjust team tactics/have a custom tactic as in regular Fifa in Ultimate team?

[Lucas21]

Spent 7,500 UT coins on a Gold pack. Got John Terry, Johnny Evans and Martin O Neill, a Stoke jersey and Upton Park and a few fitness packs.

Fucking shite

[Teapot]

what time is team of the week confirmed?

[Caston]

what time is team of the week confirmed?

Normally 3pm isn't it?

Expecting Tevez, Neymar and maybe Messi. Will definitely open a few packs

Yeah I noticed you could in game on the pause menu but not sure whether this can be done pre-game but I assume it can

Ok, maybe I have to make a custom tactic offline and then assign it to the D-pad as a quick tactic or something.

Keen to build a strong Seria A based Team, I normally prefer players with speed, especially on the wings, anyone make any recommendations?

I saw above Maxi Moralez mentioned, Tevez will be a shoe in of course at some point price depending but any other recommendations, especially for a back line and keeps.

Iturbe RW is good and cheap - quick and a decent dribbler, left-footed so cuts in well to shoot.

Barzagli CB.

[Working Class Hen-Pecked Hero]

Gonna make a series A team as well this year, gonna miss Benatia though having him CB was basically cheating the past 2 years

I know Neymar got a hattrick, but dyou think he'll get a SIF so soon after his IF?

Good point, leaning more towards just Messi then.

[Caston]

[Teapot]

shocked not to see neymar on the list.

[Caston]

Only because he only recently got an Inform, otherwise he would have

[El_Capitán]

NIF Tevez should rise a bit then, bought at the right time.

[Redman0151]

Just spent a fiver and got Costa + Clichy

There's all my luck used up for the year

[koppitekop11]

Got a PL team and Serie A team going at the minute. PL pretty shit but Serie A team is class to play with and cost considerably less than the PL.

Like others have said above, Moralez is boss on this. Squad below has Hamsik in but regularly swap between him and Moralez without noticing too much of a difference.

[Working Class Hen-Pecked Hero]

How many coins that cost you roughly mate? That's near exact to the team I have as my concept

[Drinks Sangria]

Onto the Serie A debate, my main team is a Serie A side.

Handanovic - Pretty damn good. Saved me so many times and solid with all the basics. Can't complain.

Chiellini - Meh. He's ok but it always seems to be him out of position.

Konko- Shit. Can't defend and Fifa's infuriating switching system under a high ball punishes him.

Barzagli - Immense, easily the superior out of him and Chiellini.

Ghoulam - Decent enough.

Vidal - Awesome. Can score from anywhere and is strong and a good passer. Expensive though.

De Rossi - Not bad, does the job.

Hernanes -Very good. Good shooting and passing. I actually tried both Guarin and Strootman and was unimpressed by both. Hernanes is far better.

Cuadrado - Candreva was ok, but I upgraded to Cuadrado and he's awesome. Before, it felt like Tevez was my only threat high up the field but Cuadrado's so quick and agile that you can just sprint through players, keeping control and twisting and turning. Weak, but a great card overall.

El Shaarawy - Pretty good. Long for the days of his 2013 silver though. Good finesse shooter and dribbler.

Tevez - Amazing. He's been getting a lot of praise and rightly so. I've been using him as a CF and he's a great shooter, dribbler and is strong and quick too. Worth the expense.

Built myself a backup Turkish league side and Inan is a nice surprise and Sneijder is brilliant, wish I could shoehorn him into my Serie A team. The rest are pretty poor and Eboue is unspeakably shit. Ba is poor too.

Going through the process of building a La Liga side, going to consist of - Pedro/ Griezmann (Anyone who can give an opinion on either would be helping me out), Cerci, Vela, Modric, IF Rakitic, Busquets, Miranda, Pepe, Carvajal, Coentrao, Ter Stegen. Hopefully it'll play well. Not touching the Premier League whilst the market is in such a state.

[Kuytinho]

Just sprinting in straight lines is so over powered on this. Everybody just seems to run at me. They're not getting much luck in terms of goals but they can comfortably take it past my whole midfield. Second player press is so ineffective. Even the worst folk can cause havoc from kick off.

I've just won division 9 with my record standing at 9-0-0. My team as it stands:

Benaglio; Schmelzer, Santana, Sokratis, Grosskreutz; Rode, Castro, Behrami; Son, Olic, Sam

I'll likely get slapped in the higher divisions if I don't improve upon that soon. That said, Son is pretty good and Olic scores for fun. I'm pleased with the defence now, too. Would definitely advise the Bundesliga is a decent place to start. The average price of my front 6 must be about 600 coins. Throw Gotze and Gundogan into midfield and I'd probably give any side a good game. I'll be looking to add the likes of Kevin Prince Boateng, Luiz Gustavo and Firmino shortly.

The injuries seem a lot more regular than previously and I'm fed up of buying fitness boosts. I'll be straight to Serie A for a second team once I have Tevez money.

[Working Class Hen-Pecked Hero]

Decided on a Dutch national Eridivisie side instead, only real big players would Be van Persie or Robben. Enjoyed my Belgian team last year so think this will be the direction I'll be going

[Teapot]

i really need a second team, cant decide on one, would love a wee fun team to use. i read depay is decent and fun to play with. just cant decide hehe

[Drinks Sangria]

On the subject of Depay, been using him in this back-up side. He is fun to use, although Narsingh on the other wing is terrible. Only built the side because I packed IF Klaasen last night. Was hoping for Messi or Tevez. Even Dzeko would have been nice. Sounds bad to complain about an IF but he's worth discard price. IF Maher is deadly from long range. Locadia is pretty shit up front with no stand out attributes, but I don't want to splurge on Van Persie when it's basically a fitness team. Might see if Huntelaar is any good.

Apologies for tininess, I couldn't get it too a proper size without it being too large for the upload.

[Teapot]

cheers Drinks Sangria, must give depay a run out. i want to build a team with a few skillers with that bit of pace, plus a decent wee striker wouldnt go a miss. im a wee bit scared to spend a lot of my coinage on a team at the minute as a patch is apparently due out soon, its meant to fix the shooting and a few other issues. i dont want them nerfing my teams with updates so i want to get a good look at the patch first. a wee cheap team will do for now

Agreed, and I think the annual pre-Christmas market crash is on it's way soon, so I've sold everything that I think will be subject to a big drop in price soon or just won't hold any value. Sold Rakitic for 65,000 after paying only 43,000 two days ago! What happened? The market is going crazy and I think it'll plummet within the next fortnight.

Sold my good Serie A team too. As good as they were, both Tevez and Vidal were sitting at around 20k more than I bought them for, so it's time to cash in and resign them when the market levels somewhat. Tevez was an 18k acquisition prior to the game's launch and I sold him today for 47k. Vidal I paid 19.5k and I just got 30k for him. I reckon that Serie A team made me 70k profit all told, and I got good use out of them. I'll be using my Dutch-Mexican League hybrid for the time being and maybe dabbling with Bronze teams.

Sitting on 400k with around 50k's worth of stuff to sell. When the market has settled, I'm thinking about ploughing it all into one team. I've been using the Messi loan I got for preorder and my god. He's amazing. Defenders literally cannot get near him and his shooting is impeccable. Shame he's over a million because he's utterly fantastic. A false nine side with him, Ronaldo and Bale in it would be unstoppable.

You can thank some of us over on the EA forum for that 

[Teapot]

messi could be the final piece of my team, ive been trying to find that perfect striker to fit in with ronaldo and robben, from what ive been reading messi is meant to be unreal this time round, may just keep saving until i get him.

i packed IF rakitic the other day so i might just try and cash in on him as well. ill never use him.

yea theres definitely price drops happening / coming. cant see ronaldo dropping so i will just hang on to him.

[Humperdinck]

Came across my first pass button basher earlier, christ even in winning I wanted to smash my room, controller and xbox up by the end. Tedious as fuck.

[Kuytinho]

4 goals up and my internet decides to momentarily pack up. There really should be a system in place to disregard a result if you disconnect and are winning like that.

[El_Capitán]

Managed to hit 600k trade profit last night. Reckon I keep going to aim for Ronaldo/Messi or go for Bale now?

[SimplyRed91]

How do you do it? Like how do you manage to find the value in players, who to buy knowing you'l make profit etc?

[El_Capitán]

There's a few different trade methods. The 3 I use are:

1) Learn the market. Pick 2 or 3 players and learn how much they're going for at peak times. Then, at off peak times, buy up any that will get you a profit (taking into account the 5% selling tax).

2) In Form predicting. Look at the results after the weekends matches and see who you think might get an IF card. The ones that do usually rise in price for the week. E.g. I got Tevez for 43k on Tuesday. He got an IF on Wednesday and now his NIF price is over 60k.

3) IF trading. IF prices can rise after they go out of packs. Buy them at he end of the week they're out for (when they're cheapest) then hold on to them until they rise. Got to be careful though as the player getting a SIF can screw this up.

Trying to use the web app or phone version and when I log into my origin account it says a copy of FIFA 15 isn't ascociated with this account. Anyone had this issue before or know how to fix it?
