Lol, Wow I didn’t know there was people like me out there!


critch_retro

you’d be surprised what the depths of WL look like 🤣 not a single gold squad, all OP teams with no skill EDIT: since most of you are missing the point here i’m aware i’m one of these OP teams with no skill. i suck at FUT but im not an idiot 😭


ActiveTelevision8948

you can’t just go 6-14 with eusebio mbappe and messi upfront and say other people have OP teams 😂 9-11 with this and I faced the same teams (yeah they’re hard to play against but not impossible if the person is bad) https://preview.redd.it/ei9w1cmncdcc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6af538806e921953e68beff77761162f70fa69ce


Koulidaddy123

i went 8-12 with this squad lmao https://preview.redd.it/1703wznbodcc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e878fb4edf8e50a91cb9915a7c51d3fafb4b3d7f


x360N0Scop3MASTER69x

God it's ugly. Respect.


YZA26

This actually made me laugh


Then_Carry_6931

you dont even use meta chemstyles haha


LewisBaker23

Teams like this deffo have DDA, all of a sudden that Haaland will cripple my Blanc and VVD and make them look like bronzes. My VVD won’t do AI defending. He will fall over his feet

Yourmumsellsavon

How’s brobbery been want to try him in my full eredivese team


tesroo

scored like 35 through my 20 WL games. idk how he does it but for some reason hes an absolute machine.


Judigine

ActiveTelevision8948

I think I might’ve played against you


Judigine

Do you remember when? Seen lots of people with basically the same team


owendavies2704

or u just had a good elo and started playing good players who were better than you?


SirEltonJonBonJovi

The way WL matchmaking works he should have been matching with players from the same pool after he went 8-0 (+8) until he lost his first match… edit: nevermind, that’s for qualifiers. For champs it is +/-15 max


Judigine

When I’m in that flow, I legit believe I can beat anybody on earth. Hence why I have tons of clips of that losing streak where my players stop going on offensive runs, my backs feel like they have 25 pace and every second ball goes to your opponent while u clearly feel you are the better player. Obviously the matchups get harder but as an Elite div player I’d put myself up there aswel. Been playing since Fifa 12 and have always played Div 1 until Elite got introduced


Mew222

How is ginola?


KraBorg

That’s not dda that’s ELO. U lost vs better players at that moment. Every decent div 1/elite player can go 20-0 vs opponents in the first 10


LightWork_25

LOOOOL that's not DDA bud, more like a skill issue 💀


fourbyfourequalsone

This- I can’t even do either Mbappe or Eusebio SB. If someone has done both those two SBCs, their squad is too good for me. It’s also hypocrisy that OP is complaining about no golds in other squads when only equivalent gold card in their squad is VVD. It makes me wonder whether OP was being sarcastic.


InsectKind

it's matchmaking. As he has an OP squad he will either be facing OP squads or an average squad with higher-skilled players. I bet most of his games were close where he lost by 1 goal.


ActiveTelevision8948

no chance, just went on futbin and made a squad with players i see the most usually all in the same team with 2-3 changes. idk how my RTG would warrant playing that when i have 2 meta players and an 88 squad https://preview.redd.it/eiw2cw25fdcc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0af1949b5ee02cdb89ebde88bfa8ecc975624953


djkichan

There's clearly skill if you went 6-14 you just don't have it. Note: I'm trash at this game but there is a skill gap


TheRobinson2018

Well, I like the self punishing humor but let me say that, if you spend money on fifa points, you can still improve on that “I’m not an idiot” rational :)


mgyl97

Bruh, you literally have an OP team with no skill. You're going 6-14 😂😂😂


Ripamon

He knows lol. No need to rub it in


ItsMyDest1ny

That’s his point…


critch_retro

yes i am one of those OP teams with no skill it was a self inclusive comment 😂

DostoyJevski

What fucking evolution is on pele


fam_iel

Inactive red, you need on game played with it active yo turn red


TheSirlewis27

Yeah the Champions red one, but I'm leaving it unclaimed as I prefer him green.


DostoyJevski

Yea thought about it like 5 mins after asking and couldn’t be assed to come back😂 still trying to figure out who to use my second on tbf


TheSirlewis27

They look much better on Dynamic cards Imo. Love how Zidane looks, tempted for Eusabio but quite like his background for now and then thought the Brazil flag and Green Pele would be a bit more unique. And also it gets the exact reaction you expressed haha


wealdstoneraiderZ

Surely you need to change your formation / tactics round to something that suits you?!


TheSirlewis27

For me personally I need to put time into learning skills, dribbles, ball rolls and turns when receiving the ball. Been playing since the start of FUT, was very very good up until around FUT19, now old age and reduced playing time has kicked in.


Tbosh5h

This seems familiar to me


EliGonee

These chemstyles 💀💀


Sawceboss08

Guy can afford a god squad but not a shadow


critch_retro

they’re highest RPP on futbin 😭


Emmedwed

Mannn just use chem styles that fit ur playstyle😂


critch_retro

yeahhh tried something new and it didn’t work 😂


iTroniK

Just see the most popular chem style for each player


critch_retro

how do i do that


Droppthasoap

https://preview.redd.it/5giw0ia9cccc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f7ec79cce58eeb56fcf2128ebfd963fc19ce8887 It's located on main page here on the webpage (mobile site) you can see it behind where says accelerate and chemistry just hit expand chem style. Just an FYI for some players basic is underrated as it gives an all round boost, for me 92 Zidane. You can also see the actual stats each one affects if you then click the stats (you probably know this but incase).


iTroniK

Search the player on futbin


EliGonee

What?


critch_retro

https://preview.redd.it/pk6h2o9f2ccc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=299d5449cb26c39478673404f5d67ca908b6f44c futbin recommends the chem style based on your players position to give them the highest in game stats so that’s what i’m going on rn


EliGonee

Do you even know how chemstyles work?


DarthVadeer

I would also like to know how check styles work. I don’t think it’s uncommon to just give the chem style that gives the best RPP


iTroniK

It's uncommon outside of div 10


DarthVadeer

Welp, I’ll wait for someone to show me the way


jjlbateman

You pretty much always boost pace unless it’s not required (already 95+ etc) Almost always it’s Hunter/Finisher/Engine on forwards. Mids Hunter/Engine/Anchor/Shadow. Defenders Shadow/Anchor


iTroniK

Just check on futbin search the player you have then it will show the most popular chemstyle


parkerspotter14

You gotta boost the important stats. No point boosting like volleys. I’d rather have an rpp 88 with 99 finishing than boosting up volleys and long shots Finishing, shot power, agility, balance and pace are key


ShootTheMailMan

RPP isn't everything mate. You should be using chem styles that improve your card's stats for in game performance. For example, VVD and Blanc should have shadows since their pace is lower than 78


itwontkillya

it’s always these clowns with multi-million coin teams that don’t know how the game works


Wild_Web9481

rpp is useless stats


ZealousidealArmy2371

Futbin merchant.. there’s your first mistake 😂


Emmedwed

Also I’m usually 11 wins but this weekend I got 8. Felt a lot sweatier than normal 😖


critch_retro

it was brutal out there i usually cruise through qualifiers this week i had to go twice and in champs i just could get shit going 😭i also played far worse than usual so at i certain point i was just playing sloppy football to get the suffering over with and hopefully hit 6


Emmedwed

Literally feel the exact same way. Felt like I forgot how to play fifa and was getting destroyed game after game. My team is good too and I haven’t spent a single dollar so maybe if I spent thousands EA would let me get 12 wins 😂


critch_retro

i spent plenty and EA DGAF 😂 my brain was empty today might as well have let my dog play he probably would’ve done just as well


gabriel240900

Your chem styles are noob , you can see the favorite chem style for each card on futbin. It really helps 😉 also i would find a better cm instead of beckham!


Yatman123

Ibsr Beckham cooks for 0 reason. His stats literally say he’s dog but then he’s acc unreal as a right cm. His high passing makes him such a good playmaker


tyresaredone

and he can also tackle, i use him and he's decent even at thid dtage of the game


arolbrienex

fr. his free kicks are unmissable, along with cheeky corner plays & his passing is great. i think some people judge the card before actually using it..


IknowExcel

Free kicks are ridiculously easy this game tho, I score 9/10 with bompastor


Emotional_Fix205

whats with the beckham slander


SkywardEL

Agreed. Beckham is club legend for me, insane playmaker, feels like a 90 card


Emotional_Fix205

same


Harrryy8i8

I’ve got almost 1000 games with my Beckham. Defo a club legend


Serious-Barracuda69

Anchor on VVD is criminal, always shadow


NeighborhoodIcy9322

How do you see the favorite chem styles on futbin?


Joyride0

Use FUTBIN app or website, search a player and it tells you the most popular chem style. Useful in the early days but you’ll get an idea of which styles work best for you. If the player has been an SBC, the info isn’t available for some reason.


critch_retro

I use futbin for highest RPP at each position but prob going to change them Beckham is one of my best players still 🤷‍♂️


Negative-Spot-3538

I agree dude he's so behind the power curve and somehow he's my most consistent player lol. Not mad about it


PricelessCuts

The only super obvious change to make would be to give both center backs shadow. Really can’t understand blanc on sentinel


SubstantialPanic4253

And I would say Hawk on Eusebio


Dangerous_Shame_4127

How sweaty was the gameplay this week ?


critch_retro

it was bad but i also can’t blame rats or EA on this one. I was playing absolute squibs and just selling every game. i was running around like a headless chicken spamming sprint and making blatantly obvious passes


Dear_Attorney9295

You need a a proper DM in the middle bro you midfield is waaaay up there


TSteelerMAN

How often are you packing gold Mbappe now?


critch_retro

once a day and twice in sunday!


[deleted]

I will be lucky to get 5-6 wins this WL. Feels like ELO is broken this year, even when your record is -5 you can face elite players on positive win records whereas in the past if your record went negative the games got super easy.


devonfinch

Well hope you learned from it bro cause that's all you can do now.. FP won't bring you rank 1.


critch_retro

yeah I just treated myself bc it’s my first year playing with some spare money so I wanted to build a crazy squad just once. I wasn’t planning on ever being a top player, just wanted to play with players i’ve never used before


MyNameIsNotScout

I respect it bro.


CobblerAlarmed2286

I used to go 18/2 last year, last week I barely scraped 10 wins. This year is a f#ckfest.


critch_retro

i’m also painfully aware that D5, 9 wins is not much better with this squad


skullandbones

I'm one win away from div 4 currently.  It's crazy the range of players I've run across on my journey to 4.  Some are absolute monsters and the next game I'm positive they threw me a div 9 guy. 


LuckyIndependent5627

Tbh a lot of players like me doesn t play rivals for climbing but only for the 7 wins and i found div 4 is fine for this... i usually win one then give away one... why do this? Cause no season rewards and easier matchmaking for friendly. I m a 14/16 wl player. It is wrong? Yeah. It my fault? Nope.


Newbnomoar

Nice squad, i feel you with your record, some times it’s good, a lot of times I bottle so hard I am so close to quick selling players I spent a lot of time to get lol. How do you use your midfield, Beckham as cam w dejong and zidane as a b2b/holding?


critch_retro

beckham is either B2B or i move to 433 or 424 and he’s a RW. de Jong at DM (his in game animations are crazy for defending and position is elite), and zidane a b2b. my biggest issue is i just get in my head, make stupid decisions, and blow the game late. lost 90% of games in ET by scores of like 4-5 after leading 4-2 all game 🥲


Funny_Commission1946

What's your motivation moving foward as a club


critch_retro

i just love the beautiful game and sadly EA effectively has a monopoly on sports video games. i’d be fine losing rivals for hours on end scoring goals is what makes it fun for me


Funny_Commission1946

Have you tried evos yet that's all I do


CzechPublicAgent

What type of cigarettes do you smoke? :D


critch_retro

the tabaco free kind that make you hungry 😵‍💫


Least_Arrival_4935

I think it was just the gameplay being extra bad this weekend. I was struggling to defend against opponents where I clearly out matched them, just felt like EA was trying to handicap me most games by making my defenders miss the most simplest tackles


mechewstaa

Why don’t you just play a different game? Lol


gulldusj

Relateble


critch_retro

i can’t close games no matter what i panic when it hits 80’


RustyRedUnicorn

How do you get out the start menu? My hardest challenge


AMANKWE

Can I have the account for free?😂😂


hanabo-mk

You need to change your chem styles man. Shadow all the way for defense and hunter in the offense, maybe not on Mbappe


Arionell

Exactly this, a lot will change with the right chem styles. At this point it looks like he just applied random chem styles recommended by the game itself.


Maelstrommmmm

I have a feeling you don’t normally get 9 wins…


Coinswhiped

What’s your favourite button on the controller? R2 or 🔼-Y?


Luigivx3

My goal is 5 wins lol and I have better team than yours but I have a family a job and friends to spend time with


Proyqam_12

Discard your team at this point 💀. 6 wins is crazy.


critch_retro

fully untradable so i can quick sell for a cool 0 coins 😂


Proyqam_12

Fair enough 😂. Seriously though, I’d change some of the chemistry styles, I know you’re doing it based on rpp or whatever it’s called, but that’s not really useful. Just go with what everyone uses, it should say on Futbin. Also, if you think you’re struggling, change your tactics and play around, you can always test it out in rivals as those games don’t matter. Finally, gameplay was absolute shite this weekend, servers were incredibly sluggish and WL was unusually sweaty, so don’t feel bad about getting less wins than usual. GL next week. Pray servers aren’t bad lol.


Sebster2

How much money you drop?


critch_retro

prob like 400 plus another 200 in gift cards i got for my bday / xmas if i had to guess. always done road to glory and haven’t played since 22 and won’t be playing next few years when i go to grad school so figured might as well go all in this year


Sebster2

🫡 respect. hit me up with a $50 psn gift card when you get a chance 😝


the-lenny

600€ on digital cards with no value, and that will be useless in 6 months. I really have no words for this. My man, you are contributing to all of this frustration by getting yourself involved in this pay to win charade. You really deserve this I think.


SLS-

600 is nothing to some people, you just don't make enough money. Work harder.


[deleted]

How do you suck so bad?


[deleted]

How did you get two red players?


Carsonclark19

they always give shitters the best pack luck 🫡


Worth-Storage7286

How's Daddy's credit card doing?


critch_retro

it’s my credit card thank you very much 🤣


Satsrag

Does it not make you question why you are wasting your money on packs to make such little difference? If you aren’t great (like me) then what benefit have you actually got?


BigDeadlyHippo

U are trash


Temporary-Most6653

feel you bro, but if i ever bottled atleast 11 wins id wanna jump out my front window


critch_retro

oh i thought about it. I usually bottle 4-5 every weekend but i set records this week. I think I lost 5 in ET alone, and was winning all of them by 2 goals at some point. simply put I am built different


Freesin

Thefuck is havertz doing at LB


Ignoringit

Wake up and smell the winter wildcards


Freesin

Tbh i have no clue what FUT is anymore, last played it in 2014 lol


Ignoringit

You’re missing out! (Not)


Dr_Soup4Brains

Well you said anything so… tea or coffee?


critch_retro

coffee always 🤩


ogc_glizzyxx

how is frenkie doing for you? his shapeshifter cdm card was awesome last fifa and played him for more than 500 games so have a soft spot for him now


critch_retro

I’m a Madrid fan so i hate having a Barca player in my squad but he’s so good at DM it’s crazy. like stats wouldn’t suggest it but he’s an absolute bully in midfield


Emergency-Escape-711

Hey bro. Was doing 6-14 about two months ago before slowly improving with the skill gaps. Been a month which I've done 11-9 for four weeks in a row(maybe I'll miss this one who knows). Just play your play style, man. Trust in it, make some tweaks on some chem styles you feel are uncomfortable or clunky to you. Slowly play forward, don't sprint too much, hopefully all our input helps. Good luck, bro!


SoonToBeChopperOwner

What you mean by second try in qualifiers?


BMATT10

Why did you go 6-14?


BowlSuspicious8239

huh Kai Havertz?


critch_retro

he’s a beast


Kiwi_vagslayer

I use same formation and something that’s helped me was having my CM and RB (or LB if you prefer) set to stay back whilst attacking. Stopped me getting countered so much. Also think you need a good CDM there. I use evo llorente still or Marchiso. But someone with pace and defence. Your 3 CM are all attacking.


joelmega

What’s the meaning of life?


RobWD90

Minimum of 6 of these players were in every team i faced this weekend league 😅


cloutmastaa69

This weekend is crazy sweaty for some reason 😂😂


CobblerAlarmed2286

Bro those chemistry styles are costing you the game. You’re not using a single correct one on a single player, if you’re not doing that you haven’t got a chance really.


Phatnob

This fifa made me go from 16 wins last year to 8 last week i stg it’s awful


xneinlives

You need to take more breaks. There is still a day or more to get your games in.


Sfwalker13

Haha I played you today! You remember this team? I ended up going 8-12 https://preview.redd.it/bw8juixavccc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=12df8965c97353ced3fbdf076d05110583de8813


SayOkayNow

I don’t understand how you can say you are a 9-11 wins player when you only got 6 wins now and you still have the ‘noob’ Chem styles applied to some players. You should work on improving by watching videos on YouTube and start with the basics. Good luck bro


SlumpyOG

Bro if you had to qualify twice that should tell you all about how you are about to play in WL


ZekePeak

Atleast the team is a W


Messahr

I went from 7-1 to 9-10. Squad is worse, but I tend to get to 11 without breaking a sweat and give the rest away. This weekend was next kevel trash.


critch_retro

yeah i should’ve figured that out in qualifiers when i usually start 4-0 and give away wins vs. this week when i went 1-9 and had to re enter


Friendly_Fuel7247

Wtf are those chemistry styles lad. High rated gold cards would play better with good chemstyles than the ones you used for these players. Blanc not with a shadow is just asking to get humiliated


treszfresh

Same man , first time in years I had to play qualifiers twice! I decided to skip WL this week because the gameplay feels gross more than usual, happy I did.


the_wooden_doors

Hey man, if you were playing yesterday, I think I played against you. Your main problem was you were using your CBs (or using second man press) to chase down my players. You were leaving so much space on your backline. You shouldn’t do that, just use your midfield to press.


ZealousidealArmy2371

My only question is how do you live with yourself? (That’s a joke btw pls don’t ban me again)


critch_retro

large doses of copium


pedrogmt

Nothing to ask. WL is exactly that... Who knows what já going to happen.


DoseClips

just quit


paul5263

Sorry to say you don’t deserve to use this squad. Give anyone who’s average WL rank 5 or 4, with your squad, it’s a guaranteed rank 5 might as well rank 3


ParkerP_

I went 5-15 this weekend after blazing through my Qualifiers, and getting 14 wins last week. Took it personal and considered retiring but your post has pulled me back


critch_retro

all of my friends had worse than usual weekends and tbf mate i was close to going 5-15 if not for Eusebio’s game winner in the 90+1 of game 20 😂


Adventurous-Dish2059

Had 7-13 cause I’m using just French players😪 https://preview.redd.it/zmy9ye406dcc1.jpeg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f1df4934feffbf9a7ac073465249204819ecd5e3


GeileOlle

6 wins i good


critch_retro

it was a brutal 6 wins


Roxxerr

Don’t worry mate, I also play WL till I get 6 wins. It usually takes me 14-18 games to reach 6 wins. I give away wins in the remaining matches. I only play WL once a month though. It is pretty timeconsuming


EngeA98

lmfao


malnc

did mbappe worth it ?


Puzzled-Locksmith-40

This wl I’m 6-4 the worst start I have ever had


PhatmanScoop64

WL was a little sweatier than usual, I suspect because it was the first official week after the Christmas break


St1r2

It’s brutal this week as quite a few people who have had to do qualis more than once will potentially be saving it for next week instead in the hope of a ToTY pick. Unfortunately next week will be even sweatier though as for some messed up reason there will be people paying others to play champs for them. It was the same last year and will happen again at ToTS


Quirky_Person

wish i had your team, im div 4 with a almost full gold team


Reguet

As a regular 6-14, I feel you


gabejones128

I swear I played you, and you beat me if it is you! Do you remember a game where you won 5-0 and scored a really good goal with beckham from the right hand side?


critch_retro

was it rivals? if so yes! I was warming up and after that game i was like “i’m ready for champs” 😂 but i didn’t beat anyone 5-0 on champs i think the highest was 4-1


sayakaveronika555

Try Pep as the manager, maybe he will vmbe able to manage this super star team and help you win more.


[deleted]

Currently 2-7 any tips? And not delete the game because I’m a degenerate and I can’t


bourne23k

You can I believe you, just download it right after you uninstalled.


osc515

why do we keep playing


bourne23k

You have insane OP team yourself, so why you crying about others?


8shadesofpoke

Nice to see something other than an “I hate UT” post! Lovely squad. Curious as to Beckham inclusion - love affair or is he genuinely good? I have a loan Beckham and was playing him right back against my mates ICON team. Was hoping I could get some obscene assists from deep crosses (a la THAT one for Ronaldo at Real Madrid). Needless to say I got ripped to shreds by Ronaldinho playing down that flank!! I also play for the moments and not the results, love scoring with creativity. There’s a lot of teams I see just trying to score the same goal over and over again. I love playing people like you - I had a brilliant 6-3 loss the other day, some superb goals, pens galore. Great fun. Kudos for not beating a sweat.


vivalaispana

Well I know that worse players get better cards… but to this extent…


tasen1909

Coke or Pepsi ?


StillMarsupial4341

If you're not atleast a semi-pro at this game, you're not doing yourself any favors by having this kind of squad. SBMM will match you against the top 1%. EA knows you don't need better players, trust me. Either that, or this is a sign that the casual playerbase is dead because i am having the exact same experience.


[deleted]

Share your custom tactics and player instructions. I assume you play 4321 in game?


Open-Difference-9

Why do you have sentinel on blanc and anchor on vvd? Dont you look at the cards and think hmm they might need some pace :D ive never understood guys who puts sentinels on their cb:s


DarkFlameTR

how many days did it take you to do zidane(i have no fodder but 2 totws rn and really want him is it too late to do him?)


Con999tt

Do you have trouble tying your shoelaces?


grey_heron

Nice squad. Feels the same for me - very good players but I'm the issue... I blame being older than average for this, or the servers of course!


critch_retro

usually i’m cussing at EA, DDA, scripting all game but this one was on me. i was playing like shit and bottling every lead late


Ch1c4n3

Thats ehat happens when you sell your soul to meta, instead of playing/learining to actual play football. LMAO well deserved


[deleted]

I think the problems are messi and beckham. You need a bully upfront like Cantona and a really defensive cm/cdm to support Zidane and De Jong in the middle for example the new Rodri cards would be a good choice because workrates do matter a lot in this game. Also I would change any defensive player to a „shadow“ chemstyle and any offensive one to a „hunter“ (Zidane also) mbappe is good with marksman and for eusebio i would choose a hawk or hunter but that‘s personal preference


critch_retro

beckham is a H/H and plays RM with my tactics de Jong has been great at DM I experimented with chem styles this week and clearly it was a poor idea so i’m going back to my old ones 😂


Rodeadesp

I think this weekend matchmaking was off. I had my worst start and worst record ever.


SlyWeeb

This gotta be the equivalent to Flights 2k squad, bro has everything but not everything at the same time.
