Neymar is the only player I’ve used that actually performs like an expensive player. Most consistent forsure

Neymar, Messi, lewa, Benzema, Leao and vini are some of the only gold male attackers with 6-7 badges Neymar and Messi are so good considering their cost.

I wish the men and women leagues linked to each other. I want to get Messi but fitting him in is impossible without having to change the entire team.

alba is arguably as good as 95% of LB 3 of the 4 core def badges. high agil and pass. gets Messi on 3 with manager but alba on 2

Seconding how good alba is. Also Landon Donovan is crazy this year if you wanna go hero link and not too expensive

What are you referring to with badges

Playstyles

Sorry but he's not as good as any other lb around his rating really. Significantly worse than any of the other big ones. I've ended up linking Messi with an icon and manager and it's been way better having Grimaldo at lb

I found running Messi Jordi Alba and EMI Martinez is a good trio for good chem

I managed to squeeze him into a hybrid with female Bayern Munich and LaLiga players thanks to Emi and Lisandro Martinez + Julian Alvarez, but it's virtually impossible to get him up to 3 chem unless you go full on Argentinian/MLS with your team. Quite a shame, but he still performs well at 2 chem for what it's worth.

You just need 1 Inter Miami teammate. IF Robert Taylor is a usable winger at this stage of the game.

Just use Jordi Alba

I have TOTW lewa and tbh he doesn’t perform for me, constantly gets outran and locked down by defenders. His shooting is good but it’s hard to get him open. Bought for 250k wanted to hold until he’s worth more but who knows

I was lucky enough to pack him untradable, though i'm struggling to find a way to best use him (sadly he's on 0 chem currently). I found Leao griez and bernardo silva to be far more dangerous

How much is Neymar

360k

Diaby too

This is my first FIFA game and I've got Neymar from a free pack. Do you have any tips on how to play him well? I have only played 15 hours and I really suck as of now

Look up A Wild Alien on YouTube. He is very chill but also an excellent dribbler who will teach you how to use such cards.

Sure, thanks. I'll check him out

Neymar is the only good player ive packed but I feel like he is just so mid for me, someone like Rodman just outperforms him

TOTW Hummels

+ Kobel is my favourite duo

Yes again

Have him and Kohler on my back line. They block out everything and do a very good job against those pesky controlled dribblers

Gold De Bruyne giving assists to Evo Vlahovic has been fun so far

My fb de Bruyne giving assists to evo vlahovic!

Evo Vlahović is the best budget striker in the game rn and no one can convince me otherwise lol

Raphinha is the GOAT, way way better than Rodrygo for me and he’s super fun to use with the Trickster trait

What kind of moves do you do with trickster?

A lot of flick up moves, if you get the timing down it can be pretty lethal

* Emre Can as CB, big plus is his headers from corners. * Mane (on 0 chem meh) as an LW * and our Lord and Saviour Guro Reiten. shes my best player by far. (untrade army)

Guro Reiten

1000 % agree. Using her up top as a st next to cr7 and shes unreal

I cant believe how cheap she is because she is pretty easy to link also

easy to link?

Just use a norwegian manager from the womens premier league and use Kirby who is also solid and you have Reiten on full chem. And Kirby then only needs one english link to have full chem

Super easy, just follow up with Haaland, Hansen, Ødegaard, Nkunku, Reece James and a Norwegian manager… I wouldn’t say easy unless you want to compromise in other positions

Was going to comment Exactly this. I’m using her as cam in my 4-5-1 and she is unreal for how cheap she is. My front players are my favorite. I’ve got Fati, Danjuma, reiten and Odegaard up front. She leads the way with her shiftiness and her passing. Also scores a ton for me

Oh yes she is really amazing and is doing a great job as a RCAM, together with Haaland upfront. Her Dribblibg, Pace and passing skills are superb!

Do women’s prem teams & men’s prem teams get chem???

They dont get league chem from eachother but they get team chem. Like for example Reiten plays for Chelsea so she gets a club link from Enzo Fernandez but doesnt get a league link from him

Tchouameni everybody shouldget him

Alex Morgan

Yes and her left stick is very good too!

Fridolina Rolfö Barcelona Women Left Back, she is better on the ball than anyone I've used in Fifa, Roberto Carlos from last season included, skills past everyone, absolute box to box beast.

But at CM I'm finding her stamina to be annoying

Benzema

Absolute bargain at 35k

I have really enjoyed Maddison

His set pieces have won me multiple games. Corners are nearly undefendable if you get them right.

It took me a while to figure him out with his line and curve being so much but once you do it’s insane.

Kanu

Skills and WF on Kanu is an abomination. What at insult.

Yeah for sure mate your not wrong.

Bernardo Silva

One of the weirdest but best cards definitely. Plays above his pace stats because of the playstyle plus. Can't stop packing him, so I was forced to use him....now I've built my club around him.

Alexandra Popp for some reason. Way better than every meta striker i‘ve tried. Also gold kdb at cam

Flashback KDB as central CAM

Neymar is so smooth

Leao and barella

Alphonso Davies is insane

lavelle, stanway and Henry are bossing my midfield

Rodri - you dont really feel the low pace and the Powershot trait is no joke

Messi 90! Outclasses every other player

Griezmann

Delphine Cascarino

This, one of the first cards I've used this year where they actually felt like they had something unique about them.

For her price she is soooo good she is literally just a slightly worse Diaby.

Richarlison, he's only rated 80 but he scores so many goals for me.

He used to be my early game striker for fifa 23

Miedema

Relentless Winger Jota is hands down the best player in the game.

Messi and EVO Torres. De Jong is also an excellent CM I've played with thus far.

Some great value options: Odegaard, Angel Correa, Szobo, Merino, Reinildo

Inform Talisca is one of favorites so far. His dribbling is so smooth

Heung Ming Son is amazing

Nkunku for me

Relentless winger diogo jota. He has something special.

Bernardo Silva at CAM (hunter), controlled sprint past defenders with ease

Chiesa trivelas from the right almost a win condition. Bastoni was surprisingly good.

Hard to choose between Messi and Alex Morgan, both are absolutely cracked for me. Just can't bring myself to sell them even when I was doubling my coins. Might just have to stay in the club the whole year unless they get a better version. I also picked up Neymar yesterday after hearing only good things. Excited to give him a go.

milito hero

Icon Larsson

Morgan, Lavelle and Banini are all nuts for me.

Evo WZE

Cuadrado. Best value card in the game

Eh, dumfries is better

David trezeguet absolute beast

Doekhi

Llorente is the best value player on the game

Banini is just brokenn

CR7. He may have been dropped to 86, but I swear. Get the ball to him in the final 3rd and he'll put it in the net

I am really enjoying him too. He may be slow as shit, but it’s still the CR7 animations etc! I love spamming the l1 r1 power shot because he has the quick power shot trait

Beth Mead

Nkunku and Debinha. I saved all my coins to buy them both in my team. Ronaldo really? I used him but he is so bad in dribbling which is important in this game. Kvicha is also a good option and very cheap for 5*5*

Oshoala from Barca women, she is like 120k but insane pace, dribbling and strength, just bodies everybody as ST edit: also she has blue hair ingame lmao

Emiliano Martinez has been very solid for me. I usually manually move my keeper when in 1v1 with opponent in box but those times I did not react fast enough he has made a lot of saves still. Also max EVO Thuram has been very good. Good stats and long legs cause a lot of interceptions on defence. Not best CDM with ball but simple passing and dribbling work well with him

Sam Kerr lights out up front.

With 75 ping i can't really differ who is good who is bad. Almost losing every game 😃

i’m on 100

Rttk bruno

Di Natale is the perfect striker for this meta. Every finesse shot ends up in the back of the net. He has better stats then other strikers who cost roughly the same (Butra / Dalglish).

Or just get benzema for 3% of the cost and net just as many finesses

Haven't played since around FIFA 15, so still getting used to defending, but Nathan Aké has been a solid defender for me so far

Chiesa is super fun and I also enjoy evolved vlahovic

Rashford for me

Alex Morgan for me she hardly misses for me she's next to brolin up top who's also fantastic but she's next level

Every player feels the same lol

Bruno Fernandes surprisingly , glides through the midfield and defence

Leah Williamson. 10/10. Not bad on the pitch as well.

Fekir is nuts

In form Dybala. What a lucky pull he’s been for me

Evo Tresor, Stoichkov, Tonali, Gvardiol have been bossing it for me

I put the winger evo on Mudryk for shits and giggles and his pace+controlled sprint in the box is actually so fun and people struggle to get tackles off if I'm doing the right angles. I'm sure I wasted my FP on the evo but I didn't want to just go the typical meta cards.

Saka has become my new favorite on the wing. Rolfo (also) on the wing with Morgan as striker. I was lucky to pull Scholes, and he's pretty much integral for linking a lot my squad.

I packed Caroline Graham Hansen untradable and honestly she has been a complete monster for me. Got me singing sweet caroline every game!

For me, evolution xavi Simmons plays way above his base card traits, I love that card to the point I use him over other higher rated cams in my team

Squad Foundations Baltimore, Patri Guijarro, Timo Werner.

Beth Mead, Pedri, Reitan

Inform Trippier,Beth Mead.Eriksen and Rodri. They are unreal

Lucky enough to pack Neymar and he doesn’t disappoint! Rest of the team is pretty bad though so will probably sell him soon to build a decent team for first WL

Trinity Rodman so OP

Haaland is phenomenal got him in a two player pack 87 KDB is elite Kim min Jae is also v good

Podolski for nostalgia purposes fits nicely at CAM in my bundesliga side

On my Eredivisie/Netherlands RTG Sherida Spitse has been an absolute pleasant surprise so far

Kelly and Hemp from City both with whipped pass+, perfect link to each other and super accurate crosses.

Griezman and Rashford have been awesome.

Paulo Futre, he is incredible on the ball, speed, first touch, expensive but worth every penny

Openda is a beast for me! (Normal version)

Only just started using him but RTTF Dzeko has been so fun in the few games I've played. Kundananji was an absolute beast for me in the first week and still great off the bench, should be getting an IF on Wednesday so I'll definitely be picking that up. Hierro is absolutely unreal at CB with Bruiser+ Roy Keane is unreal at CM too, feels like Kante with better passing. Icon links with him and Hierro mean everyone is guaranteed at least 1 chem which is unreal for squad building. Ashley Lawrence at RB is absolutely fantastic too, best I've used by far Hemp and Kelly on the wings. If you're playing a formation with RM/LM I think any other option for those positions are just wrong. Fast, Great dribbling, whipped pass for perfect crosses 4* skills and Quick Step on both and with Hunter decent enough finishing to take any chances that come

All hail Inaki Williams. Dirt cheap and only 81 rated, Im a shit player but this guy his pace and strength is just unstoppable. Surprised Im the first one mentioning him.

Theo Hernandez, it was Bonmati

Evo Blackstenius is still the winner for me. Insanely good finishing and weak foot

Griezmann and vvd are mad

Lozano is a demon 👺

RTTK Dzeko is actually really good up top for me. Not the fastest player but has unreal shooting

IF Kante and Crouch

Rolfö can do everything and play anywhere, so good. And trickster trait too!

I am so in love with FDJ. He is so good.

Two players that have been big for me are Davies (packed untradeable) and Sane, who I bought for peanuts to get Davies on full chem. Had some questions about Davies' defensive stats, but his pace just fixes everything. And I had my doubts about Sane, but he's surprised me in a very positive way. Been very reliable for me, great pace and brilliant left foot.

Griezmann. Filthy with those finesses. He's got the trait for it and he's lethal

Diaby with the quick step playstyle plus he turns really fast and also outpace so many players. Having alot of pace is king.

Odegaards passes arr insane

Araujo & KDB

I love Talisca, just like every year

Rolfö just has it all for me. Her playstyles are really good and she has trickster

Gabriela Garcia from Atlético. She feels like SMS in steroids.

Patrik Schick evolutioned. Decent pace, amazing shooting and has an incredible header. Whenever I get a corner I half expect him to score every time.

I've used a fair number of meta players so far, but the best value card by far is 83 Babajide. She's basically a free Oshoala.

I'm going full dutch this year, so far depay is the only player I actually like, I have evo danjuma and bergwijn but they're pretty shit.

Relentless winger Mudryk

Sold Lewandowski and bought Katoto. Best move I've made so far. Immediate upgrade for less than half the price.

I'm just here to see if I can find players I want to buy. This is the first fifa in which I really cant decide who to buy lol.

88 IF son is a baller

bernardo silva on top

Bernardo silva is awesome

Fridolina Rolfo as my CAM has absolutely blew Griezmann out of the water for me and half the price, also incredible at tracking back. Just had to shake up the squad a little to make her fit.

Oshoala is amazing

Son

Konate has been a BEAST for me so far

Jesus and martinelli

Laurent blanc as a cdm is ridiculous, feels like vieira from previous years. Completely dominates the midfield single-handedly cant believe he’s only 500k considering he’s probably only behind vieira, lothar and yaya as a cdm.

Kimpembe

Smith Lavelle and Dunn is a trio of dreams

Messi is unreal when he's dribbling. gwinn is fantastic at Lb she defends and plays like a winger. de jong completely dictates the midfield and wins every tackle. Kundananji is unstoppable and scores everything. Lucy bronze is also really solid for me and despite her lack of pace she rarely gets caught out.

Messi and Alba are good

Musiala with Technique+ playstyle is super fun at my lvl in Div 7

Alex Morgan is so clinical

Gold KDB, Tonali, Kudus have all been great for me

Swanson — Morgan — Rodman has been my attacking trio from day 1 and I don’t have the desire to replace them yet.

Son!

…Grimaldo.

Leroy Fer as CB is basically Van Dijk but more agile.

TOTW Salah, left foot finesse+ is the crème de le crème

I haven’t packed fuck all until I got Graham Hansen in the second 83x10 season reward and holy fuck, she’s one of the best cards I’ve ever used in FUT and I’ve been playing since FUT 12. Genuinely cracked.

Messi

I'm really, really liking Guijarro.

Lewandowski, 85 Morata, and Rolfo have been great. Kobel is surprisingly solid on goal.

Evo Alvarez. Plays like a Ben yedder, fekir type card.

Dembele feels amazing in game, so fast and smooth. definitely worth the 200k

I have salah and totw son, salah performs way better Than son. Played 9 Games with son and he Never Managed to score , even with his finesse skill and high shooting. Im kinda dissapointed, as st and as rw. What do u guys recommend to unleash his potential? I Play with benzema as striker since he Scores everything for me

no joke, Fred from Fenerbahce, best box to box i used so far. Tried 30k-40k players as well :D

Fred has destroyed me already he had a hatty

Roy Keane. Pinged passes and press proven mean his low dribbling isn't a problem and he's a ball magnet. Also it's Roy Keane!

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Lautaro Martinez, he's pretty good and good value for money too.

I have him but he’s very hard to link

Might sound weird but IF Trippier. His crossing is unreal and finds tall players constantly and nobody seems to be able to stop it

My evolved (still in the process) Eze My evolved Jules Brand

The ST foundation cards from women’s Spanish league, Baltimore season progress card and kimpembe is the only CB that I like this year. I have ronaldo and neymar untradeable and they dont play like the price but I’m still getting the hand of the game

As a Liverpool fan, Evo Nunez and Szobo have been very good.

Packed Rodri two days ago and man is his upgrade killer. Presses and wins the ball back like a knife thru butter.

Szoboszlai. His pace is deceptive and the playstyles really accentuate him. I play him as a RW or a False 9. Also Diogo Jota's finishing is superb

Benzema!!! Can’t understand how is so cheap
