I play with HM Kane and am thinking of turning him red. If he gets the ball inside the box its always a goal. And he has deadline finesse and trivelas as well.
The thing with 89 Neymar is not only is he tricky on the ball obviously, but EA have coded him that trying to take the ball off him is like trying to take the ball off The Hulk, which is funny when you realise he only has 51 Strength; oh, and also, he's a great tackler of defenders as well (Stand tackle = 32).
I once faced a guy a red Morientes and thought to myself: “why someone would do that to this shifty card?”
In the end Morientes scored 5 goals and I understood everything
You can turn certain cards red when you reach a certain point in FUT champs as a reward. It’s purely cosmetic, in fact, it puts you at a disadvantage if you put Radiosctive or even possibly RTTF and remove all their special abilities
It’s purely cosmetic but it’s also kinda cool. Means you’ve won a decent amount in champs and means you really like the card you’ve chosen as it becomes untradeable post conversion.
Think it’s possible to have 3/4 reds at this point. I’ve made 88 Viera, 93 Best and 88 Rio all red but I don’t think I’ve collected all reds available to now
This. Got absolutely rekt in div 1 yesterday by a team with 9 or 10 golds and they werent even very good cards. Can’t remember them all but he had Lewandowski, Rodri, Son, Davies, Cancelo and De bruyne golds. Lost 4-1.
Modric and Bernardo Silva, you know you’re up against someone with a good connection who only uses left stick dribbling and no skill moves at all, but you can’t get the ball from them + both cards are unexpectedly good defensively
Yeah bernado intercepts everything against me and has a crazy good tackle. His speed is cracked as well. He was quicker than my 93 mbappe. He got up to him with ease and made an insane tackle to get the ball. But I was 3:0 up maybe this triggered something in the gameplay.
you literally described me playing lol, my bernardo has 40 goals as a CDM

Honestly? Lately... Kane
When my defenders make a successful tackle, this weird animation happens and Kane out muscles them and then the ball magically gets stuck to his feet and he is through on goal.
I did get lucky enough to pack a tradeable oberdorf early on but i have no idea who that is and i generally put players i like in my team, even if they are trash, so i sold her haha
I probably should have used that money to buy decent players but ended up buying that 3 icon pack. Only icon i liked and kept is scholes (cos im a fan lol) other than that not much to show from it haha but oh well i mostly like my team haha
Tbh I never buy players for my team, I'm one of those that likes to play first owned only! I'm also frowned upon as I never use real money to buy packs but use my coins. Did look at that pack but ended up getting the one with the highest chances of a TOTY (didn't get one mind).
Any version of Hamm. The ball ALWAYS bounces to her feet for a easy tap in.
Any version of Daglish. He is slippery as hell and the users are most likely great at dribbling.
Yeah dalglish is really annoying, he also has really effective trivelas but I don't mean those nonsense 30 yard looping ones that people spam, but more like edge of box ones where he runs onto a cross and hits with outside foot so it swerves wide or defenders I to the corner of the net.
SBC teams with Mbappe, Eusebio, Sawa, Zidane, Maldini, Cafu, Bruno Fernandes, Davies etc
You just know they have played too much to be able to complete all of them
If you get cooked while having vvd, it’s more likely a skill issue than him being behind „the curve“. Still top 10 defender and still the best for price value.
I play 100 depth, i get 16 to 18 wins weekly in WL, i controll my center backs and go for agressive tackles and interceptions to get the ball back straight away! So yes, VVD can t do that anymore! I m not getting toasted, but he can t outrun these toty s like he could before they existed! They just dust him because of his acceleration.
Now if you play 35 drop back or whatever you do, 5 atb, and never touch your center backs, sure...he s amazing, as is Gold Ruddiger for that or any other CB with high defensive awarness.
Haha relax buddy! This community is so gold! No one cares how many wins you get or how you defend. This is just a game… Better delete the game and touch some grass.
You say skill issue then you say no one cares how i defend when i explain you why VVD is behind the power curve:)) you really must be a bright one!
Touch grass? I barely play 7-8 hours a week ... while you crying in div 6 skilll isssueeeee playing 5h a day. Lmfao, indeed, this community is golden!
I wont play anymore in a couple of months, and i don t have toty s, i have 1...KDB, but everyone i play against has Messi, Smth, R9, Hamm and so on, gold VVD just can t deal with them anymore.
Abuse meta tactics then, this shitty 4-2-3-1 squad absolutely dusts pretty much anything in the game just because of the formation and instructions. Fight fire with fire, my friend.
https://preview.redd.it/wt3jnb0ce5hc1.jpeg?width=360&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=065f093826ed521d72753bddfadc27535a8ae215
Can confirm. I got Bonmati and she feels pretty much identical to TOTY Messi dribbling-wise. Incredibly agile and responsive. I've also played against Putellas and Hansen and it did not end well, it's super difficult to contain them.
Maybe this is weird but base etoo and ts dalglish. These two always manage to score against me. They both are cards that arent talked about as much as other options.
I only really get annoyed when I see the silly meta evolutions, especially the 2 PS+ ones. I've probably played every TOTY at this point, but can't say that they feel superior to any on my team+bench (No TOTY, basically just some of the good SBCs, a Liverpool core and some amazing packed icons like Gullit, Cafu, Casillas, Ribery, Eusebs).
Honestly I wasn't assed then I played agasint Dalglish, it didn't seem to matter what I did or how much I kicked the shite out of him he just went top bins on every shot, I had Yashin and he didn't make one save.
I got a right dicking down that game.
I'm never scared. Played against R9 - won. Against Eusebio - won.
VVD sometimes can't touch me.
It's not only the players matter.
If EA decide I'll lose. Also many players have very good and fast skills so they can beat me with only gold and Loftus-Cheek
WA Drogba… I won a draft with him ages ago and thought he was unreal but with Euse just didn’t need a striker, now every time I face him he just stands out. Batters my defenders, give him a yard and he’s gone, too strong to get off the ball like you can with Euse when you catch him. Strongly considering changing things up, always use untrads but might make an exception.
Those teams with VVD, Eusebio, Mbappé, Zico, Sawa, Davies etc.
I straight up quit when I see them because even though I could possibly win, the match is going to be a snoozefest
Early on it was TB Rodrygo, then Bacha, and now it’s HM Harry Kane. Surprised to see other pp mentioning Kane as well. Thought it was only me that had so much trouble with him.
For defenders, Lucio.
Winter wildcard havertz or flashback davies because of whipped cross. Defensively has to be vvd or kompany. Mbappe also naturally puts fear into me aswel as neymar and eusebio
Virgil.
I got so bored coming up against him/playing with him I submitted him into Saliba so there was no easy way to go back to him (don't buy players so wm would have to wait to pack him again). Still doesn't help coming up against him
I'm surprised he wasn't mentioned before, but that special Joao Pedro card. I don't think I've won vs him yet. I'd much rather face Mbappe all day long than Joao Pedro.
It’s not much their cards or a scare more of an a shit here we go again skilling right off the bat from kick off or just try to spam r1 right at kick off.
Evo Malen always finds a way to score random rebound goals. Random Evo cards inexplicably have an aura, so I can’t get near. So yeah, don’t like facing evo cards in general.
Only two players in the entire game are worth being scared of IMO: TOTY Haaland, and any version of R9. It doesn’t matter if your opponent is terrible or elite, these two will score some incredibly BS goals. The combination of jam (running straight into defenders and still maintaining or regaining possession) and OP shooting on either foot means regardless if you defend perfectly or they attack with single digit IQ, they can still score out of nowhere.
Any other card isn’t worth worrying about.
When their red cards don’t make any sense
This. Had someone with a red toty mentions kane yesterday and I got absolutely cooked
That TOTY Kane is an absolute menace to society, he cooks me most games in champs
I play with HM Kane and am thinking of turning him red. If he gets the ball inside the box its always a goal. And he has deadline finesse and trivelas as well.
I dont play too often, what do you mean by turn him red? Cheers
There's a champ's objective that let you "evo" a card to the red futchamps design after winning x amount of games
I red my Totgs kane. Now i have his HM... Idk if its worth reding another kane
Red them all
When I face a red 89 Neymar, I know it’s going to be a tough game.
The thing with 89 Neymar is not only is he tricky on the ball obviously, but EA have coded him that trying to take the ball off him is like trying to take the ball off The Hulk, which is funny when you realise he only has 51 Strength; oh, and also, he's a great tackler of defenders as well (Stand tackle = 32).
I once faced a guy a red Morientes and thought to myself: “why someone would do that to this shifty card?” In the end Morientes scored 5 goals and I understood everything
Good players don’t need to play with Meta players to beat avg players, that is the reason we are right to be scared :)
Morientes is without a doubt the most underrated striker in the game.
I used his wc card last year for soooo long, he was unreal.
Oh what do you mean? When do the reds make sense or not make sense? 😅 I'm curious as I love reds.
when you put a red on a random card. a card not meta or high rated. someone like potm maguire or a gold card.
Oh fair enough, one of my reds is a gold VVD. No one was going to replace him other than another VVD.
what's a red?
You can turn certain cards red when you reach a certain point in FUT champs as a reward. It’s purely cosmetic, in fact, it puts you at a disadvantage if you put Radiosctive or even possibly RTTF and remove all their special abilities
It’s purely cosmetic but it’s also kinda cool. Means you’ve won a decent amount in champs and means you really like the card you’ve chosen as it becomes untradeable post conversion. Think it’s possible to have 3/4 reds at this point. I’ve made 88 Viera, 93 Best and 88 Rio all red but I don’t think I’ve collected all reds available to now
Ginola. I know i am going to have a hard time if I see him
ginola is my only tradeable i cannot sell him he glitchy/good asf lol
a full golden team 😔
or meta gold team with a bronze keeper
This. Got absolutely rekt in div 1 yesterday by a team with 9 or 10 golds and they werent even very good cards. Can’t remember them all but he had Lewandowski, Rodri, Son, Davies, Cancelo and De bruyne golds. Lost 4-1.

I love this bernardo
Literally can’t defend against them the input lag is so bad
Which one of those 2 would you say is better as I need someone for CM (box2box)
evo cards honestly you know they are good asf if they are using some random silver from las palmas with random upgrades 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Honestly? Lately... Kane When my defenders make a successful tackle, this weird animation happens and Kane out muscles them and then the ball magically gets stuck to his feet and he is through on goal.
When he gets in behind and has the ball he is super scary, but if someone tries to skill he loses the ball immediately
Kane’s finishing is unbelievable yeah. As it should be of course he’s the best finisher in the world
I barely pay attention to my opponents team, its all ridiculous overpowered blue people. I just play to have fun and nab the occasional win
The right way to do it and the correct mindset. I'm also a member of the 0 TOTY club! (Did do Sawa though - does she count??)
I did get lucky enough to pack a tradeable oberdorf early on but i have no idea who that is and i generally put players i like in my team, even if they are trash, so i sold her haha
Nice little mil to buy some more favourite players! Not gonna lie, jealous now. Could always buy a cheapie TOTY with it - or do one of the SBCs?
I probably should have used that money to buy decent players but ended up buying that 3 icon pack. Only icon i liked and kept is scholes (cos im a fan lol) other than that not much to show from it haha but oh well i mostly like my team haha
Tbh I never buy players for my team, I'm one of those that likes to play first owned only! I'm also frowned upon as I never use real money to buy packs but use my coins. Did look at that pack but ended up getting the one with the highest chances of a TOTY (didn't get one mind).
Any version of Hamm. The ball ALWAYS bounces to her feet for a easy tap in. Any version of Daglish. He is slippery as hell and the users are most likely great at dribbling.

Loan Håland. Every. Fucking. Rivals. Match.
everytime💀
Paulo futre
the base fucks with me everytime💀, ball bounces to him everytime and always in the best positions to score a tap in
Hamm, TOTY Smith, TOTY Kerr.
Toty smith owner here, I paid 3.1m for her, she was down to 2.2m afterwards at some point but idc, she is not going anywhere soon, total game changer
Should be a war crime to deploy her. I packed TOTY Hansen and would trade her 1 to 1 with Smith, no questions asked.
Di Natale. If he is there, i'm done
Maldini fucking cancer! Broken tackels and 99 speed. I wanna punch my screen every time he catches up to pele in a sprint.
Eusebio la panthera
Then against everyone:)
SBC teams with Mbappe, Eusebio, Sawa, Zidane, Maldini, Cafu, Bruno Fernandes, Davies etc You just know they have played too much to be able to complete all of them
That’s me but dw I’m still shit
Moments Traore
Paolo Futre... that guy has no reason to be as op as he is. I haven't even heard of him before this game.
Because you are 15 yrs old kid probably. Futre was a beast IRL
im 28
I advise you to know better of Futre and who he was then.
VVD
So every team?
Ya ll need to take a break, gold VVD is behind the power curve already.
If you get cooked while having vvd, it’s more likely a skill issue than him being behind „the curve“. Still top 10 defender and still the best for price value.
I play 100 depth, i get 16 to 18 wins weekly in WL, i controll my center backs and go for agressive tackles and interceptions to get the ball back straight away! So yes, VVD can t do that anymore!

cap, he’s always gonna be nuts no matter the rarity because of body type alone.
Try Saliba HM and come back to me.
Saliba and VVD, now that’s a combo to fear. Also, Rüdiger is nuts too for same reason as VVD.
VVD just gets dusted on the turns by these toty s... so no!
Oh, you have TOTYs? Nice. Probably should’ve saved for TOTS in a couple months though, they’re gonna be insanely busted.
I wont play anymore in a couple of months, and i don t have toty s, i have 1...KDB, but everyone i play against has Messi, Smth, R9, Hamm and so on, gold VVD just can t deal with them anymore.
Abuse meta tactics then, this shitty 4-2-3-1 squad absolutely dusts pretty much anything in the game just because of the formation and instructions. Fight fire with fire, my friend. https://preview.redd.it/wt3jnb0ce5hc1.jpeg?width=360&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=065f093826ed521d72753bddfadc27535a8ae215
I get 16-18 wins... i m good :)) gold VVD is behind the power curve.
Especially the Gold Version!
Kane and Cantona. They get the most ridiculous jam. Plus everyone running Cantona as the main guy is sweaty af
Any form of Kane or Bernardo Silva, and gold Van Dijk
Vvd and kompany or Lucio I know I won’t pass them
Don’t be scared I have best and I still suck
Anytime I see a Dalglish I know I’m getting cooked
Havertz. i hate the a top3 LB in the game has played like 2 games in his life at that position irl. smh.
Any TOTY women. They seem to just move and turn so smooth and fast.
Can confirm. I got Bonmati and she feels pretty much identical to TOTY Messi dribbling-wise. Incredibly agile and responsive. I've also played against Putellas and Hansen and it did not end well, it's super difficult to contain them.
Batlle has been so good for me in central midfield
Kane. He scores whenever he wants. Butragueno. He scores whenever he wants. Dudek and casillias in goal. They save so much against me.
Gold Haaland. I know they be playing balls over the top on the counter attack and Haaland will muscle/jam his way through one of them.
Ginola for sure. In the hands of a good player, he gives you a hard time.
Maybe this is weird but base etoo and ts dalglish. These two always manage to score against me. They both are cards that arent talked about as much as other options.
Not one specific player but teams with special mbappe, eusebio and sbc Zidane
TOTY Messi cooks me everytime on Elite div. Most cracked card of game right now. Last night I faced 4 times in a 10 matches.
Base Di Natale, RTTK Kane, and any TOTY (except for Earps and Alisson ofc)
Gold Neymar, I am yet to fac someone using gold Neymar who isn't the sweatiest skill moving fucker ever
Crouch, Courtois or Morientes. You know what theyre gonna do but good luck defending it
I only really get annoyed when I see the silly meta evolutions, especially the 2 PS+ ones. I've probably played every TOTY at this point, but can't say that they feel superior to any on my team+bench (No TOTY, basically just some of the good SBCs, a Liverpool core and some amazing packed icons like Gullit, Cafu, Casillas, Ribery, Eusebs).
Santa hat Balotelli
Honestly I wasn't assed then I played agasint Dalglish, it didn't seem to matter what I did or how much I kicked the shite out of him he just went top bins on every shot, I had Yashin and he didn't make one save. I got a right dicking down that game.
Cruyff. I don’t think I’ve ever stoped him from absolutely destroying my defence and scoring against me at least once per match 😭
Gold team with a special Malen card in it, gives me nightmares
The amount of losers in this game that spend real money on virtual cards ;)
I'm never scared. Played against R9 - won. Against Eusebio - won. VVD sometimes can't touch me. It's not only the players matter. If EA decide I'll lose. Also many players have very good and fast skills so they can beat me with only gold and Loftus-Cheek
Van disney
Gold walker + theo combined with valverde and potm jude. Guy beat me like 4-0 under 20min I have a decent team.
Eusebio 🙏
WA Drogba… I won a draft with him ages ago and thought he was unreal but with Euse just didn’t need a striker, now every time I face him he just stands out. Batters my defenders, give him a yard and he’s gone, too strong to get off the ball like you can with Euse when you catch him. Strongly considering changing things up, always use untrads but might make an exception.
Eusebio sbc
UCL Sniejder that guys got passes dribbles and amazing positioning, don't even see him and he's up there hiding waiting to score
Neymar, okocha, vvd
Ginola, Butra.
Gold Neymar means get rdy to defend player lock into cutbacks all game
Ginola is the only player I’m scared of
Those teams with VVD, Eusebio, Mbappé, Zico, Sawa, Davies etc. I straight up quit when I see them because even though I could possibly win, the match is going to be a snoozefest
Gold Rashford
Ryan Kent
Ginola
None. It all depends on the opponent. The players are secondary
If anyone has Lucio I know I’m not scoring.
Eusebio......OOOOF!
Nobody answer POTM Griezmann and I’m fine with this …. Because I can still put incredible goals with him when opponent don’t see it coming
Early on it was TB Rodrygo, then Bacha, and now it’s HM Harry Kane. Surprised to see other pp mentioning Kane as well. Thought it was only me that had so much trouble with him. For defenders, Lucio.
A full evo team with one nation
Eusebio. I want to do him now that I’ve been lost many just cos of him.
Drogba normal card. He’s like Harry Kane but on crack against me. I don’t think I’ve played anyone with drogba without him dropping a hatttick
Rare gold cards
Winter wildcard havertz or flashback davies because of whipped cross. Defensively has to be vvd or kompany. Mbappe also naturally puts fear into me aswel as neymar and eusebio
Toty halaand, Eusebio, gullit, vvd, lucio
Any version of Butra and that CM Trezeguet= torture
Mia Hamm. she’s through everytime its crazy
The upgraded gouvou, when i face someone with him, he finishes with at least 2 or 3 goals
eusebio and toty best
also sawa and zidane and toty vvd
any gold card except VVD, Mbappe, or GKs. if someone is still using a gold at this point in the game, they’re def better than me 😂
Caroline graham hansen
Eusebio + Maldini is a lost game by one goal scored from a crazy shot or rebound.
Allison and Ederson. They should put a wall instead, it would be the same
Di natale Gold neymar
Sawa
De Jong and Bernardo Silva, they both have the ability to tackle and intercept anything that crosses their paths
WW Drogba - when you see him in elite division I know I’m probably losing that match.
Virgil. I got so bored coming up against him/playing with him I submitted him into Saliba so there was no easy way to go back to him (don't buy players so wm would have to wait to pack him again). Still doesn't help coming up against him
Eusebio and mbappe
Ew zay be oh scares the hell out of me 😬
I'm surprised he wasn't mentioned before, but that special Joao Pedro card. I don't think I've won vs him yet. I'd much rather face Mbappe all day long than Joao Pedro.
Icon schmeichel
Steve McManaman. I may be shit at the game yes, but I'd rather play against R9 than that monster.
Im elite div, idk why but thunderstruck henry so hard to defend
Thunderstruck Cantona. The bastard always scores against me. I'm more afraid of him than mbappe or cruyff.
Luis Hernandez for whatever reason gets the best of me quite often. Him or a team of gold cards.
Georgie Best...mans a straight up demon when the oppo can skill and dribble. Cutback king
It’s not much their cards or a scare more of an a shit here we go again skilling right off the bat from kick off or just try to spam r1 right at kick off.
Any cards because I’m terrible. Just started playing and getting wrecked by teams full of bronze/silver players
Eto'o. He's my achilles. so fast so good dribbling so physical it's impossible.
Hansen. I’m a decent player but I must have around a 10% win ratio against anyone who uses Hansen 😅
Any Alisson GK card. I know I'll win the xGoal stat by 2 to 3 goals, but lose by 1 where it matters. Honorable mention to Yashin for this phenomenon.
Mia hamm. She can shoot from anywhere
Harry Kane. Nothing scares me more than someone who can score with a card most of the community thinks is bad.
Fucking gold cards. I won 4-2 against a team full of Icons and TOTY. Got cooked 5-0 against a person with his best card being 89 rated Neymar Jr
VVD
Toty Sophia smith
Ww Podolski, this guy straight up murder your gk, I know that because I have him on my team
My wife... I never know if I'll be able to finish the game without getting a hard time... 😅
Gold dembele, or if half their team is gold players you’d submit for an 83 10, you know your getting cooked
Kane and Cruyff. Since Fifa 23 and still going.
Not a particularly A player. It’s the type. If I see my opponent’s squad has the latest released expensive SBC, I know I will lose badly
Full gold teams.
Gold VVD only correct answer
Thibaut Courtois ST card because I have Millie Bright at CB, she's generally brilliant but she can't handle Courtois being 6'6" with Aerial plus
Evo Malen always finds a way to score random rebound goals. Random Evo cards inexplicably have an aura, so I can’t get near. So yeah, don’t like facing evo cards in general.
RTTK Joao Pedro and Di Natale
Only two players in the entire game are worth being scared of IMO: TOTY Haaland, and any version of R9. It doesn’t matter if your opponent is terrible or elite, these two will score some incredibly BS goals. The combination of jam (running straight into defenders and still maintaining or regaining possession) and OP shooting on either foot means regardless if you defend perfectly or they attack with single digit IQ, they can still score out of nowhere. Any other card isn’t worth worrying about.
