R9 is not a better dribbler compared to Dembele. R9 doesn't have better physicality than Zlatan, R9 doesn't shoot finesse like TOTT Mbappe, R9 doesn't run as fast as Vini. But what R9 gives is overall package. 5* WF, 5* SM, not too tall/bulky to effect his dribbling but also not too weak to get bullied by physical defenders. He has it all. Only player coming close to him is Kvara when he gets max ovr cards. It's the same for gullit. Everytime he has a card his haters will say he dribbles like a truck. But why on earth would people get a 191cm midfielder and expect him to dribble like Pirlo/Iniesta?? R9 and Gullit are who they are because of their completeness in package, not because of a single attribute. If people want specific attributes then get those specific players, simple as.

Anyone spending on these? 🤑🤑

Can someone tell me how do we defend crosses? I have conceded so many goals to crosses/corners. When a cross comes in, my defender just doesn't wanna jump/compete even though I powered up the clear button to the max. They sometimes even move backwards from the ball 😭😭 Especially if I see someone using haaland/Zlatan and wingers/fullbacks with whipped cross I know I am dead 😂 the moment I fail to stop the cross it's a goal. That's also why I start to totally disregard height for my CBs. No matter how tall/strong they are, they loses aerial duels randomly. Just like how in this video Lucio who's taller and stronger than mbappe loses out without even competing. Cannavaro comes with good ps I am taking him regardless.

Now I just hope for Cruyff with gold finesse. He's naturally smooth so trickster is merely a bonus. That would make this event at least 9/10 🔥

Tbh, I have been waiting for a RB Thuram for ages. What cards are u anticipating for the longest?

Someone who's damn good at the game recognises R9. Too bad most people chooses attackers and pace burst is the ONLY thing they want. And somehow they expect R9 who is 183cm and 200++ strength to have the same pace burst as vini dembele Yamal lmao Next up in week 3 I can already foresee gullit will be mid as well as they would want 191cm, 170 base strength gullit to dribble like Pirlo/Ze Roberto 😂 As far as I can remember R9 cards were never the quickest. He needs to be used in a different way to those cards. People talking shit only because he's cheap. Had the same card came in box people would be cursing the hell out of EA LOL

This card has huge potential. First time in a while that I invested a huge amount on one card. At your own risk though, no investment is 100% safe.

4* stamina, 4* weak foot yet again after winning the Balon D' Or 😂 EA really did Kane dirty lol. One thing I don't understand is how is olise having 5* wf in every card while Kane has 4*? Irl Kane's wf is 10 times better than olise's 😅

What can we say? It's only week 2 👀 I have Dembele Mbappe R9 and Ronaldinho as my front 4. So I am not sure whether to take this Yamal. But surely this is another box level card in draft. Resources saving look more and more worthy every single day. What an event so far🔥

Looks like Yamal got level 2 trickster and level 1 rapid, which is highly decent for a RW 🔥 Still waiting for a draft player with decent level 3 PS. But can't complain with those PS being given to Yamal. This event is really really good ngl. Week 1 R9 week 2 Yamal Week 3 Cannavaro and Gullit Week 4 Eusebio/Cruyff So far 2 have been given good PS. Let's hope for more 💪

H2H 20 ⭐ 41W Fastest grind that I had in any season. Probably close to 80% winning rate so far. I mainly do 2 things in attack only. Either take finesse from way outside the box with finesse expert, or pass into the box and hit first time shots. It's very effective. That attack brings so much joy. Anyone that says R9 isn't good just haven't found the best way to use him. He's as good as Dembele, but in a different way. Special shoutout to Ronaldinho, he's the MVP. What a card🔥

One thing I start to implement in my game after watching the tournament. Whenever your attackers are in and around the box, charge the shoot button to about 75% and let go. Don't overthink. Just take it on. As long as the defender is not super close when the ball is struck, it's going in. These type of goals are so hard to defend against.

Let's do a fact check and breakdown. In UCL and WC, Kane has 20 goals and Mbappe has 25. In terms of GAs Kane has 23 while Mbappe has 30. In league, Kane has 36 while Mbappe had 25. But we know how big the difference is between Bundesliga teams compared to La Liga's. Atletico got to semi of UCL last year, and barca is barca. Who is there in Bundesliga to resist the dominance of Bayern, if any? Kane has got 19 goals in domestic cups and qualifiers while mbappe only has 7. That's mainly how Kane got more than mbappe 😂 If we factor in assist, logically it should be advantage kane right? Kane is so much touted as the ultimate all-round player and mbape the selfish dictator. Kane has 8 assists in 65, Mbappe? 14 assists in 59. This fact check even got myself surprised 😅 how tf mbappe is better than Kane in assists? In terms of GA ratio, Kane is at 1.25GA/90 while Mbappe is 1.22GA/90. This is despite Kane farming goals for fun in Bundesliga, DFB Pokal and qualifiers 😅😅

I am happy ngl. So far the gap between box and non box isn't big. If this mvb drops in draft I might still go with R9. Zidane and Figo doesn't feel that OP as well. I can live with the box cards so far.

H2H 10 ⭐ 25W Switched to 4222. Have been testing formations throughout. 4231W is too defensive, 41212N is too narrow, and this felt the most balanced. That attack is bringing so much fun. Honestly if Cruyff comes I will be in huge dilemma whether to get him. Btw, Baresi is great. Height don't matter shit, trust me. Level 2 anticipate just makes every defender crazy good. He's literally UCL Marquinhos 2.0💪 8 games winning streak to get to 10 stars with only 25 total W🔥🔥

I always have this question in H2H. Like when and how are the final whistles being blown? I am merely using this video in the tournament as a sample. The moment the team in black intercepted the ball and passed to Neymar, clearly 90+1 was up. For me the only way to score is run down the wing, cut back shoot. The moment he pulls it back in a non dangerous area it should be over straight away. He managed to not only turn back, but passes to a teammate, the teammate controls the ball and pass to another teammate, then do a lane change and shoot. ALL these are done from way outside the box. Like...how..??? If that's me the ref blows the whistle the moment I intercept that ball😅 There are even times where the ref blows whistle when I am right at the edge of the box lol Somehow I always see my opponent getting to abuse the clock so much. They can literally throw in, do skill moves, dribble like Micheal jackson from way outside the box, recycle the ball, pass it in and score in the 11th minute when the injury time was +2 😅 Anyone can explain the mechanism to me?

He deserves it so much man. Especially after beating Chanh in semi. That's a good finals to watch. End to end, both players going at it. Not much ball hogging/back passing. His pass into final third and first time shots are so so good 🔥🔥

Fuck EA man. We get tradable cards because we can use them for months, then sell and get back some coins to accumulate for the next best cards. We also don't need to worry if any better cards arrive because we can just sell. Unlike shards where we will be stuck forever. But now we aren't allow to sell any tradable cards. Tradable cards practically became untradable. Like wtf?

Honestly I don't know about others. But for me as long as we get good draft players I don't mind whatever they give in box. We already gotten gold trickster and usable silver ps on R9. If we get Gullit, Cannavaro and Cruyff with 2 decent ps/1 good lvl 3 PS, I would be happy. Drop as many boxes as they want. At this moment in time I am not mad, yet.
