Thanks, guys!
I thought things were getting a little easy because i had won my last couple of games. But i left it on the same level today and boy what 2 great games i had today.
One was against Coventry who were second from bottom. They scored in the 9th and 12th minute. The home fans were silent. A few minutes later our striker Robinson took the ball along the left wing. I was doing my own commentating “ this is a rare sight with Southend attacking the Coventry goal” then Robinson miss hits a cross and it catches everyone out including the goalie and it bends in. “Wow that’s unbelievable! They are back in it!” Suddenly the home fans are roaring.
In the second half Robinson toe pokes a cross in. 2-2. I think we will go on to win now but then i make the fatal mistake of kicking a goal kick to my defender but the CPU striker jumps in front and scores. 3-2. I was gutted but still a great game.
The second game was such a tight game against Walsall. They were all over me in the first half but stayed 0-0. Then second half we used the “Pressing” tactic. It was so so scrappy but so so excellent. They were putting all different types of crosses in. I was spamming headers away. It was up one end then back down the other without any shots because boths teams defence were doing well. Then we had an attack which broke down and then our midfielder got the loose ball and whacks in another classic FIFA 2019 goal! Finished 1-0 and so so satisfying.
For me this game needs to be played FUMA. I love the way you can play balls into space. Sometimes i have to sprint with the ball so i can find space to pass into. The ball feels so free so loose. But for me it has to be FUMA, normal speed, default sliders. Best footy game now.
On an off topic kinda note AO Tennis is pretty good too
You're FUMA professional on default sliders, right? Looked like a nice game. I actually switched to semi-passing again last night, the manual passes just feel so unbalanced compared to assisted or semi, if you press short to semi-short on the button, the pass is so often too weak, but if you hold it just a little bit longer it's often too hard - and it might be because I'm playing with a crappy team and crappy players, but they're just so shit at receiving balls that aren't exactly at their feet, and it's just insanely frustrating at times. So chasing an equalizer, for instance, I found myself just ... it wasn't going to happen. I'm thinking about starting a FUMA career with Spurs, and see how it goes with players that are more skilled than the Newport players, might be it was a handicap too much playing FUMA with the lousy league 2 players (and a lot of youth in their 50's OVR). Aaah, the joys of endlessly flicking back and forth between settings - ain't it the FIFA life! 
Nice! Enjoyed that. Manual shooting? That's an excellent goal, then! I can't even hit the target from outside the box with my lousy Newport players.
But thanks for the video, it looked an enjoyable game!
I love the bit at 47 minutes where "T. Robinson" sprints 50 yards to close down the defender and slide tackle straight past him! Made me laugh out loud that bit, sorry
Sorry i don’t play FUT.
Yes it is manual shooting and they don’t normally fly in like that. It was a case of just hit and hope and that’s what happened. That is also where I can see the difference that stats make.
Yep it’s on professional with default sliders apart from Inj Freq 60/60 Inj Sev 10/10 and First Touch 60/60. But what makes a big difference for me is the power bar setting at 70 although I think anywhere between 60-70 is good. Otherwise I find the passes finish short quite a lot. Also with the game speed on normal it keeps it well paced.
I think with FUMA you have to try to take your time and not panic and pass back and side to side if you have to. That’s why 10 or 15 mins halves are good otherwise it will be too rushed. Also try to pass into space. It can be so annoying at times but once you get the hang of it it feels almost as good as scoring when you hit that perfect pass.
Another thing is try to ignore the Passing % figures at the end. Because it can be discouraging when you see the other team on 80% and you only have 50%. I really don’t think these figures are correct. For example when I pass a ball into space does that count as a good pass or only when it goes to feet?
Persevere Daisuk.
Heh heh yeh I had a rush of blood go to my head. He would have probably got sent off if he took him down.
Sorry i don’t play FUT.
I've been testing that and it's literally never correct.
the new slider set (V2B2) plays some lovely football, imo! 
Yeah, playing as Tranmere is a bit rubbish - Martin Tyler says "Tranmere" at the start of the game, but then throughout the game you hear the stadium announcer say "for the home team" (e.g. "SCORER FOR THE HOME TEAM!") and then you get "the home team" throughout commentary for the rest of the match.
What annoys me is that Clive Tyldesley and Andy Townsend seem to do Bundesliga commentary (there's a few videos of it out there), but playing in England, I won't get to hear them.
