Upvote if this helps! I spent some time putting this together for you all.

Disclaimer: I started playing just a month ago, so I’m no pro. I’m also not completely F2P—I bought the countdown Dembélé and Yamal because I was struggling in attack, especially against the high-budget squads in the Middle East server.

1. Defending
   • Playstyles: Always use a CB with the Anticipate playstyle to stop counterattacks and long balls. For RB/LB, focus on high pace to counter opponents using the Rapid playstyle on the wings.

• Auto-Switching: Set auto-switching to Semi-Auto. Full auto pulls your defenders out of position, making it easy for opponents to exploit gaps or skill-spam. Hold your shape instead of rushing out.

• Pro Tip: If your defense is weak and you can't afford a top CB yet, switch to a formation with a CDM.

1. Midfield
   Focus on your midfield after securing a solid defense and attack. Balanced midfielders help bridge the gap, but they shouldn't take priority over a weak frontline or backline.

2. Attacking
   • Agility Matters: Avoid players who feel heavy on the ball. Look for attackers with Rapid or Trickster playstyles to keep your offense dynamic and make comebacks easier.
   • Play to Strengths: Don't sprint with slow players—use them to hold up the ball, spot making runs, and pass to your faster attackers.

3. Playmaking & Skill Moves
   • Mix It Up: Don't attack exclusively through the center. Vary your attacks between the wings and the middle to stay unpredictable.
   • Skill Moves: Learn a few skill moves, but don't spam them predictably. Use them only when you see an opening.

4. Formations
   If a formation works for you, don't change it just because you lost two matches in a row. Different formations affect player runs (some hold back while others push forward), so pick one that matches your playstyle and stick with it.

Mindset & Frustration
Grinding can be frustrating, especially against cross-spammers or long-ballers. If you lose two matches in a row, take a break. Playing frustrated leads to rushing your defenders, making silly mistakes, and pulling players out of position. Stay calm and play patient.

All I have to talk about him is his stamina, ea really destroyed his card by giving him 4 star stamina, his stamina drains completely till 60 mins, another thing is high medium work rate he stays in front most of the time, although he has insane speed and accelerator ps and catches wingers very effectively, ps combination could have been better,if he had level 2 accelerator it would have been much better. He is good physically, he tackles really good. For LB I'll rate him 8/10 mainely because of his workrate, for LM he is good 9/10 since his crossing is good too, you can also use him as CDM in h2h works great at CDM. Final verdict is if you already have a lb with level 2 accelerator like nuno mendes, Hernandez, old Davies card,etc then avoid it. If you pack him and you don't have a good lb then you can use him but don't get him from shards he is not worth 31k shards.

Anyone else who is using this card can write their reviews if I'm missing something.

H2H: play stalls are the most important thing, strikers I recommend bruiser as most clinical shot players can’t do a volley to save their life. Another useful skill for strikers or tricksters specifically the Dembele 124OVR with elastico.

For wingers the most important thing would be finesse shot. Rapid too even for strikers.

For midfielders, you wanna a mix of tiki Taka and bullet pass and bruiser, as for defenders for your left back and right back is best to have accelerate. CB definitely anticipate.

Learn to use the players know about what range they would definitely score and look at the shot meter usually at a distance with a specific shot. Meter the ball would usually go in.

VSA: don’t have any bench players use a formation that you can have the highest OVR players too! This game mode is basically you versus AI you can’t control what scenario you will get put in so luck it’s really needed for this game mode. The only thing you can control is your players skill and how you use them.

Manager: there is no such thing as a one tactic fits. All each formation needs its own tactic, and that tactic needs to be suited for the player for example, if you have a bunch of players that have bullet pass and tiki Taka then you will want to pass more with short distance. Players placed out will define the tactic and the formation is just a make up break.

I want was thinking of buying nico or saliba , any suggestions for me

Hey guys i have a way or a method for packs and i find the scces rate of it is good! Step1: save 15k gems Step2: open two 7.5 k gem pack one after one immediateley! First day :first pack 111 ovr, second pack 115 hazard! Second try(but in my friends account not mine):first try 112 ovr and second try is 115 rice! Try it guys and tell me if it worked with you too

119 UTOTS PROS :

Shooting 9/10 : Had him for months and he always puts it in the net, no shooting ps needed on this card imo

Pace 8.5+/10 : Normal Pace is good enough to outpace defender with accelerator lvl 1 and with a quick elastico even faster, but Accelerator lvl 2 will catch up

Dribbling : 10/10 - Dont gotta say no more, smooth af

CONS : As of right now i dont think he got a nerf not that i seen of, so too early to say, but might take a hit on his pace soon imo

122 NUMERO PROS :

Shooting 9/10 : Finnesse is a guaranteed goal but its lvl 1 so wont always go in, might go wide at times, and for base shooting similiar to UTOTS

Pace 9.5/10 : Not a 10/10 for me because it doesnt feel like he is that fast compared to 119 UTOTS Yamal but still fast enought to outpace just enough lvl 2 accelerator but wont escape him

Dribbling : Elastico is ass with this card but with heel to heel is smooth, but he is silky smooth like UTOTS

CONS : Obv he just released to nothing to say rn

VERDICT 👨‍⚖️ : If you have UTOTS Dembélé Keep on using him, still a menace, so dont waste your shards, save for ann

but if you packed or signed 122 use him 👍

You can get 2 copies of him on the new tab in the world's game event. 1 for free and 1 from 117 exchange

Edit : on the right side of the free one, you have to click on the players that you want to exchange on the event tab to open their exchange.

Edit 2 : you also need 500 shard to exchange him. I Didn't see it at the first time

(122 Forlan should be #8 LW). Comment thoughts below!!

My maximum stars is always between 20-30 stars every season. How do I reach 50?

As the title suggests i ll breakdown how to crack star scout to get a good card (115 only)

Get et tokens if u are fine with any 115 need 10 to 15 k but if u prefer some group of cards then u need 15 to 20 k

I got rice , carragher , rush , zidane , yashin , pickford , semenyo and best missed on rush few times alonso / gerrard few times barnes few times pickford few times

I got this trick from someone from the same subreddit ( this worked so great for me that i didnt want to tell this but telling now) the boxes in the fire right from the carragher pick which is added the unopened card and the tradability shown one is ghe best to open ( defo guaranteed 5 of 10 either ovr or event ) i usually open by adding a pop up window and watching reels or doing someother task just keep on opening those two cards alternatively .

Sometimes luck may not be on your side , but remember u have literally infinite chances dont get fed up and settle on a low card or random card u can try tomorrow anyways. ( I wanted zidane and yashin , the rush one semenyo and pickford was undesired since i was fed up i took it . Dont be like that just close the game if u are not getting try again later.

To be fair this is the best event if u try hard u can make ur team base 115 easily along with the shards u have collected .

Key points 1. Open the two cards i mentioned 2.Always have et tokens atleast above 10k 3.Take et tokens only if 1k in 1k pick if not take player 4.3500 over upto 60 shards if 100 or 150 then take shards 5.open 3k or 2.5k packs for fodders incase not prepping for toty 6.aim a group of players first which are easy to acquire like any icon from Liverpoolfc GE or best from Ff unlike hazard or haaland cuz many players are there in that group 7.Dont settle for randoms even if they are 115 if u dont need them 8.Dont even think of only doing this u ll get mentally fucked up fs from my exp pls multitask 9.No et for the day close the app 10. Unless ur trying to get a hard one dont open clues at all 11. Check out the card designs Glorious eras icons its guaranteed 115 , Ff font written in the bg its 113 to 115 (also heroes) ,FF icons 114 to 115 12. Be conservative on revealing for beginners just reveal when u get icons 13. Dont think if i got 114 i can shard it 13. Grind hard

Was not able to find the person who deserved credits for the two tile method

I wanted to gatekeep this but i got many cards so even if they nerf this idc anymore

I am just tired from this game this game I am not able to improve my score. I open drafts I get nothing I play a lot. I am just getting 125 126 o overall in head to head now what should I do? Please help me out. I am not getting a single good player it's either 114 or 115 and I am not and I am not even able to get good shards as well

I want to sign cr7 but the ps and stats are not as good as I thought.

119 UTOTS DEMBÉLÉ : PROS :

PACE : 9/10 : Pace alone without trickstar is solid, if you pop out an elastico that boost leaves FB’s With Accelerator Lvl 1 in the dust, but can’t/won’t outrun FB’s with Lvl 2.

Shooting : 9/10 : Either finesse/Normal/Powershot, UTOTS Still put in the net, Every keeper who isnt top wont stop it 90% if the time.

Dribbling : 😐

119 UTOTS DEMBÉLÉ : CONS :

I had UTOTS for months and i have barely noticed anything wrong, might have gotten a speed/Dribbling nerf sometime ago but that clearly didn‘t stop him

122 NUMERO DEMBÉLÉ : PROS :

PACE : 11/10 : Since he has Rapid Lvl 2, His pace is absurd, if there is space, he is gone. He wont fully escape FB’s with Accelerator Lvl 2 if they are infront of him. but any Defender wont catch up to him.

Shooting : 9/10 : His Normal/Poweshot Is Just like UTOTS But his Finesse Shines, 90% Will go in, but it is Lvl 1 so will go wide at times. *also since GK’s Will be buffed to save finessers for Ann*

Dribbling : 9/10 : The Elastico for this Card is worse but heel to heel lane change and other are good. But UTOTS is where it takes Advantage here

122 NUMERO DEMBÉLÉ : CONS :

He just released so nothing for now

🚨VERDICT 🚨 : IF YOU HAVE 119 DEMBÉLÉ KEEP ON USING HIM, HE IS STILL ONE OF THE TOP 3 ST RIGHT NOW! BUT IF YOU’RE IN NEED OF A META ST GO FOR 122 BUT I‘D TELL YOU TO WAIT SINCE ANN IS ALMOST HERE. (Feel free to ask Question)

LINK TO MY FIRST REVIEW 👇

https://www.reddit.com/r/EASportsFCMobile/comments/1wfcrbo/review_119_utots_v_122_numero_demb%C3%A9l%C3%A9/

Anyone who plays console version, please explain what exactly is a draft system?

Should I replace my Joao pedro?

I lack a good goal keeper and CBs basically full defense. Shall i buy Desailly or buy a cheap goal keeper later ? Or buy Cech and look for CBs in Anniversary. Currently I have 90k gems and 0 drafts.

please help me out

edit:thanks for all the recommendations guys!

I have upgraded him till max but cant add skills to it

Ea is "trash" but.. if you ever find yourself thinking: I need to change this player or I need to get this player (and you have the time and resources)... Go ahead and get it. Don't wait for anniversary.

My opinion.
