Really don't get the obsession with skill moves.

The majority of people who use them don't have any idea how to use the properly, preferring to just spam them and hoping they luckily beat a man.

I definitely don't spam them, just use the odd one. Maybe with 5* skillers I might go for it more.

I prefer skill move players as I think the goals can look more spectacular, gets a bit boring when you have the usual 'sweat' goals. You raise a good point though, most of them just use skills whenever they get the ball.

I use leg crosses for a lot of wing play and the occasional marseillaise roulette, but aside from that I haven't a clue. There are so many combinations and the button presses so fiddly it just seems counter intuitive to try it and risk losing the ball.

Haha yeah!

Well it's basically when people put crosses in for goals or they do pull-back passes from close range to score the majority of goals. Most lesser players find it easier to score that way.

Letting the ball run through your legs is easily the best skill move, it's actually effective if the other player assumes your gonna take a touch.

Yeah, if it's on I do those sort of things.

It's just the way the game works, you're not some sort of superior gamer just because you score REAL goals, it's a really sad attitude to have.

Yeah I know, it's mostly due to the fact a lot of Youtube gamers are trying to make everything skill-based on FIFA. Pre 2010 there wasn't that attitude.

My UT atm, I know I'm changing it a lot!

Don't think I can be arsed with UT this year, especially since they're catering more for the absolute gimps that use real life money on it.

This.

I don't necessarily seek those chances, but if they're on, of course I'm gonna take them.

Some absolutely random shit just went down.

Ordinary 74 silver, rare, Kouyate, centre-back for Anderlecht, nothing special, put him at a start price of 150.
Then I checked with a few minutes to go and the highest bid was 50,000, then there was a bidding war and it ended out 61,250! Anyone know why this kid's gone for more than Falcao, Nasri, Chiellini and Reus etc?!

How much have you spent on UT Eurostar?

Not accusing you or anything, genuinely interested because you seem to be getting quite a lot of good cards from packs and have very little knowledge of the market.

I had about £20 remaining in my wallet on PSN, that's all I've spent

And the only really good players I've got from packs were Nasri and Marcelo. I got a few good players but I've been playing matches, and doing a lot of trading, trust me I'm not sad enough to put my money on (the money that was on was remaining).

As I said already had it and can't take it out the account, so decided to put a little on! I know where you're all coming from but I've just got a 5% wage rise, I know what I'm doing with my money! I ain't that sad.

I'm very disappointed he didn't play with Liverpool.

Of course he would have been at a disadvantage then.

Built up a Scottish silver team that's been doing pretty well in the Silver Tournament.

Usual starting XI is (4-2-3-1):

Gilks

Hutton
Berra
Webster
Hammell

Ferguson
Brown

Maloney
Russell
Gardyne

Rhodes

Sort of wish I had gone with a formation that uses more than one striker because I've got McCormack, Goodwillie and Mackail-Smith on the bench who are all pretty good.

Got Yaya Toure and Hatem Ben Arfa in packs yesterday, just sold Toure for like 50k. Do I now guy buy packs or is it better to just buy players? Gold or premium?

Premium gold is much better but if you have your mind set on a certain side, then just buy them

An in form Matthew Connolly, valued at 27,000. The mind boggles at the value of some of these players.

Saying that, I would probably go to about 50,000 for in form Leeds players.

Was doing the cups in FUT earlier, was 1-0 down for pretty much whole game, then equalized right on the last minute Then went on to win it in extra time. Love doing that to people.
