45 FIFA TIPS NEXT LEVEL!

TO TAKE YOUR GAME TO THE

ULTIMATE TEAM

STARTING OUT 1

BRANDON SMITH SAYS: “The great thing about Ultimate Team is that you can build from nothing. You can get great rewards if you’re willing to put the time into it!”

2

BATESON SAYS: “Squad Battles should definitely get you into it. You can get rewards from it to help build your Ultimate Team!”

3

ZELONIUS SAYS: “For your team, you’ve got to go for a league that’s got a lot of options – the Premier League is generally a good one!”

8 4

RICHARD BUCKLEY SAYS: “There are a lot of coin boosts in the in-game catalogue. You get the points to unlock these rewards from playing. This makes it easier to build up coins to keep your club going!”

SQUAD BATTLES 5

JAKE SAYS: “When you’ve got your squad assembled, complete all the Starter Objectives to help your coin and player hauls!”

6

PAZ SAYS: “Squad Battles are a really good place to see how awesome your starting FUT team is – test your skill here!”

7

HASHTAG RYAN SAYS: “Squad Battles are a great way to make coins. You can choose the level you want to play – that helps!”

SBCS

HASHTAG RYAN SAYS: “The Marquee Matchups squad building challenges are worth doing – especially if you buy beforehand! If you know that Arsenal are playing Tottenham soon, it’s best to buy Arsenal and Tottenham players two or three weeks before that. Then you can use them or sell them on for a profit!”

PICKING PLAYERS 9

BATESON SAYS: “Start by picking someone who gets you goals, whether it's be a left winger, right winger or striker. Then move down to centre midfield and get someone who can ping passes left and right, before picking a strong centre-back!”

10

BATESON SAYS: “With the attacking players you’re looking for pace – especially for the wide players!”

11

ZELONIUS SAYS: “You want really strong CMS – last year Tiemoue Bakayoko was cheap but quick and strong. For defenders, most pros will go for someone with pace!”

12

ZELONIUS SAYS: “Having a player with a five-star weaker foot really makes a big difference. Normally people can tell which way you’re going to go, but not with players like R9, Neymar and De Bruyne!”

SAVE FOR TOP STARS 13

HASHTAG RYAN SAYS: “The first big player that I worked towards was Cristiano Ronaldo – you can get midfielders and defenders cheaper, but no one-can do what CR7 does. He’s quick, tall, strong, can shoot from range and dribble well!”

DRAFT 14

HASHTAG RYAN SAYS: “A good way to make coins is by playing the FUT Draft. There’s the chance to get big packs and pack better players!”

BEAT YOUR MATES

CHASING A GAME 15

KETCH SAYS: “First thing’s first – don’t panic. FIFA matches always swing from end to end!”

16

F2TEKKZ SAYS: “Go to a more attacking system. Don’t go all-out attack until the last ten mins!”

17

HONEY BADGER SAYS: “Mix up your passing – and do something they might not be expecting!”

18

DAVID MEYLER SAYS: “Incorporate a few skill moves – like the dragback. It’s such a simple bit of skill but it creates space – it creates a pass!”

19

RICHARD BUCKLEY SAYS: “If you double tap shoot now, it’ll be a Timed Finish. If you time it perfectly, that’s when you’ll see the wonder goals go in! in!”

20

BATESON SAYS: “Have players on the bench who can come on and change the game. They need pace and to offer something!”

DEFENDING A RESULT SET-PIECES 21

F2TEKKZ SAYS: “I don’t shoot from free-kicks! I play it short and try to work the opportunity to get a goal, as there’s a better chance of scoring. From corners, sometimes I play it short, but other times I whip it to the front post!”

22

JAKE SAYS: “It’s risky to go defensive after taking the lead. If something’s working, you might not need to change it!”

23

F2TEKKZ SAYS: “If I’ve got a lead, I try to get more goals. If you play to hold the lead, you’re more likely to invite pressure!”

24

ZELONIUS SAYS: “Don’t dive into tackles, don’t rush. Don’t do what you’d want your oppo to do when you’re attacking!”

PASSING 25

DAVID MEYLER SAYS: “You need to pass the way you’re facing. If you pass it from a midfielder to another who’s facing the striker, your pass is more likely to make it!”

26

RICHARD BUCKLEY SAYS: “There’s more than one pass! You’ve got through-ball and you’ve got X pass. You’ve also got a driven pass – which is quick and accurate!”

PLAY UP 27

SPENCER SAYS: “The most important thing is playing people who are better than you. If you’re just playing your mate, who you’re better than, and you beat them 6-0 every time, you’re never going to improve!”

SKILL GAMES 28

RICHARD BUCKLEY SAYS: “In real life, if you’re no good with your weaker foot, you go into the garden and practise with it. That’s how you get better. Same in FIFA. If you’re not good at penalties, go into skill games and practise!”

UP YOUR GAMES

CAREER 29

STOBBSY SAYS: “Picking your team is really important. Look at the squads and the budgets – you need cash!”

30

ZELONIUS SAYS: “I think you need one really good striker who you can rely on to get the goals. I’d recommend going for a top attacker every time!”

31

RICHARD BUCKLEY SAYS: “Have a balanced team. Some people have a good defence and then bad strikers. Some people do it the other way round. I think it’s better to have an 83-rated team across the board rather than a 90-rated striker and a 75 defence!”

32

BATESON SAYS: “If you’re a possession-based player, try a 4-3-2-1 formation – but if you’re a counter-attacking player, 4-2-3-1 wide is the best!”

33

BRANDON SMITH SAYS: “With Dynamic Tactics, the way you set up your team is more in-depth than ever. You’re able to see exactly what you’re doing!”

PRO CLUBS 34

JAKE SAYS: “Play your position – you’re never going to win if your whole team is trying to play up front. Don't forget – someone has to defend!”

35

SHELLZZ SAYS: “I make Pro lookalikes similar to the likes of Ronaldo and Mbappe, but I’ll change the height to make my players the best I can!”

36

SHELLZZ SAYS: “I never like to lose, so I always look for fellow FIFA players that are good and play Pro Clubs a lot for my team!”

37

SHELLZZ SAYS: “When trying to win, you need the right style. So as long as there’s chemistry between the players, you’ll have a good Pro Club!”

MENTALITY 38

CHUBOI SAYS: “I think what sets the best players apart from the rest is keeping calm under pressure. That’s what it’s all about – making the right decision at the right time!”

39

BRANDON SMITH SAYS: “It’s very easy to rage and give up, but being able to keep your cool is a strength!”

40

ZELONIUS SAYS: “Keep your cool and keep the ball. By keeping the ball, you'll frustrate your opponent!”

41

BATESON SAYS: “Practise and learn. There's a high learning curve. Spend time in the game and perfect it!”

42

RICHARD BUCKLEY SAYS: “You’ve got to focus for that 12 minutes of that game. Just laser in on what the aim is!”

ENJOY YOURSELF 43

F2TEKKZ SAYS: “I think the main thing is just enjoying yourself. Stop playing when you stop enjoying yourself!”

44

ALEKZANDUR SAYS: “Just play and play to improve! If you want to improve, you have to play to win!

45

RICHARD BUCKLEY SAYS: “It’s not wins and losses, it’s wins and lessons! If you’re learning something you’re improving!”
