The solution is to actually watch football.

This seems like a troll/snarky post, but you would be very surprised at how many people play this and never actually watch/follow the sport. I'm US East though, so perhaps this could be why I meet so many people who are completely disconnected from the sport itself.

If you don't watch football and just try to create 'meta' builds, you run the risk of becoming aimless and ineffective.

If anyone is reading this and has issues right now:

1. Go find a club you like (I personally would avoid the MLS lol...)
2. Find a starter in the club who plays your current position
3. Study your favorite player's gameplay and try to mimic their style when you play online

People who watch football regularly don't have as many problems, because with a team full of real people, there are always things that can be done AS A COLLECTIVE to help fill weaknesses that appear (nerfs, patches, etc).

Pace spammers probably didn't put enough points into stats that matter for their position/role because they view football as a "me" sport - Football is a team sport.

My favorite player is a defender, so I model my clubs character build after him, I play like him, and as a result, I do very well online.

Looking for more people to run EAFC Pro Clubs with ⚽
We usually have 3–5 of us on most nights after work, usually around 9–10 PM EST. We’re a chill group of guys who met through school and Reddit, and we’re just looking to add some more people to the squad.
We love talking footy, basketball, talking shit to each other (all jokes 😂), and just having a good time with some general banter.
No egos or tryouts, just looking for chill people who wanna run games consistently. We’re all willing to switch positions and play whatever helps the team win, so we’d appreciate people who are the same way.
If you’re looking for a group to run with, feel free to hit me up! 🤝

We will be on 3PM-8PM Est playing some casual division games and friendly. We are open to all.
Club Name: El Fayzzz
Discord: https://discord.gg/BmC9uAsSD

We are also trying to build a competitive team.

So I just logged on since the update and this year I wanted to mainly run incisive gold on my magician, last year I ran first touch. WHY IN THE WORLD did they say take out attack positioning (which was horrible) just to make SPRINT SPEED a requirement for a passing perk. I hate this cuz I usually don’t have 90+ pace till later down the levels, but now I feel forced to spend points on a attribute I don’t find super important early on, that’s frustrating. And if u have any type of football brain how does sprint speed affect my ability to play a through ball??!!?!?!??😂😂😂😂😂😂 these people are stupid my goodness

Anyone can join my club ‘Inter Maastrich’. I play 4-3-1-2. Region: south europe

I'm looking for a club where I can have fun, play as a team, and enjoy the game together.

I'm in the European region and can play as a CM, CAM, winger, or striker.

I'm online right now, so if anyone is looking for a teammate to play with, feel free to message me! Let's have some fun!

why am i forced in this queue why can’t i join the world without going through this first that will seemingly take forever

Dribbling Attribute 89 with Attribute Off and then instead of gaining 2 with active boosts and another 2 with mastery i get minus 6 to a total 83?

is this a bug?

I asked Google Ai. It said 97, but you can’t always count on Ai to give you the correct answer.

Now its at least 10 goals per match...anyone noticed something strange?

Loaded into a game with my friend, we went 1 nil up and they subbed in another player. As soon as they did its like they put sliders on. We couldn’t move and they were scoring from ridiculous positions. They also had 5 playstyle +’s.

If you see this team or these players report them and just don’t play against them. Bunch of sad tossers.

What to do with my marauder now?

I recently started a new Pro Club called usual suspectz and we are looking for more players to build a solid group and play together regularly! We have currently around 8 regular players plus few more
Club Info:
Club: usual suspectz
Region: 🇬🇧
Crossplay: Welcome
Age: 18+
Playtime: Most nights around 6pm till Late
Positions: All positions welcome
Goal: Reach elite
What we’re looking for:
We’re looking for team-oriented players who enjoy tiki-taka, quick passing, good positioning, and unselfish football. You don’t have to be amazing, just have decent game awareness and be willing to play as a team.
I personally play Cb occasionally lw Versatile players are especially welcome so we can rotate positions as the club grows.
Club Vibes:
The goal is to have a chill, friendly environment where we can joke around, make friends, and enjoy the game without toxicity or blaming each other for mistakes. We still want to be competitive and climb divisions!
Since we’re a new club, we might start with Rush or Drop-Ins until we have enough players for regular league matches.
I’ve already set up some formations and I’m working on unlocking club Tiki Taka. I’m open to tactical suggestions and eventually looking for a few reliable members to help manage the club.
If you’re interested, comment or DM me for the Discord!
No pressure to play every night. Just looking for good teammates who want to have fun, improve, and grow the club together!

Eat the fattest dick ever EA SPORTS

Quick follow-up to my last post. Credit where it's due: EA pushed another update on 10/23 and it sorts out the issues from that post. Here's what changed, plus the Lv.55 Signature and Mastery tables in one place.

What changed on 10/23

• Att. Position is out of the requirements again for the four forward specializations – the "rollback" from my last post has been reverted. The other two stats didn't change:
  • Spark – Selfless (Joker) → Whipped Pass+: Curve 90 / Crossing 92 / Long Passing 90
  • Magician – Silver Platter (Invader) → Incisive Pass+: Sprint Speed 90 / Vision 90 / Long Passing 92
  • Finisher – First-Time Finisher (Hunter) → Gamechanger+: Balance 90 / Finishing 90 / Curve 92
  • Target – High-Speed Shooter (Runner) → Rapid+: Sprint Speed 92 / Strength 90 / Aggression 90
• Double Enforcer is gone. Target's Runner specialization now gives Rapid+ instead of Enforcer+. (I guessed Power Shot+ – EA went with Rapid+.)
• Shot Stopper had the same problem, just less talked about: Octopus (Anticipator) gave Deflector+, and Deflector is Shot Stopper's second Signature. It's now Footwork+. Requirements unchanged (Strength 90 / GK Diving 92 / GK Positioning 90).

So right now no archetype has a specialization PlayStyle+ that duplicates one of its own Signatures.

How Signatures and specializations work now

• Two Signature slots: Signature 1 becomes PlayStyle+ at Lv.20, Signature 2 at Lv.55 (it's a normal PlayStyle before that).
• A specialization's PlayStyle+ replaces one of the two Signatures – you pick which slot. The one you swap out can still go in a regular slot as a normal PlayStyle.
• Only one specialization can be equipped, and its perk is active only while its PlayStyle+ sits in a Signature slot. Meeting the stat requirements alone doesn't activate it.
• Regular PlayStyle slots unlock at Lv.5 / 15 / 40 / 55, so four at Lv.55.

Signature PlayStyles by archetype

Mastery bonuses (Lv.10 / 30 / 55) Permanent, and they apply to every archetype you use, not just the one you levelled.

Pattern: Lv.30 adds +1 to the second Lv.10 stat, Lv.55 adds +1 to the first one, so every archetype ends at +2 / +2.

All of this is in the statifybuilder.com

If anything doesn't match what you see in-game, let me know in the comments.

Does anyone know the exact height and weight requirements to get the Lean or Stocky body types in FC 27 Clubs?
I’m trying to figure out:
Minimum and maximum height for each body type
Minimum and maximum weight for each
Whether specific height/weight combinations trigger Lean, Average, or Stocky
Whether archetypes affect body type or if it’s strictly based on height and weight
Has anyone tested the exact thresholds or found a chart showing all the requirements?
Appreciate any help!

jumping and physicality help with shot-stopping?
