FIFA 17: Ultimate Team Mode Tips

The Ultimate Team mode is the most popular game mode in FIFA 17. Here you can build your own team from trading cards.

To begin with, you should buy some gold packs to build a solid team with a team rating of 80-85. You can buy Fifa Coins cheaply from some internet retailers. In Germany, the most trustworthy dealer is MMOGA.
The next step is to create a team with good chemistry. For this, the players must be of the same nationality, play in the same club or in the same league.
Then buy players specifically on the transfer market. Here it is much more likely to find a player who is not only good but also fits the team perfectly.
You should look around the transfer market especially at unusual times. German players are auctioned at the most favorable conditions at night, since only a few competitors then bid. You should avoid the prime time from 8-10 p.m. on the transfer market if possible.
Take advantage of the new Squad Building Challenges. For these you have to put together new teams from your unused players that meet certain requirements. You will then receive unique rewards.
You get another great player when you play FIFA17's single player campaign.

In the attack, the main thing is to score goals. In this practical tip, you can read how you can effectively use your opportunities.

When shooting, you have to make sure that you aim with the analog stick at the goal and fill up the shot strength depending on the distance up to the 2nd or 3rd bar.
In a one-on-one situation against the goalkeeper, there is often a chance for a lop (L1 or LB). But only try this if the goalkeeper comes out of the goal and gives you enough leeway. If he is too close to the goal, he can still run back and catch the ball easily.
For close shots, a shot with the right shoulder button (R1 or RB) is also recommended.
In addition to these types of shots, you can also fake a shot and play around the last defender or goalkeeper.
To fake a shot, press the pass button immediately after the shot button.

Defense is just as important as the attack. Even the best attack is useless if the opponent turns every attack into a goal.

In FIFA 17, "tactical defending" is used as the game system. This system is mandatory in online games.
As a defender, you first approach the ball-carrying player with the pass button. As long as you keep the button pressed, you will automatically run and sprint after your opponent.
Then use square or X to tackle and tackle with circle or B.
When you press RB, you call a second teammate for help.
However, in addition to the player carrying the ball, you should also keep an eye on the overall situation and the other opponents.
Try to keep the pace out of the game by preventing your opponent from passing and flanking.
With the left trigger you can push players off the ball - this also works in the sprint.

The talent of the players is also decisive for the victory. The 20 best players in FIFA 17 can be found in the next practical tip.
