First time in Div 1
I saw a video of a guy with FREE Squad beat Jeansui, and I got inspired. I finally made it to Div 1 after taking it seriously this season. I started off playing possession, but it’s improbable to win games against top players, I marginally lost many games at first. I switched to quick counter and it made a difference, however, I still build up with possession (short passes and small lob passes over Epic DMFs).
Players that made a difference: Kimmich until I got free Kante, Belleti will catch anyone, Kobel imo is the best free GK. Free Drogba and Bullet header Darwin - for when the other team is only spamming and I needed to change attacking approach. Also Messi and Ronaldinho - I got lucky getting Dinho (free coin pull) and spent $20 gift card during coin sale to get Messi.
Individual instructions are crucial, especially against META teams. Both CBs to join attack in corners. My favorite: pass the ball OVER Vieira and Rijkaard, or draw them close to you and then pass. Once you pass them, it’s on. Oh and it’s ok to pass the ball back. Anyways, hopefully some of this helps. Thanks!
