Which clubs do you expect not to see much any more?

My top ones are Man City and Rangers 😂

I've never faced one of either that doesn't use Smart Assist.

Smart Assist filter coming late May / early June, from Div 3 and up.

I assume they'll drop a bit rather than being right at the tip of the sword, but will make late runs? Or will they drop into gaps like a Fox? Or will they take on being the point man role like a Poacher?

How amusing that this came out today lol

Clearly he's got decent skill, he can do the double touch and Tess cancel nicely, but his defending is pretty poor (makes me feel better about mine!), and I see nothing particularly brilliant in how he's playing.

This isn't hating on him, he's clearly doing something right. But can someone explain what and how?

(This Read the Rules app is a pain in the arse. The short way to get through it is to go to this post, click the three dots in top right on mobile, and select "acknowledge I've read the rules". It took me 10 minutes to work that out.)

Don't spend until Smart Assist is removed or the filter comes and works.

There is no point.

With all the ongoing debates between F2P, P2W Smart Assist vs PA1/2 (and the ongoing bleed from one to the other), I have created a pop ranking of difficulty in this game. 

I'm noting my personal view that there is no "Meta" for FUMA, because it doesn't work the same. Further, I've excluded playstyle because everyone knows which the meta is and which the hard ones are, so you can add your own "shades of brown". 

It ranks from 1 (easiest to win with) to 8 (hardest). Do you agree?

1/ Full Meta tactics and Squad + Smart Assist

= 2/ P2W squad in unusual formation + Smart Assist

= 2/ Full Meta + PA1/2

3/ Strong F2P squad in meta + Smart Assist

4/ P2W + PA1/2

5/ Strong F2P + PA1/2

= 6/ Standard F2P + PA1/2

= 6/ Strong F2P + PA3

= 6/ P2W + FUMA

= 6/ Themed F2P + SA

= 7/ Standard F2P + PA3

= 7/ Themed F2P + SA

= 7/ Strong F2P + FUMA

= 7/ Themed F2P + PA1/2

= 8/ Themed f2p + PA3

= 8/ Standard or themed F2P + FUMA

I don't mean like covering passing lanes, holding the line etc but what button do you use to tackle?

Moving to cover lines? Match up? Manual standing tackle (what stupid me has been using)?

Was just chatting to an opponent who defended like Smart Assist and they said they basically just hold press (not constant, just for defensive actions). Am I the only idiot not doing this?

Lots of you are F2P players, and a lot of you use Smart Assist.

It's pathetic enough to use Smart Assist when you're F2P. But once you stop using free cards, especially all you who cleared that Anime box, carrying on using Smart Assist makes you *EXACTLY THE SAME* as those P2W players who use Smart Assist.

You are the lowest of the low, you are the shite on the foot of the sewer dwelling rat.

If you don't want to be scum, maybe turn it off 👌🏻 No more excuses now kiddie.

I've seen the tooltip but I assume it isn't some magic thing, it's not a different animation or movement like Blitz, so it'll be something more like Momentum Dribbling and the others where it adds points to specific skills (in that case dribbling, for Through Balls a percentage to passing when throughball is used etc)

So, my assumption is that Magnetic Feet will add a point to Tight Possession and maybe Balance and Physical Contact for each person - up to the four max - in close proximity?

AI players with it seem like they throw themselves to the ground to win fouls that aren't fouls but just wondering if there's any evidence of it doing useful things when it's your player.
