Squad Building

In order to build an 85+ OVR Team, you will get help from high-rated elites and masters in your inventory. Place a fast striker in your squad who can run through the defense. In most of the matches, you will have to rely on your pacy wingers with the roulette skill move who can cut inside and finish curlers.

Cross Spamming is nowhere in the meta this season, so expect a tough time if you are willing to go down that route anywhere. Just cut in from the wing and curl it with your finesse. None of the matches in this chapter are too much difficult and you should finish them with relative ease.

The idea is to have a good midfield and defense to take the ball as quickly as possible and then slowly get in a crossing position for the striker. The matches are not really very hard and with a team consisting of cheap Elites and even Gold players formation supporting pacy wingers can be the way to go. For the games of this chapter use a 4-3-3 formation where you don’t need to defend much.

Additionally, since this chapter demands Spanish players you might opt to go for Spanish players from the bonus pack you get once you complete the Training chapter that you finish just after logging in for the first time in the game.

Claiming Carles Puyol

Yes, training levels won’t be inherited while making the exchange, so don’t waste those precious coins in buying 79-rated Golds at a higher price and then training them for nothing. The price of low-rated Spanish elites is currently at an all-time high, so be patient, take your time, look out for cheap Spanish elites from events, and use them. Remember, Puyol is here to stay along with the event throughout the season. So be patient and don’t rush!

FIFA Mobile 23 Torres Icon Journeys Tips and Tricks

Before heading out, here are some of the bonus tips and tricks to ease your way into getting Torres in FIFA Mobile 23.

  • Finesse shot spam often makes everything way easier than cross-spamming so just do it!
  • Don’t spend money on defense, most teams fail to score, and if they do just restart the game all over. Never hesitate to forfeit.
  • The Right-Wing is the most important position in all formations and for all the chapters. Have a proper fast right-winger who can also dribble well.
  • The best way to win quickly: play a couple of passes around the right baseline and dribble the last defender so RW can finesse. It’s either a goal, corner, or rebound for the striker.
  • It’s easy to beat anyone in penalties, just keep GK in the middle. For taking penalties, always aim at the right upper corner as powerfully as you can by swiping fast.
  • Again, not every goal is going to come from your right wing. You have other tools in your box, don’t be afraid to use them.

Remember you are playing against the AI not another human so the gameplay becomes predictable gradually. So don’t be afraid to forfeit if you give up a goal at some point, ever!

In the end, it comes down to more about commitment to tactics and staying focused than really being good at this game. Some of these matches seem impossible at times until they aren’t, eventually, things are going to line up, you’ll succeed and you’ll never ever have to play this match again.
