It will cost you the astronomical amount of zero pounds and zero pence. Its Free to Play. In short, yes, very similar to Overwatch. Different but samey. 6v6 though which is way better and all the heroes have landed very well so far.

I've given a few of each a go! DPS - I've tried a few, Black widow isn't bad as I do enjoy sniping and seem to be quite accurate, bucky I'm slowly trying to get the hang of, same with wolverine, however whilst playing ranked I've settled on Punisher, I think people massively underestimate his smoke bomb and zipwire, yes his guns are class but when team mates die and your up against it maybe 2 v 6 for a limited time, smokescreen then zipwhire to get the hell back to wait for your team. Also linking up with rocket or a good healer who gives you increased damage or bullets and your near unbeatable! Tank - Sorry but I will only stick with one on this and that is Groot, the guy is a legit cheat code, using your larger walls to help block damage, staying close to them helps heal you, then using your smaller walls, try if you can to put them above your enemies so they can't see and won't shoot them down, so then when activated will deal out some decent damage whilst using combination of R2 and right analog, his grenade bomb is pretty good also, going back to the walls, they can really help get you those extra seconds needed on the point, blocking off certain entry points for the enemy. His Ult is perfect for setting up a team mate who can deal some damage, grabs multiple enemies at a time and delivers some great damage, keeping them still for around 5 seconds which is more than enough time for someone to dish out some destruction. To sum up....GROOT IS KING! Healer - I have tried using Jeff and if used correctly can be an irritating little shit to the opposite team, especially if they are all occupying the point, his ult can take the whole team if needed and launch them clean off the map, his healing process via bubbles and water gun are good but you have to be accurate with that. My go to for healer though is Adam Warlock, I don't he's best being used as a more defensive healer, keeping out of site if possible, don't get me wrong, he can deal damage, if you build up his L2 beam and nail it, easily capable of nearly eliminating someone, combine that with his regular R2 move and it's pretty decent combo, his healing is fantastic though, constantly being able to pick which team-mate to heal via R1 then also using L1 to share the damage throughout your whole team which if used properly is a God send, his ult if timed right is perfection, I think if you use it within 5/10 seconds of team mates dying, can all be revived instantly! So yeah my go to guys are DPS - Punisher Tank - Groot Healer - Adam Warlock Favourite Player - Groot!

How much is this? I've been wondering when we were gonna get another good game. Is this another Overwatch?

Currently my favourite characters are: Bucky (Winter Soldier) - useful for dealing damage to tanks as they move towards the objective/rest of the team and good combos against DPS/healers. Invisible Woman - has taken over from Mantis for me as can solo heal a team with her and also contributes a lot to DPS. Scarlett Witch - the easiest character to use on the game imo but also quite cheesy. Have to be more strategic with ultimate ability as easy to get shot doing it. Also like Moon Knight, Iron Fist, Squirrel Girl 🙂 I usually avoid tanks as not my strongest point but I’ve also not really used any yet.

Thanks Matt @Luseth! Really appreciate the update ❤️ In terms of what I've done in the past a few things I followed, more because it felt right. If you're pro is a defender and you've kept a clean sheet, I give them a clean sheet If you play ANY and you are in the defence, I'd give a clean sheet. I'm pretty sure early days if you played ANY and your Pro wasn't a DEF, then I didn't....but I may have changed that nearer the end as it didn't feel right, especially if ANY controls 3-4 of the defence. They are still defending way more than anyone else. Regardless of Pro, ANY would receive any assists and goals as well as Yellow and Red Cards. Wouldn't look right if you won 3 games 1-0 and the ANY scored all 3 with another player, yet the stats show absolutely no goals. CDM early on didn't get clean sheets. However in the last few FIFA games I changed this stance. If a player was actually playing CDM properly - and usually we call out who is CDM, then I would give them a clean sheet. It seemed pretty clear the likes of James, myself or someone like Martin, we'd say 'I'll play CDM' and the game flowed like that as they sat back. I don't think it fully matters in the end, as anyone could argue their contribution to a clean sheet in a game - even striker if they come back in a specific game - but CDM probably harbours the most credit alongside the defence and GK in most games. Its nice that you are being generous to Tom though...I swear I had him on about 7 AFK's on this Monday night alone! 🤣 But at least its making it clear what we all knew all along 👀🤣 Its great to have stats back. It just gives you something else to look at and maybe help to create objectives for ourselves and each other. I'd love to get back to creating FG Medals for games again so if this keeps going then I'd be up for creating more if it warrants it.

The past few games on this have been a little frustrating, partially because I can't work out where we are going wrong. Even when we have good games as a group we still seem to lose so I have opted to have a break from it the past few evenings. As for my go to characters, they differ from the suggestions above and that's because they much more suit how I play - Tank - My go to tank is Peni everytime, she is such an aggressive tank and if you have a good healer behind you, you can really wreck teams. I also have a few clips where I have used the Ult and held off or even killed the whole opposition team after the rest of my side has been taken out. You just sometimes have to be clever about where you position your auto mine device. DPS - I seem to be struggling a little bit with DPS at the moment. I had a good game with Scarlett Witch the other night, the first time she has really clicked for me but as good as her attack is the range is quite limited which means you have to keep darting in and out and timing it so you don't suddenly get pulverized as she is a little squishy. I enjoy playing squirrel girl as her explosive shots can cause some damage even from some distance away though I don't think I am getting the best out of her yet. Then playing as Mr Fantastic is like having an extra tank which is absurd. It's great for holding a point a little while longer after your team has been killed off but he is so frustrating to play against. Healer - I think Cloak and dagger is great, being able to switch to attack when required too otherwise Luna Snow is probably my other choice. Her speed can help you get into the fray as and when required but healing is quite easy to play with as well.

I am going to check my spreadsheet is adding the correct columns together. I don't think I have 6 clean sheets, thought I had 2 and I'm fairly sure Tom had 4 AFK's the Monday just gone.... I was doing it after we had finished playing the other night so was fairly tired and could easily have cocked something up. As for stats for any, I have been recording them based on the any's pro rather than player's the any is controlling. So back to clean sheet's I think I have 2 as I only had my pro as centre back for 3 games I think. Always open to suggestions though to incorporate going forwards but my thinking with any's is that if I put a goal down for every player I controlled as 'any' there could be some weeks I could be playing 2 or 3 more attacking players when you factor in CM's giving me greater chance to score or assist so if I'm having a good evening Macca or I could easily run away with the stats. The other thought I just had, I have not put any clean sheet's down for anyone playing CM (CDM?) Should I be? @GazzaGarratt how have you done the above historically?

🥲

I went to a reshowing of Seven at the cinema today. What a fantastic film.

Stats have been updated above for week 2 of 2025 ^_^
