I was gutted for you buddy, I think we've seen you improve over recent weeks so hopefully you can be back in the pack this week! And don't apologise for them, they weren't a bother at all 🙂

Thats still pretty good though. 64 players isn't seen these days enough so if it helps fill lobbies, then lets look at that as a positive.

Maybe I need to create an OCD FG Medal for us weirdos that love this place too much 😄

I had to the upgrades to the entire site so in addition in made some of these elements live ahead of when they're actually ready to be used! 😅 We always knew this would be the way, so keep watching this space and over the course of the next few weeks you'll likely see these expand and re-run as we tinker with the points and ranks system around it. Doing it as quick as we can though! Hopefully the little updates you can see already will be enjoyed!

Whilst i'm not condoning whatever he did on the night, I think its been clarified these are from over 4 years ago. I've seen the pics don't show a great deal of things that went on - more that he fell asleep and that some girls took some photos. It really could've been anything, nothing or something bad, nobody knows.

Happy birthday @Mazzer66 !! Hope Gary @wapntake got you something nice!! 😄😎💃

He wanted to stay at Man United to fight for his place. Ole said he was happy to keep him based on his performances last year which makes sense for them to give him a go as he was in the best 11 side for the whole of the PL in the second half of the season.

What's the release day for this?

How have I missed this?! This seriously looks like an amazing feature and something that pretty much is right in FG's sweet spot. Is there any news that this is fully available for all PS4 and PS5 players?? I wonder if there are any restrictions of any kind - all the trailer ideas looked amazing, especially the shock medics against ze Germans with only knives!

Is it just me or this year is definitely quieter all round on the transfer news. I think its not surprising as clubs are having to try and stay afloat after the pandemic in the main. Its funny cos I see my clubs fanbase eager to see people coming like every year without them realising we aren't made of money like virtually 95% of all other clubs out there!

I probably need to watch a condensed video on this to understand how it all works. It looks pretty cool looking at a few streams today but want to know how the quests work and how much fun stuff you can build, etc. The stream I was watching had 25k views and the game lagged out on him so yeah, i'm seeing what you guys are saying above already!

@datfroggieguy John, i've managed to get on the game and send you an invite to the FG clan buddy. Sorry it took so long to sort but the download issue seems to have been fixed since the last update!

First few weeks have been a great turnout so far. Lots of racing and swapping positions and fun overall. Personally, had a great first week and a bad second week. With more of us online we're definitely more likely to have more mishaps so I'm keeping fingers crossed it'll balance out in the end! Oh, and thanks Nick @Bluebear for filling in to be teammates @JBR-Kiwi . Also great to see @Diddums turn up again alongside @LordBaguette who was even more impressive cos he didn't CBA!

A super cause @Antpool84 and I'll happily donate shortly too! Go and smash it bud! 👊😎❤

I totally think we've got our money back here at FG with the ones that have played Pro Clubs together. Its ridiculous to think how we've played that game mode alone. However, I do think it will be some time until we switch across to FIFA 22, possibly dependent on people's funds and when the amount of people are still playing Pro Clubs on 21 rather than 22. I think we all just hoped they'd be something to push EA to improve their game a little more than they do today. I swear the Pro Clubs engine is 4 or 5 years old as its just a different game to FUT and even Co-Op Seasons. Its a gold mine for game modes such as Pro Clubs and even Co-op Seasons but they don't have much incentive to make massive changes.

Is this that intrigues me like we spoke last night. Although looking at the cost currently, I do think its a little on the steep side. I totally get this and I think it makes sense depending on what games you like to play 'on the road'. When it comes to indie games which are the main games i'd probably play on hols, I don't have much care for them so I usually end up buying those games on PC where they are really cheap (or free) and keep my switch for unique games that are available. If they could bring the cost of the largest memory down to as close they can get it to 300 they might have a chance but considering next gen costs around 400-500 it needs to be more competitive to push people to buy this instead.

Weirdly, I didn't actually mate but I certainly want us to think about if its fun for others on the night rather than win at all costs. We all know a little gap ends up making any of our games great just like when we play GTA Races on FG Friday. I'll stick up the usual MNF as per usual and will think about what we can do in the coming weeks.

1 million percent this dude, totally agreeing with all of that! At the end of the day all of the additional stuff we do is for fun and cant ever feel like work. Yes, how I tackle quite few bits in FG is similar ways to my work mentality but if I can see a few people that are happy with it in the end then its worth it. FG has always been skewed in terms of effort in to how much benefit you get out of it...I think that's why we're unique cos some of us love just making one person happy for all the fancy fluff 😄 I think when we're in the moment of loving games and in that sweet spot many love that we get the extra stuff...but equally I know they'd rather not do it too! 🤣 I think we'll see what easy things I can come up with then and how easy/quick it is to create and share things which always add to our gaming sessions. I'd be lying if I wasn't proud that if I had a great night I could go back and see my name and stats in the team all shiny and shit - its kinda those moments that make us remember those games and laughs. One thing you've said to me before is some of our mini moments are great and we should share on things like TikTok...so definitely gonna give that a whirl for us! Cheers for responding so quickly Jordie ❤

I know when its written in black and white in can always sound stronger than it is so don't get me wrong, happy to crack on and continue! But to keep it fresh we should definitely ramp up some ideas to start in the future. We can do at the same time surely. I want to get into a place where a quick match report and pre-buzz can go out to everyone as sometimes when you can't play its still great to get insight to what went on and what lolz we had. Using social media to push it out, etc. But clearly its another ask for help from my side. We all love it when its all happening but one person can't do it on their own for a sustained period of time. I'd also say we need to really remember not to get too sweaty on the game too. Always a fine balance but we need to encourage everyone playing regardless of skill as that's why we're getting enjoyment out of it to see everyone progress.

Maybe this is a good thing. We've been saying for ages we need to get away from yearly purchases for very little gain between games.

So at the moment, kit 3 has one more vote than kit 1 so looking to pick this up again. What do we all think about having a kit bought in bulk if we can create the one that wins? Do we think that we want to change the kit into something different or even into different colours e.g. switch the main colours around so it looks like an Away kit perhaps, etc? Respond if you think you'd want to get one so its worthwhile me taking the next step and push it out for other FGers that may want a fun FGFC football styled top even they don't play FIFA.

Stop you say?! Now?! But whyyyyyyeeeee? This doesn't mean to stop fully nor am I suggesting ad-hoc FIFA carries on whenever you guys wanna play. My thoughts are that we've managed to keep Monday Night Football going for at least 7-9 months now with massive success at getting many FGers involved with everyone, including @jordie1892 's great idea of having a mini tournament in honor of the Euros this year. I'd hate for it to get stale in any way and considering some of us will be going on holiday in August as most people do, alongside the upgrading and updates we've got to do on FG across the next 4 weeks. So, with all that being said a few questions. Shall we have formal extended break from Monday Night Football over August (not stopping any ad-hoc events or catch up we all wanna do)? And what stuff shall we do to make us come back and really enjoy it next time round? On the second question, a few things i can start with is we should remember to keep having the fun regardles of what Division we're in. The best moments have come from huge cock-ups or when we're already having a laugh. We can't lose that. I'm also thinking if we prep beforehand we could do alot more, for instance creating a mock up of a teamsheet like @Lurch tried once before and we can make better use of time for capturing stats, etc. Obviously you could request we start again but which i'm on the fence about cos i'm not sure that adds anything if people play in more than one Pro Clubs team in FIFA. So, over to you! Really want to keep the interest going and keeping everything exciting and fun so we're all looking forward to Monday's (or even Super Sundays too). Cheers all. P.S. If you haven't seen the Achievements topic in Site Info recently, I also intend to add some medals/badges we can all earn by playing FIFA with FGFC moving forward too 😄

Kinetic air battles? @Lurch one for you that is and your tall builds. Looking online it seems to have a few extra bits: New explosive sprint feature - high risk and reward when it comes to shooting if mistimed new attacking tactics - for when you enter the attacking half 4 new skill moves this year: the scoop turn fake the four touch skill (important for when you're on the sideline) the skilled bridge the first time spin c. 90% First time skill moves can be used to control the ball More stats Goalkeeper refresh - possibly harder to score goals No new news on game modes I can find so far.

Okay. Well, breaking the annual mould of releases is what we all wanted i'm sure, but I didn't expect it to go this far. I'm not sure how to feel at the moment considering PES has given me so many great moments when I was a kid. Free 2 Play, and its starting to gradually roll out content over the course of the year. Frustratingly, they need to review the game modes as they really could take the mantle off FIFA if they put a version Pro Clubs in there. I also feel like it removes any pressure off of FIFA making their product the best it can be. The game might feel completely different when we try it out but I can't deny that trailer looked a little shite if i'm honest. Roadmap is below: I suppose we can all at least try it out when it becomes available so we can fully say if it is the right path to go down or not.
