There precedent for this, too: EA removed the fitness consumable a few years back. It was pointless, an extra stat that just made your players worse over time. With a radical change to EAFC 24 Coins chemistry, losing position changes wouldnrsquo;t necessarily be a bad thing either. 

I love building teams, it probably what I spend most of my time doing, whether by the Web App or on my phone. Irsquo;m a tinkerer, I love to try to work the latest players into my current team. Packing an untradeable Pedri last week forced me into all manner of workarounds, which eventually ended up in me completing the Ansu Fati objectives and doing the Isco SBC. My team is much better for it, too, but I often play Kenny Dalglish at 6 or 8 to get the chemistry working. He moves up top when the whistle blows, of course, but an Icon is the easiest way to link Fati to Varane. If chemistry changing, however, then Irsquo;d happily lose position changes in an instant if it means we have more of a challenge crafting our squads again. 

Haaland's Transfer Means Playing As Man City In FC 24 Is Cheating

Man City are already one of the best teams in the game, and Ive played with them myself a few times, but then it pretty normal for players to use the greats online. Im not asking everybody to start playing as Sunderland or Levante. It just the overuse of the single, predetermined best team that gets boring. Man City are currently an interesting team to play as because they have the striker dilemma - do you go with Jesus, or risk a pacy winger through the centre? Do you go for the technical ability out wide, or the speed, and where do you get the best out of KdB if you dont have a recognised striker. Liverpool are also interesting, because their midfield is sturdy but can be slow, meaning you need to play precisely through the middle before bolting off as Salah, Mane, Jota, or Diaz - once youve chosen which ones to drop.

Haaland seems destined to be a success at City. They arent struggling for goals but only one option upfront feels very threadbare for a team of their quality. Would Haaland have helped convert those three glorious chances they had before Real came back at them in the Champions League? Would he have capitalised on their FA Cup comeback against Liverpool? Would the League Cup have been adorned with sky blue again, would the title be sewn up? It could still fall apart. Shevchenko never really settled in England, Crespo was hit and miss, Werner has been a bit of a disaster, and despite his Premier League experience Lukaku has been poor all year. It feels like Im picking on Chelsea but theyve had some dodgy forwards over the years. I havent even mentioned the Mutu failure, the Kezman misfire, the Falcao saga, the Torres transfer, or the EA Sports FC 24 Coins Pato experiment.
