The smart way to build an epic team on FIFA

We all love to play FIFA Ultimate team, don’t we? But for me the most frustrating part of the game is coming up against an online player that has a team filled with superstars. They have Messi, Ronaldo, a host of in-from players and you end up getting smashed.

How do they do it?

•          They could be really lucky when opening packs
•          They could spend hundreds on opening packs and getting the right players
•          They could play 24/7 to gain enough match coins to buy all the players they want

But in reality all of these scenarios are unlikely.

The top players on FUT get their coins the easy way – with FUTMillionaire you can buy and sell players for profit and build the most amazing team without having to spend big or play games night and day. It allows you to find the best trades and turn these into a profit to buy all the players you want.

But isn’t trading something that takes up a lot of time? I’d rather be enjoying the game.

That is the beauty of FUTMillionaire is that it is automated. You just simple set the players and the prices and our system uses cutting edge technology to trade these for you whether you are in front of the screen or not. Just open up the game on Xbox or Playstation to find that FUTMillionaire has done all the hard work for you and deposited the coins in your account.

Build the best Ultimate Team so you are the envy of all your friends. Get over to FUTMillionaire now so that you can start building your dream team.

Return to the days of Sensible Soccer with this new classic - Natural Soccer

In Off The Post looks at all angles of the beautiful game of football for all of my readers. I may be about to show my age with this look at an arcade soccer game that’s starting to take the world of arcade soccer games by storm.

I'm of the age where certain evenings were spent at a friend’s house playing one of the Amiga classic football games - Sensible Soccer. It was fast-paced, highly addictive and loads of fun. We used to sit up until the small hours of the morning saying to ourselves “Just one more game before bed, and college in the morning.” I often look back to those days and wish I still had an Amiga and I still had one of those games. As the statistics and superstars of FIFA and PES appeal massively to my children, I want something more of my generation, something faster, easier to pick up.

There's a game available that recreates games like Sensible Soccer and it's available on the Apple App Store, Windows, Steam, Ouya and Google Play. There’s a whole host of ways to download, open and enjoy.

It's called Natural Soccer.

And it’s a really great game to play. It taps into the inspiration of Sensible Soccer and is not simply a recreation of it, but an improvement. It feels like I’m back in my youth.

Natural is absolutely the keyword here, as it feels like a football or soccer game should – it is fast, the controls are intuitive and it is highly addictive. You will just play non-stop for hours on end and never get bored of the gameplay. Being able to It is what every video game in the world should be – easy to pick up but difficult to master. This gives you hours and hours of gameplay. The way the players and the ball move just feels right, which is something I know a lot of football games struggle with. The result is a game that flows so well and immerses you in the action – not in a smash-you-in-the-face way (like FIFA) but in the way that makes you just want to have fun. You can still score spectacular goals and play the game like a pro.

It has multiplayer capability so it’s great to play with friends. You can play with up to 4 players. There are over 200 teams to choose from so you will never get bored of playing, and will never run out of opponents to face. Challenge your friends to a game, especially if they are of a similar age to me – they will love the retro style but will realise that this is an up-to-date classic.

There is a league mode, so if you want to get serious and set yourself a challenge then this is a great mode to select. You start the league season and the best team wins the league. Use this mode to challenge yourself and see if you can lift the title.

I suggest that you just get the game and start playing. There’s no drafting, transferring or negotiation to work your way through as there is in FIFA 16 Ultimate Team. Just buy it, open it and start playing. There’s no better way to enjoy a football or soccer game on any platform.

Natural Soccer is a great game to play and a great game to share. Download it, get your friends to download it and you’ll all have hours of fun kicking around a virtual football until it’s time to go to bed – especially if you have college in the morning!

What do you buy the avid football fan for Christmas? How about this?

In Off The Post likes to take a look at football from many angles. It’s coming to the time of year where Christmas takes over. There’s planning your match schedules over the busy Christmas football period and buying football-related gifts for the football mad in your life to sort out.

As the Christmas season draws ever closer, there comes a time to consider the gifts you will get for your friends, family and work colleagues. One annual question is "what Christmas present do you get for the football fan?" The same old presents such as football shirts or books written by ex-footballers don't always cut the mustard. So what great (and different) gift can you buy someone who's interested in football?

I find that in the digital age, virtual gifts appeal to the young but are not the preferred way of sending a present. When it comes to reading a book, for instance, I want the feel of a real book. I want the feeling it gives, the smell it gives off and the physicality of holding it. For me, this beats reading on a Kindle or other reading device hands down.

There is a great gift available now for the avid football fan with discerning taste that wants to feel what they are reading.

It's the Soccer 360 Magazine Special offer and it can be found here www.soccer360magazine.com/giftsub.html

The magazine has a truly international flavour, and caters for readers that want to look beyond their own league or country and really find out what’s going on in the world of soccer.

Let Soccer360 magazine help to get them to the top of the game by learning all about the world of soccer.

The very next issue is the January 2016 edition. This features a Neymar 29" giant pull out poster for all you Barcelona fans out there.

Has the Champions League started to disappear? Read where it's gone to!

The Champions League in England and English football is going through a little bit of an identity crisis at the moment. The relative lack of success of English teams in the last few editions is a major factor. After the successes of the years 2005 to 2009 when we had six finalists (and two winners) in five years, there have only been two finalists since.

Manchester City have really struggled with the competition ever with the money they have spent, the stars at their disposal and their success domestically. Yaya Toure, David Silva and Sergio Aguero have not had an impact.

Last season Liverpool were a huge disappointment and this season has seen some very mixed results in the early group stages. There seems to be a real threat to our fourth place in the competition from Italy.

But it's not just the drop in results that is affectng the competition. It happened with the FA Cup when coverage left the terrestrial channels for a more obscure channel. It was one of the reasons that the competition lost some prestige and excitement.

Now that the Champions League has moved from ITV and Sky completely, the competition has lost some visibility. I feel that the newspapers cover it less, the sports news on the BBC and ITV pay it less attention and it disappears from view a bit more. The little erosion of visibility makes a big difference. I don't always watch the group games with great vigour but I'm not really watching much at all this year. When the knockout starts I might feel differently but the fate of English clubs will have a bearing on that.

The two Manchester clubs is rate about 50-50 before this weeks games, with Chelsea at 60-40 and Arsenal currently at 40-60 after the first three rounds. The problem can be with qualifying second in the group and a horrible Round of 16 draw. I love to see English clubs test themselves against European greats such as Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. But meeting these teams too early in the competition has been part of out relative failure since the last English winner - Chelsea in 2012.

Let's look forward to a successful and exciting Champions League this season and some good progress for the English clubs.
