Is FIFA 17’s Fut worth playing?
Fifa 17’s take on FUT is easily the most addictive version yet, but the age old problem of wanting to fill your squad with the best players in the world but not having the coins to blow on them still vexes. Thing is, like any system, there are way to play it to your advantage by investing in better players stuck in lower tiers.
What's new in FIFA 17?

How to do a driven shot in FIFA 17?
Thankfully, EA Canada has addressed the matter with the introduction of Driven Shots and Driven Headers in Fifa 17. To pull one off, you first need to get yourself into the 18-yard box, then when you think you've got a clear path to the goal, hold down Circle or B to power up your shot.
Be patient in your own half
Don’t be too hasty to slide in, or stick a foot in when defending, and play a patient method of football, holding the opposition at bay and ensuring they can’t advance or put a cross in. We’re not suggesting you let your opponent play in your half, just that patience is a virtue.
Relax with the sprint button
A common mistake among FIFA players is that you are always holding the sprint button down. For starters, this will fatigue your players quickly, which offers your online opponent a chance to outpace you all over the pitch in the later stages of a game, leaving you clinging for dear life as you just can’t keep up.
Offline, use the sliders
Not a lot of people bother to do this, but any negatives you find in the pace of the game, and generally with the difficulty you play on, can be tweaked for offline play. The gameplay sliders allow you to change the offline modes to really match your needs, and can go as far as speeding up the gameplay, or slowing it down.
Snipe FUT cards, if you can live with yourself
You know that guy who sits on an eBay auction, grabbing an item you want at the last second while you’re at work? Here’s a secret about him: while he’s deeply sad on the inside, he’s happy in the moment: he got the deal and you lost out.
When playing online, watch your opponent
There’s something to be said for researching and studying your opponent, because focusing solely on what you’re doing is a surefire way to get roundly beaten in an online match.
Have a varied team, and backup on the bench
Look, we all want to have Ronaldo, Bale, and Messi in our team, because they’re the best in the world, but can they cut it on a wet and windy night in Stoke, England? Yes, probably, but just in case, why not have a different type of player on the bench for those matches where the skill players just aren’t cutting it.
Practise the set pieces, penalties and skill moves
Love them or hate them: they’re not going away and the new set pieces (corners, free kicks, and penalties) will take some practice to stop you making a fool of yourself online. Hit up the practice arena, perhaps even have a runthrough of The Journey (which gets you to train a lot!) and get good at these new set pieces.
How to bury a goal if you beat a defender?
If you've beaten your defender and are one-on-one with the keeper, you might want to try a chip shot depending on how far out of the goal the keeper is. The idea is to time the shot just right, so that the ball arcs over the keeper and into the back of the net. It's a very situational shot, but if you notice that the keeper is out of position, it is a sure-fire way to bury a goal.
Does FIFA 17 have a skill trainer?
The good news is that despite the fact that FIFA 17 doesn't have a guide or tutorial in the game, it does have a live "skills trainer". The bad news is that all it does is cycle through the game's controls on offense and defense. That said, this trainer is very handy in exhibition games, as it'll allow you to get to grips with the different types of passing moves, shots, and defensive challenges you have at your disposal. It's also very helpful in set pieces like corner kicks.
