Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this “Julian Alvarez FC 24” thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a ride. I heard about this Julian Alvarez card, figured I’d give it a shot, you know? See what all the fuss was about.
Getting Started
First off, I jumped into Ultimate Team. I had some coins saved up, so I went straight to the Transfer Market. I typed in “Julian Alvarez” and, boy, there were a few different versions of him. I wasn’t sure which one to grab, but I ended up going for one of his special cards – I think it was the “Future Stars” one? It looked pretty decent, good stats and all that.
Building the Squad
After I got Alvarez, I needed to build a team around him. I already had some solid Premier League players, so I decided to stick with that. I slotted him in as a striker, naturally. Then I started tinkering with different formations. I tried a 4-3-3, a 4-4-2, even a weird 3-5-2 for a bit. It took some time to figure out what worked best with him.
First Few Matches
Man, those first few matches were rough. I was losing left and right. Alvarez wasn’t scoring, my defense was leaking goals, it was a mess. I felt like I had wasted my coins. I almost gave up on him, to be honest. But I kept tweaking the team, trying different tactics, you know, the usual stuff. Playing online is very tough.
Figuring it Out
Then, something clicked. I realized I wasn’t playing to Alvarez’s strengths. He’s not really a target man, more of a quick, agile type. So I changed my style. More short passes, more through balls, letting him use his pace and dribbling. And boom! He started banging in goals. Left foot, right foot, headers, he was doing it all.
The Results
- Wins: I started winning way more games.
- Goals: Alvarez was scoring like crazy, averaging over a goal per game.
- Division Rivals: I even managed to climb a couple of divisions in Rivals.
It was a complete turnaround. I was actually having fun again. I was happy that I made a good decision.
Final Thoughts
So yeah, that’s my Julian Alvarez FC 24 story. It was a bit of a rollercoaster, but I’m glad I stuck with it. He’s a beast of a player if you use him right. You just gotta be patient and figure out how he fits into your team. Don’t give up too early! If you’re thinking about getting him, I’d say go for it. Just be prepared to put in a little work to get the best out of him.
