Nope that wasn't it at all, my passes were noticeably slower than they normally are, and I'm pretty sure there is no CB in the game who is quicker than Nilmar but my opponent seemed to have found two of them... :/
I got that weeks ago..
Also, is it just me, or is Robinho completely inept at shooting? Seems to miss EVERYTHING!
He is a bit odd. Sometimes he can shoot rockets and others are pitaful at best.
I really don't understand the market.
I keep putting a 4-3-1-2 Doumbia up at 3k start, 3.8k BIN, nobody is bidding or doing anything. After trying for 24 hours (1 hour auctions), someone buys it out after 2 minutes?

Once I get my Xbox home (been at the GF's all week) I'll be ok to play in all and any future tourneys/leagues! 
Her net connection is flaky at best.
Tim, I saw your post about me losing to your team offline - I can not play against Aguero. He is too good. I never should have sold him, tbh.

hehe yeah, although I'm half gonna do the same after the tournie! 
Good games yesterday mate, was still learning the new team & thought they'd better play silly buggers with the ball a bit, although your late flurry in the 2nd showed how well it works when 2 people can actually play well on the same console!

Yeah, that was a new side for me too.
Having 2 players on one team is one of those things - it's great sometimes and awful sometimes. He's better at all the fancy stuff but I think I'm more direct and have better decisions on shot choices etc. It leads to arguments
"HIT IT! Oh, you silly ****er.." Hahaha.
But having control over player movement on runs and stuff is awesome.
Fully star swearwords!

Abidal has a lot of pace in this game and the last so that doesn't surprise me.
Andybtsn and any other people using a Brazil team, what do you think of 4-5-1? I'm bored of playing 4-2-2-2 as all it involves is 1-2's between the two strikers, plus my midfield isn't that strong.
Thinking of..
ST: Pato
CAM: Neymar
CAM: Nilmar
LM: Bastos
RM: Hulk
CM: IF Ramires
LB: Marcelo
CB: Thiago Silva
CB: Lucio
RB: Maicon
GK: Diego Alves

Pato is too small for 451 as the lone striker.....imo
How about:
-------------- Diego Alves/Julio Cesar ------------
----- Maicon - Thiago Silva - Lucio - Marcelo -----
Hulk - - Neymar -- Roberto Carlos - Pato - Bastos
--------------------- Welliton -------------------
Don't be fooled by Carlos' 79, the man is a BEAST!
In my eyes, Pato is WAY too weak and small as a lone striker, Welliton is fast, powerful, strong, good headers, definitely the man for the job if you ask me!

Needs more Diego!
Just got tonked 7-1. Wtf just happened. Every time I tried to defend the over the top balls my CB's just kept stretching their legs out and missing. Also I really do hate self injuries, Bastos out for 4 games for running apparently, Menez out for 2 for falling over.

Love playing the Barcelona team in UT. Play like the real thing. Passing is just so precise.
Xavi and Fab link up. Tore the defence apart with this move.

You have to change your whole game style with 451, it's a formation you have to be a lot more patient with, your build up with will need to be much slower, something I couldn't adapt too. That kind of play bores me, I did try it with an EPL side.
Do what I did, I had my 4222 Brazilian side and made a really cheap EPL side, 20k tops in 451. You can get all the players that suit it for cheap, Lukaku up front for example can be had under 1k. Then SWP/Pennant on the right, Etherington on the left. Try it, you'll know if you like it then and can sell your Brazil team to fund a better 451 one.
I think the technique used with the assist was the main highlight here, outside of the boot looks very nice.

There was more build up to it but it didn't save. I pretty much got stuck at his defence and couldn't get through then I saw a small opening and made the quick pass. It looked so much better with the full build up.
Its the weight of the pass from Xavi that makes it so good. Perfect pass.
One thing that seems to happen to me a lot is when I have the ball opponents can get the ball off me easily without seemingly having to tackle. Should I be using LT more to make more precise movements as it just seems to slow me down unless I am doing something wrong? I don't know any skill moves and generally just pass and move.
Most the time when I try to get the ball I can't and have to be patient yet they just seem to be in my way and win the ball easily and never create huge gaps like I would so that's why I assume I'm missing something vital! It's the one thing letting me down in my game :/
Any tips?
Also keep falling for buying packs as soon as I reach 7500 coins, mainly for the IF player achievement which I know will bug me so much if I don't get it! I've even had the open 100 packs achievement with no IF yet

I think people tend to use both Contain and Team Contain when the opposition has the ball, this means they're basically getting two people on you constantly making it easy to tackle, this can be dangerous obviously, you're taking two players out of the game so it's best to pass the ball when they get close. It's a very good way of winning the ball back though so you can also do it to them.
You have to be careful though about using Team contain as you will pull a player out of position and therefore gaps will appear in your formation that the opposition could exploit if they're good enough.
That's what I thought, thing is I've tried containing and teammate contain at the same time as a test which is fine but when they reach the player they just press them without getting too close which allows them to manoeuvre round me or pass it to space yet the opposition will be right up against my player and snatch the ball. Not sure what is causing that?
Mostly I'll just manually jockey/contain the player or try to intercept their pass and press with the CPU. I've had games where there have been 3 players homing in on my in H2H mode so assume that's a custom formation with full aggression, caused big gaps but didn't have long to think on the ball at all!
