Yeah, as much as I love Pirlo and he's good at destroying lesser players, he really becomes quite redundant in a match that requires an injection of pace to drive things.

Might be time to drop him and look for an alternative CM with nearly as good passing.

I think you hit the woodwork in the same way every game

Just got a Villa for 58k, gonna try and sell for a cheeky profit or if not just keep and play as a striker

 

[Robi]

I made hard work of that one, bloody woodwork!!

You're decent at attacking, you're patient, wait for a player to make a move and pass, problem is your plays are slow. I think you need to buy quicker ones really, Neymar is a great player to have in there.

+1 for Neymar. I had Pato, he's good yeah, but when I changed to a full Brazil squad he was outscored by Nilmar/Neymar every game.

Pato is probably slightly stronger than Neymar, but the ball sticks to Neymar's feet.

As much as I had issues with Villa, he was great alongside Torres in my team, what formation you playing him in? Don't play him as a long striker, too small in this it seems

 

[Stewy]

Not really sure, sorta fallen out with 4-3-2-1, don't like not having an CAM, gonna try a few more formations today, might have to revert to 4-5-1.

What about 4-2-3-1? THREE CAMs!

 

[Stewy]

Trying 5-2-2-1 atm, seems amazing.

 

[roband]

I guess it's ok if you have two wing backs who get forward enough.

5 at the back for my Prem team didn't work. Cole was fine at LWB, but RWB was a real problem. Put all sorts of players there, couldn't get them forwards enough

Ok 4-3-2-1 is awesome.

Are you using formation cards on your squad every time you go off a formation? Must be expensive!

 

[Stewy]

Nope but they're all Spanish so I still have ~90 chem.

Yes I am very undecided

 

[GreenMint]

How about plain old 4-4-2?

 

[Stewy]

Meehhhhhhh.

edit: I quite like the ridiculous defense a back 5 provides.

 

[roband]

I just put a bid down on a player without looking into his price elsewhere. Big mistake

 

[.Sean]

Ah I see. For some reason I hate not having 100 chem, even for testing purposes. I only play 4-3-2-1 btw. I think my playstyle isn't very "dynamic" and I can't do skill moves so overall I'm probably poor/average.

 

[Hilly]

A bit like real life then?

Indeed. he's prone to a moment!!

 

[Egon]

Has anyone else put together a French side for the new tourny?

I already have a ligue 1 side, so going to sell my ruskies and bring in a some more frenchies. Played against a guy with benzema last night and he destroyed me. So frustratng as I dominated the match but lost 3-1... he had 3 shots on goal

 

[Robert1986]

I suck so hard at this game its shocking.

 

[roband]

Puyol out. CDM Diarra in (wrong formation too). Rossi into CM.

97 chem. Will go up if I can find a CM to CDM card to put on my existing Diarra, who is the right formation.

Not bad. Then I can sell Puyol and maybe save for someone good

edit: got the CM to CDM card, applied it, swapped so Diarra had the correct formation - no increase in chem. Well damn.

Thought you were quitting

How much is SIF Neymar going for currently? Might buy some packs soon for some coinage. And I have an IF Neymar to sell if need be.
