Updated my teams slightly
Frenchies
Anelka -- IF Gameiro
IF Remy -- Menez
M'Vila -- Sissokho
Abidal -- Sakho -- M'Bia -- Fanni
Lloris
I was finding Real Madrid Diarra really bad at shooting, headers, etc so replaced with M'Vila and i was finiding Marseille Diarra really slow but a tank, so i replaced him with Sissokho who's stats are better than any CM from Ligue 1 yet is only 77 rated, he beats Real Madrid Diarra in every area, yet he is 82, doesn't make any sense tbh.
Brazilians
Fabiano -- Pato
Neymar -- Robhino
Carlos -- IF Ramires
Marcelo -- Dede -- Luiz -- Richards
Fabio
im going to replace Fabiano with Welliton then see how he works in the LS position, if he doesn't then i will put Pato in the LS and Welliton RS. Fabiano is good, but too slow imo, need someone more active. Nilmar has poor heading and shooting, so he is out. Neymar on the other hand only has like 77 shooting or something yet has the best finesse shot in the game, it's magical, i mean he scores for fun, outside the box. Richards will move into my EPL team when i save up for Maicon.
Serie A
Pazzini -- Miccoli
IF Ramirez -- Giovinco
Cambiasso -- De Rossi
Taiwo -- TBC -- Ogbonna -- Abate
Buffon
i haven't played with this team yet, need to save up the 20K for Chiellini for the other CB spot, then i will slowly upgrade the team, this is how i normally do it, build a half decent team and upgrade a player at a time as i save up. People on my to buy list are - Chiellini, Cavani, Di Natale, Ibrahimovic, Silva, Vidal, Steklenburg, in that order.
The good thing about that is, i usually sell the player they are replacing, so if they replace an expensive player, i normally end up with a good starting point for the next player.
EPL Team
TBC -- TBC
IF Johnson -- TBC
TBC -- TBC
TBC -- TBC -- TBC -- Richards
TBC
On the to buy list are Cech, Santon, Kompany, Essien, Y Toure, Nasri, Dzeko.
Unsure on my other CB and Striker, this team is going to take ages to build (so many expensive players) so probably won't bother until my Serie A team is up to scratch.
The best bang for buck league is Ligue 1 by a mile, then probably Russian, then probably Serie A.
I'm finding every keeper in the game is too inconsistent, i can play somebody who has Stek and saves everything, then in the next game against him, i put away 6 goals. I think Casillas is the only one which is probably more consistent than others. Fabio who is only 81 rated, plays just slightly worse than Lloris for me who is 85, keepers are really crap in this version of fifa when it comes to finesse shots. I think Casillas is the only one who can save them regularly, he is a cut above everyone else, only problem is, I hate Liga BBVA due to their slow CB's.

Look up M'Bia
in fact just look at my team above
Evra is crap i have found, and not worth the coins, Abidal is better so is Cissokho, they have made him far too slow, plus the fact he is 5'8 or whatever doesn't help at all.

Why are there not any highly rated LB's in the game? Evra is the only LB with a rating higher than 82.
What gives?

Some teams from the EA forums
no defensive midfielders, crap LB and RB, needs Essien, Toure and IF Ramires in midfield tbh, because the top 3 are so good and fast. Looks like another idiot who thinks OVR > Stats. Lol the idiot is even playing 88 Van Persie a striker in CM.
this team looks solid, apart from Kalou, unsure on IF Balotelli, surely there is someone a lot better in the EPL?
CDM needs to be M'Vila or Sissokho and swap Sakho or IF CB with M'Bia, otherwise solid team
again zero defensive mids, all attacking players, but his backline and keeper is soo good, it may make up for it so maybe only need 1 defensive mid in there like Alonso or Mascherano in the centre.

Rating means **** all
Taiwo, Abidal, Marcelo, Cissokho, Santon are all solid
best thing is lower rating means cheaper players.
Also Ashley Cole is 85

You have IF Higuain there simply for the point of having an IF, his 86 card was dire and not worth the pixels is was projected onto, the 87 is a different matter, but now you are just getting black cards for willy waving and choosing style over substance.
In other news, I hate EPL backlines! Going to have to find a way to shoehorn a Serie A/Brazilian back 4 into my EPL team as I'm just not enjoying them (Except when I bought T Silva on!) Also after a few weeks of having teklenburg, Cech feels like a total step down, do not like him one bit!
Here's the current EPL that'll need to be adjusted, but looking at it, I should be able to do it pretty easily!
--------------- Cech ----------------
-- Richards - Kompany - T Silva (Covering while IF Terry sells, who was slow as all hell) - Evra
------------ Y Toure ----------------
--- Gervinho ------------- Young ---
-------- Silva -------- Aguero -------
-------------- IF Suarez ------------
Stewy, I need to see you for some 4-5-1 playtips I think!
How is IF Ramires compared with Y Toure as a CDM? Could actually make this work pretty easily! 
----------- Steklenburg ---------------
----Alves - T Silva - Lucio - Maicon ----
Then Lavezzi in for Young, and Reyes/Navas in for Gervinho and IF Ramires in for Y Toure.

he is crap for defending tbh, the only reason i have him in my brazil team is because the only options are, carlos, willians, gustavo and ramires. i need 2 cdm's, so one is automatically carlos, willians cannot control the ball and i hated gustavo in fifa 11, so ramires is the only choice.
i could try gustavo, but IF ramires cost me like 40K, and im basically keeping him as an investment, chelsea aren't on form and i dont think willians or gustavo will get IF's, so im hoping his price rises slowly. how do people rate gustavo compared with IF ramires?
how come Motta was brazilian in the last game but is now italian?
International career
Motta made his debut for Brazil in the 2003 CONCACAF Gold Cup. Although he played with the U-23 team, it was a full international competition, hence the international cap gained was fully recognized by FIFA.[14] He went on to appear in another two games in the tournament, and previously represented the nation at the 1999 South American Under-17 Football Championship.
Motta missed the 2004 CONMEBOL Men Pre-Olympic Tournament due to injuries,[15] but appeared for the U23 team in November 2003 against Santos FC.[16] Subsequently, reported claims that he wanted to be called up for Italy and possibly to the 2010 FIFA World Cup, as he possessed dual nationality – both grandparents from his mother and father's side being Italian.[17] FIFA granted players to have one chance to change their representing nation if they had dual nationality, but not for players who have already played in a competitive "A" match (non-friendly).[18]
On 6 February 2011, Motta received his first call-up from Italy, for a friendly against Germany, but an official statement from the Italian Football Federation declared it subject to FIFA clearance,[19] which was granted two days later.[20] He was replaced in the 63rd minute of the 1–1 draw by Alberto Aquilani.
On 25 March 2011, in only his second international, a UEFA Euro 2012 qualifier in Slovenia, Motta scored the game's only goal, following a 73rd-minute combination with Federico Balzaretti.[21]
weird how he was allowed to represent 2 different nations.
haha just beat a guy with
Casillas
Cole - Vidic - Pique Alves
Xavi Iniesta Robben
Messi Rooney Ronaldo
He went 1-0 up from a corner then tried to pass it around the back and ****ed it up and I scored. Went on to win 3-1, enjoyed it so so much

Current team
-------------Cech-------------
Richards-Kompany-K Toure-Evra
-----------Y Toure------------
IF Walcott--------------IF Nani
-----------IF Danny-----------
----IF Doumbia----Eto'o-------
Might swap K Toure out for IF Vermaelen, and fairly confident there will be a IF Richards out on Weds after his goal/assist yesterday!

I would prefer an Ibra/Falcao type striker instead of Eto'o but there aren't any in the Russian league, considered Drogba but that would mean having to swap Danny out 
Didn't want Walcott either, left footed right wingers >>>>>>>>>>>>> right footed right wingers.
at least the front 5 all have 4star+ skills and great dribbling

LOL.
When I win I get abuse. When I lose I get abuse.
Vidic - Pique in the middle makes me cringe. Like two big clunky walls. What is your team?

I am awful on Fifa, get serious game rage, send so many messages. I'm not proud of myself
I try hard not to send hate msgs to players that play like idiots but always just send a quick "gg".
I do time waste at the end of games if I have the lead and the other player is good, so, I guess I am just as bad.
