***** The Official Fifa 12 Thread *****

I've bought Essien to replace Wilshere at CDM for the time being while I save for an IF Boateng. I've yet to see him play, but Cambiasso + Taiwo seem to be making a decent contribution. Taiwo is certainly less attack minded than Marcelo, but is definitely more solid. Almost plays like a quick CB at times.
 
For the people who are saying Essien, Toure, etc arent that good at CDM. you really do need to start using custom tactics, the difference it makes is like night and day.

In my formation i put all 4 defenders and 2 CDMS to low attack and high defense. i then put my 2 CAM and 2 Strikers to low defense high attack, this is the only thing i change, i dont move anyone. thing is you only get 30 seconds to do it, so i normally change the back 4 and cdm's then save, then do the cam's and the strikers then overwrite the save.

you only need to do it in the first match, every game you play after, all you need to do is pause and set the custom formation.

the downside is, you lose it every time you turn off your console. therefore next time you boot it up you need to do it again.


now i am finding my CDM's running back and automatically tackling strikers running at my CB's, im finding my CAM's staying at the half way line, rather than running back to the box and im finding my strikers playing on the shoulders of CB's waiting for through balls.

it is amazing the difference it has made. so much easier to defend and so much easier to attack.

another thing to note Cisse is amazing, omg he is like the Benzema of Serie A, in fact he is better because he can score headers.

Pato -- Cisse

Di Natale -- Robhino

Vidal -- Cambiasso

Taiwo -- Chiellini -- Lucio -- Maicon

Steklenburg

im finding this team is just amazing, so good in fact im thinking that Cisse may even be better than Pato, he just runs past CB's and they usually don;t have time to react he is gone.

Di Natale has an awesome right finesse shot to use when he comes inside.

Vidal and Cambiasso with custom formation are just BOSSES.

Whole backline is solid although Chiellini for some reason does seem shaky when it comes to headers. He is only 6'1 which i think may be the problem, like even those stupid over the top through balls, he just seems to miss time them. hopefully be able to replace Lucio with Silva, although i may replace Chiellini with Silva, will need further testing to see who is the better CB.

Steklenburg is just cheating, he makes saves look easy, i mean he is the best keeper in the game, without a doubt, if an IF comes out, he will be like IF Van Der Sar last year, unbeatable.


EPL Team is fully finished

Dzeko -- IF Balotelli

IF Johnson -- Nasri

Essien -- Toure

Enrique -- Kompany -- Toure -- IF Johnson

Cech


The only players i could maybe change are Dzeko for Drogba (maybe) and possibly IF Balotelli for SIF Ba.

Otherwise the team is perfect, plays like a dream. Cech is the Steklenburg of the EPL.

How do you do custom formations in UT?
 
Cech is certainly NOT the Steklenberg of the EPL.

He's probably not even in the top 5 of keepers, makes so many mistakes its unbelievable,

Cech is pretty darn good, good for crosses, corners, finess shot, power shots...until a player runs diagonally towards the goal and regardless of the power of the shot it will go past him without fail.
 
I think divaboy on here will backup my claims, he scored an absolute ridiculous goal with Podolski past Cech, he's a liability and had him twice in this years FUT.

Given is a better keeper!
 
Hart always seemed to be the most solid whenever I play against EPL teams. I would have probably said last year was Reina, though this year he's absolute trash, makes a howler every time I play against someone using him. Way too flappy and he palms weak shots into his own net, must be all that exposure to the sun that his brain gets, needs to invest in a wig or a hat.

Until Hart does Superman air dives! :o
