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

I play a Barclays prem league 442. All the players in my team are a 442 formation as well so I have 100 chemistry. If I buy players that are say 433 or 41212 and put them in my team will it lower the chemistry?

Secondly what are people talking about when they say 'IF' messi and 'IF' Aguero ect? Is it something to do with the different type of players such as shiney/black background ?

Your overall chemistry will still be 100 if it's a couple of players in the wrong formation, their individual chem may lower a tad (probably go to 7 rather than 9) you won't see any difference.

IF means In Form. EA release these black cards each week, basically who have done well in real life will make the team of the week and have the IF card released.

Cheers Andy, do you know what formations will be ok with 442?

Ah so that's why the IF players are more expensive, they are a better version of the normal player. Do they loose their IF ability after a week?

Anything with 4 at the back will be fine tbh, I used to have my subs that were in a different formation and they never altered chem really when brought in.

The IF cards don't run out, so they'll always be pretty expensive.

You should have kept Messi

This.

Just a theory here, I'm taunting the idea of dropping IF Boateng for now, few ideas for a replacement:

Cambiasso (Although no chem with Alves at LCDM)
Roberto Carlos - Deceptively low rating, fits in the team like a glove and plays a thousand times his rating!
SIF Naldo: Big, pacey for his size, good tackling, good shooting, 80 long pass 97 short pass, 99 standing tackle, 99 shot power, the only thing that could let him down there really is his not so good dribbling, but I think he would actually do better with his lack of jumping etc.. as a holding CDM more than a CB.

Also, any opinions on Kaka for 4-2-2-2 CAM? Not sure if he's gonna be too slow or not? Wanna replace Robinho, so I'll be sacrificigin speed & 5* skills for the ability to bloody shoot and a bit less pace.... thoughts? :D
 
Gonna try SIF Pepsi for a few more games, then I'd like to try out SIF Higuain again. I had him and SIF Neymar up front a little while ago and they're were really good. Might even try them both out again.

Probably should have kept Messi, but that's half the fun of the game, it's all fine and well winning most games I play, but it's nice to try out new things, even if they're not as successful. I've played about 300 games in about a month or so, and there's what, 9-10 months left? There's plenty of time for me to pick up Messi again, and what with future in-forms, it's nice having the ability to try out these things.

I'm definitely liking Iniesta though, he seems to fit in really well in that right CAM position.

What does a shiny card give you over non-shiny of the same player?

The non-shiny player is 'common', while the shiny one is 'rare'. There are only one type of card per player, so there's only the shiny Aguero and only the non-shiny Adebayor. Then there are the in-form cards which are Black and Gold which are improved based on their real-life performances.

There are also eventually Uprated/Upgraded versions that aren't in-form, last year Nasri got a rating boost, as did Bale (from 82-84, I think), Nani too, but I'm not sure when they come out.

The back 4 looks solid enough, pretty standard, Essien could maybe be sold, get Song in, much better overally I found especially as a lone CDM, personally in 4-1-2-1-2 I took a massive liking to Aguero at CAM as he pushes up hard and turns it intoa 4-1-2-3, which was what I wanted..

How many coins left in the bank/could be invested into the team?
