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

Normal Balotelli is a beast, his IF last year was Godly so i am not sure why not many are buying him.


Is Forlan good on this? really cheap this year and fancy trying him.

Any improvements? http://www.ea.com/soccer/fifa-ultimate-team/show-off#j8OQW0cYbcbVY

Might get Mascherano instead of Boateng eventually and then Pepe instead of Dede. What you guys think?

Lucio to LCB then Samuel or Ronachia or Mexes as middle CB?

Then get Vidal instead of Boateng?

or Pepe and Mascherano as you say.

Maicon for Abate (i know, i know but he is solid if you use a custom formation to tell him to stay back).

I just put IF Boateng up for sale and put Vidal back in as a CDM in my team, dont get me wrong Boateng is very very good, but i found his stamina to be extremely poor, even though he has the engine trait, and he is much better further up the pitch than he is in a CDM position.


Also put IF Glen Johnson up for sale and replaced with Richards. I was thinking of using IF Glen Johnson as RCAM and pushing Nasri to LCAM and selling IF Adam Johnson, but Glen is worth a lot more coins and had a red boot.

i should have 250K plus my two teams soon. god i love trading, i know how to triple my money now within a month.

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

Kaka's best position is a CF or a CAM in a 41212 imo, basically just outside the box with 2 strikers in front, where he can pass very well or shoot from outside the box.

As a wide CAM Robhino is 10 times better but place Robhino is a CF or centre CAM and Kaka is 10 times better.

i just put Boateng up too, Cambiasso is one of the best CDM's in the game, he was the best last year but this year he has a lot of competition, Carlos is a superb option too.

SIF Naldo is best as a target man in ST or CDM, whatever you do don't use him as a CB.

I really want Rooney again, he was so good but he's so expensive. If I could get him in for IF Balo I would be so happy :):(:mad:

I just got Aguero in for IF Bibotelli and basically Aguero = Better version of Cisse apart from in the heading department.

In fact im thinking of building a 3rd team since my serie A team cannot be improved upon and i dont know what CB's i want in my EPL team.

Benzema -- Cisse

TBC ------ Menez

TBC ------- Diarra

Marcelo -- Ramos -- Pepe -- The IF Guy with similar stats to Ramos

Lopez

need to fill the gaps, may be impossible for full 9 chemistry every player.

i just sold IF Balotelli, found him really inconsistent tbh, some goals he scored were screamers, others went straight at the keeper or wide. Aguero is his replacement. He feels a lot better, but he is 3 times his price tag.
 
IF Suarez is immense! In one game he managed to barge Pique over and volley in from a corner, then followed that up by beating him in the air to score from the next corner. The game after I played a Ligue 1 side and he managed to tackle the oppo CB, barge him over then slot one in the corner. :D

what you save on fitness cards, will pay for the extra contracts then :)

extra contracts? how so?

you only use 11 contracts per game, and 1 for each sub you actually put onto the pitch.

regardless of how many teams you have.

therefore i make a substantial saving, the only problem i have is, my EPL team is substantially weaker then my Serie A team, mainly due to the quality of CB's in the EPL.

so guys i have Toure and Kompany

should i get Luiz in for Kompany? or Vidic in for Kompany?

or get Vidic and Luiz combo?

:(

When i had him last year he was just amazing, scored from every distance. This year i can only afford the normal but he is similar to the IF, seems to score every shot.

Will have to save up for the IF or buy + attribute cards :D

Kompany and Vidic. Both quality defenders.

Luiz can be a liability, like real life really. I find Toure better.

Kompany hasn't really impressed me tbh, he is weak in the air too, i think im going to have to concentrate more when im using the team and see how im conceding with my current epl side and see who is the main culprit, i cant help but thinking Song should come back, he was a beast when i had him, i was hoping custom formation would iron out Essien and Toure. I think one of them may get the chop.

I think Vidic and Toure would be a pretty immense combination actually - haven't tried Vidic but only heard good things. Would be hard to justify so much on a NIF defender though.

I didn't like Toure at first due to his tendency to lose headers he shouldn't, but the rest of his game makes up for it. He is really consistent.

Luiz does some mad stuff some times but as I said to you on PSN, Kompany's ball control is terrible. If someone tries a chip through ball, half the time Kompany will give the attacker a second go at it with his trampoline touch running back towards goal.
 
Getting fed up of rotating players when fitness is low so if I build a second team I can just rotate teams instead? Do the starting 11 of the team I'm not using go back to 99 fitness or do I still need to put them on the bench/reserves?

yeah Kompany is the Chiellini of EPL, through balls are his kryptonite for sure.

Vidic in for Kompany is what i was originally planning on doing.

I'm going to need to mull it over 100K for a CB is ridonkulous, but i paid that for Silva.

I find Kompany fine for headers and he intercepts so well that I'm thinking he must have the Tactician trait. Song is brilliant as a CDM especially for 41212 as you need one midfielder to stay back, I found with Toure he didn't stay back or tackle that well. Only problem with Song compared to Essien and Toure is he can't shoot but that's ok as I have A.Johnson, Aguero, Suarez to do the shooting.
