What do you guys think of this?

4-1-2-1-2

---- Tevez - Aguero ----
------- IF Higuain -------
--- Lavezzi - Di Maria ---
------ Mascherano ------

Not sure about Higuain or who to put in defence though?

Higuain could be replaced by Pastore, Lopez or Zarate.

Try NIF Higuain first, see if you like him, if you do get the SIF. IF isn't that bigger improvement over NIF.

Also go La Liga defence, Argentina defence is rabbish.

 

[Jimbeam3678]

Have some coins burning a hole in my pocket from my failed ligue 1 experiment. Would vidic be worth the extra coins instead of toure or kompany?

Also as a target man to compliment augero is dezko worth buying instead of lukuka?

 

[K1LLSW1TCH]

Norway have some incredible silvers, really glad I made this team now. Just need IF Elm to fill my Swedish quota.

 

[Bunko]

Not been hugely impressed with my SIF Higuain, thinking of selling and just picking up the NIF/IF. Hell of a shot on him though!

I didn't mind the NIF and SIF, I didn't see a big difference between the two mind.

He just reminded me of a slower Aguero

Very true, a lot slower for 82 pace, feels like he's always running through sand

Well if I sell him and try the NIF I'll have a nice coins boost for a 2nd team. Thinking BPL 4231 as I haven't used that since the beginning. Any suggestions before I go for it?

[Psycho Sonny]

Selling my La Liga team. Thinking of a full Argentina squad (minus Messi) or BPL? Probably have around 300k to spend, what do you guys recommend?

Levezzi - Aguero - Di Maria

= very nice

they have zero defence and zero keepers of worth apart from Samuel who is crap.

it would need to be a serie a defence with zanetti and cambiasso in cdm or cm positions.

4321

--------------- Aguero -------

-------Lavezzi -------- Di Maria

Mascherano -- Cambiasso -- Zanetti

Marcelo -- Lucio -- Silva -- Maicon

-----------------Stek

not sure a 4321 would work with Masch + Cambiasso and Zanetti. Massively too defensive for me.

a 4231 would be better, with Masch and Cambiasso as your holding midfielders, with Lavezzi, Di Maria, Aguero and Messi up top (or Tevez, depends on how many coins you have!)

 

[Dan7]

IF Larsson this week, has to be!

 

[utajoker]

well i tend to play on the break with my wingers and cut inside to shoot, or o play through balls to torres or hernandez.

i am starting to work on my dribbling with nani who just has magnets in his feet as he never loses the ball.

i definitely play counter attack rather than big build up.


i have tried doing build up play but i get to a few moves around the box and start to panic and end up looking for runs but not watching them and i get tackled.

you mess up the whole backline if you use 2 cdm's from different leagues.

also it's better to have a defensive midfield than an offensive one, when you have 3 up front.

this is basically a modified version of 433.

If you play coutner then utajoker, you have to pace abuse really.

You want a 4-2-* formation, or a 5-* formation, as you can soak pressure up.

With Cambiasso and mash you have two cdm's from the same country, so they'll link.

Marcelo + Masc will link, Silva + Lucio + Cambiasso will link. Masch will get 7 chem and will be fine as his links with Lavezzi + cambiasso + Marcelo will be strong.

there is definitely matchmaking in ultimate team this year.

thats the reason why it records your level, i think im on level 23 or something.

so basically if you restart your club, your back on level 1 playing against noobs, possibly the reason why, the more i play ultimate team, the harder the opponents get. and why at the start i was winning every game 10-0 and now they are a lot closer.

so if you want to play against noobs and get easy wins, just restart your club every month.

may be worth restarting just to play this 8k tourney, but i have 300K in my account so will lose 15K in tax.

decisions decisions.

Not massively sure it works that way.

I get a massive mix of people I play against and I'm a level 25-26. Last Tourny I played, I won 10-1, 8-1, 4-2 and 4-0.

The one previous to that I got beat in the semis 2-1, and scored soemthing like 15 heading to that semi game.

it massively differs, the flux is so much I'd say that there isn't a massive amount of match making going on and that it's the luck of thedraw against teams who are through to whatever round you're looking at.

well there is a guy who has the disconnect bug so has 200 losses and zero wins, he makes youtube vids and every guy he comes up against is a complete noob.

he makes zero coins from matches because of the bug, so he trades to make coins.

the idiot could buy a new router but i dont know why he doesnt, would fix the disconnect bug.

but there is definitely a matchmaking service imo.

restart your club and see every game will be completely easy, with zero decent players unless they restarted too.

 

[Stewy]

I still get terrible people in the first few rounds of tournies and then sometimes a good game in the final.

 

[Andr3w]

Everyone I seem to play has at least 4 IF players and knows how to play.

Am I just unlucky ?

 

[Psycho Sonny]

I still get terrible people in the first few rounds of tournies and then sometimes a good game in the final.

obviously to be in the final you will have needed to beat 3 people in front of you therefore, they wont exactly be complete noobs, but they might not be pro either.

ive had some finals where i have won by a clear 5 goals and others where it has been only 1 or 2 in it.


if anyone has a Serie A team and is looking for a decent CM or CAM or CF.
