Aye, you're like another Stewy who my record sucks against

No matter what I do it fails.

Anyone for a game? That I have a chance of winning

Don't know what it is mate, just seems to be a reverse of FIFA 11!

. You do lack solid strength in the middle. I think you try to force things too much as well. Tend to look for that killer ball instead of retaining possession and moving the back 4 around a bit more. Find it quite easy to intercept balls and they are generally lobbed through passes and I tend to stay with the runner manually.

Oh yeah that I agree with, I'm the most impatient player ever, I need to address that but I struggle to pass the ball square, always forwards so my pass accuracy is always rubbish. I find it infuriating playing people that hang onto the ball too, it bores me to death, you're not that bad at it. Some others though, I could fall asleep at times.

I don't hold onto it to bore the opposition. Just try and dictate the tempo f the game and look for gaps. Tend to move it sideways and across the pitch to try and stretch your back 4.

Yeah I know, I mean me watching it bores me

Doesn't mean it isn't affective, look at Stewy's record

Drink a red bull prior to the game.

EA servers down now

Hilly · 21 Dec 2011 at 00:08

Haha. Will do. Got a tube of smarties all ready!

Yea down for me now too :/ do have jumped on Forza.

Think I'm going to take it easy on Fifa now that the El Clasico Tournament ended. Been playing offline tournament for the past 10 days, got quite sick of it. Managed to make 226k from it though so I'm happy.

Is there a huge difference between IF Ramires and NIF Ramires? Fancy getting him in my Brazil team.

Mmm I'm clicking and still waiting........

Macky · 21 Dec 2011 at 00:30

Just took a punt on Gar Bale. 33k. Very expensive for a LM, he'll have to prove himself.

Jimbeam3678 · 21 Dec 2011 at 00:32

I feel you'll be disappointed :-(

Macky · 21 Dec 2011 at 00:32

Oh really? Who would you recommend?

Jimbeam3678 · 21 Dec 2011 at 00:35

If its EPL mata? He's been good for me , gets further up the pitch than bale.he seems to hangback to much for me.

Macky · 21 Dec 2011 at 00:43

Bought Young instead. 19k at LM. That gives me an extra 10k to strengthen the team. Gonna have about 54k and need to buy. A striker, Yaya Toure a RM and keeper.

Hernandez is gonna bag top spot me thinks.

jesta · 21 Dec 2011 at 00:45

Decided to go for it and bought an IF Ramires, 66k so not too bad.

Bring on Pato and Danilinho during 2nd half to mix it up a bit. Decided to put Walker in their as I don't think Maicon is worth the 40k price and Rafinha doesn't seem too attack or defend well where as Walker has a great shot on him.

Macky · 21 Dec 2011 at 00:49

Walker is a bit of a beast. I scored a screamer with him the other day too.

Who should I put at RM in my prem team? Undecided.

jesta · 21 Dec 2011 at 01:06

Yeah I scored a cracker today with him, will upload it next to I'm on the PS3. Brazilian keepers are so crap, think I'll put Cech into that team as I already have him and he still has a chem 8.

Gervinho is the only choice really for RM imo.
