Reckon you're right about 4-2-2-2. Wanted to go 4-4-2 or 4-1-2-1-2 so I can accommodate Lavezzi but I'll just take the chemistry hit and put him at CAM.
I found Pato crap after trying him 3 times in different teams, just could not get along with his slow shooting. Not that fond of Robinho as well.
Reckon my team would be like this:
Ibra -- Cavani
Di Natale -- Lavezzi
Vidal -- Cambiasso
Taiwo -- Chiellini -- Lucio -- Abate
Buffon
Did you get SIF Marchisio in the end? If so how was he?
I did get SIF Marchisio for Robhino and he is 10 times better for shooting, but he is much slower than his stats suggest.
i use 2 types of players in CAM role
the guy on the right all he needs to do is run and cross, nothing else, therefore Robhino is the best man for that job.
The guy on the left needs to be able to:
finesse shoot
run
cross
so Di Natale is the best for that position, therefore SIF Marchisio is better suited to a 41212 CAM or someone with a different play style than mine. Therefore i sold Marchisio and brought Robhino back in.
If you don't like Pato, try Cisse out, no joke the man is a BEAST.
Penalties are so dumb on this game, so inconsistent, keeper whipes you out after flicking it past him, easiest red card & penalty decision and... nothing. Sigh.
just had a quick look at the IF T. Silva...

Holy sweet mother of God.
Tactical Awareness is what you look for in a defending player, Vision is the exact same thing for attacking players.
Therefore with 99 Standing Tackle, 99 Tact Aware and 99 Marking he is basically going to be extremely hard to beat as the CPU will do most of the work for you.
Then look at his pace stats and his reactions and jumping, the only thing he is lacking is strength and height tbh for a CB but at 88 he is still extremely good strength wise but 6 foot tall is made up for by his jumping i reckon.
i really want him for my Serie A team
