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

I find finesse is all about the positioning of the player and not their actual shot. Agbonlahor for example, doesn't have the best shooting but get him in a position to finesse he will score every time. Even the better players like Aguero, finesse from a central position and they'll usually miss so you may find Carroll is a good finesser but you're just shooting from angles that aren't the best..

Just my 2p :D

Of course, it's a massive part of it. But he's just not accurate enough. He misses at the same type of angles that Torres and Aguero would score. But when he laces a shot from the left side, not many save them.
 
played my first season in Div 1 today, 14 points to stay in the div, 20 points to win the title. finished with 5-1-3. I'm done with H2H's. Back to UT.
 
what's your team and what's your budget?

my 4321 team was solid and scored for fun, especially david villa, the guy is a goal machine for sure with Ibra and Aguero that i have used.

he is also the best free kick taker i have used so far and ive used quite a few.

Go on then Sonny, team? :)

-------Benzema---------

David Villa ----- Reyes

Mascherano -- Alonso -- IF Garcia

IF Marcelo -- IF Pepe -- IF Ramos -- IF Iraola

Lopez

obviously you can swap out IF Marcelo, IF Pepe and IF Ramos for their normal versions but you need Iraola and Garcia to be IF.

Basically had 7 defensive players, but the middle 3 all have amazing stats and Alonso can pass the ball anywhere.

Reyes to cut in and finesse.

Villa can score power shots from anywhere, i usually finesse with him inside the box and outside i smash them.

Benzema wasn't the main goalscorer, Villa was and Reyes second and Benzema third.

so dont rely on him for goals, with 3 up front it rips defences apart, they get moved out of place instantly if your a good passer (1-2's) or you can use the wingers to run down the line, slow down, turn so they are facing the opposite corner flag and cross with their strong foot.

i bought torres for benzema and he played similarly tbh, up to you whether you think he is worth the premium.

i think i was unbeaten with that team before i sold up, mainly due to the quality of the 7 defensive players and 3 up front to rip apart any defence.

i used villa for every free kick, he scored 9 out of 10 on average i reckon, he is that good.

i used a combo of alonso, reyes and villa for corners, all 3 of them are very good, with Reyes the ball seems to float up high in the air and loop down, whereas the other two hit with more power and lower. all 3 are solid corner takers.

it's a very defensive looking line up, but with the quality of the 3 up front, i had zero problems getting shots onto goal, in fact i found the opposing team struggle t get near goal and i took long shots with villa for fun. seriously take a few long digs with him, best shot ive seen so far on the game.

Looks good. :) Mascherano has awful stats on his card though but I still found him really good when I played with him.

he seems to be in the right place at the right time, his tackling is awesome. his in game stats make him the 86 he is.

i used custom stats too, and set the back 7 all to high defensive low offense and the front 3 to high attack and low defense.

otherwise the back 4 can wander at times, all of them have high attacking workrates. i think Iraola and marcelo have high attack, low defense and pepe and ramos have high/high.

basically the worst you can get for a back 4, so you do need to use custom formation to change them.
 
Thinking of a team 4222

Neymar Pato
Robinho Kaka
Cambiasso Mascherano
Taiwo Chiellini Pepe Ramos
Stek

Kaka and Robinho are a bit meh. Well haven't tried before. I should have about 180k to spend on a team when I decide to buy.

Oohh could get Sneijder. Not sure what he's like though.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Can't really bring myself to fork out for a brand new Xbox this late in its life, was going to opt for the PS3 with it having blu-ray and I've spend days upon days of scrapping for results on Ultimate team to get to where I am now. Gutted. I've got the original 360 so I guess I've done well to get this far with it.
 
After selling my teams I have 492k, thinking of building this squad in 4-4-2 after the "market crash":

---------------Valdes--------------

IF Iraola----Pepe----Pique--Marcelo

Di Maria--IF Aimar----IF Garcia--Villa

-----------Aguero----Torres---------

Only Pepe and IF Aimar won't have a link, should be a pretty fun team.
 
Cheers. Been thinking of doing hybrid teams as I have done all the major leagues so thought I try and include players which I always wanted to try.

Started building it by picking up IF Aimar and IF Garcia for 15k and 18k.

£40 you could pick up an old Xbox mate, stick your hard drive on it and you're away.

Xbox still has plenty of life left in it before the next one comes

If you can't get an xbox £30 locally there is something wrong.

Andy, you pip me to the bloody post on everything you do :p

Looks really good, the only point of doubt I would have is Villa, excellent LW/LF (Although obv no LF position card in FUT'12) but as a LM he seems to have issues at times? Could you afford IF Mata there?

I reckon I can afford IF Mata after the market drop but then Marcelo would not link up with him. Guess I could put Jose Enrique in at LB instead of Marcelo.
