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

Cisse offers a decent power shot and heading and strength, Giovinco on the other hand only offers pace and is a poor man's Robhino tbh. Miccoli is good if your a dribbler though, he has really good ball control for twisting and turning but offers nothing in the air.

Nice budget team though, when you going to re-buy? ps3 market is being killed right now, seen so many bargains but im going to wait, tomorrow should see prices plummet, cant wait for people to buy more packs

I'll just ignore what you said about Giovinco because as you know different people have different play styles and what works for you might not work for someone else... This is my only team, haven't got anything to sell and I've only got about 20,000 coins to buy things with so this is it for now. Just winning the odd tournament here and there for cash, I don't know enough about the market otherwise I'd spend more time trading. :)
 
Did I really sell IF T.Silva for 7k by mistake or was it all dream?

:(

I think Nep wants to buy every TOTY player and build a TOTY squad. That would be fun to watch. Probably cost close to 20 million coins

Giovinco is total trash though, I even told this to Sonny before he bought him but he didnt believe me :p

he certainly ain't trash, but he is a poor man's Robhino for sure. if you have a tight budget i rate him highly.

in order of preference i like Di Natale then Robhino then Giovinco in Serie A as my wide CAM's.

up against a good player and a good team, you need something a lot better Di Natale offers you many more options, he can run, pass and shoot. but up against other budget teams or poor players he will do well.

Same thing goes for Eduardo and Lucas, i had them as my budget choice CAM's in my Brazil team, they are amazing on a tight budget, but Neymar and Robhino offered a lot more to their game.

im just surprised Kill has so few coins, he spends money on packs and has accumulated roughly 300K match coins iirc including tourney winnings, yet his team looks like it's worth peanuts, he must lose a lot of coins switching teams on a daily basis. because somehow he has managed to lose what looks like over 150K coins, depending on how much Klose costs.

edit:

IF Klose is like 30K, that means Kill has lost over 200K coins, depending on how much he spent on packs, it could be a hell of a lot more, depends on if he has stock to sell on the market too. that's why i was surprised when he said he only had 20K coins left and those cheap teams.

You're quite right Sonny, I've lost more coins than I care to think about. Two reasons the first being the depreciation of certain high value players that now don't cost anywhere near as much as they did when I bought them way back when. I'm talking about the likes of Schweinsteiger, Gomez, Lahm, Hummels, Neuer, Podolski, all expensive players during the first few weeks of UT, and while their prices have fluctuated I've sold at a bad time.

That's true for quite a lot of my teams though, I get very bored of them quickly and sell at bad times, I could probably remedy this by having two squads but it doesn't appeal to me, it makes me think that my club is "cluttered" which is a completely irrational way of thinking and doesn't make sense at all but that's how I enjoy playing the game and that's up to me.

However, when you say I buy packs you make it sound as if I'm spunking not inconsiderable amounts up the wall by constant buying which isn't true. Since the start of Ultimate Team I've spent about £70 - £80 at the most, that's what, just over £17 a month? It's absolutely nothing, even to someone like myself who only has a minimum wage job.

At the end of the day though I play my way and I play for fun. It doesn't bother me that I don't have as many coins as I used to, or that I don't have the uber team that I probably should have by now, all that matters to me personally is that I have fun playing and most of the time I do. :)

PS. I find Giovinco so amazing because of where I play him, and I find him in no way to be a poor man's anything, he's fantastic. His 95 agility, 95 balance and 94 acceleration means he pretty much decimates the majority of my opponents who don't bother marking him properly. 87 ball control and 89 finishing means he's an absolute monster in and around the box for me as well, I'm sure Jesta from here will back that up too, and it's not as if he's a bad player with crap teams because he's probably the best player I've come up against in UT. ;)

wow, changing teams really does eat up the coins, if you have spent £80 and on average you got 30K coins per £10 which is really low tbh, you have lost like 500K in coins and you now only have like 100K.

that's a huge loss, i also stated above Giovinco is my 3rd choice CAM, theres what 15-30 CAM's in serie A maybe? when you consider how many CDM's, CM's, CF's and ST's can be played there really well, being 3rd choice is good.

i like Giovinco :)

some budget players are monster's just look at Menez

Yep, it's always a gamble because I've never bought coins, I used to stick £10 in my PS Wallet and buy the 7,500 coin packs, sometimes I'd be lucky and sometimes not. I had a Tevez quite early on in the game which netted me a bit so I was fairly lucky in that regard. Since then though like I said, most of the coins that I had have been frittered away carelessly.

I'll add you on my proper account when I turn the PS3 on later, you can give me a few games whenever you're online if you like.
 
IF Danny will be mine!

My Russian team will look like:

--------Eto'o---IF Doumbia--------
-------IF Danny------Honda-------
--------Denisov---R Carlos--------
Ansaldi IF Alves IF Bocchetti Angbwa
-------------Akinfeev-------------

Need someone to replace Denisov though :/. Hopefully Honda will get an IF too, his left foot is a beast.

That's how I've gone about it, I think I have around 350k in match coins, but my trading is -550k (mainly due to buying players and packs). I think I have around 8000 in coins at the moment, but with a TOTY Cassillas and a Ribery still to sell (and maybe a Mata, Tevez, Nani and a few others).

No big deal, I don't care how many coins I have, I have a team which I'm more than happy with which I won't sell and play with every other day :)
 
FINALLY IVE WON THE ADVANCED CUP.


managed to nick a goal then play with what felt like a 3* team for the rest of the match trying to hang on. but he got an equaliser. extra time my team changed and felt normal again but i couldnt get a goal and it went to penalties and i won :)
 
I think I heard somewhere that the midfielders are going to be released on Sunday, but don't quote me on that.

No I think what you heard was that the defenders are available until Sunday.

"@EASPORTSFIFA: @SurajMirvani Yes indeed. The World Xi Defenders available until Sunday. We'll bring news of the rest of the team nearer their release."

Oh, you are just the worst kind of person. :p

That was probably it, there's so much misinformation on here from people "in the know" that I tend to get lost in the rubbish half the time!
