[Mr Men]

had someone doing the old control my team glitch earlier now on the look out for anyone with a guest.

 

[Robi]

I'm thinking of building this team. Tim, what do you think? (since you're the king of Serie A teams).

4-3-1-2

-------Pato---Ibrahimovic-------
-----------IF Jovetic-----------
-Ronaldinho-Robinho-IF Giovinco-
--Marcelo-Lucio-Chiellini-Maicon--
----------Stekelenburg----------

6 x 5 star skillers and I should be able to pick that up for around 150-200k. Ibra is 65-70k now!

What does everyone make of IF Giovinco or IF Jovetic?

 

[MR_Punk]

I head Giovinco is a little bit fragile.

Has anyone had any experience of playing Van Der Vaart at CM?

 

[TD24]

anyone had any dealings with Xavi as CAM in a 4-1-2-1-2, Messi feels wasted at CAM.

[Robi]

I didn't realise Sneijder was so cheap. Where is best to play him in 4-3-1-2? CM or CF?

I'm thinking CF for his longshots / passes.

Possibly:

4-3-1-2

Tough choices are LB/CM, either IF Nagatomo or Taiwo. For CM, either:

1. Robinho/Cambiasso/IF Giovinco
2. IF Jovetic/Robinho/IF Giovinco
3. IF Jovetic/Cambiasso/IF Giovinco

I think either 1 or 3 are the best as Cambiasso adds a bit of defensive balance, otherwise it's too attacking and I could easily get caught out.

-------Pato---Ibrahimovic-------
------------Sneijder------------
-Robinho-Cambiasso-IF Giovinco-
-IF Nagatomo-Lucio-Chiellini-Maicon-
----------Stekelenburg----------

What does he do that's better than Xavi?

 

[MR_Punk]

Robi, I played him in that formation at CM and he was completely wasted. Try CF.

 

[feedtheram]

Ultimate team is pretty much the hot topic of this .. topic.

Im pretty sure you can edit team sheets somewhere in the settings so that when you go to play its already setup. Not 100% sure though if this is allowed on ranked matches though...

In all honesty FUT is popular here for a reason, especially because of the faster gameplay and the ability to make your dream team (within certain restrictions)...

You can't same team lineups, very annoying

Thanks chaps. I'll take a look at UT.

 

[Bucket]

I personally prefer the slower pace, it makes for better games and not just having a speedy team most of the time, I think this is probably why I play more non-UT than UT.

What does he do that's better than Xavi?

a lot by the looks of it and he is also half the price, look at all those minus's for xavi

long shots are superb

Quite liking the look of that, your original had no defensive based midfielders, so you would have really gotten stung there, that looks pretty nice, but you have Ibra & Pato on the wrong way round.

Also, MAYBE Di Natale instead of Robinho? He's so fragile, will get crushed easily there and his coming back to help usefulness factor is a full 0!

Yeah, i'm giving NIF Giovinco and Nagatomo a try before I think about buying the IF versions. De Natale doesn't have 5 star skills, so no chop .

Haters gonna hate! You're so anti-Robinho

 

[MR_Punk]

Anyone around for a few games?

 

[ps3ud0]

Any improvements you can see in my team?

----------------------Torres
--------------Nani - IF Etherington
---------------Nasri - Toure - Bale
UP Enrique - Luiz - Toure/Kompany - Richards
--------------------UP Reina

Currently saving up for UP Nani, but that might take a while as Im hoping his price starts to drop before I buy him (<50k be nice )...

How is Essien compared to Toure?

[GreenMint]

Pulled Lampard in a pack last night, anyone used him? before I sell him on, or is he just still a poor man's Gerrard?

 

[GreenMint]

Haters gonna hate! You're so anti-Robinho

Nah, in seriousness, i've used him there before, it ust doesn't work, too far back for him and in honesty, his defensie assets are in the negatives.

Anyone around for a few games?

Sure, gimme 5 mins.

 

[GreenMint]

omw Peanuts, damned XBL update..!

 

[MR_Punk]

Just chuck an invite when your ready then Tim.
