*** The Official FIFA 13 Thread ***

The defence in your German side is so hard to break down, I think the only times I get through is if you make a huge mistake. In the last two games I was just met with a wall of defenders every time I launched an attack. It doesn't help when you have Gundongan running around the midfield, I know you said you didn't notice him but he was a ******* menace, constantly chasing my midfielders down. :p

I think I gradually did a better job of giving you less room to launch your mega shots :o Your accuracy is so good, I think all were on target except maybe 2 or 3. Kerzhakov's bullet was a particular highlight.

I'm pretty pleased with Naldo who I bought earlier today. Don't know how tall he really is, but he looks HUGE. The man mountain won pretty much every header I think. Also I've been dominating people all day with Gomez but not as effective vs you, but I'm still glad I got him as my 2 CAMs previously were Muller and Gotze, who got tired so easily, and now I can slip Reus in at CAM instead it's much more consistent. Robben is magic, I can barely believe some of the things I can do with him. Probably carried me in many of those games.

Your team is very solid. Formation seems to work. Didn't leave anywhere particularly exposed. Gonzalez is a machine down the wing. Bystrov seems ok but not quite as good on the other side. Arshavin and Kerzhakov always dangerous. Kolodin as you said is pretty epic!
 
I was following an auction for Chiellini last night. The price was 39k with 10 seconds left, was amazed that sumbody put in a bid of 141k. Obviously he won and it was a typo, would luv to know how he felt!!
 
I'd go for Palacio right mid personally. As for LM, I think there is only one left footer, the guy whose name begins 'Est' iirc.

Might try Palacio, I thought Palacio and Giovinco together might be a bit of a liability defensively. 4* skills as well apparently.. hmm

Think Vargas is also left footed. The Estigarribia (had to look that up) is 88 pace though. All cheap as chips so might try them out!
 
Managed to win 2 close games after each other. In both games, we were evently matched, but for once, I defended well.

In the first game, my keeper wouldn't save anything at all. He scored from nearly half pitch, it went over my keeper's head. Won 4-2. Second game both keepers were in top form. he had Cech, I had Handanovic. Won 4-2 :D
 
I have four midfielders for my Serie A team. I use Palacio and Giovinco the most. But I do like swapping in Maggio on the RM from time to time. I also really like using Lulic he has been a solid LM for me I use him a fair bit too to give Giovinco a rest. Heres what my team looks like so far:

I just noticed I have Robinho there as LM too. I bought him last night so not yet tried him out. Saving for Buffon then that's my team sorted and I will be pretty happy :) then il just stock coins for IFs and what not I guess.

Not at 70 odd thousand!

Made a 3-4-2-1 tonight and it was extremely good, the attacking potential is just fantastic. Defending is tough, you have to utilise your 3 CBs really well, but I really like it.

Easily the most fun but you need to know how to defend. I've managed much better since getting Ramos.
 
I found Rooney really frustrating, he didn't seem that strong or quick and he kept missing sitters for me. His best attribute was his passing.
 
I wasn't overly impressed with Aguero or Ronney TBH.

Prob says more about me than them! Might bite the bullet and buy Messi or Ronnie. Can't stomach the 5% of 1.3 million you'll lose when you sell him
 
:/ reset router a couple times now and still won't let me sign into EA. Trust it to happen when I've got a few of hours of FIFA time while the mrs is at work!

Edit : scrap that I'm in. Woohoo finally sold my IF CAM 41212 Ronaldinho. He was awful especially after swapping him for Xavi.

Who should I get for around 80k? Preferably CAM or ST in the prem. PS3 prices btw.

I had Xavi and he was awesome but just hated having a la Liga team.
