He was rubbish.

Changed him and Kroos and got TOTS Gerrard and Mata and gone 4222 now, wasting coins in trading has been my bank holiday speciality!

I thought you'd love TOTS Kroos absolutely maniacal longshots!

I was quite happy to keep him for longer but I wanted a left footer at LCAM and Bundies doesn't have one that I fancied.

GreenMint · 28 May 2013 at 00:37

Fair enough, but his 5* weak foot is also very sexy!

BPL team just feels wrong, think everyone is going for now, I want to get TOTS RVP into a good team, but can't think up the best way/formation to do it!

GreenMint · 28 May 2013 at 02:32

So tempting, but hitting 86 rated is worrying point again, could make a few cuts on Gundogan, Alaba etc.. but Ribery, Van Persie & an honest bench push the rating up a bit!

(Rating includes subs!)

Anyone used Ronaldo as a ST with 7 chem? My 4-3-2-1 teams are struggling to win lately, while my 4-3-1–2 team is doing really well. Thinking of changing my La Liga 4-3-2-1 team to 4-3-1–2 and having Ronnie and Messi up front. Seems great in theory but no idea if the 7 chem on him will have a major impact or not.

How's SIF Handanovic in comparison to Buffon? Anyone tried them both?

7 chem won't be attainable with Messi there, to 7 up Ronaldo at ST in 4312 (Web app chem listings apply) you need a double link or more on each player linked to him, so probably him & Benzema at ST's with Kaka, Ozil or Madric behind.

Nothing to stop you subbing Messi, or him on, but its only really doable with all strong links or Messi at RST, Ronaldo LST then a VERY out of position Pepe at CF

Played against this team last night. Got beat 6-2. It was an horrific experience.

Just look at that team. I wept when I saw the loading screen.

The__Malteser · 28 May 2013 at 08:54

The guy I played is dirtier than Sacha Gray and Pamela Anderson put together.

Bought TOTS Bale 1.3 BIN, he is woefully slow. The SIF is way better. Don't waste your coins. Sold for 1.3.

Bought TOTS RvP, he is good but can only be played with a pacey striker in my opinion. Bought for 660, sold for 650.

Also have tried TOTS Schweinstiger, nothing special in my opinion. The IF is just as good. I played him in a CM position which probably isn't his strongest. Incredible long shots on him. Bought for a bargain on a bid, 400k sold for 510k.

I still can't bring myself to sell TOTS Reus as I bought for 1M and now he is worth 500k.

I now have close to 4M (TOTS Di Natalie will be mine

). Can anyone recommend me some new players to try.

spluff · 28 May 2013 at 11:10

how can TOTS bale be so slow?

Jimbeam3678 · 28 May 2013 at 11:13

Because he isn't! He's certainly not 96 pace mind but he's not slow. Think he's scored 14 goals in 8 games for me iirc.

I think he's awesome so, his price seems to be going back up last time I checked......

I am playing him at LF so can't comment about LW or LM

Funcy · 28 May 2013 at 11:19

TOTS Cazorla is doing wonders for me at CF in 4-2-3-1. Highly recommended.

Talbs13 · 28 May 2013 at 11:20

Use the SIF 87 and you will understand just how slow the TOTS Bale.

Loved TOTS Cazorla but sold to get coins. I really want to re-buy TOTS Mata and use as Striker.

spluff · 28 May 2013 at 11:21

how about the 88 Bale is he faster than 87 but slower than TOTY?

Also i dont understand how a player has better acceleration and top speed could be slower than the same player with lower......

Andybtsn · 28 May 2013 at 11:32

TOTS Mata didn't work as a striker. Not for me anyway, too weak, no skilled dribbling trait which is annoying and shooting isn't anything special.

I have used him :-)

. Did you try shooting/passing or dribbling with him? He's up there with nif ronnie IMO.

Naturally FIFA always splits opinions on here. He is staying in my team for the foreseeable future :-)

Talbs13 · 28 May 2013 at 11:38

The 88 Bale is slower than the 87. It's EA logic. When dribbling has a big increase the pace goes down even though the stats tell you different.

On paper, TOTS Bale is the best player on the game.

Yes I tried and his shooting is incredible. However, being a left footer on the LW is never a good thing. I've tried him in a 4321, 352 and 451 and he was best at LF, I even had him at RF on 7 Chem.

I'd love to buy him again when his price is sub 1M but in my opinion, Nani is a better player....one of my favourite players in the game.

kingbean · 28 May 2013 at 11:44

I decided to get TOTS Kroos (paid 180k), couldn't ignore the long shots and the passing stats.

Will be playing him at CF in a 4231 formation. Any one used him in a similar position?
