FIFA 14

I thought 442 was the one, then I got beat by the worst player I've ever played on 14. Back to the drawing board.

Is Hunter/Hawk worth it though? I mean he has 98 shot already ..99 finishing, 99 longshots, 99 shot power.... just filth! I'm just thinking adding +2/+3 shooting to him might be just wasteful. I'd totally agree on the initial Ibra card but on this one......I dunno!

Yeah chemistry styles are difficult on the very top rated players including TOTY cards but I would boost the stats you actually use. How much passing are you actually going to be doing with TOTY Ibra?

If anything I would be more inclined to put a card with a dribbling on him. If you aren't skilling then you may as well sell him

.

It would have to be Hawk or Marksman for me. Probably the former.

I'm using 4231(2) at the moment, it's very solid at the back but offers very little going forward to be honest. I quite liked 433(5) and 433(4) though, if you can have a good-ish passer at CF / ST and can time it correctly to your wingers then it's very good. With your budget, you could go Lavezzi - XX - Robben easily enough I guess?

I hate playing against 4231(2) but could never make it work myself.

433(4) is a bit 'meh' I concede a lot more goals than I should normally as even Alex Song thinks he a striker. I think if I played more quickly it would be better as the CMs wouldn't push up so much but as I'm fairly slow on the build up on a standard attack even medium attacking work rate CMs are starting to run off Ibra.

Hernanes is godly in this team though. He's got a hell of a shot and pass on him. Currently got Maestro on him; tempted to go Deadeye to engage full two footed wand mode.

I've not even tried 442 this year. As a general rule, I hate CMs.

Rusty have you made a new PS3 account?

Rusty0611 · 20 Jan 2014 at 19:07

Nope. Why's that have I been stealth banned?

It's good but it's so dependent on what players you use. If you don't get it right the whole team falls to bits.

I use Toure and Modric - team is very fun to use

Andybtsn · 20 Jan 2014 at 19:26

I had Fernandino and Matuidi as CM's. That said, Aguero was also the worst striker I've used in game, just did absolutely nothing for me.

Stewy · 20 Jan 2014 at 19:29

Why oh why do they continue to make Pato so ludicrously good in this game? I have him up top and his finishing, pace and heading is just very silly.

Seriously?

What formation did you use with him?

He is/was on my to buy list.

Suarez7 · 20 Jan 2014 at 19:42

I found that when using Aguero but against me sometimes he is ridiculous, I played against his SIF card the other day and I just couldn't get him off the ball and his pace seemed mental.

Probably half the problem. Matuidi is tragic.

Fernandinho is good but not sure his work rates suit him in a 2.

thoughts on this, not tried 451 since fifa13..

Quinnaay · 20 Jan 2014 at 19:53

Well ive won 1 lost 5 with my new BBVA team worst ive ever done in 1 season, its pretty horrendous in comparison to my BPL team i had before and on paper its stupidly better.

Yup, 442, waste of money. He was amazing in 12, average in 13, woeful in 14. Go figure

Matuidi is very good, just like Ramires. Problems weren't in the middle of the park tbh.

Quinnaay · 20 Jan 2014 at 20:09

Rage sold that BBVA team, tempted to sell my coins and just use a cheap pacey team seems the way forward, just like previous FIFAs.

Stewy · 20 Jan 2014 at 20:11

@topher

Players look okay but, personally, I think 451 sucks. I didn't like Isco either

Any formations you traditionally prefer?

good question! it was 4222, but since going to PS4 my team play like a bunch of donkeys, lol

tried 4231 and that was a little better but still struggled to create chances.. perhaps its just gonna take time to get used to the fifa 14 version.

perhaps I should try 4231 with the LM/RM instead of cams
