Bundesliga finished in futhead already got all the players bar a few anyway

------------ Aubameyang (can't bring myself to use Mandzukic I detest him)

Gotze ---------- Boateng ------- Gundogan

--------- Martinez ------- Gustavo

Schmelzer - Hummels - Dante - SIF Maicon

-------------------- Adler

looks like I will use this with Dos Santos as super sub if need be, see how it goes, looks amazing on paper.

didn't want to spend too much although I could easily get Lew, IF Boateng and Neuer.

edit:

has anyone used Boateng as ST? thinking of doing the below instead

-------------- Boateng

Gotze ----- Gundogan -- Aubameyang

it's hugely evident on crosses, if your winning by 2 goals and the other team puts a cross in, I can guarantee you it will be a goal 9 times out of 10. whereas if you’re losing and they put one in you will find the CB's are in the right position to clear it.

In my team TOTY Ramos and IF Godin literally stop any form of cross spam. I'm super serial ! Corners are another matter though :( Corners just seem stupid though the game puts players in completely random positions at times. One corner my keeper punched away to TOTY Ramos who just so happened to be chilling outside of the box..... WHY WAS HE NOT IN THE MIDDLE !!!! He is my freaking CB, that said he went on a counter attack and scored so meh :p lol

Not tried him, but thinking about getting him.. either ST but in a 2 up top formation, or cam! he'd be good at rcam (he's left footed).

how are you finding the 2 4231 formations, much difference?

I have SIF Dos Santos in my 41212 with Benzema and Neymar in CAM. I think Dos Santos does an amazing job as my right sided ST, he has 4* weak foot too so he can still rocket them shots and finish quite well on his right foot. He is fairly weak but his dribbling is amazing and seems to always be in a good position, at least for me. I have TIF Sanchez on the RM and TIF Pedro on LM :D so for me my ST's are mainly there as poachers or finishers.

He prob would make a pretty good CAM, I'm not sure if his workrates would do to well as a CAM though (M/L). But for me in the formation I use with one CAM, Neymar was the obvious choice for me :D He is so dreamy as a CAM. I really prefer playing Neymar there compared to ST. Can make more use of his pace, dribbling, 5* weak foot and shooting :)

Edit:
@Sonny, I used IF Boateng as ST in a Bunda team quite a while ago. I really could not get on with him I found him just useless. I really wanted to like him but he just was not clicking. Made a very good CAM but at ST he just felt woeful.

Whats Gotze like this year? Steep price at 50k but insane dribble stat.

The problem with him for me and the reason i've never tried him is that mkhitaryan is absolutely godlike in CAM for me. I'd say easily the best CAM in the game..he's just everywhere and does everything so well. He's just always so involved in everything I do going forward, then when he's knackered I sub IF Boateng in and it feels a massive step down....which says it all really. He also costs about 1k coins :D

The manual is from fifa 09.

The code is from fifa 13 iirc.

Please do read the blog again properly.

"Apparently though this has been around since FIFA 09 but it just hasn't been as noticeable even their manual explained the affect it can have on your players. "

So the main pieces of evidence are from fifas 4 years apart and the latest piece was from last years PC version of fifa.

The code is from Fifa 09 as it's been posted long long ago, EA admitted the code was there and working and it's been removed since.
 
As stated - if banding was present now - draws would be the most common result - the fact that they are always much less for everyones stats that wins and losses would suggest that there is no banding, indeed - it proves it.
 
Just had the easiest gold cup run ever, all 4 games clear 5+ goal wins, handicap must be on my side today loooooool.

Seriously, Mkhitaryan is amazing! I'm keeping him forever :p

I know his stats look crap on futhead etc, but try him!

His stats are seriously underated on fifa, I watch Bundesliga a fair bit and he should be at least 90 pace with a 5* WF, I'll give him a go.

Yea i watch it too....god that female blonde presenter is so baaaaaaaaad but love the highlights generally :D I agree on his stats being crap but ingame for me he really is great as i say.
 
Adding Messi to the team was the biggest mistake I've done, not because he's bad just the whole team feels liek you're dragging them through mud now.

Also, I thought Cech was good? He just palmed two simple shots into his own goal. Ridiculous.
 
Cech is good, every keeper has those games that's all.

When I had Messi on PC I never tried him at CAM but at striker he'd go missing a lot then pop up out of nowhere and score a ridiculous finesse or power shot across goal.

I have already posted this a couple of times in this thread, that is why corners are ridiculously easy to score from.

I'll just keep boateng in cam then cheers
 
Gah, I'm in a cross roads... My team is good (I'm bad) but I don't know what I want and what team I actually want. I feel my team is so wasted on me.

I've got 44k coins and debating if I should try and start building a BPL team as that is the team I had the most fun with... Although I really liked my German squad I had... Arggh what to do!

If I sold up my team after tax I'd have 5 mil...
