FIFA 14

Honest answer, you'd be stupid if you did that!

You want someone Neutral/good all rounder and someone attacking, could go SIF Cabaye & Ramires, but whatever we tell you will be wrong, then questioned :p

For anyone who has/had a Bundes team, using 433-4 for it and tempted to switch up the front 3, I may try Robben again for Blasz, then could try Ribery over Reus or try out SIF Lewandowski, Reus is so solid but at the same time Ribery could be worth trying out again, was nothing wrong with him last time I had him in my French team, just the Reus isn't really doing anything wrong!

I think the Bundes team is the one team I keep around no matter what now, going to try Gotze, IF Kroos, IF Mkh at CAM over Draxler to see if anyone grabs my attention, at least the defense is as perfect as it can be without IF Alaba & TOTY Neuer!


I really wanted IF kroos to be good, his NIF was so lethal, sadly it just didn't happen, he did absolutely nothing for me, Nif always used to be available in space, IF just wasn't. I have noticed a few others say the same, i though i was doing it all wrong so i checked out a few reviews.

Gotze was good but draxler was better for me, more rounded and available to shoot.

If it was me id plump up the cash for IF Alaba, his nif always impressed, he was so solid and looking at his in depth stats he actually has a nice bump across the board so i could imagine him being a bit of a beast. Reactions up from 84 to 93 :eek:, 82 to 99 stamina, most of his skills are up by 4 or 5. Seems well worth a look. Total stats 481 :D

The stats for NIF aren't right on FH/FW so the IF doesn't provide as much as a bump as you think. Check the in game stats yourself by going to Squad -> Bio.

Really, such a shame. you think they would make a point of getting something like that correct wouldn't you.

Ribery is the first player I've rage sold. He wasn't bad, of course not, but there's no way I'm going to use him over Reus. I'm a skiller and I still found Reus more effective overall.

The stats are from the career mode database. So comparing say Reus to Ribery is fine because the stats are relative but comparing NIF Reus to IF Reus is not valid due to the NIF stats being wrong.

I personally think only SIF becomes worth the upgrade in stats terms.

I appreciate the suggestions but Ramires is a CDM isn't he? I'd have to manually change him to CM?

You don't often need to. Nothing stopping you playing a CDM in the CM slot. It'll still get max chem with either manager / loyal link.

Yeh i haven't been impressed with many/any IF's i have purchased, even cabaye in His SIF wasn't mind blowing, his long shot was pretty immense though ill give him that bUT 10x the cost to pop off the occasional long shot?
 
It is really rather enjoyable scoring goals from the kick off glitch against people that just spam it against you with no success.
 
Just changing my squad around a bit Rex so can't play right away.

I do like 433-2 but I can't help but feel there's something missing. I end up going back to 41212 every single time.

I used to do that but then I felt dirty but I agree. I regressed last night as I was generally seething, mainly about my Robbery team, so after being 4-0 up and defending his kick off glitch easily each time he scored from a double rebound. He shush me as well. So I kick off glitched him and scored with Aguero nodding it in over Courtois. Played him the violin.

Didn't help my anger levels though :D.
 
What's the kick off glitch?

Well 'glitch' is a bit of a misleading term but when you send your guy that took the kick off on a run with LB / L1 and then loft the ball over to them from your CB or CM and the opponents players just don't mark them at all.
 
2 million? Lol! No where near! More like 600k.

And I thought I played well against you Rex. Should have been 3-0, hit the post lots of times.
 
88 Suarez is cheaper than Aguero now... He poo?

Bought him yesterday for 200k, haven't had a chance to really use him yet though, had him in a CAM role but moved him to a ST and will play a few games with him today when i finish off what work i have to do. If he doesnt impress by tonight ill get shot before he drops much more. Should be able to fit in 15-20 games today so ill get some kind of feel for him.
