No I understand what you're saying.

Since I started Fifa, 41212 and 433-2 were my main formations. 433-2 was fantastic for me with Lewan up front and that's why I want to put Ibra in a 433-2 but ofcourse they're totally different players and I just don't see Ibra working for me in 433-2.

I've got a feeling he would excel with a partner striker.

Maybe with a CF he would but instead of choosing the right players to fit in the formation you doing it the wrong way round. Neymar would work as a cf in the hole but it sounds like youre playing a predictable game in that you are not thinking 3-4 moves ahead just where the next pass is going which will be a doddle to counter.

As for 433 ,20 games may not be enough. It took me a couple of month to fully get to grips with new formations where you are thinking the old one was better. I enjoy football because there are so many layers and so much depth but your barely skimming the top really

Plus if you are going to get obsessed about formations it really does help to fully understand football in real life

Tom I dread to think how you're playing if you're not getting on with Ibra in a 433(2). He was monstrous for me there. Causing mayhem every game, linking the midfield, putting wingers in, skill runs...

Ibra isn't a great ping it up striker as his workrates mean he won't keep up with the counter-attack. If you want to counter with him you're going to have to use him to bring the ball or L1+X it with him. You can't play the same with every player you have to adjust to their strengths and weaknesses.

He just stands on the halfway line all game for me Rusty.

I think he wants to be the ref sometimes.

Robert1986 · 20 Mar 2014 at 12:55

Tom, I have been very patient here waiting for you.

Atleast you could do is let me play you one more time so I can try and help you out.

He didn't stand there all game. You got him into the box plenty of times for crosses, shots ect. Its just you trying to justify changing everything up when there isn't really a problem in the first place.

Sent you an invite, again. Thats like 5 or something now.

Drake5 · 20 Mar 2014 at 12:58

Go play someone else lol. I'm building dude.

You aint building Rome here, Tom.

I only logged onto to fifa to play a few games with you after you said you wanted my help. You are wasting my time.

He doesn't - he's got low defensive work rate. It'll take him a while to get back to the half way line. Sure if you haven't had the ball for a bit he will eventually drop all the way back.

Drake5 · 20 Mar 2014 at 13:07

Ready Rob?

Robert1986 · 20 Mar 2014 at 13:10

Playing Rex, give me 5 mins.

WTF. Ibra just ALWAYS stands on the half way line.

Seriously he is useless in a 1 striker formation. He does nothing. Never makes runs.

He made much better runs in 433-4, I'm sure of it. Maybe because the CAM is pushing him up.

WHAAAT THE HECK??

433-4 is a 1 striker formation too, talk about contradiciton! :confused:

I can generally mind build & then create an entire working squad in 10 mins and have it ready ingame, why do you dawdle so much?

Drake5 · 20 Mar 2014 at 13:15

You're taking what I said totally out of context. Lots of people like to do that here it seems.

He played better for me in 433-4 without a doubt and I'll end up building another 433-4 later today I think.

Could I do anything to this to get LCM on full chem?

Robert1986 · 20 Mar 2014 at 13:22

Almost finished this game with rex.

sorry

im such a noob im not sure what a lot of that means

does it matter what league i choose to build a team around (or is it just a chemistry thing?)

Not sure about formation, is 433 (4) good with lewandowski?

I think ideally you would want a team that plays in the same club/league/country so you get the best chemistry, as for formation its hard to recommend to some else as everyone has different play styles.

As you already have some good Bundesliga players you could start with Bundesliga team which usually consist of players form Borussia Dortmun & Bayern München (best players in Bundesliga). I would check out futhead.com and build a team so see that the chemistry you can get heres a team someone else made: http://www.futhead.com/14/squads/8462595/

This is my current team its not worth 270k I am still saving up slowly but I found it to be a good start, the sub bench is the players i am aiming to buy. : http://www.futhead.com/14/squads/8446028/

Why did you leave, Tom?
