If you don't mind one player on 8 chem you could swap the following
Lavezzi > El Shaawary
Coentrao > Constant
Moutinho > De Rossi
Ramos > Chiellini

8 chem would not do my OCD much good.

Diakite instead of UP Koscielny / Kaboul?!

I didn't realise Kaboul would go there, I thought it would mess up chem but he goes in fine.

Diakite is just asking for trouble, of all the defenders you could choose he's definitely not one them. Personally if you want a solid defence I would focus on the following

Thiago
Ramos
Benatia
Chiellini

Thiago and Ramos would be my first choice!

Almost impossible to get them together with Ibra in a 4231-2.

I'm going to give the above posted squad a try with Kaboul instead of Diakite. Work rates seems OK I think!

Ibra
Up Jese Rodriguez - Menez - Lucas
Khedira/Alonso - Cabaye
Alba - Ramos - Thiago - Marino
Casillas

Wasn't that difficult.

BaloBEAST is back. 5 goals in his first game!

2 teams. 1 costing 45k and the other 13k. Probably the best teams i have ran.

No Brazilian GKs with long throw?

ps3ud0 :cool:

Ibra is just a PITA to hybrid into any decent cheap team.

Is he really worth 500 trillion coins more than Jovetic?

Yes.

Yes.

even though the rest of the team suffers as a consequence?

it's a team game having 1 great player with a few average in there for chemistry over a team full of great players is just going to hurt the team as a whole.

If I had to choose a CB pairing it would have to have

Chiellini - SIF Benatia or Ramos - Pepe or Ramos - IF Miranda or IF Miranda - Silva or Silva - Luiz.

Kaboul is great but he's no SIF Benatia. I got Benatia when he was really cheap too (before his upgrade), he was ridiculous for the coins best CB in the game bar probably both TOTY CB's. After his upgrade I wouldn't be surprised if he's better than them or at least on PAR with them.

If you cannot win games with Jovetic in a decent team then having Ibra in a team with a few compromises isn't going to get you wins either.

Is he really though, or are you forcing yourself to believe that?

If you are a good attacker then you should be able to do just as well with the likes of Vucinic/Balo/Sturridge/Benteke/Jovetic etc etc. Paying an insane amount of coins and expecting him to do better for you because he cost that much is silly if you can't attack well in the first place.

He's beyond good so I don't believe so, no.

You can get him in really strong squads if you use one of the 433 variants which most people, I just wanted to try something different.

happy_2008 · 24 Mar 2014 at 13:39

Not being funny but most people i have played using him in a 4-3-3 only cross the ball to him to head in. Probably explains why you like to use him, its the very same with the normal front 3 of Reus - Lewandoski - Blaszorski.

Well I don't like him in a 433 at all, he just gets lost in my opinion.

On another note, Menez is an absolute beast. I'm going to get SIF Matuidi soon.

happy_2008 · 24 Mar 2014 at 13:49

Told you earlier Menez was a beast but you ignored me.................

He's scored the most goals for me in 4231-2, it seems perfect for him. All of my players seem to make the right runs.

I also think he'd be wasted in a 2 striker formation.

The only thing that lets it down is the slopp back 4.

IF Digne - IF Alex - Silva -Mariano.

Why not mix the back 4 up then ie: IF N'Koulou & IF Bedimo?

Up for tonight then, sugarplum? Just don't do a Tom & disappear after 1 game

I went for this instead mate, it plays really well so far.

Obviously used this back 4 a lot before and it's amazing. Cech is an absolute OP beast as well.

I think I can put Navas for Lucas as well if I want.

GreenMint · 24 Mar 2014 at 14:18

Not bad at all, Toure is a beast

Forget Navas, put Ben Arfa in at RM and IF Debuchy at RB!

Just bought Neymar for 190k.................lets hope hes worth it

Psycho Sonny · 24 Mar 2014 at 14:32

Menez was my discovery in FUT 11 he has never been as good as that card in the newer fifas but still very good, his 11 card was godly.

http://www.futwiz.com/en/player/jeremy-menez/4291/history/fifa11

5 star skills, 5 star weak foot and he had a finesse shot which was ridiculously good.

Pairing him with Lavezzi as CAM's in a 4222 in 11 with Ibra and Anelka or IF Henry up front was deadly.

Back then the strikers in a 4222 was a dead link, so you could use IF Henry with Ibra or Anelka and Milito no problems, etc.

Back then FUT was a wonderful game and everyone enjoyed it.
