4-2-3-1 is immense, best formation i have used so far.

since passing is important and the way the full backs run up, you ideally need to have as many player's in the midfield as possible, without leaving you short at the back, so any formation which has 2 cdm's and 4 at the back is ideal i feel.

with 3 atb your just too exposed on the wings so it doesn't work.

not lost a game so far when using 4231 (either version).

i also take ages picking my defensive 7 players (GK, back 4 and 2 cdm's), analysing every stat there is on futwiz, work rates, defensive ability, physical presence, etc.

here's my teams which i have built without buying any packs got 5k to spend as well

Liga BBVA

http://www.easports.com/uk/fifa/football-club/ultimate-team/show-off?showoffId=e6bAfS9NnJ7EA:ps3

looking to buy Costa (the animal) for Aduriz up front, Aduriz with his 88 heading is amazing up against weak CB's, i played one game where every goal kick, free kick, long ball, hoofed up to him he won with ease and knocked it on to a team mate or brought down with ease, he's like Drogba in his prime and costs less than 1000 coins.

Serie A

http://www.easports.com/uk/fifa/football-club/ultimate-team/show-off?showoffId=hEz0wHCWnJ7EC:ps3

looking to buy Gomez next for Milito

BPL (work in progress)

http://www.easports.com/uk/fifa/football-club/ultimate-team/show-off?showoffId=bq5sFlJYnJ7EG:ps3

not happy with Jagielka (will upgrade to Vertonghen when i can afford him), then upgrade Verm to Kompany.

Ivanovic doesn't look too good either for chasing down through balls or fast winger's, but i was willing to try him out because his defence and heading are so high.

Garcia and Essien look the business defensively, will upgrade Garcia to Toure when I can (long time away).

Jarvis will do for now, Mirallas looks decent though for the coins, will upgrade both when I can.

Need a CAM with high passing and dribbling and long shots on the cheap.

Not looked at strikers yet but there's so many good ones in the BPL it's gonna be hard to choose, I like well rounded ones, good heading, pace and dribbling.

Will keep Begovic for a while, he looks good, until i can blow major cash on Cech or whoever is top dog below 30K, 6'7 this time round? wtf did he grow 2 inches in a year?


basically i'm quite happy with the liga bbva and serie A teams, i don't think they can be upgraded much without major coins like Chiellini, Ramos, Balotelli, Benzema, etc.

might look at better CAM's and winger's but they were the the pick of the bunch i was looking at for my budget.

BPL team though looks like will be a work in progress for a long time.

will build Ligue 1 and Bundesliga teams too soon, once i save up 50K or so.

probably end up trying Brazil again too, but Silva is gonna be hard to buy.
 
did you buy the season ticket last year?

it auto renews, i was pretty peaved off when i found this out on like tues/wed and pretty much missed out on most of the 7 day early access, plus £20 or however much it was going missing from my psn credit.

you have to go into account management to disable it, which i have now done so.

I did buy the season ticket last year but I don't know how it can have automatically taken the cash/credit because I never save my card details and only have about 30p credit in my wallet at the moment!?!?! :confused:

I'll be an unhappy camper if it turns out it has auto-renewed somehow because a) I'm on the fence about getting the game anyway, 2) if I do get it, I wasn't going to spend any real money on FUT this year and d) I wasn't sure of even playing FUT because on 12 it pretty much made all the other modes unplayable!!! :mad::mad::mad:
 
Kone 26 goals in 14 games, some guy even messaged after I scored a hat-trick with Kone saying you may as well sell Kone now as EA are gonna nerf him :D hahahahaha priceless!

yeah i'm pretty peeved off about it, money missing now from my credit which i was saving for GTA 5 DLC's, and i didn't even get to play the early access much, by the time i found out, it was nearly over.

basically missed out big time.

i have cancelled it now though, so make sure your's is now cancelled.

i should probably delete my credit card details now tbh as well to be super safe, no doubt PS+ is set to auto renew as well.

will google how to do it tomorrow
 
I always check subscriptions for auto renewal right after purchase, PS+ was cancelled right away to avoid me forgetting in 15 months time.

How much cheaper are points with EA's season pass thing?
 
Gone back to Benteke as he's just too good :<

Ok this is what I've put together with around 50 packs and little to no knowledge...

I've got 85k coins, who should I be looking to buy?

I'd either switch to 442 to increase chem for Willian and Lennon, or keep 4222 and replace Willian and Lennon with CAMs. Perhaps get some CDMs too if you're going to keep that formation.

It's all a matter of taste really, but my biggest issue with that team would be no presence in midfield. I'd want an enforcer, like Yaya Toure, Fellaini, Tiote, even Fletcher.

Cool mate thanks for that, I should have gone to bed I just accidentally paid over 20k more than I should have for Rooney :(
 
Yay, my first UT loss goes to....the guy I had beat 4-0 then when the game was finished it say's problem connecting to UT servers blah de blah, oh look no win and it goes against me as a DNF. Love it :)

Is it worth just position changing them?
 
Used Balo for 5 games and he is just as good as he was in 13. Holds off everyone and just runs through players. Not tried Di Natale yet but I have him. I'd imagine he would be very hard to play with because of his strength... Give him space and he will be unstoppable... just like last year.

Gomez is also really good. Best cheap striker next to Vucinic.

Sounds about right. Might throw Balo up top and Di Natale CAM, or maybe switch him for Tevez (dem physical stats). Not sure on CAM yet. Giovinco has been okay so far.

Handanovič with glove is a beast, right?!
 
FIFA 14 must be the most frustrating FIFA yet for me (been playing it since FIFA 09). It just doesn't sit well with my style of play so it's time to learn and adapt (and get beaten a lot in the process!)

One thing I find odd though, is that every single match I've played online (only about 10 so far) I've been "away". Is there is a reason for this or is it just a silly bug? I have seen it suggested that it's to do with my internet connection but I'm not having that as I'm on BT Infinity (38 down, 9 up) and my speedtest and pingtest (line quality) tests are always spot on.
 
Wow they have really made crosses hard to defend and easy to score. All the time my players refuse to jump or connect with the ball!

This doesn't bode well for me, one of my pet peeves on 13 was conceding random headers from crosses! :(

How are the other modes in comparison to FUT? 13 was ruined for me because the other modes were soooooo much slower than FUT!!
