Good shout. Szczesny is only 8 everyone else is on 10. I am thinkin of changing Benzema for Aguero and Ben Arfa for Navas, will make the move for Courtois then if required.

Edit - De Gea is another keep that would get me chemistry links with both CB's.
 
Haven't found a formation I like at all this year.

Like Rusty, I found 4231 ridiculous last year (again with Zarate), it's okay this year but... meh. 41212 is incredibly boring and rigid but does a job, I suppose.

I think I'm the only one who has never been able to get on with 4231. I hated it that much in 13 I've not even tried it in 14.

Best formation other than 5221 IMO.

Key positions were your H/H CDM and your CF. I found that any M/L CF would do ridiculously good things. I had Zarate there initially and... yeah. Then I tried IF Muriel (for troll) and he was also amazing. Settled on IF Balo.

You'd think Di Natale would have been a better CF but his high attacking work rate often put him in the ST position straight away unless you were quick to get the ball to him.

No idea why the 4231 doesn't have a CF this year. It's annoying.
 
Yea the CF used to be great had a lot of freedom in that position. No idea why they replaced it with a CAM :( it sucks.
 
After looking at the chemistry styles I've realised all my players are on 9 chem in both teams. I vaguely remember the manager helping with this in FIFA 13. Does it need to be same nationality or league?
 
It can be either, a Belgian manager with premiership as his league would give any belgians +1 chemistry and any BPL players +1 chemistry, however it would NOT give Belgian BPL players +2.

Yeah you can get +1 from a manager (either nation or league link, having both linked still only gives +1) or you get another +1 once the player is 'loyal'.

Loyalty is granted automatically if you pulled from a pack or after 10 games played.

Balotelli any good in this game?

They say Di Natale and Balotelli is the best combo to use up front if you can afford them in Serie A.

If not then Ibarbo, Muriel, Gomez, IF Milito and Vucinic are worth looking at.

that guy has updated his reviews on every player in the game near enough.

He now has Neymar and Ibra as the top 2 strikers in the game.

"Overall Rankings by Position (This will be updated as I add more players to the OP)

Please keep in mind that these rankings factor in all of the criteria mentioned in the OP. They are NOT just based on performance or pure card stats.


Striker
1. Neymar
2. Ibrahimovic
3. Jovetic
4. Ibarbo
5. Di Natale
6. Gomez
7. Cavani/Benteke/Drogba/Mandzukic
11. Jackson Martinez
12. Eto'o
13. Balotelli
14. Daniel Sturridge
15. PE Aubameyang
16. Sergio Aguero
17. Diego Costa (would be higher if he didn't cost 4-6x as much as Benteke/Drogba/Mandzukic)
18. RVP
19. Falcao
20. Karim Benzema
21. Robert Lewandowski

CF
1. Luis Suarez
2. Rooney
3. Carlos Tevez
4. Gareth Bale

Wingers
1. Reus/Lavezzi/Pedro
4. Nani
5. Robben
6. Ribery
7. Shurrle/Ben Arfa
8. Carlos Vela
9. Cerci
9. Ashley Young
10. Hazard/Willian
11. Hulk
12. Farfan

CAM
1. Nasri

4. Prince Boateng/Eriksen
5. Mkhitaryan

CM
1. Schwein
2. Vidal
3. Fellaini
4. Hernanes
5. Xavi (only here because he is relatively cheap)
6. Gundogan

CDM
1. Gustavo
2. Yaya Toure

LB
1. Eliseu
2. Gibbs
3. Enrique
4. Alaba (would be higher, but honestly gets beat too often by good players who exploit his attacking prowess)

RB
1. Lahm
2. Konko
3. Piszczek


CB
1. Sergio Ramos
2. Kompany
3. David Luiz
4. Chiellini/Thiago Silva
5. Younes Kaboul


Note the emptiness of certain positions and the plethora of strikers. This speaks VOLUMES about how this year's game seems to emphasize certain positions (at least in my opinion) and their overall effectiveness/contribution to the team."

Glad I'm not the only one who's struggling to find a formation which suits.

I've bought Ibra now see if he fixes all issues!

I've found that I have to mix it up depending on the formation I'm playing against. Start off with 4231 or 4222, but if the other team plays three at the back, I switch to 433.

Back four is from four different leagues and nationalities, likewise with the midfielders. There are barely any links there.
 
Account got hacked by some Russian, EA support absolutely useless, gave them the fifa 14 key linked to it and they said it isn't enough and want other codes to sims etc that I got through giveaways on here and no longer have emails for.

No point getting it back anyway, all my players will be gone and EA wont even try to replace them.
 
Is anyone else upgrading from PS3 to PS4 this weekend??

I'm a little unsure as to how to go about this to be honest - do I literally trundle in to Game with my PS3 copy and assume they will give me the £40 guaranteed trade-in?

The only reason I ask is despite it saying "Game– Get a £40 guaranteed trade in value when you upgrade from PlayStation 3 to the PlayStation 4 version of FIFA 14. See retailer page for details." on the EA website, I can't see anything about it on the Game website and don't want to look a total plum! (not a huge stretch either considering I've got the worst 'stache on my top lip anyway! ;))
