So in real football my fake left, exit right didn't go well but I did give a keeper the snakehips to make up for it. And I rolled my ankle heel chopping. Going to stick to skills in FIFA.

5 a side? I try some dodgy skills when playing indoors, rolled my ankle before as well and did ligament damage.
 
7 a side. We play in a local league. Bagged 4 goals today but that was our first game since Christmas so we massively faded for the last 20 mins. Conceded 5 goals after being 7-0 up. Won 8-5 but if the fitness was there it would have been better.

We were struggling at 7-5 but did a 1-2 with my mate and he stuck me in left of goal but slightly overhit the return and the pitch was like grease and the ball ran away from me... managed to reel it in, dink it over/round the keeper and in but got whacked afterwards by the keeper coming out which made my leg cramp up as I went over. Didn't realise I had squeezed it in till I had my leg stretched out.

I've had a dodgy ankle for months now no idea what's wrong with it. Ever since I tried an elastico it's been knackered. I pulled it off but I think I got excited that I had and then just completely rolled my ankle on the exit. Never been the same since. Even stepping on a stone in the street can cause it to twang again.

If you were to FIFA me (contextually) I'd have good finishing, OK pace, tragic passing, 4* skills, 4* weak foot, low defensive work rate and high attacking work rate :D.

So your dream was close to being real? :D

My knees are fine but my right ankle is absolutely destroyed again. I don't even know why I bother. I know I'll roll it trying anything that requires your ankle to take the strain and push off in the opposite direction. It's agonising every time it rolls as well and today was no different. Took me a good 10 minutes to run it off.

433(5) is what I use at the moment.

Cesar
Mariano - Silva - Dante - Filipe
Melo
Ramires - Diego
Hulk - Costa / Pato - Willian

Could you afford that? Could use Juan Jesus, Santana or Naldo instead of Silva if it's a bit too much.

edit: La Liga-wise, as long as you have Pepe and Varane CBs and Benzema somewhere you can't really go wrong.

I currently have 55k spare :) thanks for the suggestion
 
You know even with my really good team I do really miss my BPL team out of them all.

RVP/Aguerro
William/Rooney/Navas
Toure/Eissen
Kompany/Luis/Some other geezer.

Debating re making it.
 
Carlos Vela really is surprisingly good, much better than Di Maria, IF Pedro looks good, but a bit weak, but might try him at some point, I just wish IF Vela was a Winger!
 
I used IF Pedro after he first came out for a good 50 or so games, he was good, but like you said, weak. Never made something out of nothing, but was in a good position and did the job well.
 
I am still using my prem side:

All the guys get used and swapped around each match to help fitness. (Except the keeper, I had to buy someone so I could advance into game due to 2 injuries)

My last game where I was 5-0 at half time the opponent crunched both my defenders, then disconnected at half time.

To me it's a strong squad but once I play my mate with a top Brazilian squad, I get steamrolled! Very strong them brazilians!
 
Taking mick out of my team were you? :p

Probably, that's what happens in this thread. :)

Personally i'd of gone for two seperate teams rather than one team with subs.

It just works better that way..

You're team looks decent... For the lower leagues, you'll need to up youre game for Div 5 and above though.. :)

How does the second team work? Can i still use them in the same division?

Yeah,

What you do is have 2 Squads.. With all the same players in..

So in mine, i have my Seri A Squad, which has my Seri A team on the pitch and my whole bundesliga team on the bench/reserves..

In my Bundesliga squad i have my Bunes team on the pitch and my seri A team on the bench..

This way i can switch between them without having to use any fitness items.. As they gain fitness by being on the bench/reserves..

Its common practice for many players. :)
