lavezzi could be replaced with IF Griezmann or maybe Villa,

replace benzema with Neymar or SIF Dos Santos?
Is Neymar worth getting if I don't really use skills all that often!

Neymar is great, his skills just make him even better.

I'd keep Benzema there in the above team, you need someone strong like him or Diego Costa IMO

Neymar and his running scoop is ridiculously good.

Is there a nack to it? Even with Ibra 90% of the time it turns into a fake shot... I never had this issue on 13

I've thought that, I suck with scoop turns this year although I do rarely skill. His 5* WF, pace and passing are more useful for me than anything else. Finishing is pretty meh imo.

Yep, running scoop turns are hell this year for some reason, fed up of watching Neymar, Ronnie & Nani fake shotting

Suarez7 · 20 Jan 2014 at 23:34

If there is slight lag then skills become a nightmare to use effectively. Standing scoop turn in the box to win those penalties lol, few people just get annoyed and slide right through the back of my player when they realise what I'm about to do.

Anyone with a BPL team needs Van Persie. He is scoring for fun for me.

Goberpiles316 · 20 Jan 2014 at 23:54

I found RVP awful.

Suarez7 · 21 Jan 2014 at 00:04

Just depends on your playstyle, I'm fine with slower strikers but some literally can't play FUT without 90+ pace.

cHk4 · 21 Jan 2014 at 00:08

You know it's moments like that when I like having Ronaldo, managing to skill past 4 people then shoot and score, it's satisfying although happens like once every 20 games for me lol.

I've had some lag free games tonight and actually enjoyed them, trying 41212 with Neymar again. Ibra I can use as a sole ST but playing with a striker next to him I seem rubbish.

As a dual striker he seems to end up too wide out and gets a bit lost, I found similar when using him & Neymar in 442(2).

If you can't 1-2 pace abuse or lob through balls for him to run onto then he is useless, Otherwise, fantastic player.

Is Rooney a good striker on this? I play 4-1-2-1(thinking about buying Rooney to put here)- 2.

Yea, he was great for me. As I couldn't pace with him I'd literally get the ball and pretty much fire it from wherever I was... I scored so many like that.

Obviously if you've sprinted you have to wait until you're back at just dribbling pace before you can scoop turn. The only other thing that drives it is that you don't try to make too acute an angle on the scoop turn as well.

From what you've said it sounds like you're trying to scoop turn while sprinting or too soon after taking your finger off R2/RT.

Pretty annoyed that my left analogue rubber (ds4 controller) has totally ripped/torn already...im going to head over to GAME shortly and kick up a stink

id say that im really easy going on controllers to be honest, which makes it especially annoying. :mad:
