Nice line up I'm surprised they all get 10 chem with Boateng & Lahm would be pain to play against that midfield looks nasty.

Wondering if i really need wide players or possibly im better off with 4-3-2-1 although traditionally i don't play well with this formation. Against fellow ocUks i rarely cross the ball but i agree that midfielder does look rather sweet

I chose Pedro over Di Maria due to his 5 star weak foot and perfect links.

Armero - Ibarbo

D) - Cuadrado
Marchisio - Vidal - Pogba
Asamoah - Caceres - Chiellini - Abate
Handanovic

Current squad. A few matches in and seems to play well, very good passing wise. Armero has a mean left peg, sweaty Ibarbo speaks for himself.

Ibarbo is literally a sweat feast! I have him as sub but only bring him on against the sweaty players. Prefer to use Vucinic and Balotelli!

Yup, I wouldn't use him against any OCUK'ers but online? I don't care

Vucinic is excellent as he was in 13, him and Tevez are great up front together, like using them in 3-1-4-2

You know it's going to be a cross spam when you see a BPL 41212 squad.

Can you not cross spam with any other team?

Rusty0611 · 19 Mar 2014 at 15:14

41212 ain't great for cross spam actually. The wide men tuck in a bit lol.

Drake5 · 19 Mar 2014 at 15:16

You just know it's going to be a sweaty game. All the way through this guy has just spammed lobbed through balls from his defenders up to his attackers.

Such a boring style of play.

4222 seems to be cross spam heaven with the right (wrong) players.

Can also be perfect for a complete passing game

Really liking 433-4 at the moment. I think it's Ibras best formation. It's easy to feed the ball to him and I seem to create a lot of chances (Not finishing them all though

)

The passing of the squad doesn't feel as good as Robs squad though.

happy_2008 · 19 Mar 2014 at 15:54

Maybe the problem is with your style of play and not with the players?

Drake5 · 19 Mar 2014 at 15:58

What problem? Can you read or?

Won 10-0 again lol.

Insane really.

As soon as I go into seasons I'll get battered.

this is why you cannot compare records directly.

some people only play seasons and therefore have a higher number of draws than cup only (where there are no draws). they are also up against tough opponents constantly once they get into the top 2 divisions.

whereas in the cup you could be playing noobs constantly.

I can read and i was referring to your "passing" not as good as rob comment :rolleyes:

The passing wasn't as good as Robs squad, which goes without saying because it's pretty much a Barca midfield.

happy_2008 · 19 Mar 2014 at 16:24

I beg to disagree. When i played Rob against his Barcelona team, i pretty much outpassed his midfielders with Thiago & Kroos both in CDM. At one point he did have the upper hand but once settled it was an interesting confrontation.

Drake5 · 19 Mar 2014 at 16:34

Really considering putting Neymar at CAM in 433-4 or 4231-2. Anyone know how well he does as a CAM?

Rusty0611 · 19 Mar 2014 at 16:49

I played him in that formation with Xavi and Hernanes as CMs. Worked alright. You're not buying more coins are you?

It's never ending once you start you'll want just another player and buy more and more. He ain't going to solve any problems you're having. Will just give you a skiller in that pocket of space behind Ibra. His passing isn't the greatest for releasing your wingers / Ibra though. It's OK but not special.
