FIFA 14

picked up Reus the other day and so far he's doing nothing to justify the price tag!

currently using him a LM in 41212, guess he plays better at LW!

what formations have you guys had the most success with? I am currently switching between 4231 and 433(2) and 41212 with a german/bpl hybrid!
I am still tempted get Neymar but his lack of strength puts me off.

@spluff I have used Modric as cdm in some games and he's actually decent at tackling..

Aubameyang is ridiculously OP.

Lew can score some ridiculous goals given time inside the box to power a shot up, other than that he isn't useful, he's only useful inside the box really but deadly when the ball comes to him in the right places.

Auba is more well rounded, DAT pace certainly makes him impossible to defend against as he can just run past everyone for fun.

I would try and use both together.

I feel dirty using Aubamayang he's that OP

.

I think I'll go without him for now then, I have Costa and Benzema along side Aubamayang who both have incredible finishing and can be useful outside the box too. 40k seems steep for a poacher to be honest.

Cheers.

He means, Lewandowski is very good, but he'll make him sound worse because he's not as fast as Aubameyang, and in Sonny's world pace = all.

Lewandowski was great for me, really nice to have him this year as his HH workrates ruined him last year, but this year he is on the end of everything, good in the air, pretty strong, agile, good shooting in & out of the box, 4* skills on him is really welcome (Although I do fear he'll be 3* again next year).

I really need to try his SIF at some point, but had him in a 433-4 Bundes team for about 140 games and he was great, might have to go buy him again tonight, now!

I rebought Lewandowski last night after I decided to stop messing around with weird squads. He's so good it's unreal.

Give me a shout if you ever want a game, Im still pretty woeful at scoring and not a fan of the OP attacking AI - makes it too easy at times!

Sure will do.

my world?

is that why people don't like it when people use Ibarbo, etc on here? why is that? is it because they are fast maybe?

nothing to do with me, pace is OP in the game hugely and Aubameyang is one of those that is great at abusing it as is Etoo.

Lew is great but Auba is too for much cheaper, both are completely different strikers.

If in my world pace = all then why do I recommend Jovetic to everyone over Etoo?

Why do I recommend Vucinic to everyone over Ibarbo?

Has rusty's talking complete nonsense about me actually worked on you? especially since he's never played me, therefore knows nothing about how I play.

spluff · 9 Apr 2014 at 13:22

Ive got Aub in my german team - I don't spam long thru balls all game so don't feel bad about using him

If I do get a break away he is good but often can get pulled back with the stupidly overpowered shirt pulling (and no fouls)

Cheers topher Ive bought modric will try later

rhysduck · 9 Apr 2014 at 13:31

Picked this up again on the weekend and people are still spamming long through balls and over the top balls to their forwards... one guy had an amazing team and did that, stamped that out straight away and beat him 4-0.

Full of horrible little kids tho

Why do parents buy the PS4's?

I could play you if you like passing game but you probably wouldn't see much of the ball

Yeah, stick 5 in the middle if you plan on taking happy on with a passing game

I'm still talking about THAT goal

.....pity the game went wrong! haha

I don't play FUT any more but I noticed I was gifted 2 free packs, so I opened them up and pulled Sergio Ramos in one of them. Anyone interested in him for a fair price? Xbox here.

spluff · 9 Apr 2014 at 14:01

Ill have to give u a game sometime happy are u on ps4?

spluff · 9 Apr 2014 at 14:01

Davey the freepacks are not tradeable I think

Yeah was a great goal but the 6-1 score line was far too harsh. 5 in the middle is nothing, dredd was using 5 in defence and ultra defensive. Took me ages to break through that and he almost got me on the counter

6-1!? where did these 2 extra goals come from :eek:

The fact it was 4-1 was bad enough

Robert1986 · 9 Apr 2014 at 14:22

Happy is probably the best passer of the ball I've seen in Fifa. He plays like he is playing chess and can see 3 or 4 passes ahead of him. I never know how to close him down.

Think it was 5-1. But you did stop playing properly after 4, I think last goal was a penalty. But first half I should have been 2-1 down but instead was winning by that score line. First overhead goal I have seen though I wanted to watch the replay as well but you pressed the button

i agree, i just run at with a few players then slide tackle him all at once
