I'm scared to use any formation that only has 3 defenders in it... I suck at defending!

352 isn't bad with 2 good CDM's, so long as you have decent CB's

Can you even build an all gold squad in Portugal?

I think it's one of those that plays better than you might think.

There's loads of decent players for cheap: Martinez, gaitain, nani, quaresma, enzo perez (seems to get everywhere in midfield

), Danilo, Alex sandro, salvio, William carvalho, Quintero, eder (a man mountain to play alongside Martinez) and Julio cesar as GK.

Sounds interesting, I'll give it a go. Not sure I've ever had a portuguese team before.

I love my 442 BPL La Liga hybrid. The team is perfect for me and is like 95% balanced. Only way I could make it 100% balanced would be changing Yaya's work rates to M/H.

SIF De Gea over Courtois would be a significant upgrade and also give an extra link... IMO hes the best keeper in the game and i've all worth mentioning...

Also why no Alves?

Courtois > De Gea. Using in form keepers is like dicing with death. So I don't agree.

Alves doesn't work with chemistry as team stands. Would put Serge on 8.

Everyone is on 10 for that team.

dacads · 9 Jan 2015 at 12:42

Not that chemistry matters anyway? If it was like 3 or something then it does make a difference, I haven't had any problems with 7-10 chemistry.

Also I haven't tried it myself but maybe you should try squad actions>instructions ?

Ayahuasca · 9 Jan 2015 at 12:49

Have you tried setting instructions for Yaya to stay back Rusty?

Stewy · 9 Jan 2015 at 12:59

I have both my full backs and my 2 CMs on 'stay back when attacking' and it works an absolute treat.

chroniclard · 9 Jan 2015 at 13:05

IF De Gea and Alves would still give 10 chem(once you get loyalty bonus)

They would be but I don't want De Gea. He's tragic in FIFA.

I don't want him to stay back really. Just not amble around quite as much. It's a minor thing and I'm loathe to change something which is working quite well.

I know HOW to change it I just can't be bothered.

Stewy · 9 Jan 2015 at 13:10

But you suck. Need more sombreros.

lol I conceded a goal yesterday due to a failed sombrero. Was rank.

Stewy · 9 Jan 2015 at 13:14

Worth it though for the chance at greatness.

chroniclard · 9 Jan 2015 at 13:17

De Gea is an awesome keeper in Fifa.

Rusty0611 · 9 Jan 2015 at 13:17

I only conceded that goal and one more in 6 games so I don't think it was. I'd definitely do it again though. Humiliation++

Stewy · 9 Jan 2015 at 13:18

I love rainbow flicking the keeper. Makes me feel I've achieved something in my life.

Rusty0611 · 9 Jan 2015 at 13:21

Ha ha yeah that is the pinnacle of humiliating your opponent. The only way I think you can better that is R2 stopping turnng back to goal then sombrero flicking over the keeper as he bites on the bait. Take some stones to pull that off though. I've sombrero volleyed a few goals and rainbowed keeper a few (not yet in 15 though) but not that. You'd need a lot of things to fall into place lol.

Stewy · 9 Jan 2015 at 13:22

Rainbow flicking is so hard because keepers just stand and catch it the vast majority of the time now. I think I've probably managed it 5 times or so this year only.

I wish I could get better at skilling, I really am bad this year.
