Any thoughts on this squad squad?

I'll be honest..I've hardly seen any of those players used apart from Varane and Jesus who are said to be very good. Hard to suggest some replacements with the hybrid links. Eriksen performs much better at CAM for example, but obviously doesn't have the link.

Its an alright team, swap Rafinia for Paulhino. Varane and Casemiro are great. Semedo is quick and if we're honest thats all fullbacks need.

Robbo · 21 Oct 2017 at 16:31

Thinking of making this, I've managed to shoehorn IF Thiago in there using Bernat (to keep 10 chem). Might use Courtois over De Gea as he's so much cheaper.

Stewy · 21 Oct 2017 at 16:42

is Jesus going to be that good? I'd definitely be using Aguero

Robbo · 21 Oct 2017 at 16:45

Aguero is around 500k so a fair bit more...

Stewy · 21 Oct 2017 at 16:50

Ah right, there's only about 50k in it on Xbox.

Robbo · 21 Oct 2017 at 17:29

I've actually come up with this, comes in much cheaper than my Serie A squad (including the subs), so can possibly get Neuer too. Haven't tried this formation though.

nemtizz · 21 Oct 2017 at 17:31

Looks solid and something I would use, but with a different formation. Can you afford Boateng?

Robbo · 21 Oct 2017 at 17:39

Over Hummels? Yes. As well as Neuer? Just about.

Try 4-2-3-1(2) with that team Robbo. Bet it works a dream.

Stewy · 21 Oct 2017 at 17:51

I think you need a quick CAM this year to make the runs beyond the striker(s). Dembele scored more for me than Mbappe and Martial from CAM with his pace so I'm not sure how well Thiago will do there, you'll have to play very one-dimensionally just trying through balls straight up to Jesus as Thiago is too small and slow for anything else.

EA need to do something about these SBCs. One challenge requires all silvers and the striker is from Wolves but every Wolves player or ENG2 CAM is now 10,000. They were blatantly bought long before these challenges were released.

nemtizz · 21 Oct 2017 at 18:32

Ironically they'll probably ban you for sniping him, too.

I would, but the chemistry is harder to sort, I'll see how this goes. I'll probably try and finish WL with my Serie A side first though.

Each to their own, but I can't be arsed doing the SBC's they just feel like a chore to me.

Hoping at some point I can have him and prime Crespo up front.

Some people just store everything in club and others are a guess as to who will be required so they stockpile cards, it's just a smart way to utilise your coins really, if EA start interfering with the market even more they'll just make things worse.

Clear it, clear it, clear it...

Denied.

Stewy · 21 Oct 2017 at 20:50

that camera angle is horrible!

Quinnaay · 21 Oct 2017 at 21:04

Admittedly I had a few wolves players I invested in made about 40k but problem I had is I invested in a few golds too and EA screwed me. Sold up, first time ever since weekend league has started Inc last year where I didn't achieve atleast gold 3. I'm clearly gash at this game and seen some absolute rubbish this weekend. Defending, passing and long shots need a patch it's horrific for me and the connection has being appalling.

Messed with my team and formation too much and rush about my play and get caught out all the time. Seem to get swamped by players and can't stop it too, I genuinely feel I can tell you if I'll win or lose in the first in game 5 mins.

I like seeing all of the pitch to hit crossfield balls.
