I never upgraded, just bought the 87 originally

Ah, I didn’t know that.

I’m not sure what to do, my Bundesliga defence is going to be looking expensive with Boateng/Neuer/Alaba. I like Vidal but I just don’t think he’s as good as Nainggolan was in my Serie A team.

Sold up and gone for a Serie A team (was my favourite league past 2 years so new it wouldn't be long) looks so OP yet to use it though. Back on the 4231 band wagon with pace up top. Sweaty just how i like it.

4231 does seem to be a favoured formation this year, I just don't like how far the LM/RM and CAM/ST sit.

My seria a team isn't to pricey but is good:
GK- donnaruma
LB: 1Ghoulam
RB: Lichtsteiner
CBs Manolas / Benatia
CM's - Matuidi, marchisio, khedera
LF: Insigni
ST: Belotti
RF: Cuadrado

There;s a squad on twitter that looks good but i'll have to sell up to try it:
GK: Cech
LB Alonso
RB:Walker
LCB: Bailly
RCB:Rudiger
CM's; Herrera , bakayoko, alli
LF: Martial
ST: Benzema
RF: Dembele

oh and Futbin are close to having the futsync type thing setup which will be ace

What’s the deal with offline drafts, it feels so easy even on Legendary - I’m talking hammering teams 5-0. Usually my offline difficulty is World Class and even then it’s a tight game.

4231 doesn't have Lm/Rm's that's 4231 (2)

Andybtsn · 27 Oct 2017 at 11:55

Pedant, but I thought he was referring to the latter. Okay, 4231 narrow is not a favoured formation and you will be soon changing it, Quinnay

Robbo · 27 Oct 2017 at 12:01

In theory I think the 4231 with CAM’s could work better than 4321. I assume people just drop strikers to CAM for the role?

Andybtsn · 27 Oct 2017 at 12:36

Possibly however probably best changing in game as there are better wingers than there are CAMS in the game.

Quinnaay · 27 Oct 2017 at 13:07

Yes the cam version. Imo much better than the lm rm version due to being more narrow reducing the distance which you complained about. Also opens up STs to be used as cams as mentioned.

Sui · 27 Oct 2017 at 13:31

Still don't get defending, all these crappy little skill moves all the time. Reckon I'm probably just a bit too eager with the standing tackle button, although it doesn't help matters when my defenders just seem to back off all the time so they have loads of room to shoot.

Might have to stick to single player for a while until I've re-taught myself to be more patient!

Robbo · 27 Oct 2017 at 13:34

87 Luis Hernandez going up front with Aubameyang, he better be good.

Andybtsn · 27 Oct 2017 at 13:49

You suck if you fail with him

He has averaged around 2 goals a game for me in 25 odd games.

Be interested to hear your thoughts on Sandro as I thought he was a bit meh this year. Be happy if you say otherwise though

Andybtsn · 27 Oct 2017 at 14:28

This is my current team of choice

Spent about as much as I did in the whole of 17

I'm not in your league yet!

This is crazy. I’m against a guy and his players are all faster than mine, the game just feels so sluggish... Aubameyang can’t even outrun the defenders!
