Solid team, with Modric being the obvious weak link.

I've heard mixed things about him, so wanted to try him first. Who would you replace him with?

(Don't say baby Gullit :mad:

90 Gullit? ?He's ace! Difficult one maybe sub someone on?

More the small matter of his cost

I'll see how Modric goes first.

Neymar 9 in 18
Hernandez 52 in 36
Dembele 13 in 27

Time to sell up I think and try a new trio.

I like Paulinho but Saul > *

I can't wait to have Viera and Blanc alongside Gullit. 98% of midfielders in La Liga suck.

I like Koke this year. First time in a while that he's actually felt useful. Couple in-forms and he'll be awesome.

I'm really struggling to finish chances, I keep using low driven but keepers keep sticking out a leg or it goes wide. Is it just a case of using normal shooting this year without going driven?

Jimbeam3678 · 29 Oct 2017 at 11:24

Driven shots still Stewy, but the angle is slightly different. It's not on the right angle of the 6 yard box but either more acute or obtuse angle to it.

Andybtsn · 29 Oct 2017 at 11:30

Chipped/dink shot brings me the most goals depending on the situation, pretty easy to read when the keeper is going to go to the ground.

Hernandes goals are mostly just power shots, not finding much luck with finesse shots unless they are the driven side footed, Messi esq ones.

Robbo · 29 Oct 2017 at 11:36

I’m mainly using driven shots but they can be a mixed bag, it depends on the player shooting too of course.

A lot of pros are using close range chip shots though, but the timing has to be perfect.

Got to play a lot of WL games today, hope CR7 lives up to the hype!

All French team is looking pretty good this year. May give it a whirl as a bit of a mix up from my Serie A team.

Jimbeam3678 · 29 Oct 2017 at 13:31

Gold 2 for the month, leaving it at 16 wins with 15 games remaining. On my jollies for 2 weeks so pointless playing any further.

Hows everyone else getting on?

Robbo · 29 Oct 2017 at 13:47

Horribly, I’m just getting slaughtered. 3-1 up and lose 7-4, defence just a shambles and they walk straight through my team. I don’t get it.

Jimbeam3678 · 29 Oct 2017 at 14:09

Want a game? Might help having a break from WL

Go on then!

Remember why I don't normally play online, just get rinsed and realise there is obviously more subtlety to this game than I manage.

Played a game earlier and my offence were repeatedly flattened by shoulder barges with no fouls given, while I was trying to simply jockey players and giving away foul after foul

Other players online also seem to get the ball to stick to their feet whilst my players get dispossessed if an opposing player so much as glances their way

Robbo · 29 Oct 2017 at 14:56

I’ve dropped my defensive line lower and that seems to be helping massively now... just have to be careful of long shots.

Sorry got side tracked, if you are still about drop me a message on PSN

Also made Gold 2 for the month and currently on 17 wins. Will get to 18 and call it.

A great start, awful in the middle and then a good finish. 7 wins straight today.

Wouldn’t mind a mess around with my team but will wait for rewards/monthlies and see if anything nice happens.
