I've had some 'lessons' from my wife's 15 year old cousin.
He gave me some really valuable tips on playing Fifa in general and I'm actually starting to score and beat people comfortably. Even in games I get beat, I can dominate posession so I'm now trying to learn to make some better chances. I tend to knock through balls over to Cavani or Pazzini, leaving Hamsik free or put early crosses over which (if he's on) Gilardino happily nods in.
Here's my team, comments welcome:
GK: Buffon
RB: Zanetti
CB: Thiago Silva
CB: Samuel
LB: Capdevilla
CM: Hernanes
CM: De Rossi
CM: Krasic (though he's RM)
CF: Hamsik
ST: Pazzini
ST: Cavani
(4-3-1-2)
Chemistry 100, rating 83.
SUBS:
Chivu, Nesta, Juan, Rossi, Cassano, Gilardino, Thiago Motta, Pirlo, Stankovic.
Got about 12k in coins and probably another couple of k on the trade pile. Seems a long slog to add an Eto'o (even the 84 one) and players like Maicon.
Often play Gilardino rather than Pazzini. He just 'works' with my style of play and seems to make a lot of space for Hamsik or Cavani. Even De Rossi gets forward and has a fairly decent shot on him.
