Opps didn't see Robben there ...... Get Kelvin in there instead

Don't even consider Hulk, he's been next to useless every time I've tried him. Stick with Robben, you can make it work

In the middle of building this:
Can someone fill in the blanks? Changes welcome
I was thinking IF Gomez/TOTS Mandzukic up top. I previously had Pato but didn't think much of his finishing so got rid.
RCM - either Oscar or Ramires came to mind but have no experience of using either.
Neymar ---- Pato or Wellinton -- Hulk
Gustavo - IF Paulinho - Ramires
Alaba - Santana - Luiz - Johnson/Walker
------------ Guilherme --------
6'5 Brazilian keeper with amazing positioning and speed, he saves stuff no other keep would, trust me and he costs 700 coins.

i have found him really good but then i know he is all left footed and you need to keep him on that foot, switch to his right and he slows down and cannot shoot or cross, so best to cut in with him or just play a through ball or go wide and then run back in when you have reached the line.
basically if you get inside the box with him, finesse and shoot with his left and it's a guaranteed goal.

Damiao is the best player i have used in the air in 13, but other than that he is pretty much meh and the fact he is using a right footed left winger and a left footed right winger means damiao wouldnt be the best person for the job unless he likes to cross using the wrong feet.
and yes weak foot makes a huge difference to crosses, as does sprinting whilst crossing.

Believe me, I know how to use left footed players, I've had Robben for well over 150 games. I just think Hulk is rubbish, especially in comparison to Robben.
I found Hulk to be a bit poor, he is too sluggish and not enough of an impact player.

Hulk does have good finishing, but for me, Robben can create and take his own chances, whereas Hulk needed them making for him. That was the main difference between the two players in my experience.
Well, TOTS Balotelli trebled SIF Messi's numbers of goals in 3 games over 2 games, think he's a keeper!
Indeed, I used Hulk for a few seasons and was a bit disappointed with the goal return from a player that can shoot and finish so well.

I love TOTS Balo, he's an awesome striker. He completely outplayed TOTS Di Natale, by some distance.Well, TOTS Balotelli trebled SIF Messi's numbers of goals in 3 games over 2 games, think he's a keeper!
Is that playing him at CAM? What formation?

Really? I'll have to get him and give him a try. If he is that good, that's about 450-500k savedYou should try NIF Balotelli, he's 10 times better than the TOTS
Anyone tried IF Di Natalie and IF Miccoli? Are they any good over the NIF?
Still playing with the team below and have 360k to spend. The passing is unreal and the amout of rage quits are silly (managed to rage quit my way to winning the gold cup). Usually end up with 60% possession
Any suggestions for upgrades?
