Soooooo, thoughts on this team? https://www.futbin.com/17/squad/4064228

Obviously not ideal with the strikers being off chem, but so far I've no real issues with the way they're playing.

I took advantage of the lower prices and bought this team the other day, everyone is on 9 chem for the record. The top three are pretty beastly, I had IF Herrera but he didn't impress me so changed him for Gueye.

(Son is at CAM for the record, Mane up top)

two decents sides, let us know how they play

Andybtsn · 23 May 2017 at 11:26

I also played a top 100 player in div 1 last night and lost 6-2, that was an eye opener. He was completely ruthless in front of goal and passed square at every available opportunity, funnily enough I was winning at one point too then collapsed in the last ten mins!

Watching a few of the pros play from the weekend, and yea, I can see that, they hardly shoot outside of the box! I am spamming shots in from everywhere. Probably why I am an average Div2 player :rolleyes:

JustBen · 23 May 2017 at 11:51

i know i shoot far to much from outside of the box. although people like thauvin if he has a clear shot will often score. although i do waste loads with other people. seem to get near the area then want to shoot asap instead of build uo play.

Patience is key. I have none, I just try to score with every attack

Who was it out of interest?

Andybtsn · 23 May 2017 at 12:14

I can't remember the name, began with cr or something

JustBen · 23 May 2017 at 12:17

how does chemistry affect the players? For example TOTS vertongen would make a good CDM but he'd be at 5chem, does it reduce the stats? is it noticeable? what would his chemistry be if i bring him on from the bench

6.25 if you bring him on as sub. On Futhead/Futbin/Futwiz you can see how their stats are affected by adjusting their chemistry on their page

Jimbeam3678 · 23 May 2017 at 12:43

Assuming the player is half decent I don't believe all this 6.25 chem for a sub stuff. Players playing off 7 chem always play fine for me, not sure what other peoples thoughts are.

JustBen · 23 May 2017 at 12:45

does changing the position in game change chem? So having say mane at 10 chem at RW and moving him to a ST once the game has started will he stay at 10?

If he doesn't, you certainly can't tell in game.

GazD · 23 May 2017 at 12:46

Yea he will be on 10 if he starts on 10. That's why people Start with 4321 or other LW/RW-LF/RF formations and switch in game

rickjames · 23 May 2017 at 13:12

Only way I try shooting nowadays is either low driven or finesse if it's outside the box and I've a small ounce of room.

Anyone on XB1 fancy a game tonight?

Jony27 · 23 May 2017 at 14:00

Got myself that siggy after losing the first match from not paying too much attention (just out of an exam

) 2nd try I had 3 rage quits and kante scoring every match

Will make a good sub for 89 thiago once he tires out near the end.

I can play a couple of friendlies tonight if anyone's up for it.

yeah I find top level attacking is all about decision making, I actually say to myself I'm 'one good decision away' from getting a goal, it's just about keeping the ball, getting in the right position and making the pass for that 100% goal in the final third. It's dull and you score some minging cut backs across goal where your striker should realistically get nowhere near it but it's such an effective way of scoring this year.

edit: Sig should be a decent CM with his height and passing, will probably chuck Shadow on him tonight and see how he gets on. He looks a very decent card considering how easy he is to get (in the grand scheme of things).

Andybtsn · 23 May 2017 at 14:09

I want the Sig just have no coins to buy some rare golds, lol.

JustBen · 23 May 2017 at 14:27

quite like the look of this: www.futbin.com/17/squad/4085290 Dendonker should get a TOTS whenever the TOTS for belgium league comes out. Mertens should come down in price when the calcio tots comes out. Would sub POTM2Son on for Bats
