You know those I HATE playing with on FIFA? The idiots that score ONE goal and try to pass the ball around till the game is over or till you're tired of chasing the ball around in their half. *bleep*ing inbreds!

Go ultra attacking and get your high pressure tactics out and they'll lose the ball, since players press higher when you're losing.

Hmmm.....I've never even adjusted those strategies since I've been playing FIFA.

Press the right arrow button to get to ultra attacking, left to go down to more defensive.

Ha! Thanks! I'll try it.

Just finished up the summer transfer window after being put back 6 months.

New side:

J. Smith (77)

Schwaab (75) - Bruma (73) - Benedetti (72) - Boilesen (70)

Fernando (73)*

Sciacca (71) - McEachran (74)

AOC (72) - de Jong (80) - Wickham (72)*

Squad GK:
Schmeichel (79)
A. Smith (44)

Squad Defenders:
Bamba -CB (74)
Fernández - CB (70)
Halfar -CB (56)**
Iván Rubio - RB (64)
Taft - LB (56)
Steinhöfer - RB (41)**

Squad Midfielders:
Trybull - CDM (66)*
Wellens - CM (68)
Powel - CM (60)**
D. Ferreira - LM (62)
C. Buxton - RM (55)**

Squad Attackers:
Schlupp - ST (65)
N'Guessan - LW (66)
Chiricó - LW (64)

*On loan
**From my Academy

Unfortunately I have a very thin squad, which means I'm struggling with the Europa league and every thing else. I managed to sell Ciaran Clark for 20m which I then used to get Benedetti and Bruma. Schmeichel is pissing me off so I plan to sell him in January if I can find a replacement. Will probably also try to sell N'Guessan in January and loan El Shaarawy or someone similar until the end of the season.

For some reason I tend to use the winger(whichever one at whatever time) closer to the bottom of my screen. Dunno why Razz

But yes, the rate at which people use RM these days is just appalling. Its a lot more than Barca too these days.

it would have been ok if i had defenders with more acceleration that Juan &Heinze but with speed that they have controlling Cr7 is really challenging , unless i use protta or simplicio there then the chemistry goes wrong

by Blue Barrett Mon Jul 02, 2012 2:26 am

^I use my cursor on the "help defender" and let the CPU mark players like CR7.

by fatman123 Mon Jul 02, 2012 7:43 am

you've done really well their red, how many seasons have you played?

ill post the same sort of thing for my WBA team later

by RedOranje Mon Jul 02, 2012 8:33 am

I'm part way into my third season. Really struggling at the moment due to a congested schedule (I played Villarreal, Everton, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, Newcastle, and Lokomotiv Moscow all in 2 weeks) and a very thin squad.

Fifa is rigged imo. I offered 25m for him in my first season. He accepted... Stupid Mourinho :coffee:

by fatman123 Mon Jul 02, 2012 12:29 pm

midway thorugh my 4th season with WBA

Starting XI

Fahrmann
Opare-Dawson-Faria-Bertrand
Singh-Busquets-Medel
Mata
Ben Khalifa-Long

Subs from: Daniels (GK), Juan Maresca, Mattock, Gale, Mantom, Ozdoev, Viola, Morrison, Driver, Leandro Lima, Djite, Maicon, John

I try to concentrate on youth and try to maintain a healthy medium between age and rating, this is how the squad looks atm

Player (Rating/Age)

Starting XI
Fahrmann (81/26)
Opare (77/24)
Dawson** (75/24)
Faria* (73/18)
Bertrand (74/25)
Singh (79/23)
Busquets (84/26)
Medel (82/27)
Mata (85/26)
Ben Khalifa (78/22)
Long (78/27)

Squad GK
Daniels (60/21)

Squad Defenders
Juan Maresca* (59/19)
Mattock (69/24)
Gale** (56/21)

Squad Midfielders
Mantom** (58/22)
Ozdoev (78/21)
Viola (75/25)
Morrison (75/28)
Driver (76/26)
Leandro Lima (74/28)

Squad Strikers/Wingers
Djite* (58/18)
Maicon (76/24)
John (75/22)

*Scouted Players
**Youth players at the club when I started manager mode

I know I havent got much depth in defense but I've embraced the Barca theology and i often use Busquets and Ozdoev-who are both DMs-as CBs

I do have around 8 more players in the squad but these are the ones who will get 5+ games thoughout the season

Currently I'm first in the league by a point (which im not expecting to last) and currently after 3 games im on 5 points in my CL group which leaves me in 2nd place behind Real Madrid (7 points) and ahead of Basel (4 points) and PSV (0 points), although i got knocked out in the 3rd round of the Carling Cup

Try getting Dragovic/Kalas. Smile

Dont waste him there, when i had him i used him as a LW or as a striker if i wanted to play two up top and he was a GOAT, at fullback hes just wasted potential, not to mention his overall goes up really quickly

by Onyx Mon Jul 02, 2012 12:40 pm

Just done the latest Euro challenge. Coming back from 2-0 vs Spain and winning. Scored in the last minute with Motta to make it 3-2. Smile

is that Tomas Kalas?
is he any good in FIFA?

by Onyx Mon Jul 02, 2012 12:42 pm

Yeh. He gets to 85. All round quality CB.

I just played a Wigan side that had Lescott, Kakuta, Frey and Bojan in the team. How in the world?

Yeh sometimes lower clubs get takeovers and they start getting big players.

by Kick Tue Jul 03, 2012 1:32 pm

Accidently saved over my Bradford city game so I started one with Derby county.

Just finished my first season in which I gained promotion and won the FA cup.
Beat Chelsea for FA cup on penatlies after I beat Liverpool to get to the final on penalties. I also knocked Man City out on Penatlies too, Turns out I am good at them, also Frank Fielding is a GOAT penalty keeper, won me all three matches with his saves.

Current squad heading into community shield in second season:

Fielding (72)
Brayford (73) Caulker (75) Shackell (75,c) Aurtenetxe (75)
Romulo (75)
Mutch (76*) J. Ward (73)
Salvio (78)
Aboubakar (74) Nelson Oliveira (77)

*on loan till the end of the season with an option to buy of 15m.

Playing 4-3-1-2. I shall keep you posted as the season goes on.

by Onyx Tue Jul 03, 2012 1:41 pm

15m for Mutch with Derby? hmm

I guess it's one of those loans where the other club won't loan however you tell them a price and they will?

by Kick Tue Jul 03, 2012 1:45 pm

It's more like one of those situations where I want him but can't afford him so I loan with the option to buy, should I make the money I will buy him, if I don't then it doesn't matter so much.

by Kick Tue Jul 03, 2012 1:55 pm

Just beat Arsenal 4-2 on penalties to win the community shield. Both ramsey and Gervinho tried to chip me and it went over :facepalm:
