Playing against ManCity with my Leicester side (winning 1-0 at halftime) and I think I actually have the better attack of the two teams.

Leno
Schwaab - Bruma - Benedetti - Boilesen
Fernando
Thiago - McEachran
AOC - de Jong - Piazon

vs

Tchuimeni-Nimely - Santa Cruz
KPBoateng ----------------- Hamsik
Cabaye - Wilshere
Bridge - Hummels - Kompany - Richards
Hart

Fulltime 2-0 Very Happy

Cabaye had a bit of a 'mare, I think he missed more passes than he completed.

Leno had 8 saves though, and de Jong continues to be brilliant with a rating of 8.8 (1 goal, 1 assist).

City's subs: Milner for KPB, A Johnson for Santa Cruz, and Chantler for Bridge rofl

FIFA

I reckon you've already had the Sneidjer to City transfer. Wilshere to City happens in EVERY career mode I've ever seen Laughing

by RedOranje Mon Jul 30, 2012 10:20 pm

They seem to have a couple of different pre-sets. In my earlier game (Liverpool save) Wilshere did not go to City but Sneijder did (I eventually bought Wilshere Twisted Evil

). In this one, Sneijder is still with Inter, but Adebayor moves every window.

I just put out a weakened team against Blackburn to prepare for a cup tie... completely forgot they got taken over by some rich owner last season and bought half the league. I may be in for a hiding here...

by RedOranje Mon Jul 30, 2012 11:00 pm

5-4 to Blackburn

Robinson
Sagna - Samba - Shawcross - Planus
Grella
Pederson ----- Larsson
Sigurdsson
Carroll - Berbatov

And their subs were Lukaku, Delap, and Tiote.

If ever there was a team built around set pieces...

wtf that backline

in my lyon save PSG have bought hamsik and david silva Mad

by The Sanchez Tue Jul 31, 2012 5:15 am

Simply unstoppable...
I didn't spend my 20 or so millions in my first side as I didn't need... though I feel this season I think a new keeper is needed as Frediel is getting too old... Maybe Oier or Mino though they are very low ranked...

That was Blackburn's line-up, not mine.

Won the Euro League and the scudetto with Lamela as my top scorer and Darlington Nagbe as my top assist man.

Sold Bojan for 24m and brought in Keisuke Honda and Seb Giovinco for combined 88m. Squad's basically complete now and ready to win the Champion's Cup.

by Onyx Tue Jul 31, 2012 3:33 pm

88m for Giovinco and Honda. Shocked

by RedOranje Tue Jul 31, 2012 5:58 pm

I don't think my entire Leicester squad costs 88m, and that's with Thiago and Luuk de Jong in it...

by McLewis Tue Jul 31, 2012 7:41 pm

Yeah, I never have much luck lowballing clubs on this game so I usually have to offer at least 10m more than the asking price. It was 29m for Honda and 39m for Giovinco.

Wanted Kevin Strootman, who PSV rated at 40m, but then they upped their price to 60 so that that scared me off.

by Onyx Tue Jul 31, 2012 7:54 pm

60m for Strootman? I guess you must be 4th/5th season?

by McLewis Tue Jul 31, 2012 8:13 pm

3rd season actually. His overall is 85 so it makes a bit of sense.

by vivabarca38 Tue Jul 31, 2012 8:25 pm

I dont really like Career mode.If I want something like that I just play FM.

by RedOranje Tue Jul 31, 2012 10:18 pm

The young players sky rocket to their maximum potential for when on AI clubs. You have to get them early if they're playing consistently or their price jumps like it did with Strootman. Generally, if the play isn't transfer listed the clubs will try to price you out of a deal. So look for players that are listed for transfer or loan (and put in a buy-out price).

by The Sanchez Tue Jul 31, 2012 10:48 pm

Played Madrid in Cl semifinal. A back line of Chellini, T. Silva, Marcelo and Ramos with Alonso, Modric and Ozil and Neymar, Ronaldo and Benezma. Tell me now, how our Madrid not bankrupt? Shocked

by the xcx Wed Aug 01, 2012 11:04 pm

How come the AI wins over 90% of aerial duels in fifa? da *bleep* is this? Oh and AI scripting is disgraceful, this is basicly a copy of Pes 2008 rofl.

by The Sanchez Thu Aug 02, 2012 12:50 pm

Satrted career mode again and Ive decided to play with Barca. They don't particularly have great money debt though the football is everything...

by Soul Sat Aug 04, 2012 12:33 pm

What skill moves do you guys use often?

I usually jockey with the L2 R2 combo (on Alternative), simple ball rolls, and short stepovers

What do you find most effective? Any tips?

by Juveman17 Sat Aug 04, 2012 3:08 pm

Started a career mode in Serie B with my hometown club of Reggina. I bought Michael Owen (lol), Grosso, and Leali so far. I am in the semifinals of the Coppa Italia after beating Roma, Parma, and Napoli.

After I acheive promotion I am probably gonna buy Iaqunita because he is cheap and has a good overall for my team.

by Onyx Sat Aug 04, 2012 3:50 pm

I don't really use skill moves. I occasionally bash the left analog stick though and some random skill happens.

I use fake shot often, if that's counted as a skill move.

by Kick Sat Aug 04, 2012 4:03 pm

Fake shot is awesome, it's my main skill. I also use lots of tricks when running one on one, they don't always come off as I can never remember which trick is which. I don't use hard tricks though.

With 5 star skills the fake shot is all you need :bow:

by McLewis Sat Aug 04, 2012 5:02 pm

McGeady turn is my favorite skill to use. Also fond of chopping left and right.
