Re: FIFA 13 Thread

Ended up selling Downing and getting Lars Bender. I also nearly sold Enrique (Stoke came in with a bid £4m over his value) and buying Clyne, but Enrique failed to agree terms with them.

Also, that FIFA realism. :bow:

City buy Pepe and he immediately injures Gaston Ramirez in his first PL match.

Current team:

Reina
Johnson - Skrtel - Agger - Enrique
Sahin/Allen - Bender/Lucas
Gerrard/Shelvey/Henderson
G. Ramirez - Suarez - Assaidi

Bench (outside of those that rotate regularly):
Doni
Coates
Kelly
Borini
Sterling
2 CM/CDMs

Henderson actually started the season in the first XI after finding some brilliant form in preseason... scored 2 goals and got an assist in my first two PL matches. Then picked up a thigh strain. :facepalm:

They still need to sort out the in-game schedules though. It's a bit ridiculous to face 8 games in the first 3 weeks of the season or thereabouts.

by white_star Sun Oct 07, 2012 4:57 am

I'm playing Liverpool too. Assiadi is a beast with Suarez on the wings!! Both have combined 36 goals in December !!

Did you catch the song at the beginning "you will never walk alone" ?

Started with Fulham just now going to build a team round Berba +Ruiz for a season or 2.

Just signed La Masia all on loan with options to buy : Cuenca, Montoya, Roberto & Fontas Laughing

Also signed the god of the Championship Lee Chong Yong.

Those messages are common after H2H games. Laughing

You just have that effect on people, it seems.

Its gonna take me time to get use to this Fifa. Should be a pro by the end of the second week.

by CBarca Mon Oct 08, 2012 1:24 am

Playing XBox Live FIFA for this first time since...FIFA 09 I think, I forgot that everybody disconnects after going down a couple goals.

It's a shame, really.

by Abramovich Mon Oct 08, 2012 4:32 pm

Up to 4th spot with Fulham after 6 games, legendary isn't as lame as last fifa game I feel. I've managed to beat Man Utd and draw with City but my only loss so far in the league has come against Wigan scratch

.

Berba is top scorer (obviously)

Team at the minute is 4-2-3-1

Schwarzer

Montoya Hangeland Fontas Riise

Diarra Sergi Roberto

Lee Chung Ruiz Cuenca

Berbagod

Pure tiki taka system, got my 2 ball playing center backs (I've improved Fontas up to 76 so far). Montoya and Riise my full backs who always push up and join the attack.

Diarra sits & holds with the simple pass, whilst Roberto does a similar role but gets slightly more involved further up the pitch.

Lee & Cuenca are really good at dribbling and beating their man and then launching a cross or what not into the box, Cuenca also seems to have an eye for goal, its a shame Lee hasn't scored yet Sad

.

Ruiz is a technical wizard, but slow as hell same with Berba both are pretty similar styles. Only problem with them is that they are super duper slow and lazy, sometimes neither of them are in the box which annoys me.

I've got all my Masia kids on an option to buy so hopefully I can keep them end of season, Petric and Hugo Rod ain't really firing so much so if Berba gets injured am screwed

Buy El Shaarawy?

Or Gaston Ramirez in the second season.

by Abramovich Mon Oct 08, 2012 4:44 pm

I was thinking of El Shaarawy I need a young top striker and I also want Der Stegen or Courtois next season cos Mark is retiring ;(.

by Onyx Mon Oct 08, 2012 4:46 pm

ter Stegen gets a bit higher than Courtois.

They'll be expensive though?

by Abramovich Mon Oct 08, 2012 4:49 pm

I reckon I'll make the 4th CL spot, well I hope so anyways. Hopefully my boys will loan me Courtois with an option to buy, as I'll be blowing a chunk of my cash on my Masia boys.

by Abramovich Mon Oct 08, 2012 4:49 pm

BTW how do you do 2v2 seasons online?

by Onyx Mon Oct 08, 2012 5:28 pm

I don't think you can do 2v2 with someone from your friends list. It's 2 people from the same console only.

Division 3 in h2h :bow:

by FalcaoPunch Mon Oct 08, 2012 6:31 pm

Get Luis Muriel

by Onyx Mon Oct 08, 2012 6:46 pm

So many Real Madrid users on H2H:

Sit back - lob through ball to Ronaldo or some sort of 1-2 between Benzema and Ronaldo.

Do that in div 4 or higher division and you'll be in for a surprise

Those guys i'm facing is ridiculously good and got multiple tactics to counter you Mad

I'm actually really liking how players can get boo'd at stadiums now. Just played City and Nasri really got it, but Clichy didn't get a reaction... nice feature.

What is a bit unrealistic, though, is that I'm not playing every game for Arsenal despite their being three strikers with higher ratings than me and me being on the loan list. Makes me wonder if, at the start of the game when you're only rated 66, if you can play for a top club if you just ignore the loan offers.
