Ogbonna, Nastasic, Hummels, Acerbi, Howedes and Benatia for CB?

[The Franchise]

Ogbonna not good enough on the ball, Benatia is too slow, Nastasic too slow and not good enough on the ball , Acerbi likewise, Hummels just seems like cheating and would bore me to hell.....was considering Howedes.

Was more intrested in Koscielny as a shorter term option, Alderweireld and a couple others I forgot.

Alberweireld is on the slow side, but I can accept it if his passing and so on is as good as it is.

If your going to have a weakness, it better not be technically.

[RealGunner]

Koscielny has brilliant Intercepting skills and heading. But he is physically weak so it's up to you

You can just buy Moussa Sissoko and play him as CB like i did

[Onyx]

In terms of good on the ball and quick, there's Dede and Boateng.

65+ dribbling = good on the ball?

[Highburied]

Yeah I fall in overall rating because it doesnt please me if x player is better than y player even if x has lower overrall ratings.

But I'll give it a try.

[fatman123]

got this game on the weekend and started be a pro seasons with Sydney FC (no Del Piero ) and at my default rating i was the second highest rated in the side so i got stright into the XI and ive already played two friendlies for Australia. So far ive got three goaols and 5 assists in 7 games from CM

[The Franchise]

Koscielny has brilliant Intercepting skills and heading. But he is physically weak so it's up to you

Yeah, I noticed..but its only a short term thing at his age so I think as a rotational centerback it might be alright.

But yeah dont tempt me with the midfield midfield thing man, I already had thoughts like this........Waynama................lol

I was considering Joel Matip too actually. He a defender in the game, but made his name in RL in midfield.

[The Franchise]

In terms of good on the ball and quick, there's Dede and Boateng.

65+ dribbling = good on the ball?

Yeah, I bought Dede in 12. Could always do that again. Or Boateng.

Those two are on the list im considering. I was also thinking slow ass Badstuber because he isnt quite as slow as RL in the game.

[Abramovich]

Full backs with potential high ratings anyone?

Luke Shaw gets to 84 + I believe

I have made too many flop signings in previous FIFA's based on overall ratings, I fall for it every single year. I am intent on not doing that this year.

Probably why im struggling so hard to find a suitable centerback.

David Luiz or Kaboul you know you wanna

[The Franchise]

Luiz really does fit and is relatively cheap...but it feels dirty lol

Kaboul maybe, I havent actually looked at his stats. I do like Caulker too..but Barca sign an Englishmen....how rare...feels wrong too.

[RedOranje]

Do you need a good one immediately or a long term one?

If you're looking for a longer term player then I'd suggest Martin Kelly (marked as RB but very good at CB) or de Vrij.

[BarcaKizz]

Roberto started with me. In first season I loaned him to Malaga where he played 30ish games. I also loaned Muniesa, Fontas and Jonathan. Not all of them got time but they grew like crazy on loan. All +4 and really high boosting of key attributes.

I'm keeping him this year and don't intend to play him loads but he should grow anyway I hope. Otherwise there's always January loan. Anyway, I like having 2 mids on the bench and Cesc can play false 9. Last year I had lots of injuries in the middle, so I think I can get him 10-15 games. I'm pretty good with rotating.

I had to play the final month with Australian Matt Ryan (19 yrs, 68 rating) in goals lol. UCL final etc.

Roberto will be my Xavi replacement as he declines.

[Onyx]

Liverpool team, second season September. Got the England job in terms of NT.

---------------Reina
Johnson---Skrtel---Agger---Enrique
-----------Sahin---Vidal
-Shaqiri--------Isco------Neymar
--------------Benzema

Bench: Jones, Kelly, Lucas, Allen, Lallana, Assaidi and Adrian.

Reserves: Gonalons, Borini, Tosic, Carragher, Doni, Robinson, Flanagan, Morgan, Coady, Wisdom, Wilson, Suso, Gulacsi, Yesil, Pacheco, Ngoo, Shelvey, Coates, Sterling and Henderson.

Used the financial takeover thing and bought Neymar, Vidal and Shaqiri. Wanted to buy Pogba, but Juventus wouldn't accept. Tried Henderson/Gonalons/Tosic and cash. I think I even tried Adrian.

In terms of Adrian, I wanted to sell him during the Summer, but didn't get any offers after I listed him. Got an offer prior to listing him, but it was around what I bought him for, so I rejected.

Not sure if I should keep Adrian or not. He's 82 overall and too good for the bench.

If I do sell him, I'm not sure who to buy as a replacement. I'll most likely be using another financial takeover next Summer, so I think I'll have to sell/trade Adrian in January. Is it possible to use a takeover in January?

[Blue Barrett]

My pro on loan at Walsall: 21 goals & 9 assists in 26 apps so far and putting Walsall top of League 1 Not bad for a presumed scrub Future GOAT No.9

[BarcaKizz]

Omfg I am bad at defending... So frustrating...

In my first 5 games of the season I have conceded 12... Luckily I've scored 17 lol, but its very frustrating...

Just played out a Euro Supercup 5-5 with Marseille...

[fatman123]

Started a manager mode with WBA, in my first transfer window i sold Odenwingie and Gera for a combined 7.5mil (6mil and 1.5mil) and then bought Siem De Jong (10.5mil), Aurtenetxe (4.3mil) and the ULTIMATE steal, Lucas Piazon (1mil)

[The Franchise]

Do you need a good one immediately or a long term one?

If you're looking for a longer term player then I'd suggest Martin Kelly (marked as RB but very good at CB) or de Vrij.

Long term, but not an absolute project because I already have Bartra who is young.

I am taking a look at De Vrij, I liked him in 12 too.

[The Franchise]

Roberto isnt even in my game, I dont know what the hell is up with that.

Dos Santos demanded to leave, I had to sell him in Jan. Went to Newcastle for 11m.

[McLewis]

Generally not even worried about my CBs right now though I probably should. Won a scudetto and coppa italia with Castan (81 with +1 potential) & Marquinhos (72 with +2 potential). Castan is actually pretty beast.

Burdisso has declined rapidly (70 with -2) and is now demanding I sell him, which I will duly oblige. I'm thinking of picking up either Felipe Santana or Coates to rotate with Marquinhos alongside Castan.

Dodo (70) has become my choice LB as (Balza 78, -2) began to decline as well. Not quite ready to make changes on that flank yet though.

lrn2manageFIFA

[Abramovich]

Says the guy who takes off a striker on a hattrick?

[Swanhends]

That was a fundamentally sound managerial decision

[RedOranje]

Why are you saying you had to sacrifice a player that's generally played in a CAM/SS position for an out and out striker? Sure both can play at the same time.
