Aiden McGeady is 5 star skill, think Danny is too. Id rip your midfield and defence apart tho with my UT attack.
Eto'o is a beast! Klose one of my favs, I really want to get the InForm Klose but he will be pricey & doesnt fit in my team.

Everyone's rated 80+ (except Traore who's only really there as he's Eto'o RL strike partner), and my first choice CM's are Toulalan and Martinez, both 83's.

The point being you would have the same problems everyone else has.

I'm saving up for a real marquee CB though, in the Kompany/Thiago Silva mould.

Everyone's rated 80+ (except Traore who's only really there as he's Eto'o RL strike partner), and my first choice CM's are Toulalan and Martinez, both 83's.
Dzsudzsak is rated 82 out of 100, put into perspective Messi is 93 and John Akinde is 57.

Well..........Blacklisted!!!

12pm on Monday morning

Technically its Monday Afternoon.

My big names so far are Pepe, Pedro, Sanchez, Huntelaar, Higuain.
Also have Pastore, M'Vila, Montolivo, Martinez, Damiao, Rodriguez, Muniain, Sagna and a few others.

All this time we thought you were Nick Fury, turns out you're me

The vote was 6 for Regionalised Groups, 2 for Regionalised KO and 7 for Open Tournament, but then GSC and Zinedine posted they've changed their mind, which makes it 8 for Regionalised Groups, 1 for Regionalised KO and 6 for Open Tournament.

So the majority vote is Regionalised Groups!

6 weeks of Cup action might be too long though, so one more question. Winners of each group to semi finals, or top two of each to quarter finals?

Good point. 12pm Monday lunchtime

Hero, how much you spent on packs to get those??
I havent spent a penny on packs yet. Think I may have too.
My UT is,
Courtois/Friedel
Juanfran/Bosingwa -- Miranda/Smalling -- Moreno/Figueroa -- Filipe Luis/Santon
Mario Suarez/Javi Garcia----Medal/Arteta
Jeffren/Tiago---------------------Muniain/Jonothan Viera
Adrian--Soldado/Vela

My PL defence only plays when Javi Garcia & Arteta play as that links the Chemistry up from Prem League to La Liga attack.
To make my hybrid team better I need a better PL defence and I need the likes of Benzema, Ozil etc from La Liga. Also Carzola is a must buy for me at some point & im going to get Granero as a stand by, both PL & Spanish which links the Chemistry up to the AM's (as long as their spanish.

Eventually I want to make a Serie A team too.

I've decided on FUT to just make sure the chemistry is high by having everyone play the same formation and in the right position, with a little help for those tournaments that require really high chemistry by having DM, AM, RM, LM and both ST's all in the Russian Premier League.

Lass Diarra, Dzsudzsak, McGeady, Danny, Eto'o and Traore all in Russia, only thing preventing me doing a whole Russian League team is that Bruno Alves is the 2nd best CB in the Russian League

That's cheating, it should be the original result which was open tournament knockout style.

That's like me voting for Jay Z as the best rapper in the world and when I see the result that he hasn't won I change vote for my second favourite rapper who is close to winning but needs the extra votes. (Jay Z is not my favourite rapper)

Viva, it's only cheating in your eyes because it's the outcome you didn't want. How convenient

Viva, you listen to that Kinfe Party mix yet?

Plus they changed their minds before the result was looking decided.

Whether on a poll or not, the majority wanted regional groups that much is certain isn't it?

Regionalised Groups
40% 40%
[ 6 ]

Regionalised Knockout Brackets
13% 13%
[ 2 ]

Open Knockout
47% 47%
[ 7 ]

Well I think it's cheating and people shouldn't be allowed to change their minds on a poll because they didn't vote on what they actually felt but tactical voting.

Yeah I did Zidane, it was one massive 50 something minute track preety good. I like it, more songs from Knife Party or albums please.

Agreed Viva. GSC and ZZZ bowed to peer pressure like the impressionable young ladies they are.

Viva, have it out with GSC and ZZZ then. But Regionalised Groups won.

So someone isn't allowed to change their mind? Seems a bit strict for an online game.

For what is worth, I initially went for Open knockout's too, but after thinking about it more, I also preferred the regional groups.

Ok I'll drop it, so I guess I'm allowed to change my votes after voting when I see a score that don't suit me so I can change it to benefit someone else in another league and vice versa?

If you are being totally fair then, you and Azzy both voted when you are one team. So we have to take 1 from the open draw anyway.

And it means we still have two managers who haven't voted as well.

If Azzy and Viva get a vote each, i'll hire some backroom staff and get them to vote as well

Well if Viva is so concerned about fairness, then everyone should have two votes.

Viva has a valid point.
I changed mine tactically. I saw Regionalised Knockout Brackets wasnt doing to well but Regionalised Groups was looking better. As I want to play the teams in my region (to beat them Like A BOSS) I canged my vote, it was 100% tactical.

Viva, ill let you know when I find more mixes etc. I know of a good Zinc mix if you want to download that.

Afro you know since I've been playing these games with you I have always wanted fairness not to beenfit myself ever but to benefit the group as a whole. If Azzy did vote then take one of our vote away because like I said it's about fairness not so it suits me. I wouldn't have a problem if it was region based style as long as it was done in the right way.

It's going to be one of those days where everything is taken issue with. I might make my self scarce today.

You know that is different than getting opinion on a cup format.

As it's you, i'll compromise. When it gets to the QF's, it'll be an open draw (except for the team you played in your group). Semi finals and final open draw too.

This is deciding a cup format. It's such a trivial thing and I see no harm in people being able to change their minds on it.

To make an issue of it. I really don't understand that.

I got:

Speroni
Doyley-Fontaine-Mills/St Ledger-Friend
Stanislas/Rare Dicko-O/Hara/Holden-Rare Majewski-Noone/Bellamy
Austin-Rare Baldock

Zidane yes please if you can.

Sorry Afro, we'll go with region based group

Thank you Marky

Who wants to know who they are playing in week 1.....?

My ultimate team at the moment.

Lets see the Fixtures then Jafro so I can start talking trash to my opponant

BigFellasAfro wrote:Who wants to know who they are playing in week 1.....?

Certainly not me.

My ultimate team at the moment.

Lloris
Sagna---Koscielny---Kompany---Vermaelen
Fellaini--Vertonghen
Hazard----Mata----Silva
Torres

Viva, thought you didnt play FIFA UT?
& if you do now how did you get that team so quick?

Nice team Viva. That AM 3 would be frightening

League A - Week 1
AHAAAAAAAAAA Alan Partridge FC v Bunga Bunga FC
Bradistan Glue Sniffers v Under Brescia FC
Bratwurst Mannschaft v VFL Fassbender
Deportizo Chorizo v Total Juan Carrs FC

League B - Week 1
Spanish Bank FC v No Respek FC Pass The Dutchie
????????????? v Deportivo My Sharona
FC Sumpf v FC Murder On Zidane's Floor
Atalanta Falcons v Sour Krauts United

I've found that playing 4 at the back makes you easily targeted through the middle when playing online. (Although for some reason I stuck to 4 at the back when Nando was schooling me at Fifa last night...)

So in FUT I always play 3-5-2/3-4-1-2. (The only difference between the two formations on the game is whether the 1 is a CAM or a CF)

Half those team names have changed Afro

I've deducted i'm playing Moleicester City.

I didn't till yesterday and did a big boy cheat and got these players. I haven't played with them online yet.

I knew you'd crack my code.

Which team names have changed?

The only up-to-date list is when you enter each league's sub-section! But Sumpf has changed, and Nando's has a name, not sure who else though.

See what happens when you mention Bull Marky

Every team is very beatable Bull. Get your tactics right and you can easily win

No worries, simple Find and Replaces in Word

BigFellasAfro wrote:Nice team Viva. That AM 3 would be frightening

Yes and I've customised the three AMs to move around swapping positions with each other, I know they don't offer a lot of protection or tracking back but they are so quick at putting the opposition players under pressure in their own half we win it back and can attack quickly.

I didn't till yesterday and did a big boy cheat and got these players. I haven't played with them online yet.

No Viva. you cant have that FIFA UT in one day. Whats your real team?

Marky was right, I don't have those players. I don't have an Ultimate Team. I can't manage No Respek FC (Pass The Dutchie) and Ultimate Team and if I had to pick one it would have to be No Respek FC all day.

Viva, you made that team up, yet STILL put Vermaelen at LB, Koscielny in at all, Fellaini as a DM and Vertonghen as a DM?

Just treated myself to a Gold Chrome Xbox controller case, basically pimping my controller
