But I'm not sure I'd still be worrying about it though.

Afro, whats worrying is there is a manager in this game who thinks that so ultimately that person has poor knowledge.
Its one thing not knowing all Fans up & coming talented players he signed or not knowing Bony but to say a formation doesnt work anymore is an extreme lack of football knowledge.

I'm not revealing who it was, but I do not think this person has a lack of football knowledge. Far from it. I think it a strange conclusion, but I would be inclined to say it was a rare occurence for this manager and would say it is an exception rather than a rule for him.

[quote="GSC"]I made a FUT with Carroll and Cisse up front with Yaya at CAM[/quote]
You know what, Carroll isnt bad. Beast in the air. I was hoping for an IF the other week but no luck.
Try InFrom Kenwyne Jones, amazing header!!

Marky If it was you im voting you down next week just a heads up

I can't afford IFs

Until Bale sells at least

Only thing I would criticise Brescia for is their lack of a holding midfielder,

I was thinking the same and hence I brought in Masch.

Marchisio and Motta are similar types of players for me who like to drive forward, I'd like to see a deep-lying playmaker alongside one or both of them.

Well if someone didn't keep injuring Pirlo, it wouldn't be a problem I have tried to deal with this by the signing of Ledesma

After saying Rio cant defend yet hes in the PFA TOTS id say from this weeks voting thats 2/3 consistent special comments lolol I wouldnt say its an exception, I would actually call the person a dumb*** & thats being modest. Those two comments have to be up the top for the stupidest thing ever said in this & past leagues.

come on matt ritchie TOTS

I can't afford IFs

Market crash mate, sell quaick as his prices is dropping fast due to his soon to come TOTS card.
Chiellini IF was around 400k, you can now find just under 200k. He wont make TOTS season though so Ive bought 2 as his price will rise again, same with Balotelli's IF card, 500k now under 200k. I have 1 as he wont get TOTS so he will rise in price again.

Zidane going HAM

Sorry Cherries, he didnt make it.
Patrick Madden did however.

show me ur evdience

he was L1 player of the year he shud have a blue card Kumquat from ea shud shoot themselves

There you go Cherries

Gold Most Consistent But Never IF TOTS - Final Team Up

Silver/Bronze Most Consistent But Never IF TOTS - Final team

Tom Ince though, BOOOOM

ACESS DENIED CAN U CIOPY N PASTE PLEASE, WHU DINT RITCHIE AV AN tots HE THE BEST PLAYER IN DA Frak LEAGUE BUNCH OF Kumquat

Disagree with Varane not coping with Benteke, apart from that I'd agree with it

He did struggle with both Reus and Lewandowski last night at times. Sergio Ramos was immense and I remember a few times him bailing Varane out.

How Dortmund didn't score is still a mystery to me.

I like Varane but he's not infallible.

Diego Lopez made an immense save

Reus and Lewan are both a good level above Bentekkers

I need a new right back, thoughts on the following:

Glen Johnson
Christophe allet
Gregory VDW

Rios not the force he once was but Varane isn't the finished product yet imo

Varane is a top defender, but you can tell he is still young and learning his trade at times.

Who was that Diego Lopez save from? I was watching on my phone and it was a bit grainy just at that point. Looked like it was probably Gundogan, but I'm not sure.

I think Gundogan

Make an offer for Pis if you want

EDIT: Theres are the most consistent but never to have an IF.
So cherries you man may make the normal TOTS if they do one for lower leagues. They usually do La Liga, BPL, Northern Europe & Southern Europe.
All for EA to make money from people buying packs.

however this may be the underated TOTS so hope more broze/silver to come

Read my edit comments on the post cherries

yay cmon ritchie, daniels and francis

Why have a bronze team anyway

Why have a bronze team anyway

Online Tournys i suppose.
I was tempted to make one but then the price of the best players are high, like 20k & stuff so I though forget it as I can get Mata for that price haha.
I may make a Silver team to play offline with as ive been playing a lot off the offline Div 1, need to win 9 games out of 10 & you get coins + free gold pack. So far I have 4 gold packs, want to get as many as possible then open them all when TOTS is out in the hope of pulling a TOTS card. Probs wont happen but its free so worth a try.

Bleacher Report Best side of next world cup:

------------------------ Neuer -----------------------
Lahm ------- Silva ------- Kompany ------- Alba
--------------------- Busquets ---------------------
-------------- Xavi ----------- Iniesta -------------
Messi ------------------------------------ Ronaldo
------------------- Falcao --------------------------

Thoughts? I'm thinking Xavi, Alba and Kompany are debatable

Rest of squad:
Casillas/Buffon/Vertonghan/Ramos/Chiellini/Pirlo/Yaya/Oscar/Ozil/Neymar/Cavani/RVP

Of that Oscar is definitely debateable

I agree, but atm Bentekkers' rating is probably higher than it would be normally because of his form.

Glen Johnson - is much better than he is given credit for, but will probably have poor ratings because he is Glen Johnson.

Christophe Jallet - good solid and reliable. Going to defend well all the time and has improved going forward. He has been pushed into midfield again at times recently, so that could be good (versatile) or bad (not playing RB could affect RB ratings)

van der Wiel - overrated in these games and cannot defend to save his life.

That is obviously based on pure ability and not just recent form

----------------- Neuer ------------------
Lahm ---- Dante - Silva ---- Alaba
------- Shwein ---- Gundongan ------
Ronaldo ------ Iniesta -------- Mata

Iniesta out
Gotze in

for me. recent form Gotze has been amazballs

Also needs more Bony

Gotze is a good shout, Iniesta hasn't been that great recently

Silva I'm not sure on either, have there been better CBs recently?

Silva has been in great form for PSG.

I want to question Alaba's inclusion as I am still not buying his hype, but I am struggling to pick out a LB who has stood out in any of the leagues this season.

Alaba was chosen as he's probably been the best lb this season (at least recently)

Cole has looked dodgy
Baines is solid but not amazing
Alba struggles when teams attack barce
Monreal hasn't looked as good since going to Arsenal
Evra is Evra
Kolarov is a midfielder

I am struggling to pick out a LB who has stood out in any of the leagues this season.

Baines had stood out. No offense but that says a lot for the quality of LB's across Europe.

Also, Bony can fill in there if required.

I'm struggling to think of 10 good left backs at the moment

Maybe just play Chielini there?

The team should be;

Chiellini has only been showing his old form when he moved back to CB. When he plays LB, it set's him back.

Criscito has been back on form this season, whilst Ansaldi has been good as well, but both go under the radar because they are in Russia.

Balzaretti has probably been the best in Serie A this year (arguably along with Nagatomo) and Filipe has been the best LB in La Liga for 3 seasons now.

Ultimately though Lahm is the best RB and LB around

I think I have not one, but two of the best LB's this season in my squad.

Nagatomo and Fuchs.

Nagatomo and Fuchs.

Especially if it was being based on silly little goaty beards

Could Lahm be considered LB with Piscz at right back?

Piscz's form hasn't been that outstanding either though. He was better last year and in the Euros.

If it was my vote, I'd go Lahm RB and Filipe LB

This little ditty is doing the rounds today.

"I left Dortmund for the chance of winning the Champions League" - Shinji Kagawa.

Lahm old news now, not effective, old news. Id go Glen Johnson!

The best full back in the world is Joey O'Brien. Just as it is every year.

Jordi Alba is a Dos Cervezas player

Its amazing what rubbish bitter Arsenal fans will start on twitter in the hope people believe it, in most cases simpletons do believe it

Next thing you know Bull will sell Eriksen.
