FIFA 13 - Page 158 - Video Games - Video Game Systems Forum

Hi,

Thanks for your reply!

I guess I can understand people not wanting to name specific players.. makes sense!

Have been looking back through the thread, think I have picked up a few decent tips.

So annoyed with myself, I got the ultimate edition and the 24 gold packs or something.. any players or consumables I didnt need there and then I just 'quick sell' for pennys!! Dread to think how many coins I missed out on!

As for my strengths... not sure to be honest! My win/loss ratio is about 55/45 in my favour (including a massive downswing since winning Div1!)

Would be good to play some people on here... on Xbox if anyone fancies a game.. would be good to get an outside opinion on the strengths/weaknesses I have.. may be able to offer my 2cents for anyones elses team!

BackSackNcrack

Thanks

You should almost never quick sell. If you put up any card for auction at 150 w/ a buy it now at 200 it will get sold, maybe not the first time, but eventually someone will buy it.

Not sure when I will have time, but add me and next time we are both on we can play. My xbox live name is: oldandfeeble. Is "BackSackNcrack" your xbox name?

Just built this 433: http://www.futhead.com/fifa/squads/6.../#squad-player and my first game I disconnect (my 2nd or 3rd ever) and next game get beat 4-2 by someone w/ a stud la liga squad. All 4 of the guys goals were from corners or crosses that were finished by falcao and he was well marked by a CB every time. It seemed like he only had 1 or 2 other chances (including crosses or corners) besides his 4 goals.

Any upgrades you would do to the team. Saving up for alves for pereira now. I think I have maybe 50k in coins and players that I need to sell and I need to make a second team first.

The 433 is what I started FUT with and I always liked it and the only reason I got rid of it was because I was bored w/ it. If I don't use a 433 I'd probably go with either the 4312 or 352 as they fit me better than the other 2 formations I've tried, the 4231 & 41212.

The more I think about it the more convinced I become that the 433 is the best formation for my playing style.

I just think its aids, the forwards are 3 miles away from the defence and the midfield are caught in no-mans-land neither attacking nor defending(obv way less defending)

kroos hasn't done one thing to impress me so far playing RCM. like he has 99 long shots and 5 star weak foot but he's so slow you can't even get a shot off with him.

i really like it so far(small sample)

the wide-forwards are wide but constantly try to make runs in behind giving a lot of options in attack(an outlet when they are wide and a trough-ball possibility when they make their runs)

4321 the WFs are way too central and completely isolated from play

The midfield is so cut off from everything, the game ends up stretched and passing options just arent there, when you get countered on its 2 defenders vs whoever.

IF Beñat is disgusting.

Pretty good defensively, good workrates for a CM as well.
I think only one corner so far has missed my player's head in 6 games.
His longshot.. Scary good. he can't really make opportunities for himself too well, but when he gets into that position, its game over.

Never misses a pass either. Fast and accurate, through balls are always on the money.

Pretty cheap too.

martinez is really good and cheap in the middle since hes tall and a monster on the defense. hes my fav cheap cm in bundesliga, altough gündogan is probably better than him and also better than kroos, kroos is just too slow and small.

also instead of lewandowski you should play normal reus uptop hes a beast!

343 is very fun if you have a sick LM LW combo. I used Neymar and IF Lucas.

Ive played a handful of games on my nephews 3421, its a ton of fun.

Hes got Lavezzi and Neymar on left, with Lucas CM. very attacking and very fun. I have no idea how it would fare over 50 games in Div 1 though.
