FIFA 12: Sponsored by Mellin's lost £50..

[Danny]

That Mascherano is going to be mental.

Arshaving being good again

Second IF Evans too, shame hes still only up to 79, even with a second one.

[Laurent Robert]

Evans hasn't had one this year.

[Danny]

I could have sworn he got one the week he scored against Wolves

Guess not

On an unrelated note, I bought TIF Nene last night and he is incredible. His stats are surely some of the best on the game.

That Moses looks pretty good, other than that there's nothing for me

[Mahow]

That Evans IF will go for barely anything as he's surely a shoe-in for a Most Improved TOTS.

[Laurent Robert]

Aye, pretty lame TOTW, really. There's been quite a few good ones lately*, so can't really moan.

*not that I've used any of the fuckers, but they look good.

[M H C]

Will probably give Arshavin a shot. I imagine the good silvers will be bordering on unaffordable, Vaz Te particularly.

[dancemag]

Made a team of prem informs

http://futhead.com/12/squad/489428

Sigurosson = Finesse Shot & Long shot taker.

[Mahow]

Pogrebnyak looks pretty shit. He's not really good at anything (based on card stats).

[7om]

For the first time in probably 10 years, I lost my rag over a game, last night.

The guy I came up against on UT had one of those super teams. It was something like...

Casillas, IF Alves, Pique, Motta, IF Marcelo, Iniesta, Fabregas, Xavi, Messi, Rooney, Aguero

He brought Ronaldo off the bench. I was leading one-nil (IF Zigic) against the little cunt aswell before he proceeded to rape me 7-1. Just for good measure, he sent me abusive messages after the game, so I replied telling him to "go and do your homework".

[SvN]

My Prem IF team, although pretty shortlived, wasn't too bad really. Sessegnon was surprisingly good, and SIF Ramires was an absolute beast.

[SvN]

There's nothing more classless than sending gloating messages after winning. Bad losers are bad enough, but bad winners are just cringeworthy.

[Danny]

Valencia bought for 76, sold for 87.

Will do nicely.

[John]

That Bas Dost will be good. 94 shooting.

IF Tevez will be in my side within a fortnight. He needs to be, the standard one is amazing.

[Waffelz]

Made a team with Eto'o and Kerzhakov. Brilliant so far.

[Laurent Robert]

Disc has been repaired, will be putting it to the test in a hour. Exciting shit, my friends.

[Waffelz]

Brilliant \o/

[dancemag]

I purposely went for lesser used/cheaper IFs, trying odemwingie up to as well. Tell you what though, NIF Bendtner is actually amazing.

Tempted to go for Zlatan as he looks immense.

I've got team with a few Serie B players in it. Bianchi and Rivas are players you should get. Rivas is Argentine and might not fit into your team but he is quality.

Foggia, Pasquato and Ogbonna are all good aswell.

[Bulfin]

I missed that RD post. I can only speak for Bronzes/Ogbonna but Russotto is class. He's a CF and has 4* skills. The bronze wingers are quite good too but the silver ones are probably better.

[Laurent Robert]

Oh how I've missed playing against a 5 at the back, ultra defensive bastard.

Had a couple of really fun games prior to that, to be fair and I felt like the unintentional break had worked wonders, but after that piece of shit match, it's all come flooding back.

[Laurent Robert]

Opened a pack to celebrate the disc fixing.

Got Robert Green. 15k

Can't find Russotto. Do you mean Rosina?

EDIT: nevermind. Realised he's a bronze.

I bought Verratti as well. Mainly because he's shit hot on FM

[Mahow]

Might buy these 2 teams:

http://www.futhead.com/12/squad/515686

Senegalese Bronze/Silver team, bit gay that the only keeper they have is a bronze and the only decent right back is a bronze but Diouf and Babacar look like a beastly partnership.

http://www.futhead.com/12/squad/516021

The pace is just

Can see why LR spends so much time building squads, it's infuriating but so much fun.

[Laurent Robert]

It's got to the point where building squads has become my daily sudoku puzzle. Just set some annoying parameters and fiddle away.

Why does EVERYONE I play go ultra defensive

Russotto is class. Giacomelli, Mustacchio and Capuano are good for my bronze side aswell.

I'm getting the point where I enjoy making the teams more than playing. I've built a great French/Ligue 1 gold team, but I've had so many frustrating games and failed to score in 3 of the last 4 games, even with SIF Menez, SIF Ben Arfa, UP Benzema and TIF Nene. It's crazy, albeit the game I did score in I got 11 goals.

The SIF Dempsey Hybrid team seems to work better for some reason.

[Laurent Robert]

I'm already sacking it off for a film.

It seems that one in five games is actually enjoyable, open stuff, the rest are just turgid encounters against defensive guff, which is just a chore to play against. Win, lose, or draw, it's just dull as fuck.

[Mahow]

http://www.ea.com/soccer/fifa-ultima...#gCG3htCibdm99

Just played my first online match with these chaps and I recorded my biggest online win on a FIFA game \0/. Hammered the guy I was playing 8-2 and it should have been so much more. Was like men against boys.

[rich12]

Thought of a potential hybrid to make it bit more fun - http://www.futhead.com/12/squad/516911.

Check out the team ratings too.

[Mahow]

I just love Angbwa's picture, always makes me smile

Another game and a 5-0 win. Feels like cheating going up against other bronze sides.

[Danny]

looks exactly like that

[Mahow]

I spoke too soon, far, far too soon

Just came across someone with a pacey American side who was actually a good player. Banner, Nyarko, Fucito and Oduro just tore me to absolute shreds.

[TTGB]

So something yesterday that I haven't seen before. Was playing an online game and when I got to the opposition screen instead of the date that team was created it said FUT founder, he must have been from EA. He was a brilliant defender but pace abused and played 1-2s all game. Lost 2-1

FUT Founder is just if you've been playing it from one of the first incarnations or something. Nothing more.

[TTGB]

Ah right

[Mahow]

Aye, teams that were created during the first year it came out which was 09 I think.

I'm a founder too.

[Gooneroo]

I only had the game since last year and I'm a FUT founder.

[Boom-Boom]

How do head to head seasons work? I've only just started playing them and am in division 10. Is it one team up every season, how many games do you have to win roughly?

Will be nice to see how far I can get.

[Andy]

If you're any good you'll fly up the leagues really quickly.

I've barely played h2h and I'm I'm league two.

[Raoul Duke]

Anyone want to buy a 3-4-1-2 Gareth Bale or Yaya Toure? (Xbox). Can't shift them for shit

[Laurent Robert]

Now the disc has been resurrected, I'm finally making the effort to sell all of the crap in my club. Currently up to 300k, reckon I'll get close to 400k, which is pretty much twice as much as I thought I had sitting around.

Doing it a league at a time somehow seems less painful than just going through every single player in order of rating.

[Raoul Duke]

Got any decent Serie A/generally good players Samad?

[Laurent Robert]

Probably nothing much useful now, as I started off selling from the highest rated players, so pretty much anyone really good has already been sold (I'm down to 82 as the highest rating).

Although I have just noticed that I have an AC Milan Taiwo in there, if you fancy that.



If you want non rares though, I've got fucking millions.

[Mahow]

It really is shit selling mountains of crap in your club. I remember when I had about 300 players in mine which needed to be sold, was torture and I'd probably still have them if it wasn't for the web app.

[Laurent Robert]

I'm almost glad that it wasn't happy hour when I did my pack opening. I had over 800 players from the standard packs, fuck knows where I'd be at if I was opening player packs.

No idea what I'm going to do with the coins, but SIF Ben Arfa will be involved.

[Mahow]

Wait until TOTS and get someone amazing?

[Bamster]

How do you lot get so many coins? I hardly ever have over 10k, and I need a few to get Tevez that I really want yet Sama sells some shit from his squad and gets 300k.

I've even considered buy some coins from ebay but im worried its a scam.

[Laurent Robert]

I'll probably end up spunking all the coins during TOTS, aye. Need something to keep me going until then, though.

UP Suarez looks pretty damn good, the goofy cunt.

[Weaver]

The offline Stoke season is going good, now.

Huth demanded a transfer, he went and I've replaced him with Craig Cathcart. I've also swapped to 4-3-3. Begovic; Simpson, Warnock, Woodgate, Cathcart; Davis, Guthrie, Whitehead; Pennant, Etherington; Crouch.

Won some and lost some, rather than drawing them all, and now I'm 16th with 14 games to go.
