       Hmmm ... will need to see what TWS responds re: those WRs. We've
       just used that team we move around.
       Basically it ends with Gomez at STR (M/M), Hernanes/Hulk at CAMs
       (both H/M), Dani at RM (H/L) and Robinho at LM (M/L). Duda who
       is the LM  actually plays CM but his M/H WRs now become very
       useful there - even though he gets forward a lot :D.
       Defensively ... Eliseu/Miranda/Luiz - you know those. Ramires @
       RB is just ... crazy good. H/H means he's all over the place and
       just never stops running.

       will also try 451, guess we are talking about the first version,
       451 (1)... best part is, lately i am playing with 433(4) so it
       can easily shift to 451...

       I played a bit with 451 early on in FUT14 and really didn't like
       it compared with how it was last year. This team played a lot
       lot better than what I had before.
       From a logical sense you need a CM with M/H, L/H or even L/M,
       but for some reason it doesn't work that way. The CM just pops
       up all over the place, on the wing, even ahead of the striker!
       When I used it before I had Lucas Leiva there and with his
       terrible shooting missed a shed load of chances with him. Clasie
       is a M/H but has decent all round stats so can put the ball away
       if required, assist and help defensively. They just don't stop
       wandering though, so as I say a decent all rounder with
       defensive weighted work rate should work best. Someone like De
       Rossi.
       My team's work rates were:
       H/L
       M/L - M/M
       M/M - M/H - M/M
       H/M - M/M - M/M - H/M
       Up front, Pato is a lethal finisher on this game, way
       overpowered, and was always in the box or making dangerous runs,
       plus 4* skills and weakfoot. Ronaldinho is so so good on the
       ball and the quickness of his 5* skills, all his skill moves
       really, meant he was always able to make space and score or
       assist. Seedorf is also very good on the ball, feels less agile,
       but has lethal shots and also able to assist. The wingers come
       from deep and often get overlapped by the attacking fullbacks.
       This also created many attacking options and short passes to cut
       through defences. Add to that the joker in the pack, the
       unpredictable CM and it seems very easy to make chances.
       I think I just got lucky by putting these players together
       though.
       The main drawback of the tactic is that you get countered often.
       If they're a predictable player, often going for lobs or
       crosses, that doesn't make it too hard, but it's a struggle to
       defend against someone good at dribbling and or not predictable.
       With the wrong team or against certain players it will be hard
       to avoid conceding at least 2 or 3 goals.
       Still one of the most, if not THE most, fun teams I've used. As
       I say though that may be down to the pretty unique CAM's in the
       team.

       My next team and will also try it in the new featured tourney:
  HTML http://www.futwiz.com/images/shared-squads/pitch-1004963.jpg
       Interesting to see how Bruno Cesar does at CF, and my first use
       of usual bad guys Cech, David Luis and Ramires. Want a repeat of
       Ramires scoring the best goal I've every scored on FUT13, but
       not getting dc'ed before the end of the match and losing the
       replay!
       Also first tries of Fabregas and Puyol. Can you tell I've made
       250k in the past few days starting to sell up for TOTS?!
       Most interesting will be SIF Thiago Neves, who has excellent
       stats, but I suspect will be a huge let down ala SIF McCormack.

       Managed to get in 2 games with the new team now that the
       featured tourney is won for the week. Two easy wins. SIF Thiago
       Neves I'm not sure about yet but did drill in a powerful shot to
       open the scoring in the first game. Bruno Cesar has excelled as
       a false 9, with 3 goals in the two matches, the same amount of
       goals he had scored in 57 games before I bought him. Mossoro and
       Fabregas have also scored.
       The main problem with this team is the lack of height. Only
       David Luiz, 6'2 and Thiago Neves, 6'0, are over 6 foot from the
       outfield players and the defence is very small. Major worry is
       that I'll get massacred by a player like Benteke, Traore or
       Mandzucik. If this becomes a problem the plan is to get Pique
       for Puyol, and get a bit more height by changing the Fabio,
       David Luiz, Ramires part of the team to something else.

       Played 3 games last night, 2 BS seasons games with players being
       frozen to the spot, randomly moving forwards by themselves or
       and not responding to anything. Usual rubbish.
       Just played the semi final with my 433(5) SIF Thiago Neves team.
       Whilst searching it kept matching me with U Mad FC. Backed out
       twice, but it matched us again so against my better judgement
       played him. It was as expected, an identikit twat. BPL 41212,
       usual defence, Eto'o, Walcott ect. I went ahead early through
       David Luiz. Not a corner, but a goal from open play when he
       suddenly decided that as we don't have a striker, it was his
       duty to perform the role!
       Then the twat got a complete mess of a goal with Eto'o. The ball
       randomly pinging around my box and straight to Eto'o as if by
       magic. Cue the shushing all up the pitch, then a full 40 second
       pause, followed by a bit more shushing, another full pause and 3
       replays.
       Another goal for Eto'o followed, with the same "celebration",
       but only one pause that he had left.
       Just before halftime I made it 2-2 when Ramires fed SIF Neves,
       who cut inside his defender, shifted it onto his left foot and
       almost broke the net. The second half was all me and all he
       could muster were a few hit and hope lobs that were easily
       defended. The winner came on 67 minutes. Ramires played in a
       ball to Bruno Cesar who smashed it into the bottom corner from
       20 yards out. Took the opportunity to pause during my ear cup
       celebration to get a drink, and watch all 3 replays.
       Controlled the rest of the game and made sure my final 2 pauses
       didn't go to waste in injury time! Also had a good look at all
       the post match celebrations and replay of the goals.
       "U Mad dickhead?????????" Got no reply!

       had the joy, just by reading it  ;D , good job tws...
       tried puyol in a team, actually used montoya, puyol, cesc, benat
       - puyol was the standout CB, it was a hybrid, played puyol with
       boateng 83, agger, verthongen and bartra, he was the leader in
       the defence.

       The main problem with the team is that there is no height apart
       from David Luiz. Have got away with it so far, and Puyol tackles
       like an animal! No one gets past him. (yet).

       fairness makes sense)
