Played 4 games with the new team so far, 2 losses followed by 2
wins. TOTS McCormack I don't know what to make of. Didn't get on
with the SIF, and this one can't finish easy chances but scores
difficult chances and screamers!
The main highlight has been IF Jordan Rhodes. A fantastic
finisher and very good target man. He just made mincemeat out of
a BPL defence. Had my LB, Masilela sent off at 0-0 for
apparently fouling a clean through Sturridge, even though he
clearly got the ball. It was soon 5-1 and won with 8 shots
compared to the other guys 18 and 16 on goal.
Already have changed the defence. Smalling is absolutely awful
(who says FUT is not realistic) so in has come Vidic. Not used
him yet so will see how he goes. Could also change Rafael at RB
with anyone from the BPL, but he has been ok so far.

After 24 matches with the 41212 team I have managed to win the
Gold Cup with them. Played a guy with a mic and it was really
funny beating him. Had 7 shots on goal in the first 10 minutes
before Vidic shot home. He was going mental! Completely
outplayed him all half but couldn't score until the 45th minute
when a blocked Nani shot bounced out to IF Rhodes who drilled it
home. "How the fuck can he beat Courtois. He's a silver!"
He got one back straight away when my defender refused to jump
on a corner. Mass shouting and profanities followed. At half
time he had 51% pass success. Anyway as every roulette he did
with Tello was accompanied by "Ole" and every time one of my
South African players was on the ball was backed to monkey
chants, I just kept destroying him with 5* skill moves with Nani
to get him madder and madder, and then a bunny hop and swerving
run was laid off to Tshabalala. From fully 30 yards to a backing
track of monkey noises, Tshabalala put a crazy dipping shot that
when I hit it looked like it would go miles over in off the
underside of the bar. The silence was deafening. The celebration
involved shushing, followed by ear cupping and I just could not
resist it, an incredibly rare for me Gangnam style dance
followed by 3 replays. Think the situation allowed it!
He got another corner goal from Pepe to another mass celebration
on the mic, but no way was I going to let him come back and when
TOTS McCormack got clear the game was done. He shut up for the
final 15 minutes after that. One of my most satisfying wins.
So that's South Africa added to the list of leagues used and
41212 done. Not sure what to do next, but I did have an
SPL/Turkish league/BPL idea floating around for 41212(2). That
would take another 2 leagues off the list, but would be a very
dodgy team.

Next team is going to definitely be SPL/BPL/Galatasaray. Have
all the non SPL players, watching the silve SPL IF's of
Griffiths, Stokes and McFadden to get a good price if I'm lucky.

The next team, in 41212(2), is built and has played 2 games so
far:
HTML http://i.futwiz.com/pitch-1314676.jpg
The only difference was that I used IF Stevie May for those
games instead of IF Stokes. Have now managed to pick up a
cheaper Stokes this morning so he is in.
Played against 2 standard BPL 41212 teams, both with Eto'o and
Sturridge in attack and both with the back 4 of Clichy, Kompany,
Luiz and Walker. Stevie May against Kompany was not good! First
match I lost 2-0 and would have probably never scored if we had
played forever! Second match the guy was clueless and it was
constant spammed lob through balls. Got an early goal when IF
May set up IF McFadden who sent a left foot rocket past Cech.
That was the 13th minute and not much more happened in front of
goal at either end of the pitch.
Hopefully IF Stokes will improve the attack but the way the rest
of the team felt, I'll be lucky to win the cup with this team.
Maybe if I can 1-0 it or win penalty shoot outs all the way, but
the early signs aren't good.

Played 5 matches yesterday, 2 with the 41212(2) team, one of
which was a 12-0 win against the worst player I've ever played.
He was unlucky really that he faced me the game after I played a
Ibarbo filth team. Needed to take my anger out on somone! IF
McFadden got 5.
Also have a new 4222 team featuring Shaktar (SIF Srna,
increbidle RB), Russian League (TOTS Corluka and TOTS Durica)
and Liverpool. Plays much better than my previous 4222 team.
Really like Eduardo in attack too. Got a good 6-0 win and a
tight 2-1 in a rare good match.
Will put up the new team soon.

The new team:
HTML http://i.futwiz.com/pitch-1343646.jpg
Bought the wrong Sturridge but I doubt it really matters. SIF
Srna is one of the best fullbacks I've used. Tempted to swap out
Coutinho for SIF Sterling (the CAM one) who is less than 20k.
Would have to lose a blue CB if I do though and would probably
mean a new LB also.

I wasn't really sure what to do! He didn't have a clue and I
felt bad on him but every long shot I took with IF McFadden
seemed to fly straight in or go in off the post. Even doing
bunny hops and Berba spins with IF Stokes sent me through his
defence like they weren't there.
