Re: FIFA 16 Squads show off

Raul Garcia is actually 6 foot with 88 heading. Jumping only in
the 70s or so but still, another reason he'd be better suited to
the middle, he does win headers that come his way. The lanky
Choupo was a great goal kick recipient too. But on the right
side of midfield and at CB, yeah, not great. CBs will both be
replaced as coins come in tho, that'll tighten things up. More
fun to try and outscore the opposition anyway ;D

Good read Cuz - as always eloquent in your ways. :D
Nolito - couldn't stand the NR card, so bought the IF when we
had some coins. He is a favourite and will probably never sell
that card. Even used him last night in a 433-5 at LW - it was a
team geared around passing & he was a no-brainer there.
Back to the non-rare cards ... why the heck are they SO bland.
Even the purple cards are hideous. A simple black stripe across
the name would've been a little easier on the eye. Not sounding
elitist or pro-rare cards, but a full NR team looks terrible.

Strange one Kiwi. Anything in particular you couldn't stand
about him? He made an instant good impression on me, think he
scored the teams 1st goal and turned into my main weapon in that
game.
Would like him more if he were rare...
Same thing occurred to me tho, why make them so bland? Even if
they just kept the top corner indents of the rare cards it'd be
something. Just makes NRs look like **** players.
Mind you, that did tempt me to make a whole team of them...
...edit. Quick look on FUThead and I can confirm, I will make a
NR hybrid at some point.
It'll look crap, it'll actually be pretty good... 8) ;D

So, this was the 'passing team'

Tried hard to keep possession but one of gotcha's I find with
wanting fluid passing, is that you're trying too hard for the
perfect goal. As a result you're winning games 1-0, 2-0 ...
rarely are there 4-goal games. That being said - we did win
against an opponent with a guest last night - leading 4-0 at HT.
But, that's mostly because they were way too individualistic in
their game play. Typical stuff.
Did use a few too many squad fitness cards with these guys, so
built a team after games were played. Tried to replicate
something along those lines - but a cheaper team :D. Boarded the
Andre Andre hype train and got him cheap.

Had the CB's and the Hulk so bought the rest. Will see how this
pans out.

Oh sorry ... nothing wrong with the card - simply stating they
look horrendous.
This was the first full team I built in '16:

Really think the players are impressive in there. 5x 4* skills /
Alcacer has 85 finishing & 86 positioning / Torres (CAM) has 84
short passing / Arnold has 86 shot power & 84 long shots /
Trochowski is short but a good all-rounder / wide players cut in
on strong feet. Not the strongest backline, but they're all big
& pacey. On paper, it should do well.
But ... it looks HORRIBLE on screen! Sad.

This is the team ...

Pogba is simply a monster! We were discussing the value of
players - Aguero 440k, Robben 370k, Neymar 400k, Reus 210k ...
all these are obviously expensive, but are they value for money?
In my opinion ... no, none of these are.
With Pogba at 260k, he's not cheap. But, he's probably the most
value for money of these players. Even at CDM, which normally
means nothing these days, he gets well forward and has netted 4
in 6. But, that's a bit misleading as in 2 of those games we
moved him to the CF position - 'to see what he's like there' :D.
He's brilliant.
But Jovetic ... poor old Jovetic. 0 in 6 games. Want him to
succeed - so badly ... but he's sadly not the UT12 card that we
all loved back then. Simply can't go on like that. Need to look
at a replacement.
The other - got bullied around a little tonight. So, decided to
change it around a little - moved Isco out of the CF slot &
brought in De Bruyne. Another quality card! Wow. He has 4 goals
in the 2 games. Pretty much near perfect CF for F9. Literally
everything you want ... he's got it.
Edit ... have to add ... Pjanic. Holy freakin' moly! BB
mentioned him previously and I can see this card staying a long,
long time. Got a hat-trick in his second game - one of them an
effortless 20 yard strike - in-off the post. Impressive!

nice looking team Kiwi. Serie A gives so much this year!
@ Jovetic: I noticed that in teh demo and later on when I
drafted him. He doesn't feel right. Shame actually because he is
a favorite from me to.
How is Marchisio doing for you? Immense stats on him too

Welcome back cuz, nice to see some bronze players in the "squads
show off" for some inspiration. I don't agree with the
competitiveness of them, back in fifa14 I managed to reach
division 2 with them and currently I'm in division 6 with
marginal bronze teams, I don't know what works for me so I just
used a bunch of players this year to try out, currently build
team 16 and 17 and used your recommended players

Missed this somehow. Looks a great build that. Put one together
in theory earlier, awful to look at, lol! It's not even gold,
more a yellow ochre. Or puce.
I'm gonna build it after I've beefed up that 4321s back line
tho, just for the troll factor.
That back line is gonna be Moreno, Martinez, Matip and Piszczek.
Just need to save a bit. Interested to see how 2 H/H full backs
will work out with that narrow midfield.

I was thinking the same ... you've obviously have a game style
where you have adapted Beuk, very well too! It would be
interesting to see you take some high-rated (stats-wise) golds &
adopt that same play style, but psychologically have a 'bronze
expectation'.
