       Gold Cup number 20:
  HTML http://www.futhead.com/16/squads/11152138/
       Two new nationalities, Belarus and Honduras completed, and two
       new cubs also crossed off, Montreal Impact and FC Dallas.
       I've never liked the 41212 formation on Fifa. Never got on with
       it. Started slowly with this team but soon started to enjoy
       them. Never thought I'd say that about this formation!
       The attack was great. Drogba got goal all over the place. Really
       like him (and his scorpion kick abilities!). Higuain I didn't
       get the best out of. Can finish though! Think I'd do better with
       him as a sole striker, in 4231 or maybe with a good CF behind
       him. Also had IF Piatti behind them at CAM. He is a very good
       and i guess massively overlooked player. 4* skills and weak
       foot, good at passing, can finish and good dribbling.
       The two wide players were ok, nothing more. Both quick but much
       better wingers to use.
       At CDM, I had Enzo Perez making a second winning team
       appearance. He is great. Can do everything very well. All round
       god on this game.
       The defence was a bit of a worry when I made the team. I had two
       silvers. Figueroa at LB, who was good, apart from the occasional
       shocking first touch. However at CB I had Egor Filipenko of
       Belarus who got a big upgrade over the winter. He's big, which
       is not the norm for BBVA centre backs. I cannot state adequately
       how good this guy was. I'd say he is one of the best defenders
       I've used, which is strange considering he's 73 rated. He won so
       many tackles, was great in the air, and is probably benefiting
       somehow from EA's random maxing out of certain stats on
       upgrades. Recommended.
       Florenzi is a very good attacking full back.
       The weak link was IF Kameni in goal. Lets in so many stupid
       goals, especially long shots. Just looks so small in the goal.
       His saving grace is that he is capable of making miraculous
       saves, but not really worth the bother.

       Gold Cup 21 with this team last night:
  HTML http://www.futhead.com/16/squads/11392558/
       Peru and Trinidad & Tobago done off the nations list, Bologna,
       Palermo, Braga and League 2 (Barnet and Bristol Rovers) done and
       and dusted for clubs.
       Took a while to do it with this team. There were just too many
       dodgy players I think. None were worse than IF Sorrentino in
       goal. This guy lets in so many weak shots and shots that should
       be easily saveable. Do not buy him!
       Tom Parkes and Chris Lines were obviously not the best, although
       IF Gavin Hoyte played much better than I expected and was
       decent.
       Bonucci is a solid CB as ever, Zuniga was dangerous down the
       left in attack from full back. Sturaro is a decent all round CM.
       Would have been good one to use at the start when coins are
       tight.
       TIF Slimani scored a load of goals and is excellent as a target
       man. Carrillo I have used a lot now and is a huge danger on the
       right. His 5* skills flow incredibly easily he can easily beat a
       degender and he can finish. On the left, Rafa was ok. Nothing
       special and not a great finisher.
       IF Adrien Silva pulled the strings at CM and is a good
       playmaker. Has big stamina issues though.

       Ea making things more difficult again. Now Bristol City and
       Colorado Rapids have gold players as well!

       Damn ... simply adding to that challenge.
       If you had to estimate, how much % do you think you're on, for
       clubs & countries?

       I've done 81 out of 148 countries, and 136 out of 275 clubs with
       gold players I think! That's just a quick count up from the 1st
       page and might be slightly off.
       There are leagues that don't have gold players such as League 2
       that I have completed, but have they aren't included in that
       club total. Also a few clubs I've used that don't have gold
       players such as Mordovia Saransk and Waasl-Beveren that I've had
       to use for chemistry or because they have a different
       nationality, in Beveren's case, Luxembourg.
       I'm not a long way from winning the number of cups I won in the
       whole of 15 already, so hopefully more progress to be made yet.
       As long as I don't go 17 finals in a row without winning one
       like last year!

       Impressive mate! Certainly is a creative challenge this one and
       hope you get more wins & can complete it as much as possible.

       Gold Cup 23 won with this:
  HTML http://www.futhead.com/16/squads/12323311/
       Mozambique and Norway ticked off the nations list, Wolfsburg,
       Hertha Berlin and Atalanta done from the clubs.
       SIF Max Kruse was very enjoyable to use and was an excellent
       false 9. Also enjoyed IF Diamanti, and Skjelbred did
       surprisingly well at LCM. My untradable Thiago Silva also was
       excellent in defence. Mexer next to him was a good NR and Costil
       in goal performed extremely well in goal, and is a good cheap
       French option.

       Gold Cup winners 24:
  HTML http://www.futhead.com/16/squads/12650623/
       Some dodgy players, but a team I had fun with.
       IF Bonatini and Gerso were pretty poor at striker and left
       winger. Bonatini isn't the best finisher and Gerso just didn't
       do much at all. At RW, Jesus Corona was good. A 5* weak foot was
       very handy and he was very good on the ball.
       The midfield was solid. Roberto Firmino excelled as the more
       attacking of the three and was the top scorer in the team. Got
       into excellent positions and able to finish them. Hector Herrera
       was a nice surprise. Didn't expect much but got goals and
       assists regularly. Emre Can was a decent CDM, but knackered by
       90 minutes.
       The defence was ok. Alberto Moreno is a big danger going forward
       and is like having a winger at LB. The RB was Paul Aguillar who
       I got as an untradable on the very first day of 16. Perfectly
       fine at RB and helped cover for the very slow but usable Rafael
       Marquez. Despite his 34 pace, don't recall him being done for
       pace apart from once, which isn't bad in 30 odd games. Martin
       Skrtel was rock solid, but the defence was massively helped by
       the man behind them. IF Alfredo Talavera is a very good keeper.
       One of the best I've used. Not something I expected to be saying
       before I used him.
       The best thing about this team was that although IF Bonatini
       didn't really perform, he got double figure goals and assists,
       as did Corona, Herrera and Firmino. Goals came from all over in
       this team.
       Guinea-Bissau and Slovakia crossed off the nations list,
       Estoril, Liverpool, Atlas, America and Toluca off the clubs
       list.

       Gold Cup number 25 won with this:
  HTML http://www.futhead.com/16/squads/12878068/
       Guam and Ecuador completed in the nations list, Espanyol on the
       clubs list.
       Think 433(2) is proving to be my favourite formation again this
       year. Also have success with 4321 and 4312 but those are narrow
       and not as enjoyable to play with. Often just become clustered
       messes.
       This team was nice. IF Caicedo I've used a few times now in
       featured tournaments without actually winning them. Has a good
       left foot and is so so strong. The wingers were decent. Tello is
       very good and Montanes is good with the ball but maybe lacks the
       finishing.
       Iniesta is Iniesta. Great player. Gerrard is also a favourite of
       mine and is allround very good. De Jong did a good job at CDM.
       Ashley Cole still plays very well dispute his massively reduced
       stats nowadays. Bellerin is rapid at RB, but lacks something.
       Whatever that something is, being FUT, his pace gets him by. Van
       Dijk is a decent CB. He tackles with force. His standing tackles
       seem to smash the ball off opponents like I've rarely seen from
       other CB's. His TOTS would be good to use I think, and was the
       plan to put him in this team, but no need now.
       IF Fraser Forster is very good in goal. His size definitely
       helps. And AJ DeLaGarza. LOL! shouldn't have worked but was
       never seriously tested. If I'd played anyone with a Manzukic and
       the knowledge of how to use him, it could have got messy, buy
       people trying to run straight through mostly didn't test him.
