I want the Qatari Stars League on FIFA.

-----------------Butland------------------
Spector---Mariappa---Caldwell---Murphy
-Redmond--Mutch---Gomis/King--Usami

Try to rotate reasonably too, got Stanislas as cover for Redmond and Sordell for the strikers who is really good.

Promoted some youth to the first team, my best youngster is 18-year-old striker Jordan Saunders, scored one and assisted one on his Prem debut, rated 62. Really short for a striker, good dribbler and finisher though.

Another gem is still in my youth team, 15-year-old CB Harry Tunnicliffe who's rated between 68 and 72 . Potential is 84-90 as well. The thing I love most about him is that he's quite fast (72 sprint speed) and seems to have decent ball-playing skills too. Some of his defensive stats are insane, marking is 79 and standing tackle is 79-91. I might promote him as soon as he turns 16.

I never get that good a player in my academy. Then again, I'm rarely at a team where I bring them through.

Players In:
Sebastian Bassong: 6m- loan move made permanent. 
Vicente Guaita: Free Agent
Gokhan Inler: £10m from Bayern Munich
Jeffrey Gouweleeuw from Heerenveen: £11m

Lars Bender from Bayer Leverkusen: £13m
Nicolas Burdisso from Sevilla: £2m

Players Out:
Salvatore Aronica: retired
Emmanuel Adebayor: loan return to Man City
Morgan De Sanctis to Lecce: £2.3m

Napoli 1-0 Pescara Coppa Nazionale 2nd Round (Cavani)
Napoli 4-1 AC Milan Supercoppa (Lavezzi, De Jong 2, Insigne)
Real Madrid 2-1 Napoli UEFA Super Cup Final (Hamsik)


Couldn't turn down 14m for Lass, double what I payed Madrid for him last season.

Regular team looks a bit like this:

What's Butland's overall? He's Bristolian.

That's some pretty good stats. I've never invested into the youth teams, I probably will now seeing those results.

You can, creation centre and then buy the option to use them in CM. I've done that and have done a CM with Shakthar.

Butland is 70 now I think, only started using him last season as my first choice.

Jordi, you'll probably get the Saudi League for FIFA 13, kinda similar .

Damn, thought he'd improve faster than that.

Just noticed Trezeguet is on this.

Butland's potential is 85.

Butland.

Started a CM with Crawley. Finished 3rd behind Shrewsbury and Bradford and 8 points ahead of 4th place. Tyrone Barnett was the leagues top scorer with 22 goals.

do you push circle (shoot) or square (lob) to clear a header?

Usually (Xbox) I press X I think, which is cross/long ball/slide tackle.

Fuck it, here's my Dortmund team. Summer 2k13.

Spoiler:

£55m for Hummels, fuark.

You'd probably get similar for Gotze too.

I started a CM with Crawley a while back, managed to win the league first season with 111 points. Won the play-offs the second season and just missed out on them again in the Championship. Got offered the Blackburn job and took it. I did want the Charlton job, they got taken over when they were in the Championship bot got relegated the same season.



Subs: Robinson (78), Dunk (76), Akpan (71), Wellington Silva (75), Juninho (79), Vukcevic (75), Bennett (74)

I had a lot of re-building to do, on a tiny budget. They had a hell of a lot of players they didn't need so ended up with around £25m to spend once selling everyone. The defence was pretty decent as it was so signed a back-up CB and LB.

Midfield again was good, signed Wanyama for £6m. McClean replaced Pedersen who I got £6m for. Ajdarevic is brilliant, he's a CM but his long shots are immense, 90 shot power, brilliant for shot free-kicks. Juninho was so cheap for his overall, £4m for LA Galaxy. Ryan is young keeper 22, I signed him to eventually replace Robinson. He was £2m and only want £950 per week.

Wellington Silva is fantastic, great to bring on when you've run the other teams defence ragged. 95 sprint speed, 96 acc and 5* skill moves.

I'm expected to get them into the Europa League, which is achievable.

EDIT: Coming up against Manchester United, they are playing Carrick and Fletcher at CB. Fryers is the starting LB for them now. Van der Vaart is starting as a striker with Rooney behind him.

Got £65 million. From Barcelona again

Fucking hell.

I payed Dortmund £60m for him in my Madrid one to replace Ozil.

He's pretty shit if you ask me, on the game that is.

I'm pretty bored of Dortmund now so I've been focussing on my Real Sociedad one, my god I have a shit squad. No-one can finish and I'm 14th.

I just sim the games in that CM.

Moved to City on it, starting XI looks a little like this:


The likes of Richards, Sagna, Lucio, Sakho, De Jong, Barry, Milner, Johnson, Van Persie, Adebayor, Dzeko are on the bench/in the reserves.

Was it already like that? Jesus.

Malaga seem to sign a shite load of players too.

Seriously though I need to make some decent signings for Real Sociedad, it's not even funny how shit they are. Benat was a great signing though.

I signed Ogbonna, Sakho, Moutinho, Pjanic, Van Persie.

Bayern and Chelsea were bidding massive money for Nasri, but Sao Paolo wanted £75m for Lucas, so I kept him.

Should get Carroll.

I was going to, srs.

He wanted to leave Liverpool so I put a bid in, but I signed a player so couldn't afford him. And Liverpool didn't want to sell.

He's rated 87.

Man City, Malaga, PSG and Anzhi all sign loads of players in the same positions. On my current CM Man City have sold Kompany, Richards, Toure (both), Aguero, Tevez, Silva and Nasri.

Newcastle have been taken over, wanted the job as they already had a solid team but didn't get offered it. One more season at Blackburn should do it.

I don't even.

Won the online Euro 2012 with Denmark, using the basic lineup and formation except change real life injured Sørensen with the higher skilled Lindegaard.

W W D W W W, the Draw was against Spain 1-1.

The final was against England, after first half it was 3-0 Bendtner and 2x Eriksen. I had 35% possession and 3 shots on goal. 2nd half i score right away with Eriksen and then on a well done run by Agger makes it 5-0. Eventually possession stats turn a little as he loses hope completely with the 5th goal, i end up at 42% possession with same amount of shots but 5 more on target than his 3.

Met Poland in the Semi's which was fun and a much tighter match, he was a better player but Bendtner doesn't care, he scores when he wants. Also includes a very odd 6-5 match against Croatia in the Quarters 4 goals by Eriksen and Modric respectively.

Got the Newcastle job, there team was half decent. Sold 33 year old Ribery to Man United for 25m. After selling dead wood I had around 150m my team now:




Subs: Forster* (80), Lee Chung-Yong* (81), Tiote* (83), Fazio( (81), Carroll* (81), Formica* (78)

* Was already there.

Casmeiro is on loan, didn't have the funds to get him properly so will sign him next season. Cisse is injured for 5 months so have Carroll starting but I'm about to sign Guidetti. Casmeiro signed before I sold Ribery.

Left City. Finished 2 points off Chelsea in the league, last 16 exit in the CL to Madrid, FA Cup winners. Moved to Arsenal. Deadline day just done, team looks a little like this:


I signed Szczesny, Rafael, De Vrij, Vagner Love, Nigel De Jong and Hugo Mallo.

Somehow, last season, they only qualfied for the Europa League. Probably because outside a good starting XI, the rest of the squad is pretty poor. Bar a 81 rated LB, Ramsey and Gervinho.

What do you guys do at goal kicks online? They always seem to end up headed back to the opposition through on goal every time I take them.

Same for me, I usually try getting it to a winger or wide midfielder, makes it harder for them to head it back in.
