I've got Abate as well, he's great

Whenever I play Swansea I play 4-2-4, with my 4 attackers man marking their corresponding defenders, ultra-attacking to push them up the pitch and team pressing and pressure tactics. Annoys me when they always pass it round their defence, and you get a nice feeling when you tackle their defenders and score, bet the AI goes rage.

Fifa just simmed a game for me without my permission.
I drew 1-1 to Newcastle aswell which I more than likely would have won!

I have a 4* skiller keeper

9 points clear at the top of the Championship after 24 games but I know that's not safe because bloody Bolton and Wolves can each go on 10 game winning runs and screw up everything.

Doing well in my Arsenal career mode. Nearly finished the first season, 3rd in the League behind City and Chelsea by a few points with three or four games left so I could still win the league. In the FA Cup Final against Spurs, out of the rest of the competitions.

Sold Moses for £30million to Bayern

Replaced with Piazon. Moses wasn't even a starting player

Got the white Drogba. 6",6 19 year Italian striker (in my 4th season), 78 OVR, already has speedster. His heading/strength isn't even that good, he's just like a normal striker but really tall

He also has 5* skills..and 1* weak foot.

I have a similar player although he's only 6ft or so, Italian striker with speedster. I think he might be the regen of Di Natale.

Don't you get bored managing big clubs?

I prefer growing a minnow club into a successful one

I get bored managing small clubs. Can never keep one career going for more than 2 seasons, even with Arsenal.

I may start a new small club career mode out. I usually do a Chelsea one when i first get FIFA, so I know all the ins and outs, and then go for a harder one starting with a League 1/2 side. I'm thinking Aldershot. Only because on deadline day they're the first team I can see for their incomes and expenditure for that window.

I started a CM for when online is dodgy. Put Rangers and Celtic in League 2, Carlisle in SPL, moved Rochdale to L1. I'm rangers

Want to turn New Zealand into a global force after I got mugged out of Euro qualification with Ireland. Got a 5* scout from NZ so hopefully he will find me some good up and coming talent. The next world cup is ages away so I've got loads of time to find a load of players.

Still going with Oxford, now in the PL. Currently sitting top with 14 points after 6 games (got taken over by billionaires so made some great signings). Beat Liverpool 3-0 in my last game. LAL

For 2014 World Cup, Rooney gets himself injured. Now, for the '16 Euros, the idiot gets himself injured again! He's turning 31 this year, was his last chance. Still one of the best players in the squad. Now I'll have to play Welbeck instead of him

Saint you got taken over by billionaires?

How did you manage that?

There is an option in EAFC catalogue where you can buy a financial takeover for your career. You just have to scroll through until you find it, my budget went from about £6million to £60million with it.

Is this in career mode?! Where the hell is that option?!

I'm doing that for Bournemouth!

You should be able to press square or the whatever the equivalent is on Xbox to access the catalogue. There you will find a load of things you can buy, you should see something called financial takeover somewhere.

That's really really cool I had no idea you could do that. What else can you do?

Scout a player for free, get an instant international job offer, edit player option within career, rematch option during matches. Might be other things I've missed.

My thread was better. This isn't even live (HINT HINT ADMINS )

Won't be using that cheaty website to find players with potential this year. Want to find some gems of my own

Nice thread Kent

You can just use the scouting networks and get even better youth for cheaper
