Pretend Watford.

I can't believe I went out of the cup to Villarreal on away goals. That's probably the most exciting FIFA has ever been offline for me. Usually it's a bit of an anti-climax but that was so thrilling, went down to the final chance of the game. Gutted Postiga couldn't score that header.

My Swansea team now is actually very good, probably the best in the league. Beaten everyone comfortably now, this will probably be my last season with them. Might take another offer from a club at the end of the season to give myself a new challenge.

Will start a brand new CM after I do that. Milan looks tempting as does Villarreal.

I still maintain that old players overall decreases too quickly. Also, they retire too early. I can't sign Gallas FFS.

I agree, Kent.

Yeah Kent. They get so bad so quick. That's why I'm interested in Nesta, half of the season's gone and he's not decreased at all and still isn't retiring. But most of the players going for free or very cheap were 'retiring this season' like Assuncao and Gilberto, although they are very old.

Villarreal could be good. I've not done a promotion one this year. I like starting near the bottom of the league with RZ.

Swansea players say Laudrup is always class in training. If he was on FIFA he'd be about 4 overall by the time he hit the age he is now.

David Villa was a 66 overall on my game by the age of 34. How does shooting and passing deteriorate that quickly?

Think about Scholes retiring last season. According to FIFA he'd probably be dreadful, yet in real life he came back and is still good enough.

I agree SKA. I could probably accept it if it was just the physical stats that went down very quickly, but the way skill stats rocket down is ridiculous. Movilla's ball control has gone down by about 8 or something this season. Really? Just because he's old?

Exactly. Physical stats deteriorating is natural and slight deterioration of skill I could accept but to go from whatever finishing Villa had (probably in the 80's) to low 60's in a few years is ridiculous.

What makes it worse is that he was on the transfer list for £10m. £10m for a 66 overall!

There's weird glitches on players up for sale. I saw a Napoli GK who was 66 overall and 36 years old, and he was down as a 'future first team player'

They've got some good ideas but they're implemented badly this year I think. Combined with the ridiculous amount of glitches I really don't know what they spent their time doing.

Kent maybe he'll be in the first team in his testimonial

Spent their time implementing unwanted new leagues and not-asked for changes to kick off mode and Ultimate Team.

Oh. All is forgiven then.

Arshavin never wants to leave Arsenal.

Wenger wasted Arshavin

On Seasons

Gervinho is rated 2 overall better than Arshavin

Wasn't Gervinho in the 80's at one point?

He's STILL 81

Ivory Coast's best player

How has Yaya Toure got 86 and Gerv only 81?

EA conspiracy

Hatin'

Jese goal on his debut but we still lose 3-2 at home to Sociedad. They just kept the ball like total facking cants at the end

Think the Newcastle game I had early was one of the most exciting games I've played offline. Defending from both sides was awful, both had chances galore, Welbeck scoring a hat trick for Newcastle says it all.

It went:
1-0 them
1-1
1-2 me
2-2
2-3
3-3
3-4

Was mad it was.

Ended my 4 game losing run in the league with a 0-0 at Valladolid.

I don't find goal-fests that exciting a lot of the time. They're not too rare for me. I've only kept 4 clean sheets in 22 games in the league.
