On the flip side of the coin I lost 3 matches on the bounce...although one was against a All Gold team, I noticed of late I have been even worse at defending dribblers seems they just waltz through my defense and if my defenders do tackle them the ball just goes straight back to the opponent.

What's wrong with playing a one-two? That's kinda how you open up a defence

Unless you're describing the whole process of using the rather fast black men as g@y

Edin i've changed my team...
I have a Serie A team now.

4-2-3-1

Abate---Astori---Lucio----Antonini
--------Vidal-------Cambiasso----------
K.P Boateng-----------------Giovinco
--------------Robinho---------------
---------------Micolli-----------------

Get someone better than Astori

I had him at some point

Andre Dias is good

Miccoli is quality

If you're having a Serie A team you need to get the Napoli players in. They're fantastic.

The only formation I hate playing against is the 5-2-1-2 formation as all they do is push the ball up early to the CF, your CB gets drawn out and then he plays a one-two around your remaining CB and runs through on goal.

The only time I ever change formation is when I'm playing that formation, where I move to a 4-1-2-1-2 so that I have a CDM to combat it.

Plays for Palermo

Quick, good at dribbling and good at shooting

But weak and bad at heading

Yeah, Edin he plays for Palermo as CSTP said. He is a beast.

Ivan, I'm saving up for a Lavezzi and possibly a Cavani so yeah Napoli players are really good tbh. Hamsik is waaay underrated on this FIFA.

5-2-1-2 is so hard to break down!

I'm also saving up for a Pato.
So I have to save up about 40k.

Wellinton is fast, but he can't shoot much.

I like having 5*skillers as i use skills a lot.
Neymar was a BEAST when I had him, I could possibly have him again. Loved Neymar tbh.

The art to scoring crossed goals isn't necessarily the delivery but the movement of your strikers as the ball is in the air. You need to quickly maneouvre them to get in front of the defender (unless you sometimes play a 6'4 striker like me ).

CSTP Andre Dias, I'll get him soon then. I only got Astori as he has 71 pace at the back.

Edin you bro is a pacey

Ok...I need a bit of advice.

I'm wanting to buy IF Giroud for my team as a striker to compete with Benzema.

I currently have 19,402 coins but as a ST he costs more than that.

There is one CF Giroud who is selling at 14k and it is possible I could get him for the money I have, assuming nobody else goes nuts with the bidding.

Should I buy the CF Giroud or wait and save up for a ST Giroud?

*your

Ivan, check how much the CF >>> ST position card is?

Buy him I would say.
Chemistry wouldn't be affected that much.

TopLad - I had a look right after typing and there are a few at around 6k-7k which is a bit steep IMO.

Edin yeah I used to play how you did tbh.

Until I found out a few skills and got obsessed haha.

Ivan, you can probably get it for open bid around 5k...

I would say to go for the CF Giroud.

If it was me I'd save up for ST Giroud
