After a lot of games (played 140) I finally found a formation and playing style that matches the few strenghts I have playing this game. I basicaly play 4-2-2-2. Traded in Felliani for Sissoko and got Juan mata for Hulk, best decision ever. Hulk went out = wins went up. It isn't even that juan mata is such a goal machine, it's just the fact that Hulk plays extremely bad for his stats. I found odemwingie, even that petrobo... guy to play much better then Hulk, even though he has like 15 less overall rating. Ivarov is the last of the defaults that I have, love the guy, will never replace him. I like my team as it is and other then maybe upgrading to a better defender, I really don't need other players anymore. Here's my team as it stands:
---------------Julio Baptista CF----------------
----------------------------------------------
Juan Mata WF---------------------------------
----------------------------------------------
--------------------------Odemwingie SMF----
-----Wesley AMF------------------------------
---------------------------Cahill CMF----------
----------------------------------------------
--------------Sissoko DMF---------------------
A. Fathy LB---------------------------Berria RB
----------------------------------------------
---------Chrygynsky-----Rozenhal-------------
----------------------------------------------
-----------------The Ivar---------------------
Yesterday I found the time, well actually made the time to play a tournament. My first 2 matches went ok, nothing special but managed to win fairly easy, third match however ended in a draw. It was one of those matches were I had 15 shots off which 12 hit target but no goal.. That guy's goalie must've been on steroids that game. I thought, well no biggy, time for three games left. The first two I won 3-0 and 3-1.
Felt fairly confident as I hit the next match button. I was set against a guy who had his default defence, plus a keeper with 50 overall, but had aguero and villa up front. I tinkered around a little with the tactics and stuff, really no clue as to what I was doing but I just like to tinker with the whole slider system. So game begins, he passes to aguero, aguero walks past my defence like their all mentally disabled hunchbacks with the brain capacity of a drooling two year old, and slams it past my beloved Ivarov (who doesn't respond well to that kind of shite in the first 10 seconds of a game!) So what do I do: I attack, no let me refrase that; I try to get to his goal, but the purple ARROWS OF DEATH dangling around mata and baptista's neck don't seem to cooperate. I lost the game 1-0 and really didn't even had a decent shot on target, I mean he had a 50 overall keeper! That's so bad that had I actually managed to get the ball anywhere near him, his suckness at the goal keeping trait had just warped my shot right in the net, but no.. He beat me, actually he ended on 2nd place in the competition and went on to win the bugger.
Just love the MLO, last installments I played things like ML offline and bal alot, haven't even touch'd those modes yet!!
