What formation are you running? Granted I only played with Everton against my roommate but Barkley is the tits at the CAM position in the 4231.

By the way, Mousa Dembele (Fulham not Spurs) is a beast. He's only a 64 at the start but doesn't feel like it at all. Very athletic. I got him for 2 mil. For an 18 year old striker already at 64 that is super solid.

If you're looking for a young RB you can get Bellerin pretty cheap. You should probably loan him out for a few seasons though or play him in matches against scrub teams. How is Chambers rated? He just made a move so Arsenal aren't going to be interested in selling him.

I don't know how expensive Bellarabi is on the game but that dude is a monster. I've been playing with Leverkusen online. He, Son and Kießling are a solid attack.

I'm also in the market for a replacement RB (I'm eyeing Chambers), another winger (Januzaj is not getting any better and doesn't play well IMO), and a playmaking CAM.

Bernard or Kevin Volland for the winger, Roberto Firmino at CAM. As for RB, I would check out Italy and France.

Volland is one of those that plays really well for his overall. IMO

Formation

41212. I really like the link up play between my strikers. Gio/Lukaku have been combining pretty well.

Barkley

He was great in a 4231 for me playing against friends, but against the computer he's been far less effective in every formation I've tried.

Update: Destro agreed to my contract offer (after demanding more money).

Thinking about Lamela as an option on the wing. Him and Destro would be my more expansive purchases. Arsenal wants 5 for Chambers. Will look into these other guys as potential buy and loans or to play in cup matches. Have the team up to 4th right now, ahead of Spurs on GD. Hoping to finish top 4 and make Champs League.

And he's also a really good CM/CAM.

I had him on FIFA 11 Ultimate team for my bronze German team. He was 53 overall.

He's come so far.

Is there anything you can do to get your players on loan? Have some promising young players, but no one is biting.

I have the same problem. And I have no idea if they are improving on loan or not.

I could use some general tips. Playing on the 360 if that matters.


How the frick do I stop someone from going through my whole defense on opening kickoffs/after goals? I don't think it's just me because I can just as easily run through opponents and get a decent look 3/4 of the time.

Also...any tips for scoring 1v1 vs the keeper? I've gotten really good at setting up good looks but seem to miss wide or get it blocked most of the time. I've tried lobbing when they charge but it's more when they are barely charging.

1 on 1 I think a low/weak finesse is better but then again I suck at it so..

Eta - just won my second to last online game that would've got me promoted with a chance at the title (3-0) and when the game was over is gave me some bullshite about being disconnected and now I've got to try again..

Double edit.. Nope only have one game remaining now. frick off EA.

Well, you can go into the squad report under the squad tab and see their form and the effects on their stats. Every player on loan as improved somewhat.

Scratch that. Everyone is using PSG now

Just got promoted to division 7 after being down 3-1 at the half came back to win 4-3 on literally the last kick of the game.

I am absolutely getting slaughtered online. I can't go more than 15 seconds without someone having a decent shot at a goal.

I did all the skills challenges and tutorials but then I get online and people walk right through me. And this is in divisions 9-10. Last year was the first version I didn't really play online, but holy hell I'm bad now.

anyone else having this same issue?
