re: FIFA 16 Official Thread

Watch out Dzeko and Pjanic...the next great Bosnian, and I got him on the cheap.

I'm still in the League One and I saw the thread you made.

Peterborough running away with League one at the new year.

Just brought in RLC in on loan and bough Frey from Leverkusen.

Also bough Shelton from NYCFC dude is going to be a monster for me.

Hopefully Nacho does't ink a new deal with City so i can get him on a free during the summer. Can't grab him now bc of his age.

Beat United in the league cup semi's on our way to Wembley .

anyone notice how many soft/doggy pens are in this game?

It seems to always happen to me. In the span of 3 matches i had conceded 6 alone. 3 in one league cup match which I lost 6-5.


Also has anyone noticed a glitch with sometimes when you score they count it as an own goal. I have had two clear goals with no deflections ruled as an own goal.

Alright, I got caught up with some other things so I've been slacking on my Career Mode. I put a couple hours in over the weekend, and I'm now in the transfer window in my 2nd season (League One).

Currently top of the table with Bradford City 5 points behind (we're both so far ahead of everyone else). Season is going well so far, only a small amount of injuries (Mullins out for 6 weeks was the longest).

Acquisitions/Sales:
I decided to not renew Stanely Aborah's contract (wanted 15k at 29, screw that). Sold him for 550k. That freed up a lot of my wage budget so pursue some contract expiring players.

- Brought in Romain Gall (21yo, 66 rated RM) from Columbus Crew on a 1 year loan with a 700k buyout.
- Agreed to terms with Jon Taylor from Petersborough on free transfer (and only 7.5k/week wages). He's 24, rated 68 RM.

I need depth on the wings in a bad way. Both players should be major contributors for me.

I cut Snead and McLeod as I wasn't going to bring back either.


Now I'm in a weird spot for my remaining players. A lot are starting to demand higher wages, and I certainly can't afford to up Hyndman from 3.2k/week to the 15k/week he's asking for.

I'm already in my second season at Watford. Decided to go with a newly promoted Premier League team for a change, and I liked Watford's kits and stadium.

I'm running a flexible 3-4-3 formation with a false nine that can shift into a 4-4-2 diamond, a 4-3-3, a 3-5-2 or a number of 5-back sets without changing personnel. Playing pressing football with an emphasis on short, triangle passing.

I wasn't down with Gomes playing in goal for me, so I bought the young Brazilian GK Alisson, who a friend told me is out of this world. He comes in with an 86 rating on reflexes, and he levels up at an insane pace in training. I bought him for around $10 million and threw in an older defender who wasn't quick enough to run my system.

With him in goal, we were excellent on defense but had a hard time scoring on good teams (the frustration of playing on legendary this year). He led the league in clean sheets, but we finished eighth. because of so many scoreless draws. (Eighth would still be the best record for a newly promoted team in more than a decade, I found out, so I'm not complaining).

I bought Fred, the Brazilian CM from Shakhtar, to play alongside Miguel Layun...who I recalled from loan and moved to midfield. Both of those deals pretty much wiped out most of my transfer budget, but I sold some deadwood to create space to sign Munir from Barcelona on a two-year loan deal. Needed a dynamic winger on that side.

This was my first-choice XI in Season 1. Capoue played slightly further up in the formation than the other two CBs as a deeper, aggressive, ball-winning mid. He still was a CB, so he never wandered forward.

------Ibarbo-----------Munir--------------
----------------Deeney-----------------------
------------------------------------------------
Holebas----Fred----Layun----------Juanfran
------------------------------------------------
---Ake---------Capoue--------Nyom--------
------------------------------------------------
-----------------Alisson-----------------------

In the January window, I picked up Julian Green and Erick Gutierrez for depth.

In the summer window before my second season, I sold quite a few expensive reserves and bought:

- Nathan Redmond (winger) from Norwich City, who were relegated...he starts because Ibarbo went back to Italy at the end of his loan
- Callum Wilson (striker who can also play a little wing) from Bournemouth, also relegated
- Nelson Semedo (right back) from Benfica, because he's super quick and has great potential
- John Brooks (you know who he is), because I'm transitioning Ake back to more of a LB of the future (although he's a great athletic choice at CB)
- Rodrigo (right winger, left winger, striker, all-around FIFA god) from Valencia, who had him on the bench for some reason and were willing to part with him around $15 million...pure highway robbery on my part

Rodrigo has been the key for me to unlock defenses as a lead scorer and assister. I'm in November and sit fifth in the Premier League, and I've advanced deep into the Capital One Cup.

Just bought an Xbox One, FIFA 16 and Star Wars Battlefront this weekend. Haven't popped FIFA into the machine yet....preoccupied with Star Wars.

I am surprised that there's only 2 MLS stadiums in the game.

Do these work well? Why are there 400 pages after the OP?

Yessir. They have a couple of main guys who tweak them with every new update, and plenty of feedback from testers.

They're probably the most famous FIFA sliders on the Internet, and they get a ton of feedback from people all over with videos and stat lines to show. Lot of discussion.

The OP always has the freshest set.
