    I can't promise i'll try, but i'll try to try! :D
    Cjayses - treble11- Inter Milan

    You might well find yourself smashing your controller against the wall before the season is out. I nearly had an aneurysm due to Forlan last season. He has no pace or strength, can't dribble or pass, the only thing he can do is tap the ball into a empty net from 5 yards.

    Pazzini scored all my goals last season, but Milito never seemed to be as good on the pitch as his stats would indicate. Anyway i won't have to worry about that this season.

    I think Messi and Villa should be a lot more fun to play with. Hopefully i can change some of my simply insane number of draws from last season into a few more wins. Though i might have to have words with Dani Alves, he seems to pop up all over the place (Except Right Back!).

    Looking forwards to it! Though I'm using Chelsea who I'm not used to, and am not used to playing against 5 star teams (I use 4* mostly).

    My Team Napoli were gone but Dortmund are quiet hand so really looking forward to getting underway :) anyone I should be wary of lol


  • Registered Users Posts: 587 ✭✭✭Sync


    Time to start using Liverpool online... get some practice in! My usual teams were being used... but this will give me a chance to use someone new :)

    Havn't played FIFA in roughly 4-5 days, should really start practising with Spurs!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,345 ✭✭✭jamescd


    Had Spurs last season, really struggled defensively. I remember I was 3 - 1 up in my opening game and somehow conceded 2 goals in the last 10 minutes. It only got worse from there :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 22,249 ✭✭✭✭Lemlin


    Got the team I play with, Man City, which I was delighted with.

    They're not world beaters in any area by any means but are solid in defence, midfield and attack. Joe Hart can be unbeatable in some games as well, particularly strong on long shots.

    Who are you kidding Man City are probaly the best team in the game if you can use them right lol Dzeko and Aguero up front and you're on easy street

    I'd say Real Madrid are the best team, power and pace all over the pitch.

    I have also had a troubled past with Forlan. He was absolute cack for me in season 11. Hopefully things will be different with big Wes behind him!

    Hon AC!


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,671 ✭✭✭ScummyMan


    This is my first season so I don't really know what to expect, should be good craic though!


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,470 ✭✭✭brianregan09


    @Manunitedlad I'm in the same boat as you 1st time leaguer too , so whats the standard in the leagues like ? as in what level are you at online or what way would ya judge it ?


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,191 ✭✭✭✭Shanotheslayer


    Same as the two lads above ^^. First time league. Never played against anyone on boards, suppose that's good as i'll have no fear of someone who won last year etc etc


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,470 ✭✭✭brianregan09


    So we're qpr,swansea and norwhich of the league then . here to upset the bog boys lol :P


  • Registered Users Posts: 760 ✭✭✭Shane.C


    1st season for me too!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,562 ✭✭✭Parawind


    so whats the standard in the leagues like ? as in what level are you at online or what way would ya judge it ?

    Standard is quite good in the Premiership, though several very good players have had to opt out in the last few seasons which is a shame. To give you an idea of level, i'd say about 5 or 6 of us are in Division 1 in H2H Seasons. But that can be false statistic as i know there are some really tough players who aren't very highly ranked. Only way to judge the level is to play the people yourself.

    Championship can be a mixed bag, their are some good players who just don't take the league as competitively but are still a real handful. ( Won't ruin the surprise for you of who they are ;D )

    However its the fresh blood that helps to keep things interesting as there is the "unknown" factor. So welcome to all the new players, i look forward to our future matches!

    PS: This is me being nice before the league starts, give it a few game weeks and i'll be a lot b*tchier with my posts! So apologies in advance.

    How were people picked into premiership/championship? I'm a new comer and got Premier, just curious


  • Registered Users Posts: 22,249 ✭✭✭✭Lemlin

    Nah, I'd rate Madrid, Barca and Bayern before them to be honest. City have no player like Ronaldo or Messi who is ridiculously good, just plenty of solid players.

    Dzeko is a lethal finisher alright but Tevez is a good option up front too.

    I'm a newcomer too and I'm in Division 4 in H2H. Been languishing between Division 5/6 for a while but finally got into 4.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,030 ✭✭✭Keano!


    Newcomer, Division 2 in the H2H Seasons, a formidable opponent! :o


  • Registered Users Posts: 587 ✭✭✭Sync


    Newcomer, Division 1 in H2H Seasons, only just got into it this week :P

    Newcomers were spread across the 2 divisions. We had 3 divisions last year so had to even things out between 2 divisions this time without messing with last seasons standings too much either.


  • Registered Users Posts: 22,249 ✭✭✭✭Lemlin


    Have we to start adding people in our divisions as friends or what way does that work?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,345 ✭✭✭jamescd


    You can add them now or you can add when you're due to play each other. Whatever's convenient for you


  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,461 Mod ✭✭✭✭Axwell


    The fixture list will be going up Friday and the league starting Friday evening so you can add them now for handiness sake.


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,191 ✭✭✭✭Shanotheslayer
