    Kuban Krasnodar or Udinese.

    Ivory coast when Im in attacking mood, or Stoke when defensive. Used Real for a while but its too repetitive. They've got me to the league title and premium cup in H2H quite easily to be honest.

    Celtic

    9-1-4 so far :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,499 ✭✭✭Sabre0001


    Palmero - 4 star team, but some great players!

    🤪

    PSG. Great team.

    Sporting Gijon


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,739 ✭✭✭Fowler87


    Generally Sao Paulo, Twente but have experimented with a few others inc Pompey and Galatasaray. However recently, Ive gone on a 5 game unbeaten run with Ireland beating the likes of Barca and Juventus:eek: but most importantly, getting me promoted to division 2:) The 4-4-2 formation when used with the right players works well!

    I've used PSG the most. Great team, as already stated above. Others I've used and do well with are Spartak Moscow, Roma and Ireland.

    I beat a lad the other night with Ireland 7-1, he was Mexico. After going 3 up inside 30 minutes I was content to pretty much just play the game out, he was fairly hopeless in attack and defence. Anyway, I messed up a pass near my box, a scramble ensued and he toe poked it in and then proceeded to take the piss by doing the long ssshh celebration and watching all 3 replays of the goal. So I said f**k you then and ripped him apart. As Fowler mentioned, Ireland have the right players to make 4-4-2 work.

    FK Molde from Norway. They have some serious pace and strength up front, with Angan in particular able to deal with whatever five star teams inevitably get thrown your way. I won the Division 1 title using them so don't have a bad thing to say!

    Santos; Neymar is a tricksters dream. Or else Valencia.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 124 ✭✭ConorBF1


    Santos.

    Neymar. Borges. Ganso. ♥

    Going well with them so far. Just got promoted to Division 4 and have yet to lose. 30-6-0.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 496 ✭✭bigred100


    Newcastle, and Man United for those times were I can't buy a win.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,128 ✭✭✭thorbarry


    I wish they had some system where, if you pick an international team, you cant play against a club team.

    Ireland VS Sunderland is just wrong

    Yeah, couldn't go back after making the switch with last version. I'll add you up now :)

    napoli mainly for cavani and lavezzi


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,846 ✭✭✭NufcNavan


    Juve.

    Napoli seem to be the most overused team in the 4 1/2 star category.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,024 ✭✭✭Moiph


    Started using Zenit over the last few days and I've found them to be really good. Kerzhakov is a beast.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,523 ✭✭✭kwestfan08


    I'm a huge fan of playing with Spurs in a 4-1-2-1 with Bale up front partnering Ade, VDV through the middle and Lennon and Modric on the wings. Serious pace IMO, Bale will just skin anybody. Ledley King is also a beast in defence.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 70 ✭✭Boulders


    Only just started playing Fifa 12 a couple of days ago but been using Napol (carrying on from Fifa 11). Trio of Cavani, Levezzi and Hamsik is devastating.

    Love 'em!

    Not a fan of playing three at back though as you can be exposed easily playing against decent opposition. I'll probably try using a 4-3-3 with them from now on. Or possibly a 4-1-2-1-2 with Hamsik sitting in behind Lavezzi and Cavani.

    I usually just leave it as 3 at the back but bring Zuniga in for Dossena as he's got more pace. Compared to Fifa 11 i've found Hamsik to be more prolific goalscoring.

    Hoffenheim! Absolutely lethal.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,639 ✭✭✭deafroadrunner


    i used to use barca all the time. got bored with them so switched to brazil. im using lazio and santos now tho. division 3 now :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,743 ✭✭✭Revolution9


    I love Athletico Madrid for their attacking trio of Falcao, Turan and Reyes, not to mention Diego pulling the strings behind them.

    I'm also quite potent with Nilmar and Rossi when I pick Villareal.

    I generally shy away from picking 5 star teams.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,247 ✭✭✭✭Lemlin


    I use City. Tevez and Aguero up front are tricky for any team to deal with. Good attacking mids too in the likes of Nasri and Silva, plus defensive mids like De Jong and Yaya Toure.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,390 ✭✭✭Guffy


    liverpool... bring skrtyl in or yall get raped for pace... i don't know if its just the formation but when i changed to them got promoted to div 2 in 3 straight seasons.... was villareal b4 that till the first update annoyed me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 119 ✭✭MaidenSlayer


    Bayern Munich. Unreal attack Robben, Ribery, Muller, Gomez. Not to mention Bastian pulling the strings. Two decent wingbacks in Lahm and Rafinha and two decent centre halves in Boateng and Badstuber, and the beast that is Manuel Neuer in goal. Such a good team to use, always seem to beat "those people" who use Barcelona.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 572 ✭✭✭K.C


    Wolves, Villa, QPR and LA Galaxy.
