Normally I wouldn't suggest using it but with 3 CB you can have your LB and RB playing as wingers to an extent.

Also it lets me cut inside and blast shots with Alves while the opposition marks Hulk.

and you will usually never have to worry about getting counter attacked.

Oh, I know the benefits to using it. I'm just dead against 5 in defence I did give it a go admittedly for a few games, and it was cruise control. Again, I can under why people use it fully but I guess it's my football beliefs that will make sure I don't use it ever again. The game would be so much better if they removed ultra defensive and 5 at the back formations, but unfortunately that will never happen. Far too many of these players who live and die for the counter (through ball) usually.

How are most players still playing with God awful teams?.
Players like Nasri can be picked up for 10k or so now but I still come up against teams with players I had after 2/3 weeks
Surely they can't all the new players(or played so few games)

One thing I want them to Implement next year would be some way of seeing the opposition teams Chemistry before hand.
The reason this is, is because I played about 4 games in a row yesterday where they had 40-50% chemistry and MUCH worse teams(one had a BAD bronze team in the Advanced cup with 46%) and I had to sit through a 15-0, 10-0 and scored 8/9 in another 2/3 games.

Really takes the fun out of it when I know I'm going to beat them to a pulp before it even starts. I'd actually rather avoid those lads.

... maybe some of us don't want Nasri and the like.

It'll no doubt come across like that, but I'm not being arrogant when I say it, I'm honestly not that good but with far weaker sides I'll win 80% if not more of games. It's fun battering the super teams with weaker squads.

I've only been playing since February this year. Most I've spent on one player has been Cavani, cost me 9500.

And I'm only playing since Feb myself, but I now have 3 higher than average EPL/Spanish/Seria A and Brazil Silver(pretty good French silver too but needs tweaking).

I just don't see the masses agreeing with that statement ''maybe we don't want Nasri''... defeats the whole purpose of the game, why take weaker players?

I can understand using a 'weaker' team(I'm going to build a French league again with some 30-50k IFs as I did for my Seria A team but they'll still be much weaker than my Premier League team) and not using your best every single game, but can't see why you wouldn't strive to get the best players for those teams.

Maybe most just waste their coins on packs and saving for players.
I trade(formations) myself which is why I built up the squads I have in just 4/5 months.
Its just the prices have crashed so much(this past month) for fairly decent players(Yaya Toure, Nasri etc) that attaining these players should be easier now and I expected to see a rise in the average standard of the teams.

I said maybe some of us, indicating more than likely a minority of people. Quite obvious that the majority would side with yourself.

I have 8 teams myself, 5 gold teams and 3 bronzes. Hopefully I'll have 1 silver squad again soon enough. I also had a gold Eredivisie and Portuguese Liga side at one point, think I posted both here if I'm not mistaken. That's what I love about FUT, making squads. Doesn't have to be necessarily the strongest one or the one with the most IF's or TOTY's because I do not need that. Again, I'll stress that I'm not a good player but I'm better than most on FUT when I'm playing my favored team.

My favourite gold team consists of the likes of Irola, Carzola, Jose Callejon, Thiago (Barca), Isco, Muniain, Monreal, Montoya, Tello and such players, that is a team I'll win comfortably with more often than not even against Messi, Ronaldo, Pique, Puyol, Xavi, Villa and co (if talking about La Liga) are crap. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't say no to them players if I got them, I'd be lying if I said otherwise. I love Dani Alves for one as I'm a bit of a fanboy (hence the PSN) of his so I'd make room for him Ibra is someone I'd love to have too. But I'm not gonna go out of my way to spend what I consider ridiculous amount of coins for them when there really is no need to. There is something very satisfying about not just winning, but battering the vastly superior teams.

If people are very much into their IF's and TOTY cards, or playing the very best teams as possible then power to them. I just wish such teams in the main weren't so defensive and played for the counter. Think it's a bit sad tbh, but that's just my opinion.

edit - Going back to Nasri. I won't get him out of principal as I dislike him (much the same reason I'd never get Fabregas) immensely plus I already love my Ligue 1 midfield of M'Vila, Belhanda and Sissokho.
