Soooooooooo..... About those TOTS players..... *cough*



Just noticed an error in this one. Need to change a CB for Melings chem, a club link served there for the previous LB.
Editedit. Doesn't work, there isn't the options, will need a jiggle.



Another error here, Seidl and Offenbacher need swapping for full chem.





The last 2 5 blue teams are untried. The 3rd, 4321, did have one game with a different CB combo, didn't go so well. Utterly dominated the game and played some wonderful bronze football but had the full BS experience and lost. Djene is being bid on right this minute.
Currently building the 4th, all blues acquired already, over the last few days. Just worked out the team and filling it in.

Unfortunately, my last session went a bit amiss after a few games. Started not finding opponents again and had to go play a couple gold games to pass the time. Would be the ultimate irony if, after all these buys, I went back to not being able to use them.

Thanks Cuz.

Nice blue and bronze teams there! There certainly are a good few TOTS bronzes & pricing is pretty decent.

Nice looking teams cuz, have thought about getting some of the bronze tots players but just remember being unable to get a single bronze game earlier this year so I am very reluctant to buy any. Haven't played a single game against a non friend for some time now as well.

Just had another decent little spell of finding games. Slow to get the 1st, perhaps 5 or 6 tries, after that, I only had to retry once I think. Played 1 game with each. Confirmed, 5 blue teams are absolutely beyond atrocious, 2 of the very worst performances I've ever had on UT. The other 2 games were alright, the Andrezinho/Stewart bunch (just 2 blues) were excellent. The other laboured a bit but still came through, Offenbacher outshining everyone from LCDM, 4 goals in 5 for him.
So, just need to knock up 2 or 4 more teams and spread them around a bit I think. Shame because the Kapustka/Stepinski/Maddison/Power combo shows fantastic promise, they're just even more horribly unlucky/randomly incompetent now Djene has joined the (non) party.

Been playing a lot of games in the bronze cup this week. Expanded to 8 teams, ditched a few that debut failed for new versions in different formations, so have used maybe 11 teams this week altogether. Won the cup a couple times early in the week and thought it was all going good but have had a fair bit of BS since then, particularly in finals. Several times cruising through to one before getting handed a bunch of total lemons dressed up in my kits. Extended this to the gold cup last night too. Still had plenty of good games.

Since I shall hopefully be getting Overwatch in the next couple days, UT time will likely be cut back, so here is the crowning glory of all this bronze experimentation. I don't remember losing a game with these boys since I went to this line up 10 games ago-



Attack:
Andrezinho is the obvious star of the show, he's absolutely fantastic.  17 goals and 4 assists in 19 games doesn't tell the whole story, he's such a star playmaker and in that F9 position he gets the ball to feet all the time. He makes everything happen up there then finishes it all off. Decent pace and passing, astonishing balance and control and on top of that, 85 shot power. The bronze Messi, no question.
Romario Balde/Greg Stewart. Always with this F9 formation, I have trouble getting the wingers to be anything more than support players, both do a really good job at that tho and contribute plenty without troubling the goals/assists much. Kind of an irritant to me because they both have great stats as goal threats. Balde has decent finishing, good agility and a strong 72 shot power, tends to do alright on goal kicks sent up to him for some reason. Stewart has stunning stats for a bronze, 80 short pass is probably the best I've seen. Great dribbling and shooting too, all round he has good silver/low gold level stats where it counts. Inside strong foot for both as well. A shame neither has a high attack WR as that'd make a fair bit of difference.

Midfield:
The team really shines here.
Joackim Jorgensen is so perfect as a CDM I reckon he'd do a job at any level. The key thing is that hard to find L/H WR, allied to that he has strong bronze level stats everywhere. Surprisingly nimble for a guy with 82 strength, very good passing, 70 on interceptions, wins almost every header and to cap it off, 82 shot power. There's nothing he can't do and he'll happily sit where he's told, the rarest commodity going on UT16. He also has 7 assists in his 20 games. I wish I could use him in all my teams.
Barry Robson is a genuine legend. Amazing stats, as befits someone who used to play at the top level. Lack of pace is no issue at all when you can pass and shoot like he can, ridiculous strength makes him defensively useful as well. Free kick accuracy of 85 is off the charts for a bronze, particularly allied to 86 power. 6 goals and 5 assists in 10 games is quite a contribution.
Andre Horta is new to me and, after being picked just for Andrezinho chem, has turned out to be a real gem. He wasn't an ideal pick for the position, with a H/L WR, terrible strength and very average defence stats, but going forward he's brilliant. The many, many runs he makes help me so much. Creating chances in this formation has often been a struggle for me but he will beat his man, create space for others and thread the ball through again and again. Yet another with very good shot power tho his finishing stat is awful, not that you'd think it from this...



Defence:
Nothing outstanding about 4 of the back 5, they're solid citizens. Wangberg is something of a bronze legend, strong and consistent choice at CB for numerous years. Both full backs have handy touch of pace. Antonsen is actually very good, being nice on the ball, pacy and good in defence is rare on a bronze, his M/M helps balance Horta's movement as well.
Kevin Larsen is the stand out. Defensively he's solid, like the others, nothing amazing, but he's pretty decent with the ball for a centre half and has a cannon of a left foot. 76 power, 77 long shots and 70 FK acc. I often let him take the FKs, just for the novelty.
(I've literally just discovered that Antonsen has 80 shot power, must shoot with him! Actually means only 3 players have shot power under 70...)

All in all, every player has key stats that put them up there with the very best bronzes and more than that, they gel and work as a team really, really well. Possibly my favourite bronze team out of all those I've had on any UT.

Nice! Stewart was really good when I used him and I think his ingame rating is 76!

Yeah, pretty crazy. Would kind of like to try him in a 4321 or 4231, I get much more out of the wide men in those.

Found another dirt cheap TOTS to spend my last pennies on. That strong link with Tevez.... Only been waiting 6 months for one I liked.



Only change I had to make to get him in (for Banega, since I didn't want to replace Salah or move Tevez) was Pereira in for Alba. Quite the downgrade but a positive contribution from Pereira in his 1st few games, a goal included. Balances out a little, Lodeiro making up for the loss of Alba's attacking threat with M/M Pereira backing him up more.
Then of course, I could do with that strong Tevez link what I wanted to do way back when. Totti returns!!
Disappointed I sold my original one at some point, been desperate for spare coins at various times an obviously needed that 700 for something. Still, great to have him back, love his style and he has so much quality.

3 games with them last night. 1st I dominated and hit the post numerous times but BS was in full effect and I lost 2-1. Lodeiro was getting bullied at CDM tho and it made me question the wisdom of having him there. Totti, Tevez and Palacio were my main influences but showed equal skill in getting out of the way of key passes and strolling offside.
Next 2 were a good deal better, a 2 nil 1st half RQ. Both sweeping moves, one of which was Pereira's unlikely contribution.
Finally, TOTS Lodeiro stepped up with a 9.7 rating, one marvellous goal and 2 great assists. A 4-1 win in which his consolation goal should've been his signal to rush out and buy a lottery ticket.
So far Lods seems a cracking little player. Obviously not really supposed to be a CDM but I need a quality playmaker in there and he's really not that weak, 67 strength could be a lot worse. Predictably rubbish at winning goal kicks but can win the ball back occasionally and has that handy 80 pace for chasing back. Going forward from that position, massive. I often find the CAM I put in my CDM pair will end up being my biggest offensive influence, so much room for him to move into and so many gaps created as a result.

As a side note, revisiting these 2 long standing CAMs, both are on excellent scoring ratios from those wide positions. Tevez with 134 in 303, Salah with 18 in 53. Really, really good fun, the pair of them and perfectly suited for the way I use the formation.

Good to hear on Lodeiro Cuz - kid had looked to get him into a team. Didn't know if he'd be good or not. Will try him now ...

After using 433 (4/5) for SO long, decided a 2-striker formation was on the cards. But, hate any 4 atb variation, due to lack of width. Decided to tentatively stick my toes back in the water with 3412.

Bought in TOTS Barzagli (just because) - and IF Sandro was down to 26k, so why not. Had the rest so built this:

Ah ... was going to use Neymar at RST, but decided that 40k on (FUT '12 favourite) Gameiro, would be worth a try.

Overall ... wow. A D1 title, alternating them with a 3421 TOTS Turkey-led trio (Nani-Gomez-Podolski) & then followed that up with a TOTS Cup win for the kit (yay ... ::)). But, back to 3 atb doing very, very well. Helps when you have massively OP CB's (I'm off to do my analysis on IG stats).

Must add that Lucas gets swapped out for TOTY Alves there ... (just because ... again).

Edit ... Must add that TOTS Benzema is fast becoming the best striker we've used this year. Even playing the last 10-15 games in that CAM slot, he's scored 42 in 37 (around 10 assists too).

So here is quite possibly our best & final team:


Previously, had been using SIF Ghoulam & TOTS Barzagli. The kid decided that symmetry would be a cool idea - LW/RW = 90, 3x mids = 89, backline are all 92 - even if one is on 7 chem.

With the above team, we won 5 out of 6 today. Without the legends, easily won another D1 title yesterday. Was simply sublime stuff - well, when the connection was good. Great connection + massively OP team = effortless wins.

I did an analysis on in-game stats across the outfielders & broken down per line. Most impressive stats, across the team, were:
• Reactions - 90.20
• Stamina - 90.00
• Ball Control - 89.50
• Short Passing - 88.80

Others:
• Average defending stats on defense (Interceptions, Marking, Stand & Slide Tackle) - 93.94
• Average shooting stats on front 3 (Positioning, Finishing, Shot Power & Long Shots) - 93.00
• Average dribbling + ball control on Mid & Att - 92.75

Ridiculous stuff.

Built these 2 teams last night/this morning.

Going to take them into D1 and alternate, looking to test this no-chem bit on the 2nd one.

Firstly, this is the time of the year I usually end up building a long-shot team ... ;D

Keen on this one - Ozyakup is a CDM but boy he's got some great stats to play as the F9.
• Average Shot Power for the team is 86.30
• Average Long Shots for the front 6 is 86.50
• Average Short Passing for the front 6 is 84.17

Going to put passing & shooting chem styles on the 5 - not Ozyakup obviously :D.

... and this is the no-chem experiment:

All upgrades bar Miranda - had the 84 in the club and put him on full chem anyway. I do still want the consistency of the keeper there - known quantity so I can really check on the outfields. Douglas Costa was an untradeable and did not mean to get him on so much chem :D.
