This weekend was the start for FIFA17 for me. I created a 352 and 433 team and both didn't play the way I hoped for. So I changed back to 4312, an all time favorite for me.

First team:


Serie A meets Primera Division.

Zarate: 4 WF/4 Skill. And is one word OP: 7 out 7.
IF Benedetto: wanted to try him out. 5 star weak foot show. Lethal but not as lethal as Zarate. Might replace him for Tevez . 1 out 4
DÁlessandro: probably doesn't need any introduction. 5 star skill and 4 star weak foot. 3 out of 7. Picked him up for 650 coins and he feels sooooooo great on the ball. Really teh star in my team

Belluschi: work horse on the left side. Strong link with the LB
Biglia: consistent as always. I am surprised how many times he penetrates the box despite his WR.
Jorginho: work horse on the right side

Mas: LB fast , decent physics, decent shooting and passing.
Rodriquez: solid as a rock, not so fast but good WR and linking with Mas possible
De Vrij: one of my RL favorites. Just had to put him in
Maggio: haven't used him for a long time. Good back in this formation as both backs will come forward a lot. You need high stamina and decent passing.

Viviano: never used him before but pretty solid

All in all a nice and affordable team. I won the last game with them against a pace **** with only 80+ paced players in it. 2 goals from d"Alessandro sealed the deal. Team felt coherent, I had 93% passing accuracy which is kind of amazing (against his 58%). Nevertheless I am having trouble with heavy skilling players. It seems that the roulette and fake shot are instant hits again. I am thinking of keeping this team for a bit, although I have coins to improve.

Will post team 2 shortly
