LLoris is good but yesterday I faced De Gea a couple of times......this was a deja vu with last year Cech for me.....amazing saves...(impossible saves)

Nemesis is still Begovic. At least you don't see Lloris that much.

So how can you win the cup despite conceding 14 goals in the 4 matches? Score 22 in return!

Scores of 6-3, 6-2, 6-6 (3-1 on penalties) and 4-3 won me my 6th Gold Cup with this:

My manager was a special one off Kevin Keegan card, that magically took over during the matches!

What a dangerous team it was. Fernando Torres is astonishingly good still. Balde Diao Keita I've never even heard of, but is a huge threat at LW. 4* skills and weak foot and H/L meant he was the second top scorer behind Torres. Always was in an advanced and dangerous position, with the ability to beat his full back with ease. People would say this is mostly due to his pace, but this was disproved by Iturbe on the opposite wing. He was horrible. Shocking on the ball, terrible dribbling. Got a few goals but not one I'll be using again. Felt like a 70 rated silver with bad stats.
In midfield, Victor Perez was ok, nothing special, put away 5 penalties out of 5, after I had had 10 out of 11 saved previously. It had got so bad, I was starting to think there was some glitch to automatically save penalties! He was like a 75 should be.
The other two midfielders were spectacular. Sergio Mate is the perfect CDM, and if I ever make a BBVA team with a CDM he'll be first choice for it. Stays at CDM and tackles anything that goes near him. Did the job perfectly.
Ever Banega is another I couldn't recommend highly enough. Got three goals in the final and his 6 goals were all pretty decent strikes. Another with 4* skills and weakfoot and couldn't argue with his value for only 400 coins. Should cost 10 times that.
As for the defence, IF Djilobodji was good, Mexer and Souare were ok, Coke at RB was bad, and Costil in goal isn't very good.

Deciding on my next team, but can't get enough of using these lesser known players and finding ones that perform wonderfully. When you beat the BPL runners with Simao Mate tackling everything, and they start playing with more and more visable frustration allowing you to destroy them with Ever Banega, it makes it all worthwhile.

Nice TWS. Good read.

6-6 ...

well done TWS! indeed 6-6.

It feels pretty good destroying the regular teams. Think that is my mission right now too.

interesting teams. Curious on Salah.

I have now played around 80 games with the 4231 team with Mitroglou up front and featuring IF Afellay, IF Bonucci and IF Reid. For the life of me can't win the gold cup with it. Got to a couple of finals and it is a really enjoyable team to use, but I am thinking of making another team and resting that one for a couple of weeks.
Thought I'd created a nice little Saudi League/Bundesliga/BBVA team, featuring IF Mustafi and IF Zieler but unfortunately Pietr Trochowski is in the database but doesn't have any cards in the game.

Have reworked my team to get IF Perisic in there:

Was a shame that Trochowski doesn't exist, remember him being incredible in FUT12 I think.

yet to play with if afellay, want to get if janmaat for chem reasons ...


same with perisic, didn't get a start with him, thinking to get him as RF, btw ivica olic s amazing, scored like 20 g in 10 games with a couple of assts. re instructions and custom tactics, definitely seeing the difference. am using them quite extensively
