The worst part about the Community Shield is if we win I will think nothing of it, but if we lose i'll be pretty annoyed that our trophy-less streak extends to ~3 months.

This is a great photo.
 
Get promoted, get given 1million to buy new players for the premier league :|, cant buy anyone decent, havent won a game so far, the pl average pass success rate is 98% and they score every shot.

Fifa pls

In FIFA career mode can't you just outplay the AI every game anyway? How big a difference do the players actually make?
 
Nasta is safe for another year, especially if/when Rekik is officially loaned out. I'll be sad if/when he goes. :( Demichelis' contract is up this year and if we keep him instead that'd bum me out.. but I wouldn't be surprised.

Firstly im Bristol City, Secondary this is on the highest difficulty and here are some stats ive personally kept.

The AI will score from 80% of its shots in League one and the Championship, it also had a pass accuracy of 85%+

In the premier league the pass accuracy is currently averaging 98%, meaning that when the ai gets the ball, it doesnt give it away. You may think "Well tackle them" which is a noble thought, but it doesnt exactly give you a chance. I have played 10 games in the premier league, conceded 15 goals and the CPU has shot, wait for it, 16 times. The ai has one shot a game usually, or two, it is incredibly difficult to stop this.

The CPU also does the following, if it goes a goal ahead it will pass it around its back four, not allowing you into the game. It will also sit 10 back constantly and play permanently on the counter attack, meaning that there is no space in behind them, you literally have to play triangles and hope for a decent run.

Listened to Phil Neville's TMS interview. He seems an alright fella to be honest. Those Neville brothers were damn talented sportsmen.
 
Can I get some reasoning, I apologize that I haven't been keeping up with the thread. I just chose Drog cause he was cheap and can definitely score some goals. Will he just not be getting enough playing time?

He won't get enough playing time and will hardly ever play a full start in PL games.

There are plenty of beater options. Like Bojan for Stoke.

This is why you play on World Class and not Legendary.

I noticed a lot of people in the FPL subreddit also have Bojan. Is he really going to be getting that much playing time at Stoke? I'm just worried about Stoke's attacking threat, havent been keeping up so not sure what changes theyve made over the summer. They seem to rely on long balls a ton.
 
Cola get Football Manager and keep playing as Brizzle, they have some cracking players. Emmanuel Thomas and Baldock are lethal at our level.

Fielding is a great keeper, and Pack/Wagstaff/El-Abd/Freeman are great little players.

He has scored a few times in the preseason for them so I am tempted to add him. Stoke's style has changed to be less long ball oriented since Hughes took over.

He will get lots of playing time just a matter of his own ability and the fact he plays for Stoke.

STOKE.

Alrighty, sounds good then and I'll have an extra million left over. Now whats everyones opinion on what I've got in the midfield and defense?
 
Maybe my fragile mind but Im sure I remember Bojan being a sleeper beast in the old PES Master league, wicked shot.
 
Arsenal can forget Nastasic though, seems like a lot of people want him on Twitter. Rekik is going to PSV so Nastasic is staying.
Arsenal can forget about Nastasic because our clubs really don't like one another. Wenger's had a crack at City at least 2 times during this transfer window.
 
I'm doing the Sun Fantasy league at work.... any suggestions??

I thought about going for Riviere and then swapping Howard out for DDG and then either Evans for Ivanovic but not sure it's worth the gamble on Riviere making an impact this season.
 
I like Vermalen, as long as he is fit (BIG IF), he can also play as a left back which can be questionable. However,

Defender wise, Verm for 15m, Garay for 12m seem very low.

Also why is Nastasic on the transfer wire, he is fantastic imo.

Garay was actually only 6 million euros.
 
Reports in spain that Barca are now interested in Cuadrado

Quite the licking they are giving us
 
We probably tossed them money under the table to keep the official number low for FFP purposes. #BasedGazprom

Ah, makes sense. Have you seen anything in Russian media tonight about Javi Garcia? Apparently he flew to Malaga today for some reason, people saw him at the airport.
