    The only expensive defenders i can think of are Wynne and Gonzalez, so i imagine you have one of those two at CB, which is ridiculous! Steven Taylor's probably necessary, most of the defenders in the league are rubbish at tackling, my two CB's are only useful because they're (relatively) fast. Have you got any of the MLS in forms?

    My current line up (not necessarily best, but I like promoting youth)

    Landreau
    Beria Chedjou Vertonghen Digne
    Pedretti Mavuba
    Payet - - Hazard - - Obraniak
    Jelen​

    Vertonghen isnt mine yet, but signing in January and Basa's injured anyway. Very surprised with how well Rozenhal's played though. Digne is from the academy, has a lot of potential. What's yours?

    I've got Rafael Marquez, he's surprisingly good. No in forms though, I never have much luck with packs so can never afford them.

    He's a bit too slow for me, i make loads of defensive errors so need fast ish centre backs <laugh> Same here. I've opened at least 20 gold packs and the best i've got is Arshavin!

    I do get caught quite a bit on the counter attack because of how high up I play, but Beckham's distribution to Henry/Donovan makes up for it and I'm sure most of my games have 5 or more goals in them now <laugh>

    Not bad <ok>

    Landreau
    Beria - Chedjou - Rozenhal - Debuchy
    Mavuba
    Pedretti - McEacheran
    Obraniak----------------Hazard
    Giroud​

    Jelen peaked mid way through the first half of the season and didn't score for 5 games. Promoted Giroud to starting 11 and has 23 goals in 20 games for me <ok> McEacheran has been a stand out performer in midfield too, as has Rozenhal in defence!

    Ah, cool. I sometimes play 4-3-3 but Balmont and Pedretti are rarely both available. Is McEachran on loan or did you sign him? I bet he has high potential. I was scouting Giroud but he's playing terribly for Montpellier so I probably wont bother.

    Makes sense for you then. Yeah, I have the option to buy for 10 mil at the end of the season and I think I might do it! He's been a revelation, regularly gets MOTM for me.

    <laugh> i suppose that's an upside to using an MLS team then; the games are never dull 1-0s!

    I've been thinking about the Fifa stats update due soon, and this is what i would give the Newcastle starting 11.

    Krul - 82
    Santon - 77
    S. Taylor - 79
    Coloccini - 81
    Simpson - 74
    Obertan - 70
    Tiote - 81
    Cabaye - 81
    Jonas - 77
    HBA - 77
    Ba - 82

    Knowing EA though, i fear it'll end up like this

    Krul - 78
    Santon - 74
    S. Taylor - 77
    Coloccini - 79
    Simpson - 75
    Obertan - 71
    Tiote - 78
    Cabaye - 79
    Jonas - 78
    HBA - 79
    Ba - 79

    They won't put many ratings up, and they'll drop a few in my opinion, despite the good season you're having.

    I don't think they'll drop cabaye or santon and I disagree with you about dropping HBA and Simpson (every seems to hate him even though he's had a decent season)

    I've dropped HBA because he hasn't played enough games, and i dropped Simpson because he is crap. Caught out of position too often, not much of an attacking threat either.

    Funnily enough, I will completely counter that and say during the Blackburn game, Simpson was excellent on the flank and was brilliant getting up field which was due to Ben Arfa playing so well on the wing.

    It's hard to do much attack wise when you've usually got a sack of **** like Obertan ahead of you (I give up defending him).

    Amazing game, can't remember any tips other than not losing your horse in the middle of nowhere before you get fast travel...

    Fantastic game, doesn't take long to complete, would be even quicker if there wasnt so much horse riding. I didn't mind that too much though. Cant think of any tips, havent played it for at least a year!

    I'd take your time to enjoy it.
    There isn't much to do once you complete bar little side missions and pissing about in free roam.

    On a slightly related note, does anyone fecking hate it when people skip the cut-scenes on games, even if they've never played them before?
