    Are you sure you didnt get promoted? It's supposed to save the result now rather than just give you a defeat.

    Really simple 4,4,2 for me...Santon from the start (he is imense on FIFA) and Best is easily the best finisher in the team so I play him up front with Ben Arfa on RW.

    I only really keep Raylor on for his free-kicks, so then I can have a fresh player in Santon coming on in the second half, he's beast linking up with Jonas on the left.

    Marvs just like a slightly ****tier Ben Arfa.

    I used to play one of those mental 4-3-3's with Newcastle in my attempt to find the best way of using them.

    Krul

    Simpson - Taylor - Colo - Santon

    Cabaye - - - Tiote
    Gutierrez

    Ben Arfa - - Ba - - Marveaux​

    Only bothered with Raylor if I had a free kick in the last ten mins, in which case, on for Simpson.

    thanks for those that took part in the survey i'll be closing it shortly. I got over the desired number of responses so it looks like i've got lots of data to analyse... fun =/

    Anyway thanks all round.

    When i'm using Newcastle i always get paired with Real Madrid for some reason (i have live season so we're 4 1/2 stars...) so i get destroyed every time cos i can't score with Best against Casillas!

    I normally play,

    ------------------------Krul-----------------------
    Raylor---------Saylor----------Colo----------Santon
    ------------------Tiote-----Cabaye-----------------
    Ben Arfa-----------------------------------Gutierrez
    -----------------Best-----------Ba------------------

    Bring on Perch at RB sometimes, Marveaux for Ben Arfa and switch with Guti, and Shola on for Best

    When I am Newcastle I play:

    --------------Krul--------------
    Simpson---Saylor--Colo-----Santon
    -----------------Tiote-------------
    Gutierre----Cabaye------------Marv
    -----------------Ben Arfa----------
    ---------------Ba------------------

    Having Tiote in DM sitting just infront of the defense and behind the midfield is a massive help.

    I do as well. Other 4-star teams can't handle Ben Arfa! Currently in Div 5 although I haven't played in a while.

    Simple 4-4-2 for me.

    Krul
    Simmo-Saylor-Colo-Raylor
    Marv-Tiote-Cabaye-Jonas
    Ba-Ben Arfa​

    Been working well so far.

  14. Best is a 78 for finishing, and Ba is an 83....

    Ba is better finisher on his right foot than Best is with either of his feet, but Best is more two footed.

    Nearly finished my 3rd season with my Stoke mate, won the league with 3 games to spare, he currently 8th with 4 games to go best he can hope for is 7th currently occupied by Arsenal on 59 points to his 57. He did get to the quarters of UEFA cup this year but got hammered by Juve, league cup is his to.

    He is the first out of me and him to win anything, but like I keep reminding him my league title > league cup.

  17. I tell you what. You sometimes don't believe how fast Coloccini is until you see it for yourself.

    Aguero made a run, and Coloccini accelerated and caught up to quite quickly.

    He's got better pace than most people think IMO.

    Does anyone know any low key deals for xbox live?

    I've tried all the usual places (amazon, play, game etc) and the cheapest I can find is £34.99. Anywhere cheaper I should know about before I take the plunge?

    Occasionally on Xbox Live they have deals such as 3 months for 6.99 but its rare, 34.99 is pretty bog standard now.
