Got bored on Fifa make a sh*tfest team of African & Asian players - Surprisingly annoying

---------Enyeama
Aurier -- Matip -- Bailly -- Rahman
Mahrez - Kouyate -- Wanyama -- HM Son
----------Slimani ---Iheanacho

It's hard to find decent players that aren't expensive like Aubameyang & Yaya

I'd take an increase to £12m tbh. All part of the ongoing improvements!

Be interesting if Aubameyang moves to China. At what point will the Chinese league need to be taken more seriously.

by Fernando Thu 05 Jan 2017, 3:02 pm

Just have to look at some of the players heading out there...

Witsel/Alex Texeira/Bobblehead/Tevez/Oscar/Pelle/Hulk/Martinez/Lavezzi/Ramires etc

I think it's a europa league standard atm but if keeps going on could be very successful if branch out for more then South American's

by **Afro** Thu 05 Jan 2017, 3:04 pm

I could be having a dumb moment, but who is Bobblehead?

by Fernando Thu 05 Jan 2017, 3:22 pm

by **Afro** Thu 05 Jan 2017, 3:32 pm

Showing my age.

You said Bobblehead and I instantly thought of...

Didn't think it likely he was off to China

by Fernando Thu 05 Jan 2017, 11:53 pm

im not going to get tactics in sorry .

by **Afro** Fri 06 Jan 2017, 6:23 am

We haven't heard from Nads either.

I will do mine but it may be worth pushing back a few days, and make the deadline early next week?

by BamBam Fri 06 Jan 2017, 9:31 am

Happy to push back to next week or get mine in today

by Trebs Fri 06 Jan 2017, 9:54 am

Put new deadline at Monday lunchtime perhaps?

by Fernando Fri 06 Jan 2017, 9:58 am

i can do monday cs work today/tomoz

I'm happy with that, but lets check that works for Miky too as he is man who has to turn them around this week.

by nadeem2099 Fri 06 Jan 2017, 12:36 pm

Monday sounds fine. At least I'll be able to sign another keeper to play as Lafont is injured.

by Holymiky Fri 06 Jan 2017, 1:22 pm

Monday is fine by me.

by **Hero** Fri 06 Jan 2017, 3:02 pm

How's this team looking that I've made for a league over on Ja?

Buffon

New RB - Bonucci - Romagnoli - Alex Sandro

Verratti - Kessie

Gabriel Jesus - Dele Alli - Bernardeschi

Belotti

by BamBam Fri 06 Jan 2017, 3:43 pm

Traitor!

Looks good though, Jesus is the unknown

by Holymiky Fri 06 Jan 2017, 3:45 pm

Verratti <3

by **Afro** Fri 06 Jan 2017, 3:50 pm

Jesus still needs to prove himself and I am not quite as convinced by Romagnoli as Nadz was.

But great looking team, and love the Alli, Bernardeschi and Belotti combo (especially the last two Whistle

)

Assuming Kessie keeps it up, him and Verratti looks like a potentially immense pairing too.

by **Hero** Fri 06 Jan 2017, 3:57 pm

What I've gone for is a forward four that are all hard working so that they pressurise to gain the ball back early, a CB pairing that's solid and allows the FBs to go forward and a complimentary midfield duo hopefully.

by **Hero** Fri 06 Jan 2017, 4:00 pm

I know Jesus still has to prove it but he's now at City and I fully expect him to live up to the hype as he's a very hard working Brazilian so shouldn't fall into the same traps so many Samba playboys have in the past in the Premier League.
EA believe the hype on him too, highest career rating of any teenager on FIFA 17.

by **Afro** Fri 06 Jan 2017, 4:14 pm

To be honest, winning the South American awards he did in the last 12 months, against much harder opposition than in the past (Davinson Sanchez for example!), I am expecting great things from him.

It'll be cultural rather than ability I suspect.

You also need a new RB Whistle

by **Afro** Fri 06 Jan 2017, 4:18 pm

Another of my old finds looking like making a big money move soon.

I bought Manolos when he was at AEK for something like £800k, before he went to Olympiakos.

Admittedly his ratings were crap and I sold him relatively soon after, but now being linked to United and Everton for £32.5m

by **Hero** Fri 06 Jan 2017, 5:27 pm

Thinking Danilo as RB?

by **Afro** Fri 06 Jan 2017, 5:32 pm

How much are you looking to spend?

The world isn't awash with world class RBs these days although plenty of good ones.

by **Hero** Fri 06 Jan 2017, 6:20 pm

Will have a fair bit of cash after releases, Bellerin is already gone and wanting an attack minded RB to compliment Sandro on the other side.

by **Afro** Fri 06 Jan 2017, 6:49 pm

Sergi Roberto?

by **Hero** Fri 06 Jan 2017, 7:46 pm

Hmm good shout, costly but well worth it.

by Holymiky Fri 06 Jan 2017, 8:05 pm

Vrsaljko would be my pick for right back!

by **Afro** Fri 06 Jan 2017, 8:52 pm

For what Hero is after, is go Bellerin, Cancelo, Hysaj or Sergi Roberto.

Or Seamus.

by **Hero** Fri 06 Jan 2017, 9:25 pm

Hysaj was nabbed as well already as I'd have had him being one of my old boys.

by Trebs Fri 06 Jan 2017, 11:07 pm

I reckon Dani Alves

by **Afro** Sat 07 Jan 2017, 10:13 am

I reckon Dani Alves will be done now. That injury looks a bad one and think he will struggle to get up and down like he did.

Take that from his game what else does he offer?

by Trebs Sat 07 Jan 2017, 10:52 am

I never rated Dani Alves as highly as others did. But from what I understand he was impressive for Juve before his injury and I do think he will come back from it.

by Holymiky Sat 07 Jan 2017, 10:55 am

He's always been slated a bit in these leagues, well i think people appreciated him going forward more than defensively.

by **Afro** Sat 07 Jan 2017, 10:56 am

He was playing really well so it was a shame he got injured.

But he was a winger playing at full back really for Barca.

Was a bad. Real though

by Holymiky Mon 09 Jan 2017, 9:23 am

Only had tactics from Afro so far.

by nadeem2099 Mon 09 Jan 2017, 9:53 am

Tactics sent

by Holymiky Mon 09 Jan 2017, 9:54 am

Got 3 sets now

by nadeem2099 Mon 09 Jan 2017, 10:43 am

I've sent you an updated set of tactics miky as I forgot Phillips was injured.

by nadeem2099 Mon 09 Jan 2017, 10:53 am

Who would be the perfect partner to partner with Weigl? A defence minded DM or a b2b mid?

by **Hero** Mon 09 Jan 2017, 11:27 am

I'd go B2B, someone like Kessie Wink

by **Afro** Mon 09 Jan 2017, 11:50 am

He'd work well with my man Bakayoko, so feel free to sell him to Burnley Whistle

by nadeem2099 Mon 09 Jan 2017, 1:03 pm

Seeing as Serie A git updated last week on transfermarkt, when will the other leagues also get updates?

by **Afro** Mon 09 Jan 2017, 1:46 pm

Its really difficult to predict.

by Fernando Mon 09 Jan 2017, 2:01 pm

Usually over the next month or so Smile

What they do, is wait and see when you have accepted a lawyers offer and then increase their price the week after.

That's specifically you and not a general you Ok!

by Trebs Mon 09 Jan 2017, 2:29 pm

I know that they are aware of these games.. I wonder if they're always watching us....

by **Afro** Mon 09 Jan 2017, 2:32 pm

I can't believe they'd look anywhere else to find the real experts of the beautiful game.

Similarly, Hero and Outside of the Boot are in a loop where they both use each others webpages as the bible of up and coming players

by nadeem2099 Mon 09 Jan 2017, 2:39 pm

I don't know whether to sell Asensio or not. I got my eye on a perfect partner for Weigl but I'll have to sell him though Sad

by **Afro** Mon 09 Jan 2017, 2:45 pm

I'm similar with Belotti.

My golden rule says sell him as he's had an increase and its a +5% lawyer so I can keep building value.

Problem is my head says the players I can get in to replace him, or any in the price bracket immediately higher, aren't at his standard

by Fernando Mon 09 Jan 2017, 2:50 pm

Plus Torino looking to sell Laugh
