Although I have just invested in Kinect - I will be there mate.

I am enjoying the central midfield role more than the pressure of being a striker - suprisingly? I don't quite feel the same guilt when missing chances in career mode as compared to DFFC. I can feel the collective groans from you guys when 'another' header just shaves the outside of the post

I honestly believe I get in more scoring positions than most due to my intelligent runs - but my finishing is a little off compared to those who have replaced me up front

[mr_fuse]

Im in mate willing to play up front, mid or any if required, My goal scoring has improved currently 2nd in the club to Danny.

i'll be on but i'll only be able to stay till around half 10 due to being in early at uni tommorow

[Fearless]

last night them little fuckers
lost in the final and they pm u r shit? so i reply and your a dickhead, it continued, necky bastards
we battered them with every stat yet they get 3 over the top through balls, so annoying

Question - Do you guys get like a seconds worth of lag whenever you use the right thumbstick? do you do it early to compensate for it? why does clubs feel so unlike a ranked game? i try to do a skill move and my player just stands there? yet other teams always seem to play without any lag or problems

here is the profile for the mouthy little fucker http://live.xbox.com/en-GB/MyXbox/Pr...=iEleKTroNiiKz

Swiggy i am bored?

I think the change to England fucked us up that game. I don't know why but the defence just seemed shit and too high up!

The only effective time you can really use the right stick is if you're facing the defender. If you move the right stick 90 degrees to where you're facing you will get that delay and near enough every time you will lose the ball. The only skill move i really use which isn't too often is the one where you step over the ball and cut inside (LT - Forward then Up or Down). Works well on the wings.

Also if i'm playing All I find it alot more effective if I have my Pro further up field, on the wings or up front. The randoms in defence do a decent job and you get the advantage of your pro attacking. Obviously this depends on how many players we have on. But it worked well last night and usually works well when theres just 2 or 3 of us playing.

[Fearless]

we need to get the lobbed through ball down also danny, my pro will leave any defender for dead, but we wasnt doing them at all? unlike the other teams who was scoring from every single one.

im googling round now for tips and hacks

[dannyboy]

I don't know why but i dont think it works too well for us. We tried too many high through balls last night, and not too many came off. It is only really effective if the other team are defending on the half way line. I think we need to play to feet more but when we're running towards their goal and we have 1 defender and 1 of our strikers in front we need to play a through ball along the floor instead of a ball over the top, alot of the time we just try a high through ball when the striker has no chance of getting it. Im guilty of all of this too so don't shoot me lol

[Fearless]

I will agree to disagree, we never tried any dinked through balls when you was any, or the lb and hold y till it sends it, it was all to the wings in my opinion.

as far as a i know any club team plays the same formation? so being England is bolloxs imo, but i could be wrong

[dannyboy]

It may just have been the colours lol But it really did feel different and the defenders seemed much further forward, but maybe you're right lol

The wing play did seem effective, we were winning...mostly I didn't try any when I was All i admit, probably because the random players are normally shit at em lol We'll give it a go though, although if i'm upfront i dont think its effective. Saying that your pro is stronger so it may work well when you're up there.

Found a killer formation (dont think we can use in clubs though?)

I agree with Danny the only reason the lobbed through balls work against us is that our defence is too far up the pitch when we switched to England it was suicide for some reason the defenders were almost on the halfway line.

If you defend deep then the lobbed through ball is ineffective because theirs no room for our players to run into.

Is their an option to make defenders sit back? or should we play with a sweeper?

Also when playing midfield i usually lay off the through ball because its not that accurate and gives the defender the advantage unless you are in loads of space.

[Red Phoenix]

I don't see why not fearless, simply create the formation on your pc. Start the game, and then pause soon after and change it to the formation you want

[swiggy]

Swiggy i am bored?

im just bored because i've been playing positions for around a month now that i don't enjoy a lot, which fair enough will have to happen some weeks and im happy to play any and such sometimes but i'd also like the chance to be able to play positions like up front or even CAM which i enjoy and haven't done for a while.

you must say so then, we arent psychic, you was late on too, so it would be unfair to ask someone to move.

you can be striker for me on thursday, im thinking of going CDM and using my fancy passes trait to deliver inch perfect through balls
if i get passes of danny ofc

5-3-2 is the formation you mention fuse, and mr phoenix i have no idea what you mean

[Red Phoenix]

sorry fearless I was half asleep. Create the formation for any team in F11, save it, and then when you play club's if you cant pick it from the default lobby then pause soon after the game has started and change it to that 4-4-2 instead

[Fearless]

So what we reckon then 442?

2 centre backs a tad bit further back than rb and lb

staggered midfield like the picture up there ^

Strikers slightly offset instead of flat

Danny you will need to make this killer formation for thursday

It is 6 posts up

[mr_fuse]

Yeah that looks good, Obviously formations mainly affect the random players which is mainly defence and if their already in a good position it will give whoever is playing Any a half chance in defence.

I'mnot sure if this would work but if we all take up midfield and striker positions and we selected defensive or ultra defence in game it would make the back 4 sit deeper and then the rest of us could naturally move to where ever we are needed, just because the back 4 are defensive the rest of the team wouldn't need to be.

At least we could try it for the first half so we could get into the game without being goals down by half time.

I do like the look of that formation though and we should go with that and then if Danny or yourself are Any and think our defenders are wondering to far up the pitch switch to defensive.

Just a reminder for midfield players if our defenders are sitting slightly deeper then obviously their will be more space in front of them so we will have to be mindful of dropping in to make tackles before a defender engages.
