    Ok so this is what tne said to do.

    We mostly do that but I don't like playing ultra defensive. Guess we could try it.

    I really liked ram playing at CDM last night. Was doing work and I think it helped us. Problem was we had no middle man and so ram had to play up so much. He might do that anyways but we kinda need him too because he's our main big guy and is a real asset with headers. Him playing box to box would be nice but it's kinda hard for him to always make runs without a middle. Chuck wasn't a bad goalie but he basically does what the computer does so that's kinda whatever. It does suck that we can't hit the y button though. Yandel is a very good passer and should be at mid field right? Wish we had him and Doak in the middle but everyone can't be on all the time. Yandel for example has to get drunk 6 out of the 7 nights so he's not really a good option for an every night thing.

    I would say I would rotate with Ram but i'm not as good at being a defensemen. But then again Ram is as good as Pop and I at scoring.

    Ok so other problems. We need more people that can score but not selfishly shoot [we all do it] and we all have problems. Me first because I have a bunch. I need to learn how to move the ball better. I do an ok job but i'm not as good as pop or ram. I can cross really well but that's just because my guy has insane stats. I'm not as good as the rest of y'all at just overall fifa but my guy helps. That plus the fact that i'm in pro view means I can shoot really well so that's one thing I do well. I also get offsides alot because of defense + my view. We do need help at the top though. Pop isn't as good at finishing anymore because he changed his guy. And just saying you like that one shot too much. It works a lot but also misses a lot. Just saying and not trying to be an asshole about it. I miss a lot too and you probably have a better percentage than me. Just saying you don't curve it as well because of your guy. He's our best dribbler though or at least up there so that's cool. Great passer too and when him and I are the only two one we never lose. But when we have more on it's a problem because we can't play like that. We need to work on a bunch of things because we should not be losing this much. We have someone that can play striker so one of us needs to move back or we need to rearrange our formation.

    What do y'all think?

    Goat formation would be

    FTIAGTP* UA
    Pop
    Doak Yandel

    CPU Ram CPUPJ CPU

    *Friend that I am getting to play

    Probably true but last night we had 0 offense except for me. It was me, a guy who hasn't been playing with us very long and then ram playing back. It kinda worked out but at the same time as you just said it doesn't.

    if you only have three people then your only hope is to play a 5-2-1-2 or 5-2-2-1 and play with the three most attacking players and just hope to outscore everyone

    That's our normal plan but we were trying to switch it up. Only 22 games above .500 so we were trying to generate more wins.

    That's all we ask of the people in the club. Screw up, run the ball out of bounds, take terrible shots, etc that's all fine, but you better have some damn heart.

    Oddly enough Popovio, UA, Ramrod, and Doak had expressed interest in doing something like this the night before you started the thread. I would assume they would all be up for it.

    Guys, I'm in a bit of a lover's quarrel with Blake right now... Did he have anything nice to say about me last night? He claims he did, but if he's lying it will be the end of our relationship.

    Been busy at hell, I'm back in Pittsburgh for some boozing this weekend, I'll be home tomorrow but will probably just sleep as I leave pittsburgh at 5 am on the train get back to DC late and go right to my 5:30 class.

    On a side note I was thrown out of the Hofbrauhaus last night because I picked up a chair and threw it while yelling at the accordion player to play freebird "you kraut fuck"

    Man I'm so clutch

    http://www.ea.com/uk/football/videos/ugc/68325675

    Didn't show the play, but it was basically a clusterfuck in the box, but this is what it looks like when you have ice water in your veins. 90 minute save.

    And this is what it's like to play in a pro ranked match. We tied 1-1 btw because this guy couldn't finish

    http://www.ea.com/uk/football/videos/ugc/68326064

    Looked so much worse in the beginning when the GK was way outside and he had an open net. He decides to drive in in a zig zag formation and then tries to pass.

    Found the best way to practice my keeper.

    Southend United vs Arsenal

    Move everyone to attacking so basically it's just a barrage of shots at me all day. Haven't had a shut out yet though. Virtually impossible with the way I have things set up. 1-0 games all day.

    God damnit. Had a 9.8 rating going into the 90th minute. Blocked two shots and then after the second block it lands right at the feet of RVP and i'm out of position. 14 fucking saves and I just couldn't make a 15th. As soon as my team kicked the ball off the game ended.

    Enjoyed playing with all y'all tonight. Sorry for being just awful for most of the time. And the lagging and the mic. If I get some more money i'm gonna buy a new controller. Know it's annoying for y'all.

    Good times though.
