holy shit. Dat Zaha. Pure rape goal. Pretty impressive that he has tried so hard to leave a good memory of him in the hearts of the Palace fans before moving to United. I will be seriously impressed if he manages to break the first squad on a regular basis though however.

I wonder what Palace will do if they make it to the PL. It seems like their strategy is to just dump the ball to Zaha/Bolasie and good things will happen. That won't work in the PL, especially since they won't have Zaha xD

Norwich beat Chelsea 3-2 at the Bridge, 4-2 on aggregate. OTBC!

Yeah well Bolasie has the ball control and finishing ability of a bewildered ferret so I wouldn't pin my premier league hopes on him. But they are a club with a little more pedigree than a Reading and I think they will be able to put in a good effort to stay up. Though yeah not really many playmakers in the squad. They will probably try and pull a Norwich using Glen Murray as their Grant Holt and bring in some new faces.

So, uh, I'm trying to get my feet wet in fifa, should I play with manual aiming for shots/passes etc?
And wtf how do people do these crazy dribbles I see in youtube?


I never use manual for shots or passes, too much hassle for passes and it doesn't really help for shots. Dribbles are easy, just learn a few and then expand, it's all down to practice and repeating attempts. What's really important in dribbling, much more than specific skills, is learning how to control the ball with LT, and use RT and flicking the right analog stick to change pace. You also need to play defence and control your players tactically by using L bumper, using LT all the time to change direction. Once you have that you can pretty much get to division 1 without any other skills.

If you want something to start off with skill wise, I recommend getting used to holding LT, then holding shoot but immediately pressing pass afterwards. It does a set of skill moves depending on the direction you hold and the star skill of your player. If you do that while running forward and hold forward, any player with 3 or more stars will do this really useful 'lagging dribble' type thing, which bamboozles a lot of players.


Ok, will do that.
How come the AI obliterates me but in my first online game I almost got a 3-3, lost 2-4 in the end, lol.
As a matter of fact I haven't scored against the AI even once, lol. Was so happy with my first goal.


The AI cheats :p, theres a few instances where you can abuse it .. because its AI but getting the ball of it is quite miserable.

That's bullshit. Say what you want about Mancini, but he won them their first trophies in decades. He's a hero at that club and deserves better than this.

I just don't think Mancini is the guy to lead them to glory. He was abysmal in europe just like with Inter and even though he's won the league once you can't say he has overperformed. This year he's been pretty awful tactically and his squad selection and subs have just been really confusing. 3 years is a decent tenure these days so I don't think you can act like he's too hard done by. I think he's just a really overrated manager.

I really think with a few decent signings instead of the utter shit they came up with last year City will be a much stronger team whoever they hire out of the potential candidates (maybe not Rafa)

Next season will be really exciting

Oh come on even Bokito the gorilla would've won the league with that kind of budget.

I'm inclined to agree with you. Mancini is really not a great leader, not a particularly accomplished strategist, and a terrible man manager. Don't know how much influence he had in team building but I think the Sinclair and Rodwell buys were poor business. Maicon's injury has been unfortunate, as has Richards'. There are probably a dozen English managers who could do a better job but who would not have the mystique of a 'foreigner'.

Jeez, doesn't that sound like another Italian manager who was sacked earlier in the season?

So if/when Manchester City goes to the crapper next season who do the owners fire then? Themselves?

Such an epic finish but wtf was Leicester doing -___-? They were ahead on away goal rule, yeah? Why did they have five guys around the box watching the penalty?

They should've parked the bus at the back in case he did miss instead of conceding the eventual counter attack in open play. So much fail but epic nonetheless.


there's no away goal in the championship playoffs.

Bayern just bought Götze for 37M as an addition to their already formidable offense, that's the player Pep wanted.

Furthermore, I doubt they would be willing to pay such insane amounts of money for a player who has not proven himself at the highest level.

Lol back in my day of FIFA when tournaments just began to get going, there was a FLASH like god of FIFA..His name was ChrissyB, i remember my first online FIFA tournament in 2008, i entered and thought i'll try my luck at this. Group stage draw i had ChrissyB in my group...dayummm He beat me over 2 legs 8-1 >.<
Was not very fun, but he was the best for about 3-4 years, winning EVERYTHING. PC Xbox and PS3 and dominating the scene all over the world, he made a fortune. But now FIFA is wide open, ChrissyB didn't even qualify for the tournament in LasVegas earlier this year nor did he qualify for the FIWC. He did tweet after the EA event in Vegas that he was going to try harder and get back to his best but who knows


Reports are that Dortmund officials where at Villa Park on Saturday watching Aston Villa's Benteke play vs Chelsea...possible replacement for Lewandowski?

Yeah, and even without Götze, Neymar is the perfect example of what kind of player Pep hates... No tactical skill (but that can be improved), lack of seriousness (I doubt this can be improved so much), and just not a teamplayer in general (see Neymar ignoring his teammates on youtube...).

I would really love to see Madrid acquire Neymar, as I think it would be the perfect player to play against, for Barcelona, and I don't believe he's going to help Madrid get back on their feet. Plus it would upset Rosell, so that's just perfect. We just need Laporta showing up for the next elections and the guy is done.

I think the main transfer news for Dortmund is that they signed Kevin de Bruyne to replace Götze Nice move if it's true.

Won't miss Mancini

Speaks such shit during his interviews, not even the good shit Mouriniho would give.

I'm surprised they didn't sack him after he won the premier league in the last 5 seconds of the season after being given an unlimited budget

@GTR the circumstances surrounding RDM and Mancini are incredibly different if that's who you was implying
