marty78 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Against my better judgement I am going to try and make Ballotelli work in the side. FM treats him harshly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babaginoosh Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 So...... anyone want to take on Holland in a friendly? Team is plagued by injuries, van Bommel, Robben, VDV, van der Wiel all down Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ri916 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 So do we just choose our tactic now, and not the squad? Also, I'm a bit confised about Germany and those 'issues we cant discuss here'..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marty78 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Struggling between choosing the best players in game vs the ones who have actually done well in tournament. Namely Ballotelli and Cassano. May have to leave Ballotelli out as his match ratings for Man City were poor and he was shipped on loan to FC Porto and because of his personality would perhaps be more of a hindrance than an asset unfortunately. I usually use shouts/tactical changes depending on how things are going so really not sure how I'm going to set up my tactic as of yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

5ergio Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I am also looking for friendlies for Portugal if anyone is up for it. The latest date you can ask for a friendly is 2th June as I'd like to have my team rest the last 10 days. My tactic should be up in the day after I have seen how they adapt.

Babaginoosh Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I really have no clue how to play Holland, they look tremendous offensively but so dreadful defensively except for the GK. This is going to be a challenge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nastymiller Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 So, let me get this right - we now need to send you a list of the players we want in our finals squad, along with tactics. Just remind me how many players need picking for the squad in total, and 3 of these need to be keepers right. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers. You need to send Stothy your tactic first so he can use team blend and then when team registration is required he will upload a new save so we know who is available. We have until 00:01 on Sunday to submit our tactics or defaults will be used. He explains at the bottom of the teams lists post. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

marty78 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 After I sent my tactic I ran with Italy through the Euro's and got to the final (holidaying games) where I was hammered 4-0 by France. I am playing Ballotelli regardless of his attitude though and he missed 3 CCC in the final. Don't worry though Mario, I will keep the faith.
