It's taking me a while to get into this. And by "into" this I mean "get good at". Well, not good even. Just competitive really.
I've sacked off my Premier League based FUT team, half in a fit of rage and half down to them being a a complete set of fucking talentless cunts (OK, so maybe completely in a fit of rage) in favour of a Serie A team. I think I can build something better. You seem to be able to get more for less, their prices don't seem as over-inflated as Premier League players do. Obviously anybody legitimately world class still costs a silly amount of coins, but your high 70s/low 80s lot seem way more affordable.
Pace definitely doesn't seem to be the huge deal that it was last time around. So I'm trying to develop a bit of a passing team that can go through the middle instead. This is also down to the fact I used to like to play down the wing and stick a big man in the box, but I'm having nowhere near as much joy crossing the ball this time around.
Defending is maybe a little bit better, but I'm still prone to fairly regular instances of the back four looking like they belong in a Benny Hill sketch. This is very possibly just because I'm shit though.
