FIFA 09 (The 2nd Online PS3 Tournament)

[Berry]

I've decided who I wanna be....Atletico Madrid! They are available, right?

[Liam]

I'll go with Bayern Munich. Five star team, but sod it, I couldn't really think of anyone else outside of Man City or Villa I'd want to play as, and both of them have been taken. I still think we should have had the teams picked at random from a pool selected by Baddar, say, but guess not.

Bayern are a five star team, but I think I've taken a pretty high percentage of my recent losses playing as them >_>

[Berry]

Anyone up for a game now? Add me (Berry-94) and I'll take you on.

I need to practice with my At. Madrid

[McMigsy]

Seeing as Munich/Inter are gone, I'll stick with Liverpool.

[AJ]

Look! Scientific proof that these teams are all bitches.

One point in it. So we might as well use Barca and ManU =\

[TheRossWalker]

Not Man U, I'm fucking sick of always playing them. :/

[TheRossWalker]

OH FUCK.

NO FUCKING QUARESMA WITH THE UPDATE.

COCK.

I need to figure out a new fucking system.

EDIT: And yes, that was double post-worthy, it's an absolute nightmare, I Quaresma.

[AJ]

Trust me I don't wanna play against Utd but I don't really wanna play (read: be beaten by) Inter, Madrid or Chelsea either.

[Liam]

Wouldn't a good idea, since the random teams idea got thrown out, either be a star cap or a rating cap? Like, no team over 80 or 4 star teams or less?

[TCO]

I'd be in support of a 4 Star Cap, if not for this one, for the next tournament at least.

[Baddar]

I think there's still a few people who haven't claimed their teams. Only then can a draw be made.

[Phatmann]

I'll take West Ham if they're still available.

[TheArsenal]

I'm gonna stick with Arsenal. May be my downfall.... but I'll give them another go.

[littlemus]

I've checked through and can't see anyone claiming them, so can I have Milan please?

[TCO]

Yay, another 5 Star team!

Anyhoo, I'd like to relinquish Man City and take Newcastle. I've decided to take to team I know and love rather than the superior Man City.

(If they're available that is)

[Liam]

To me, it kinda becomes a 'when in Rome' situation. If everyone else is going to do it, I guess I'll do it to.

[AJ]

To be fair to littlemus, he's only really making up the numbers. He'd even agree with me saying he's not gonna make any great progress even if he uses Milan.

[TheArsenal]

I thought Milan were one of the no-no teams?

Maybe I'm wrong.

[Baddar]

Milan are fine.

The only non-international teams that seem to have every starting 11 player with super-powers are Barca and United. Granted, there are teams with super players (Drogba, Ibra, Torres etc.) but to be honest, it's not just the 5-star teams who have them. Man City has Robinho, Elano, Johnson and Kompany who are all unstoppable when used right. I'm sure there's a couple more too. I used to like using them online.

I just don't see this 5-star argument as much as others. Yes, they're 5 star, but there's not much difference between a 5 star team and a 4.5/sometimes 4 star team. If I had to choose which team to use out of a 4.5 star Man City or a 5 star Bayern, I'd choose City all day long looking at the player-powers. I'd also choose Spurs (who were 4 star in updates at one stage) and Villa over some of the 5 star teams.

Anyway...

I'll have a check later if there's anyone else who hasn't picked a team to use.

[Liam]

I'd chose Villa over a lot of the 5 star teams just purely due to Agbonlahor and Young, who are so dangerous when used correctly (i.e. through balls and lots of them....not that hard).

Although fuck that, Bayern > Man City Ribery is a bit speed demony, and Toni is dangerous in the air, but yeah, nothing too awesome or OTT really.
