At the moment the only thing I'm after is United players, I got back after a shite day at work, and sold Fabio for 750. Not bad but there's nothing on the market now.

I might try and buy a lot of gold contracts... then sell them once the game comes out

BTW - Ended today with Rafael and Anderson and 200 coins. Put them both on the trade market for 400 more than I paid for them. Should be ok to get Fabio as well.

End of day:

Fabio - Got (On Sale for 900/1,200 buy it now)
Anderson (1,400/1500)

775 coins.

My daily gift was shit. A mini silver pack with a player whose absolutely woeful

On the plus side, Fabio has just had a 900 coin bid.

With this I'm turning off my computer!

The only cool thing I got in my mini silver pack was the Orlando Pirates badge....people pay massive amounts of coins for skull & crossbones badges.

The rest sucked save for the silver contract.

IGN just gave the game 9.5/10:

Hopefully now that it leaked online Gamestop will give me my preorder since the street date got broken.

I'm wary about how tactical Defending will end up in the final version. Defending seems to be all about containment rather than endlessly pressuring players off the ball this time around...and passing is even trickier than 11. I was playing on professional and was able to adapt to slowly pushing forward to take shots, but the AI is ultra defensive and possession-focused. It doesn't simply push forward now but take's its sweet time to let you break your formation on the counterattack to burn you badly.

It's more a hang-back-and-wait-for-an-opening approach to take on the attacker this time.

No idea yet, they were nice last year and I used a few of their players on Ultimate Team but preferred FC Porto. Hulk was just a beast in that game.

Losing DiMaria to Real was a blow though, he's an awesome midfielder whenever I use RM.

Skimming through the UT ratings here's some of Benfica's guys:

CB Garay 78
RM Perez 76
CAM Bruno Cesar 77
RM Ruben Amorim 76
CB Luisao 82
RM Gaitan 80
CDM Javi Garcia 80
GK Artur Moraes 78
CAM Aimar 83
ST Cardozo 81
LM Cesar Pexioto 71
CAM Witsel 76
ST Saviola 81
LB Capdevilla 79

Looks like they'd add up to a 4.5 star team IMO. Cardozo and Garay have shit paces though at around 50 each making them slow as hell on the field. Luisao is 37 lol

Saviola's your fastest with 86 pace. Most of your mids and forwards seem to have decent shooting stats in the 70's...some aren't very good for headers though. Cardozo with his pace of 42 seems your best striker at an 85 shooting score.

About the speed, it's kinda funny since Berbatov in comparison has a pace score of 68. Reinforces my belief that Chicarito is superior to him in this game.

thats very up to date dude :-D

Owen Hargreaves for Man City is rated 80 in UT. How many games did they monitor to determine that rating :lol:

My big sellers:
Felipe Santana from Bay. Dortmund for 1800 opening bid
Fabio: 1000 opening bid

The rest of my gold who are nobodies are going for 350 opening bid, bronze for 150 and silvers for 250 opening bid. No one wants them lol

I also knocked back my 2 silver contracts into consumables to sell when the game goes live with my 3 bronze and 2 gold.
