Has there ever been a good picture of Messi? He is pretty much goofy looking no matter what angle. Also, why even play this garbage ass game when Football Manager exists?

And ultimate team

what's the best team you built this year?

I built an all Arsenal team

Then built me the ultimate EPL squad and got bored of owning.

Football Manager is a great game, but sometimes you actually want to control the players, not just manage tactics.

I built an all Arsenal team

Then built me the ultimate EPL squad and got bored of owning.

A La Liga squad like a few weeks ago.


I had an 85 Premier squad but got boring so I made a weaker premier league squad that uses 442. Taarabt, Chamakh, Henry, Cabaye, Ben Arfa, Taiwo, Barton...mostly QPR players.

Also have a Uruguay squad.

Looking forward to fifa 13 ultimate team. This year was the 1st year I tried it out. I'm hoping to land good players by early next year and sell em off early. Everything crashes after January.

It's sad to look at what I paid for Toure, Aguero, Bale, Modric compare to what they are now.
