Decided to start making some of these for people in need of ideas :3

This squad will have the 4-4-1-1 formation.

--------------------------------------------------Falcao---------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------Muriel----------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------David Villa---------------Pirlo-----------------Guarin-----------Jesus Navas------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------Monreal----------------Barzagil--------------Ogbonna----------Juanfran---------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------Marchetti------------------------------------------

GK: Marchetti - 1.5k - I've always went for this guy. He's the best you'll get in the Seria A, unless you want to splash out 50k+ for Buffon. Marchetti reminds me of Joe Hart in how reliable he is at times, yet how easy he can let shots in when 1v1. Still, you'll be safe and secure with him in goals.

LB: Monreal - 1k
Mainly in the team to create Karma with Villa in LM, however, he still has 81 pace, and can hold his own when he needs to.

CB: Barzagil - 5k
85 defense makes him a pain to get past, however, his slow pace makes him vulnerable to the more pacey strikers around. Both CB's make for a good chemistry linkup with the GK. Barzagil's similar to Terry/Puyol, you know the type.

Ogbonna - 1.5k
This guy's one of the best CB's i've ever used! He's scored 3 goals in 9 games (mainly from heading), which is quite good for a defender. He's got 81 defense and a really impressive 80 pace. He'll easily stop those pacey strikers!

RB: Juanfran - 1k
In the team for the same reason as Monreal, to create Chemistry with the RM. However, 85 pace and 80 dribbling make him a pretty good addition. He's also scored a goal for me running from my own box after a corner, it was great.

LM: David Villa - 10k
With a shot of 87 and dribbling of 85, Villa is the perfect player to dribble himself into a shooting position, and fire away. His pace isn't too bad, but don't expect to outrun defenders.

CM: Pirlo - 15k
Was pretty wary about buying him for so much. 61 pace isn't really what you'd expect in someone costing this much. But, the 92 passing made me give him a shot. He really is worth it! Some of his passes to put players through are just magical, plus 86 dribbling is never bad.. (i'd leave him out if you are just short of 80k however)

Guarin - 2k
Bought so Muriel could have some better chemistry as a CF, and for his shooting ability. None of his stats stand out, but he has incredible long shots! And amazing FK stats.

RM: Jesus Navas - 6.5k
Not really a goalscorer, but 92 pace and 86 dribbling makes him a great player to sprint down the wing and get into the box.

CF: Muriel - 1k
Well, how to i sell him to you guys. 91 pace and 87 dribbling, but he's so much more than that. His finishing is nearly as good as Falcao. He's just incredible. Currently at 11 goals in 9 games. I've had him in a few different teams, and he always has more goals than games played.

ST: Falcao - 36k
In my opinion, the best affordable striker in the game. His finishing is incredible. 1v1? You've already scored. His pace isn't that great, so don't be trying to out run everyone, but he's great to move with and if you're skilled enough, can get you into some great positions. Also has nice long shots! His heading statistics are incredible, surely the best in the game, but he never scored headed goals with me.. maybe that's just me though.


Specific Strengths

Great long shot takers.
Pirlo/Villa/Guarin all incredible at free kicks.
100% chemistry, and each player has 9 chemistry.
Muriel/Falcao rarely miss a shot.

Specific Weakness

Pace manipulating teams can be a real bother.
*thinking of more*


Individual changes

Villa at LM can be changed for Pedro.
Jesus Navas at RM can be changed for Sanchez.
I'd go for a Italian/Spanish manager. I personally have Di Matteo.
Go for Buffon if you can afford him.
Sneijder is great! You could have him instead of Guarin, if you're willing to hurt Muriels Chemistry.

Try swapping the Italians and the Spanish around! Put Falcao in CF and Muriel in ST. See what you can whip up!
