Keeper crisis?

[Kojo 4,676]

Turnbull is shite, i prefer Hilario but even he is mistake prone. Maybe we do need a good backup.

[Jase 43,479]

Nevermind successors, we need a second choice and we need one now, as a stop-gap until TC is ready to step up to the plate. Someone with experience and quality. Jussi Jaaskelainen is out of contract in the summer, he'd be a perfect back-up.

David James or Robert Green are available.

The FIFA ratings are a joke in relation to our ratings. I wasn't kidding when I said there are people at EA who don't like us. It's pretty obvious. Ramires is still rated 79, Cahill is rated 79, Luiz 80, Mikel 81, Romeu frickin 71 and even though he's form has dipped recently Sturridge is better than 80! The EA people need to actually watch our games.

I would have it like this

Cech- 87

Ivanovic- 84 (as a RB)

Terry-85

Luiz- 83

Cahill- 83

Cole- 86

Essien- 81

Mikel- 82

Ramires- 83

Lampard- 84

Meireles- 82

Malouda- 82

Kalou- 80

Torres- 84

Drogba- 85

Mata- 87

Sturridge- 82 ( as a RW, as a ST 83)

Bertand- 75

Anyway sorry to go off Topic

Expect that in fifa 13. EA dont give fuck about anything, once the game is released. But they make next one more real. That stats were pretty real at start of the season.

lol Ramires 88? I agree with my ratings

[capriccioso 2,545]

You've vastly overrated the likes of Malouda and Essien though.

I didn't finish, here's the final four ratings

Hilario 73

Turnbull 47

Blackman 60

Courtouis 81

Hilario 73

Turnbull 47

Essien is still decent enough to be 81. Malouda can be useful for other clubs, so he's 82. Maybe 81 if I'm being harsh

[capriccioso 2,545]

Essien shouldn't even be in the 70s. For his position, if I am correct, his overall is calculated as an average of his:

Stamina (65)

Short Passing (84)

Long Passing (65)

Tackling (65)

Acceleration (68)

Strength (73)

Which averages out to 70.

Essien will definitely be around the 80 overall mark so we just accept that now. Plus why for you put Ivanovic as only 81? So you're saying he's gotten worse?

[capriccioso 2,545]

He's slow. That has an impact on his FIFA rating. And that's why I loathe FIFA and it's ratings, they're just so based on reputation which is why we'll probably be seeing an 88 Torres or an 85 Essien next year.

Cap, I think you're underestimating FIFA's rating system. They have actually gotten really realistic with the ratings. Ivanovic is 83 (I think) in FIFA 12. He's had a fantastic season so I think we'll see his rating stay the same or go up a bit. Torres is 84. He'll probably stay there. Essien will definitely go down.

The FIFA ratings system isn't as good as Football Manager's but they can be hardly compared seeing as they are different games.

Exactly.
