I do hope I will win the award for best own goal with this:
I received the ball under pressure and had to get rid, so I hold DOWN (which somehow means right according to FIFA now) and it goes right to the keeper, which would be fine. He wasn't under pressure, control and clear.
But no, the ball comes chest height ish and the bastard DUCKS OUT OF THE WAY!!!
We were all flabbergasted

) with a 4-1 win in our last game was extra sweet as we beat an extremely angry bunch of Scotsmen hmmm

Good work guys getting promoted to Division 4 (again) but I'm just putting out there, and my friend said so too while sitting beside me. We have no plan attacking, we're not possessive in the slightest, and even desperate sometimes to get forward, that we lose the ball even more.
We might switch the play in a high pressure situation to reduce pressure on the ball once or twice a night, we never pass the ball back to a defender or DJ to reduce pressure, change the point of attack, and most importantly, keep possession. This is FIFA, most decent teams aim to break open the central area and try to take a shot. This is the most effective way to score in FIFA, winging and crossing is so underpowered, it shouldn't be the only thing we ever strive to do. We should also make adjustments to our positioning defensively to make sure our opponents really can't get into the golden area. We don't need 2 strikers, the extra man would be more useful for us in midfield, best as another person taking up the second CDM spot alongside DJ in a 4-2-3-1. 2 strikers doesn't really benefit us much in Pro Clubs as they don't give each other 1-2 passes, and having an extra midfielder would make possessive football easier to play, give us extra firepower and act as another outfield defender when we don't have the ball.
Too bad we won't do anything because Ellis is always right and will just make fun of me again.

Peter I gotta be honest you really are becoming quite boring now
You have been asked nicely to quit mentioning names and you continue to do so for someone who waffles on about not being listened to maybe you should look a little closer to home sir. Now with the greatest respect wind ya neck in and get on with it your connection barely lasts more than a game anyway so you need not suffer a ploppy system for too long.

I don't exactly like being ignored completely, and being made the butt of the joke, Sureshot. I suggest something, it gets ignored, I complain, I look like an idiot and then everyone says "Good suggestions Peter, but it's all fun and games." and nothing happens, and the cycle continues, until me making a suggestion becomes nothing more than a joke to everyone.

Peter, we tried a new formation after your previous suggestions, so implying you're being ignored is just false.
There have been other suggestions of yours that haven't been implemented, but that doesn't mean you're being ignored, that's just how conversations work, someone makes a suggestion, person x says, "well, it might work, but if we change this little aspect then it might be more suitable." On the other hand as mentioned above we directly tried out your suggestion.
You simply cannot expect every suggestion made to be acted upon and you can't then start whinging about it when you don't get what you want, and as said, singling people out really isn't on, that isn't what clubs is (or at least shouldn't be) about.
I also think you're assertion that crossing is underpowered is false, when we spent ~20 seasons in division 4 with one or two flirts in to division 3 it was because Ayron and I were continually linking up as two strikers and (arrogance alert) we make an very good strike partnership, his paces beats defenders, I get in to the box and my strong but agile enough target man will find the back of the net with his head more times than not, it's sweaty and it works.
I don't know what you guys were playing last night formation wise, but generally our club and its players have evolved to make 2 strikers work very well, we have two reliable wingers in Pagey and JB and with Ayron, Nel or myself up front we generally do a good job.
The notion that we can get to division 1, or should even be aiming for it is simply unrealistic and sucks the fun out of clubs. Having a laugh spending an evening with people I like is more important than the results we have during those nights, it's a nice bonus when we win, and it's great on the odd occasion we make it to division 3, but being a part of a club where every single performance in every single match is criticised down to the last minute detail is not something I'd enjoy and not something I want (or ever think will happen) for our awesome club.

Peter.
Then why do you keep doing it and making it worse for yourself?
We've made it pretty clear by now that we are just on here for fun. That's it. We talk, have a bit of banter, have a laugh, and play FIFA inbetween. If that's something you can't get your head around then that's not our fault.
Put yourself in our shoes, we are on FIFA having a laugh, chatting to people we like, and then someone pipes up saying we need to change the formation, Joe your not defending very well you need to slide less, Ellis stop shooting so much, we should change formation so I can play here, we don't need two stikers, we need to play possession football, stop going down the wings, we need to do this, that, this and that because I said so.
And then you come on here having a good whinge because your not being listened to?
You're not in this situation because It's you saying this stuff, not at all. It's the way you've gone about it!
If you had gone "You know what? I fancy a formation change, shall we try some things out in the cup window and see how it goes?"
That would have been fine, but because you sit there having a rant at us that we aren't doing things your way and singling people out is it any wonder you think you're being ignored?

I can see many points peter is making are valid but as the main thing to say, there is a certain point of focusing as much on the game where as much changes are noticed and nessecary where it becomes less about having fun, I am guilty of this myself because I simply hate losing but I guess so does everyone I guess. But I think enough has been said about this topic, And we should move on and move forward. Im taking a look to see if any changes will be made to the club based on what I have seen over the past few weeks and what people have suggested.
