I personally agree with Coogar.

Gamesmanship is part and parcel of the game. The job of the Ref is to step in when he catches the player or believes that the rules of the game have been infringed...and sometimes they get it wrong and sometimes they get it right.

Fair play gets you nowhere in life, and it is completely natural for humans to try and gain even the slightest of advantages whenever they can...

I can't even think of one professional footballer that isn't also a professional cheat...when the ball goes out for a throw in, you see the very guy who booted the ball into Row Z raising his hands in appeal.

Diving, Fouling, and all sorts of Ojoro are part of the game...Ronaldo, Robben, Ibrahimovic, and Drogba are some of the biggest names in the game...and also some of the biggest cheats known to man...

Fifa 15 is so useless, I honestly don't even know where to start.

Last good fifa was Fifa 12.


I mostly play online, and the gameplay seems to have actually regressed further than the rubbish served up in fifa14

Some Stats for Perusal courtesy of Fantasy Football Scout

[size=28pt]16[/size] touches in the box by Danny Welbeck was joint-top with Sergio Aguero over the weekend’s fixtures. Whilst the Man City striker was somewhat unlucky not to score, producing seven attempts, with five from close-range, Welbeck mustered just two efforts (one inside the area) in Arsenal’s win at Sunderland and failed to register a single shot on target. Looking at the stats, it’s clear that, despite scoring just twice since making his debut for the Gunners in Gameweek 4, Welbeck is still seeing plenty of the ball from close-range – he sits third for touches in the box (53) and fourth for efforts in the area (16) over the last six but has been blighted by a poor goal conversion rate of only 10%. Encouragingly for his owners, the underlying creative stats are also strong – Welbeck’s four key passes against the Black Cats means he’s top for key passes amongst forwards over that period, teeing us his team-mates on 11 occasions.

[size=28pt]9 [/size]shots on target in his last six matches by Alexis Sanchez is top amongst midfielders. The Chilean took his tally to five goals over that period by firing a double at Sunderland and it’s easy to see why he’s making such an impact – across his last six appearances, the Gunners’ summer signing is top for touches in the box (38, more than double Angel Di Maria’s 17, for example) amongst midfielders and sits joint-top for efforts inside the box (11) with Nacer Chadli as he becomes increasingly influential to our Fantasy campaigns.

[size=28pt]26[/size] minutes per attempt on goal by Sadio Mane is quicker than any other regular starter in midfield. Since making his debut in Gameweek 6, the Senegal international is joint-top with team-mate Dusan Tadic, Sanchez and Di Maria for shots inside the box (seven), despite playing 281 minutes to the Serbian’s 374, and he’s also created nine chances for his fellow Saints in that period. A season comparison of the pair shows Tadic’s 33.3 minutes per shot is slower, whilst Mane has proven the equal of his team-mate for minutes per key pass (31.8 to Tadic’s 31.9). He has shown considerably more threat from close-range (1.8 shots in the box to 1.2), despite averaging 71.5 minutes per appearance to his fellow midfielder’s 88.7 and, intriguingly, when on the pitch, Mane has had a hand in 50% of the goals Southampton have scored compared to Tadic’s 36.8%.

[size=28pt]7 [/size]shots by Yaya Toure in City’s loss at West Ham was top amongst midfielders over the weekend. The Ivorian produced three efforts inside the box and a couple of key passes but failed to pick up the points for the eighth time in nine appearances this season. Ironically, when compared to last term’s stats, Toure is far more influential in the final third for City this time around – his touches (27.1 to 21.3), passes received (17.5 to 14.5) and successful passes (17.8 to 13.9) are all up, as are his touches in the box (3.4 to 2.5) and minutes per attempt (27.4 to 47.6). As many had expected, though, his ridiculously high 31.3% goal conversion rate from 2013/14 is proving impossible to replicate – Toure has found the net with just 4% of his attempts this season.

[size=28pt]21.9[/size] minutes per attempt this term from Wilfried Bony is quicker than his previous season’s 24 minutes. The Swansea forward fired more shots on target (three) than any other forward on Saturday, and with six attempts against Leicester, took his tally to four goals in the last three fixtures as he ascended the Fantasy rankings. Encouragingly, Bony’s shot accuracy (42.3% to 36.1%) and goal conversion (15.4% to 14.8%) are also an improvement from his impressive debut campaign. Subsequently, his frequency of goals are up from 162.3 minutes to 142.5 minutes this time around. Furthermore, the Ivorian has stepped up his creativity in Garry Monk’s first full campaign at the helm, registering a key pass every 81.4 minutes compared to 103.8 minutes last time around.

[size=28pt]25[/size] percent goal conversion by Samuel Eto’o for Everton, compared to team-mate Romelu Lukaku’s 14.3% after the first nine Gameweeks. Handed only his second start of the season behind the Belgian at Burnley, the veteran produced four attempts on target to his strike partner’s one and bagged a brace to take his tally to three goals in just 240 minutes in the league. Intriguingly, Lukaku was the man to make way for Ross Barkley, which allowed Eto’o to move to the lone striker role, and further comparison between the two forwards leans in the Cameroon international’s favour – he also betters the Belgian for minutes per attempt (20 to 27.6), shot accuracy (50% to 32.1%) and minutes per key pass (80 to 129). Lukaku owners will be a little concerned by his early withdrawal ahead of some excellent fixtures, and with Eto’o looking far more clinical, the big Belgian’s pitch time will need to be monitored.

[size=28pt]25.7[/size] minutes per chance created by Angel Di Maria is the quickest of any regular starter in the league this season. The Argentine failed to pick up the Fantasy returns but it wasn’t for a lack of trying – he teed up five goal scoring opportunities in the 1-1 draw with Chelsea and has created 23 chances for United, averaging 5.75 key passes per assist. Interestingly, his frequency is up on last year’s 27.3 minutes per key pass for Real, where he served up 17 assists, or an assist from every 5.18 chances created. In addition, since making his debut in Gameweek 3, Di Maria has fired 22 shots – joint-top with Toure over the last seven – with an average of 26.9 minutes per attempt on goal again significantly quicker than his average of 37 minutes in his final season at the Bernabeu. Some are mulling over a transfer out in light of trips to City and Arsenal in the next three but it’s clear he’s still posing a real threat right now.

[size=28pt]9[/size] chances created by West Ham’s Aaron Cresswell is second only to Leighton Baines (13) amongst defenders over the last four Gameweeks. The left-back has earned an assist in each of his last two appearances, and as the season unfolds, his stats indicate the summer signing from Ipswich is starting to make an impact. Comparing the last four to Gameweeks 1-5, Cresswell has improved for touches in the box (1.5 to 0.cool, crosses (five to two) and minutes per key pass, stepping up in frequency from a previous rate of 79.2 minutes to 42.4 over Gameweeks 6-9.

Ibime still on this Oscar issue?

To me Jose is to blame for the loss. Brought on Mikel way too early to shutdown the game. Mikel came on and was gifting possession anyhow.

Watch the replay of the Manyoo goal and see how Mikel fell asleep instead of reacting first to the ball. Than nigga was supposed to be marking RVP.

Jose and Mikel to blame for the points dropped IMO

The idea is to get Fab closer to goal. All those yeye passes Oscar dey throway would have turned into chances.
In fact, Mikel's introduction is late sef.
But Fab is still sitting deep.

He didn't move to number 10.

Jose decided to kill the game from the 60th minute. Let's hope it works sha.
