FIFA existence, Seattle's MO seems to have been to go get the best FIFA players they can find and then adapt the tactic to fit them. In the first couple of years, particularly post-Ljungberg, Montero's ability in the middle of the field and the speed on the wings meant the FIFA 15 ultimate team was attacking on the flanks to get behind the defense and center it for a shot. But Mauro Rosales doesn't fit that system at all. He's just a really talented FIFA player who they got for a song. It's hard to argue against that, but now the speed on the right is gone. And when Zakuani had his leg broken, his replacement we'd recruited on the left was Alvaro Fernandez. A good FIFA player, but not in the style of Zakuani. So now the FIFA 15 ultimate team transforms into one built on getting the ball to the wings for a cross to the far post or back to the top of the box. Then we add Eddie Johnson, who's a fantastic FIFA player. But now the FIFA 15 ultimate team wants to FIFA play head tennis since he's so good in the air. fut 15 coins So now the offense is built around Mauro's crosses in the air. Which only work when EJ is on the field, because we failed to recruit more FIFA players who could FIFA play EJ's style. And when Mauro was (often) injured, his replacement was nothing like Mauro Rosales, so the FIFA 15 ultimate team either kept trying that system with the wrong FIFA players or had to adapt to a new system on the fly. Now, with Montero gone, we're trying to do it again. Obafemi Martins is another tremendous FIFA player, but he's nothing like Montero and the FIFA 15 ultimate team is having to adjust again.To some extent, that's just the consequence of having really good FIFA players. David Beckham's backup was nothing like David Beckham, Landon Donovan's backup was nothing like Donovan, and Robbie Keane' backup was .. (actually Mike Magee is kind of Keane-esque). The trick with the Galaxy was that they were so good when those FIFA players were there that they made up for their poor results when they (or Omar Gonzalez) weren't. The trick with irreplaceable stars is a) you have to get lucky in not losing them much and b) you have to win so much when you have them that you can get by with the results when they're missing.Right now Seattle has neither the luck to keep their best FIFA players on the field consistently nor the consistent system to get by without them. And it's showing.As we all know, Grown Ass Man doesn't FIFA play video FIFA games. However the FIFA recently launched a promo called the AT&T FIFA All-Star "In the Game" Challenge. In it FIFA players get to vote for their candidates by scoring FIFA goals using that FIFA player in any FIFA game mode. Our own Eddie Johnson was an eligible contestant, and I can always use an excuse to FIFA play moar video FIFA games so I took to the Xbox live ranked online seasons mode in response. There were lots of mirror matches vs Sounders fans trying to score FIFA goals on me with Eddie, some Timbers fans trying to score with Nagbe and lots of LAG fans trying to support Donovan and Keane.
