If we are in the business world, we will often hear this word " Buy low sell high!". Or when in the stock market people usually trade during the good economic growth while keep their money when the economy went bad.
But based on Robert T. Kyosaki, he said:
" A champion is those who know how to get profit during bad times and earn more and more profit during good times."
Basically what he is trying to say is no matter where the market goes, no matter how the economy is, the champion will always benefit either way. The champion will make full use of his knowledge and change the situation to his own way.
Same as FIFA although you score the 1st goal doesnt mean you are going to win. A true champion is a person who know how to secure his victory when he is leading and know how to make a comeback when he is losing. Doesnt matter if he is leading 5-0 or losing 5-0, the Champion know what to do in all of this situation in order to secure his victory.
From my personal experience i've seen a lot of people who are leading with lots of goal but in the end lost while those who are losing badly manage to make a comeback. But most of the time those who are losing will just lost. And everyone of them who failed share the same trait which is:
"Over confident or no confident"
Those who are winning thought they are winning while those who are losing thought they are losing. Its either over confident or lack of confident. A champion always balance this emotion. So always make sure that you doesnt fall in either one of the bad trait.
So dont always thought that when you score the 1st goal you will win. Although its a mental boost but be aware of your opponent desire to win.
In the end its what in your head that counts ^^
I think one of the most memorable comeback made in history of football is between Liverpool and AC Milan UCL 2005. Superb longshots. ^^

Ground Passes
Passing is the blood of the game. Its the key of any team. We love to watch football not just about the goals but also the assist that help the goal as well. Especially nice build up play.
In FIFA there are 2 type of ground passes. One is normal direct pass and another one is through passes.
1. Normal Direct Pass.
The name itself speaks the action of the pass. It was never meant to create any fast break but merely just to build up. Even sometimes especially infront of the box for some weird reason the player will always try their best to pass behind the receiving player. This is to make sure that they can keep the possession.
2. Through Pass.
This is a special pass to increase the momentum of the game. Especially useful in fast break or go in between the def. But it lacks accuracy thus require to have fast players to get the ball. You can also out pace the def if you can give a perfect pass to your striker. Usually this type of pass will produce 1 on 1 situation with the GK.
So choose wisely which type of pass you wanna use in different situation. Not all type of pass can be use in all situation. ^^
I still remember Arsenal played very nice ground passing game back in Henry era. Its very rare to find such play nowadays ^^

Unlucky
Have you ever do something that suppose to work but didnt work? Have you ever try to score a goal which suppose to go in but it hits the post or miss it? Or you are very unlucky that every time u slide an opponent you get red card?
Guess what? It happens to me too! And try to take another guess, who is the most unluckiest person in our FIFA community?
That person is.... me! Dont believe me? Check this out:
WCG 03:
In the semi final of loser bracket Gassa did a long shot from the wing. The GK was suppose to catch it but guess what? He stand there and be fooled by the shot! It was David Seamen..
WCG 04:
In the grand final i was leading 3-0 against Hwa. Then he get 3 STRAIGHT PENALTY and equalized the match to 3-3. In the end he won WCG Malaysia with the 2nd game 2-1.. also from penalty!
Electronic Football Competition(EFC) 06:
In the 2nd round against MyFES.Solidsnake, i cross and head to the post more than 5 times... IN A ROW! He beat me with the aggregate of 4-1.
Solidsnake ended up as the champion of EFC 06.
WCG 06:
Again n the semi final of loser bracket against Solidsnake he beat me in the 1st match 4-1. Then i make a comeback in the 2nd game 3-0. Then in the last minute he grab the ball from my poor Neville and counter attack. He cross and Henry was running. Robinson suppose to catch the ball but wait... Henry out-pace and out-jump Robinson and scores! Again it was England!
WCG 07:
Visa denied. Have to say more?
CGS 07:
For some reason any computer that i touch will have problem. Touch this one will disconnect. Touch that one will disconnect. Donno if i touch any girl will disconnect any clothes or not. :P
So in the 3rd round against own clanmate [W|nDs] Illeonu, he lead me by 3-0.Then in the 2nd half i make another comeback to 3-3. Then he score again then i score back 4-4. Then suddenly from the corner, cross and then guess who head it? It was Makelele! He head the ball so slow that i bet a turtle will outrun the ball but Coupet just cant do anything about it. He won the match 5-4.
WGT 07:
In the final against [W|nDs] Vin, i got so many chances from 1 on 1 which i am very pro at it. But guess again, all hit the post! Very.. very... arghhhh!!!
Vin won the match and became the 1st WGT FIFA champion.
So there you have it. Even champion do have his unlucky moments. But thru my personal experience i notice that it can be overcome!
How does unlucky happen? Most of it happens because:
Unlucky = Lack Of Knowledges, Lack Of Concentration and Mistakes.
It is also equals to: Your fault!
Take WCG 06 for example. If I didnt pass to Neville i might win the match. But i was to stubborn to pass to him although he was mark closely by a winger. In the end it resulted in the goal.
WGT 07? That is my fault as well. Lack of concentration resulting in the unlucky moments.
So if you are unlucky, dont blame the unknown factor. Blame yourself for your own miserable fate.
But unlucky is good. Now that we know what is the unlucky factor, we can turn it into lucky ^^
I never won any cabutan bertuah in my life. Isnt that unlucky? What is your unlucky moment? ^^

CGS Malaysia Qualifier FIFA 08 Result
Yesterday CGS Malaysia 08 was being held at FTZ Asia Subang Jaya. There were only 14 players took part for the FIFA tourney compare to last year it was more than 40. Maybe due to the lack of promotion and also last minute call up the event couldnt manage to attract more people to joined. But nevertheless it was a successful event.
How was the FIFA format qualifier? 14 players will play in round robin and the top 6 will be selected base on their goal scorings, not winning matches. Meaning if you score more goals than everyone else in the group you will be drafted into the top 6. Since its counted on goals scoring, goals conceding will also be counted as well. So if you score more and also concede a lot then you chances to be drafted is very low.
The qualifier start around 11am and ends at 6pm. To cut it short, here is the top 6 players who got drafted:
and the 6th player has been chosen as wild card.
All of this 6 players will undergo tremendous training in the boot camp. From here on the selection will be base on the best of all the top 6 players. The champion will represent KL Taufan and going to battle out skills & wit at China this April. And maybe stand a chance to get the USD 30K worth of contract. So all the best guys!
May the best man win! ^^
A big thanks to Mygozone,FTZ Asia and all the sponsors for bringing us this wonderful opportunity ^^

Possession and Counter Attack.
We all have heard it. You need to have possession in order to score. No possession no goal. While on the other hand believe that as soon as get the ball straight away counter attack. Every time get the ball make sure that its either ended up in your opponent penalty box or in the back of the net.
Both have strong argument. One said that you need the ball to score. The other said get the ball fast into the net. Dont wait for the chances to come. So which is right?
The right thing to do is to use the possession well. No matter how many possession you get even up till 99%, if you donno how to use it the possession is useless. Thats why if you see the match stats sometimes the one who won the match wont have higher possession. Its a prove that the percentage of possession wont make you win. Its how you use the possession that matters. Just imagine every time you get the ball it ended up for a corner or a goal. So if you have 10 possession and 30% ended up in the net, you have 3 goals easily!
So if you like to hold the ball make sure you know what you are doing. If you like to counter attack make sure that the counter attack can produce a goal or at least it ended up for a corner.
In the end its not about quantity but quality ^^

The Other 5%
I am sorry that for the past 3 days i wasnt able to update the blog. I was attending a business motivation seminars. To make it up to it today i will share one of the lesson that i learn during the RM2000 seminar. So better make full use of it!
In US around 1930 if im not mistaken, there was a president asking his minister about the condition of the country. He ask will US will still be on top of the world or will go down in the future. All the minister that he ask most of them said the same thing: US will go up!
One day the president call the minister of education. He give the minister of education USD 3 Billion to make a research to see where will US be in the future. The minister of education when to Yale University and gave the money to the dean to conduct the research.
The dean summon all of the professor and ask them how do we do this research. Some of them said we should research on the economy because economy will determine the wealth of the nation. Some of them said we should research about new technology. Suddenly one of them said " We should research about our people because they are who determine the success of our country.".
Agreed to the last professor they call in 100 man around US in the age of 25. They ask many question such as "What is your dream?" "What is your ambition?" "What is your current status?" and so on and so forth. Every year they will ask the same 100 man of what they are doing rite now. They updated it every year until 30 years since they all will retire when they are 56 years old. Then they compile the report and send it to the president.
The report was category into 5 group:
This report was published in the "Fortune 500" magazine. What does N.E.W.O.C means? It mean Not Even Worth One Cent. All of them are 55 years old when the report was submitted and 63 of 100 are useless. Only 1 out of 100 is rich while 4 is financial independent. 5 of them is still working although they are suppose to retire while 27 have died. This report shock the whole nation even some of them cried when they read this report.
The president ask why those who die is no.4 not no.5? The professor answered " We purposely let it be there." President asked why. Then the prof replied "To remind all of us that its better to die then live a useless life." Because of this report US became the most powerful nation in the world rite now.
As you see it is not the country,not the government or not your parent who determine your success. Its you who will determine your own life. Because of this report too another country in Asia who was almost gone from the world became a very powerful country now. Which country is that? It was Japan. When 2 nuclear bomb drop at Hiroshima and Nagasaki everyone thought that Japan is going to be extinct from the world. When this report arrive at Japan around 1970 they start to build up their nation. In just 20 years time they have become one of the most powerful country in the world. No matter where we live rite now, we will always use their product. When we sleep on the aircond its from Japan. When we wanna eat open the refrigerator, its from Japan. Half of Proton car is from Japan. We wear selipar Jepun!
This report was name " The Other 5%" . This report was so powerful that it make an almost extinct nation into a powerful country. So my question is this: Do you want to be in the other 5%? Which position do you want to be? No.1 and no.2? Or no.5?
Only you can decide in which position you wanna be. If you want to be in the other 5% everyday when you wake up and go to sleep shout " I WANNA BE THE OTHER 5%!!!". Shout for x16. Dont just say it. You must shout. Only when you shout your subconscious mind will work. You will feel the energy to be the other 5%. It will force you to go on even if you dont feel like too.
But shouting itself also is useless. DO SOMETHING! Start to build urself up. Dont wait things to happen. Make things happen!
So dont be the other 95%. Be the other 5% ^^
*Reminder* The FIFA Blog will not be responsible for any disturbance in your house such as broken mirror or window or mom thinking your crazy that will result in shouting those word. Each ppl are responsible for the effect that may or may not affect other people as well.

As you see it is not the country,not the government or not your parent who determine your success. Its you who will determine your own life. Because of this report too another country in Asia who was almost gone from the world became a very powerful country now. Which country is that? It was Japan. When 2 nuclear bomb drop at Hiroshima and Nagasaki everyone thought that Japan is going to be extinct from the world. When this report arrive at Japan around 1970 they start to build up their nation. In just 20 years time they have become one of the most powerful country in the world. No matter where we live rite now, we will always use their product. When we sleep on the aircond its from Japan. When we wanna eat open the refrigerator, its from Japan. Half of Proton car is from Japan. We wear selipar Jepun!
This report was name " The Other 5%" . This report was so powerful that it make an almost extinct nation into a powerful country. So my question is this: Do you want to be in the other 5%? Which position do you want to be? No.1 and no.2? Or no.5?
Only you can decide in which position you wanna be. If you want to be in the other 5% everyday when you wake up and go to sleep shout " I WANNA BE THE OTHER 5%!!!". Shout for x16. Dont just say it. You must shout. Only when you shout your subconscious mind will work. You will feel the energy to be the other 5%. It will force you to go on even if you dont feel like too.
But shouting itself also is useless. DO SOMETHING! Start to build urself up. Dont wait things to happen. Make things happen!
So dont be the other 95%. Be the other 5% ^^
*Reminder* The FIFA Blog will not be responsible for any disturbance in your house such as broken mirror or window or mom thinking your crazy that will result in shouting those word. Each ppl are responsible for the effect that may or may not affect other people as well.

International Selection Part 2
Yesterday we discuss about Brazil and England. Today we continue with our discussion about France and Spain.
a)France
France would be useless without 1 person... the person who was call King during his Arsenal era.. another botak player who rule the world... its King Henry! Henry is France specialty. If this version still have Zidane well its just gonna make things worst does it? Henry can just do so many unbelievable thing. He can score,run,cross,dribble,take corner and free kick. He is the complete player. If someone manage to get him injured, most probably France cant do anything anymore.
Although France is all about Henry, must never underestimate his teammates as well. Viera just frustrate us most of the time. No matter how fast you run he can always tackle you. Not just that if you know how to use him well he can just follow you all day long. Ribery and Malouda is damn cool. The perfect wingers for a team. Although Trezeguet can do some unbelievable thing as well as Henry but personally for me i prefer Cisse do to the fact he respond faster and run faster as well. Just the lack of finishing puts him a little bit down. Coupet is amazing between the stick. One of the most stable consistent performance in the game. Although Thuram is slower than previous version, he is still good if you know how to use him. Well if you dont like him you still have Mexes to replace him. Dont look down on Makelele though. Eventhough his overall is low but for some reason he is as good as any player around.
Since i mention about Makelele can you guys detect what is their 2nd specialty? Its their team chemistry! Even if you put Makelele,Cisse or Thuram for some reason they can play their role well. It makes us wonder if the overall stats should be counted or not during line up selection. I believe that even if you put a player which his overall is 99 but you dont know how to use him it is still useless.
The 3rd specialty for France is everyone is stable. You can feel when you use France that somehow there is a feeling of stability. They maintain the formation very well and good teamwork. Because of this most people call them "The Cheating Team" beside Barca of course. Due to their good teamwork they can create some unbelievable unexpected thing on the pitch.
So if you wanna use France, there are 2 ways to use it. Either you play a teamwork base or solo target man play. When i say solo i believe everyone know who that person is.
So that is why France is very popular among the gamers (Although i feel Henry got something to do with it).
b)Spain
Previously Spain wasnt so popular due to the fact that it is not a fast pace team. Although it has fast player such as Joaquin and Torres, for some reason they cant run or dribble better. But this version is different! Suddenly the whole team changes again because of 1 person. Yup its Fernando Torres!
You can say that Torres is like the young Henry. He can do whatever Henry can do. Maybe for the set pieces he is not as good as him. But if you can unleash a nice long ball for him, you can say bye bye and just wait for the celebration.
If you like to play long ball or thru passes, Spain is for you! They are the long ball team and its their 2nd specialty. Villa and Torres are damn good in out pacing the defender. No matter how fast your defender is they can just beat them easily without any fuss. Plus they are good in the air as well. Its very rare to find fast striker with good heading and also good finishing as well. Although their midfielder seems to be normal but they are the backbone of the team. They can help both in defense and attack as well. An all rounder midfield. Their defense lead by Puyol just make thing worst. Everyone know how Puyol is. He is fast and vicious in the tackle. Its very hard to get thru Puyol. Casillas is an amazing GK. One of the best in the game. Sometime normal goals just dont work with Casillas and he is pretty good in 1 on 1.
Although Torres and Villa is fast but if you manage to defend them very well, they cant do anything. For some reason it seems like Spain depend too much on their striker fast pace. So if you use Spain try to find another style beside long ball.
So there it is! Si_Jali guide to international team. So which team do you wanna use? For me i choose the team that suits me well. It doesnt mean that its the no.1 team you have to use it too. Back in 2005 and 2006 i use England when everyone else use France. Because of England i got no.4 in WCG Grand Final and no.1 in Asian Cyber Games in 06. Then in 2007 i change to France because Beckham getting worst plus the GK is not reliable enough. With France i won CEL Games and WCG Malaysia. So i have a very good memory with both team.
So choose your team wisely. The best combination is when your style mix well with the team. ^^
a)France

International Selection
During MMU E-Week there were many favourite team choosen by each player. There were Man Utd, Barcelona, France, Spain, Brazil, England and some Chelsea. Although we can expect that team like Barcelona will be on top of them all, but all the teams has its own specialty.
This specialty was made by EA to make sure that although it is not as good as the other team, it can still compete and can even win other big team as well. There are also certain team which can counter other team as well. And what make this specialty is so unique is that it suits certain play style only. Let say that you like to play with fast pace pressuring then Man Utd or Barcelona would be your favourite choice. Like to play more passing than dribbling, Chelsea would be the best choice. (All the above is just example for playing style, not the definite way of using the team).
So today im going to dedicate today topic with international team specialty. I choose to discuss international because i've more knowledge and experience compare to club. I will do a topic about club too but maybe not in the near future.
Ok so lets start with the 1st team:
a)Brazil
The country of samba! What can i say more? Its touches everyone heart with their attacking style of play plus slickery smooth moves. Plus its the home where all the best footballer in the world came from. Just name it Ronaldinho,Kaka, Ronaldo all are Brazilian.
Ok so what is Brazil specialty? 1st of all what we will notice is their physical appearance. Their defender is noticeably so big and strong. Plus they are fast too. The midfield also have the same appearance.
2nd is their ability to respond and react. Gilberto Silva always help in the defence with its response to attack. Always win and make crucial tackle. Kaka on the other hand always run into the box without even needing to control him. He always give the extra option when attacking. Plus his long shot is as good as in real life as well. There are certain position especially near the box if you power up a little bit can still score from long shot. Robinho and Ronaldinho? Every should have know their ability to dribble. Ronaldo shldnt let him get those rebound balls. If he is in the box he is a very deadly player. Plus his fast too. (I know he is not fast in real life but hey.. its just a game.)
So if you like to play a lot of ground passes with a little bit mix of 1-2 passes and also would like to do a lot of dribble, Brazil is for you. You can also do counter attack long ball because Ronaldo can actually run but there will be problem in terms of his partner. If you play with 2 striker you can either use Robinho or Rafael Sobis or even Ronaldinho but they are not as good as Ronaldo. So use your creativity and decide which style you wanna use.
b)England
Beckham, Beckham and Beckham. What will England do without him? It is the most confusing team in the game. There are too many good midfielder to choose from. We all know that Beckham cant run anymore but he is very good in crossing. Its a big fight for the right flank position. Another fight is in the CM area. Donno why some ppl feel that Gerrard and Lampard cant play together. But we all know Lampard is good. So who should we choose? For the strikers, Bent seems better than Owen but do we want to risk such experience striker? The defender is good with Terry and Ferdinand but the Neville is pretty slow.I donno why some people dislike A.Cole because for me he is good.
It is pretty confusing isnt it? Yeah it is. The line up itself make us lost 50% of our energy just to decide who to play. So i leave the technical part for you guys to decide who should play and who should not. If for me this will be my line-up:
GK: David James
RB: Micah Richard
CD: Ferdinand
CD: Terry
LB: A.Cole
RM: SWP (Yes i ditch Beckham!)
CM: Gerrard
CM: Hargreaves
LM: J.Cole
RS: Bent
LS: Rooney
For me i dont really need Lampard because i dont depend much on long shot. Although Lampard can win tackle but Hargreaves is fast and can do a lot in the midfield. Micah is not bad and can provide alternative for Neville. SWP is faster than Beckham and i do depend a lot on fast wings. Bent is more stable than Owen.
So what is England specialty beside confusing line up? Their striker is good! If the midfield can supply nice ball to the striker, you can say bye bye because they are fast and deadly. So obviously England is a passing team. You can try to dribble but it wont be that effective. Gerrard can also help assist in attack. Another player to watch is James. Dont be fool by his low overall because he can really save the day.
But England depend on the player chemistry. If you field up the wrong line up it can really cost you dearly. So choose wisely depend on your style of play.
So there you go with the first 2 team. Tomorrow i'll talk the next 2 team which is France(Henry!) and Spain(Torres!).
Until then please give us some thought or if you have anything to ask please feel free to ask. Even if you disagree and would like to correct me if im wrong please do so. We all here are still learning and will do some mistakes. ^^
What is your favorite real life team? For club its Chelsea! International will be Brazil!

MMU E-Week
Last Sunday 9/03/08 there was a FIFA tourney held by MMU in its MMU E-Week event. There were other games as well such as Dota and CS. As always FIFA still attract most of the crowd with an average 30-40 participants.
The tourney was the 1st FIFA 08 competition for this year. Its the tourney where we can see who has been practicing hard and who has been slacking. Although its still far away to predict who will conquer 2008 but its an early indication on which gamers to watch.
The tourney went smoothly and some of the predicted favorites qualify from their group. As always the favorites are from the veteran and experience FIFA clan, W|nDs and MyFES. One of the surprising result was a newcomer nickname S|xth a.k.a Ariesparda qualify from his group as well. But in the end eventually he lost to [MyFes] Bush due to his lack of experience and composure.
Another match to be noted was between [W|nDs]Al3x vs [W|nDs]Vin. It was a very low scoring match where Vin got the 1st goal. But Al3x manage to equalise last minute in extra time thus bringing the match forward into extra time and eventually ended up in penalties. It was a breath taking match but in the end Vin manage to outclass Al3x. Same goes to [W|nDs]Loonatic vs [W|nDs]Jotaro when they also went into penalties to decide. In the end it was Loonatic who manage to outsmart Jotaro.
The semi final was between [W|nDs] Loonatic vs [W|nDs]Vin and [MyFES]Arroyos vs [MyFES]Bush. Since both match are against each clanmates so you can expect such tight score as well. In the end it was Vin and Arroyos are in the final.
The 3rd and 4th placing match is between Loonatic vs Bush. Although Loonatic was leading with a goal Bush manage to equalize back. With a longball from its own field, Bush manage to outrun Loonatic defend and score a lob goal against Loonatic to secure the win. Although Loonatic have many chance to get back into the game but due to his lack of finishing he couldnt get the important touch.
The final was a very tight match with again the goals didnt come easily. With both having such good attack and defense both of them had manage to subdue each other in almost every situation. In the end it was Vin who manage to clinch his 1st FIFA 2008 CHAMPION title with a score of 2-1.
So the result for MMU Tourney are as follow:
1st: [W|nDs]Vin
2nd:[MyFES]Arroyos
3rd:[MyFES]Bush
Congratz to all winners and all the participants who have help in increasing the standard of competitiveness in our FIFA community.
We hope that you guys will come and join us again when there is any tourney in this year. For those who have miss this tourney dont worry there will be more to come i can guarantee you that.

And Your Teacher Is...
Sorry for the delay i was pretty busy for you know what day it is. Happy voting for those who are voting ^^
Haha i guess you guys have know the answer already from the previous thread. The answer to the riddle is..
CPU a.k.a COMPUTER
I know that CPU can be a little annoying at times. They can do anything that they want. If they are determine to score they will find any way which sometimes exceed our expectation to score. Same goes to defending it seems that they can just follow you everywhere you go no matter what you do. The most frustrating things of all is i know the legendary dribbling past thru all 4 defender without stopping.
So instead of hating them, why dont we join them? Many people dont realize that what the CPU can do WE CAN DO TOO. So how do we ask CPU to teach us? By observing their play.
Take example when CPU are defending. Did you notice that everytime we attack, there will be 1 player stick to you until the end? What this defender is doing is that he is controlling his defending area. CPU will stick to the ground and wait for your move. CPU will never select another player until we pass or change to another player. Their terms of defending is "Stick Like UHU"
Thru observation, we can see that the concept that they use is very simple. Just stick to your ground and dont go anywhere. They play 1 on 1 style defending. This will retain the position and force us to either dribble or pass. It is a very good concept and it does help me personally to understand more on how to def.
Another example is from crossing. The best thing about this game is we can save replay! Save the replay and observe in which position did the CPU choose to cross to the striker. Where is the position of the striker when the cross has been execute? Save a few replay and we can see that they always cross to the striker in certain position. Of course you have to save replays for successful crosses only.
So thru observation, CPU can be our teacher indirectly. Dont get frustrate with CPU. Instead, use the frustration to learn from them. I will wrap this thread up with this slogan:
IF CPU BOLEH KITA BOLEH! IF KITA BOLEH MALAYSIA BOLEH! ^^
What is your most frustrating moment playing with CPU? For me its still the dribbling thru 4 def part ^^

Whose Your Teacher?
Teacher is a very important expect in our education. Be it in school or life education we will always need a teacher for guidance. A teacher can be someone who is very good in his/her field and has many experience in it. A teacher is also someone who has proven that his/her method is good.
Obviously when we wanna do something new, we will be looking for someone to teach us, a teacher. Call it Sifu or Guru it is still the same. They make our life easier by letting us go thru the 1st phase of learning as fast as possible. They are our stepping stone. Without them we have to do trial and error many times before we can find the right choice. A smart person will always look for someone who is good at what he does to guide him to the same path.
Same as in FIFA, we need a teacher too! I think it is very rare for everyone to find someone who is good in FIFA to teach them about a lot of things. Not just that, many pro players find it hard to share their knowledge to someone else because afraid that it might harm them in the end. But no one realize that everyone have their own personal teacher everyday!
Who am i talking about? This person is someone who the whole world knows. The FIFA teacher is someone that everyone know is very hard to beat, even sometime will trash us. Plus he is always there for 24 hours but no body realize. He can be anywhere in the world and will always follow you where ever you go. What makes it really unique is that the better you get, the harder to beat him. Plus also you dont have to pay him anything. Yup its free!.
So whose this unknown teacher im talking about? I'll let you guys try to guess to see if you can understand the riddle im giving here. Another tip to answer this riddle is you must be highly observant ^^
And no the answer is not the Yellow Man.. "Ku bersamamu" ^^
Obviously when we wanna do something new, we will be looking for someone to teach us, a teacher. Call it Sifu or Guru it is still the same. They make our life easier by letting us go thru the 1st phase of learning as fast as possible. They are our stepping stone. Without them we have to do trial and error many times before we can find the right choice. A smart person will always look for someone who is good at what he does to guide him to the same path.
Same as in FIFA, we need a teacher too! I think it is very rare for everyone to find someone who is good in FIFA to teach them about a lot of things. Not just that, many pro players find it hard to share their knowledge to someone else because afraid that it might harm them in the end. But no one realize that everyone have their own personal teacher everyday!
Who am i talking about? This person is someone who the whole world knows. The FIFA teacher is someone that everyone know is very hard to beat, even sometime will trash us. Plus he is always there for 24 hours but no body realize. He can be anywhere in the world and will always follow you where ever you go. What makes it really unique is that the better you get, the harder to beat him. Plus also you dont have to pay him anything. Yup its free!.

Man Marking
There is a feature in FIFA that helps in defending. Its call MAN MARKING. It allows gamer to choose from 4 players to auto mark the selected players opponent. With this, gamer has a lot of choice to fully utilize the defending game play.
So who to man mark would be the question rite? Now this depends on the formation your opponent choose.
For example vs 433. The player that should be man mark is the winger. Why? Because 433 rely on the wing to attack. Although it has a lone striker, its very hard for him alone to attack. So the best move is to man mark the winger while manual mark the lone striker. So imagine that CPU is helping you in def by man marking the winger.
Although it seems nice and formidable, must be aware that man marking do have its flaw. When the winger finish running, the def who man mark will leave the winger in an almost offside position. This will allow him to run freely if he gets the correct pass.
There are also some players who dont play man marking. They use ZD instead. But as i said before, there is no definite way in FIFA.
So the man marking rules is simple. Mark the most targeted active player base on formation.
Hopefully this will help you guys to get a lot of clean sheet ^^
Does anyone know where does the term "Clean Sheet" came from? ^^
