One thing I would like to point out to my American FIFA players here on OS, is that you shouldn't be looking at statistics as much as you do like in NFL or NBA.

Football isn't about percentages. Sure, they can be indicative, but FIFA's biggest flaw in my opinion is about those percentages not meaning ANYTHING.

Having 69% possession on FIFA is useless unless that is accompanied by goals. I routinely beat players with high possession numbers purely because I know how to defend and how to score goals.

if that possession is in your own half, its not dangerous. It's exactly what was the issue with Louis Van Gaal at United.

If anything, I feel that FIFA makes every team play like Van Gaal's United, and that is why playing CPU is boring, and that is why unless there actual advanced metrics about possession in opposition half, etc. having a statistical approach to FIFA is void.

Do you ever feel that a team is just better than you? Or do you just feel you're being cheesed because the AI knows what button you just pressed.

Until they fix that, all the other analysis is redundant, sorry guys.
