As of today I will no longer be keeping this site updated. I've been kindly offered the chance to write/blog for the Fifa community guys over at Sweetpatch.tv and my future football and gaming musings will be posted over there rather than here. Thanks to all who have visited the site (many thousands of you) and I hope I have helped a few people out along the way. I will be leaving this site open

During the last couple of years I've become a big fan of the football game genre where you take control of an individual player, train him up, develop from school-leaving dreamer to international soccer star. I played the Be A Pro mode extensively in Fifa 10 and the similar Captain Your Country mode in EA's Fifa World Cup 2010. However, there was something about the mode in Fifa 11 that didn't

Those that know me know that I'm well in to my football gaming and I've been exclusively Fifa only for well... for ever. There's only one rival to Fifa; PES, and every time I've picked it up to see what all the fuss is about I've hated it. You may also know that over the past few months I've become increasingly frustrated and disillusioned with Fifa 11 to such a point that I now refuse to play it

When asked to write a short article on the MCFC/MUFC rivalry for some research I jumped at the chance to take part. There is so much to talk about, so much history and passion. I decided to focus on the rivalry I see everyday and how it feels to live in a City with two clubs. "To many people football is like a religion; they live it, breath it, eat it, sleep it and plan every aspect of their

A couple of weeks back I wrote a little article about Fifa 11's Be A Goalkeeper mode and how I was pretty disappointed with what the mode had to offer in offline game modes. Well now I've finally got round to having a proper go at playing as a goalkeeper in online clubs mode and here's what I thought about it. It takes a brave man to pull on the gloves in online clubs matches and face the wrath

Hey followers, in my role as an 'EA Gamechanger' I have in the past been providing feedback to EA about Fifa and making suggestions for changes and additions. I thought it would be useful to open up debates to the wider audience and invite comments and discussion about my ideas from you; it's useful to know what is important to different people and how they perceive new ideas. I have a few

You've probably read my Fifa 11 review by now where I was very impressed with what Fifa 11 had to offer. On the pitch, when the game is played between two like-minded footballers, the game is fantastic. One of the modes I touched on in my review was the new goalkeeper career mode which has great potential for someone like myself who used to be a goalkeeper and I was very much looking forward to

Following a couple of weeks hard grafting I bring to you a complete set of Fifa 11 resources just in time for the games' release in the US today and worldwide on Friday. Links to the achievement guide, virtual pro accomplishments, skill and celebrations guides, stadium and leagues lists can all be found below and will be permanently available from the menus on this site. I hope that these

You may have seen my other team England Allstars and now I've decided to go from a proper authentic team to the complete opposite. Starbucks FC was born out of the enjoyment of Sensible World of Soccer custom teams and now you will be able to join in the fun as well by downloading this team to your Fifa 11 game; I've tried to create some very interesting characters for you to play with! Enjoy :)

Here is my England Allstars team which is available to download as a full team in Fifa 11 and will be available to download as individual players, straight to your console on PS3 and XBOX 360. I've created each player as authentically as possible in terms of appearance, attributes and traits. I'm very happy with the end result and I hope to get some good feedback from everyone once Fifa 11 is
