I usually choose my penalty takers based on composure, penalties and decisions, and I've won most of the shootouts I've been in. But I've just lost the Europa League final from the spot so it's not a guarantee of success.
I see; well, since my team is neither physically strong enough to play defensive games nor technically-gifted enough, I'll just stick with what seems to be working, which so far is the double playmaker. :D
I have a couple fast players up front but overall the speed is not so high so I'll just...
Great article as usual; I will try to include this in my tactic and see if I can make it work...so far I've not managed to set my counterattacks right, as the ball is rarely cleared where my forward is, and even when he does get the ball, he goes down the sideline but then he is either robbed by...
I should hope so :D
Anyway I usually encourage them if I'm 1-0 up or drawing, I say I'm pleased if I'm 2 or more goals up. When I'm behind by one goal I say "we can win this" and if 2 or more goals behind I say I'm angry, which usually makes me come back one or more goals, but still lose the...
Yeah if you want an Italian CB worthy of Roma those are the only names I can think of; Bonucci won't be interested either as he's at Juve and the others aren't good enough.
Spain: Barcelona
England: Manchester City
Italy: AS Roma
Germany: Werder Brema/Wolfsburg
France: Olympique Lyon
Holland: Ajax
Portugal: Porto
But the ones I actually follow watching their games are just AS Roma and Manchester City, plus the odd Barcelona one. |)
Thanks for the comments Nicky, good to hear your opinions both on the tactic and the performances of those two players. My team is currently in the Championship fighting for promotion but we are far off the quality of Arsenal and the likes, with whom a more fluid style could provide that...
Can anyone give me an opinion on this? Also, can anyone tell me how to save and post the file of a match? I'd like to post one of the matches I've done with this tactic so you can take a look and see how it works and maybe point out how I could make it work better, or if there are glaring...
This is a great thread, I've read all through it in the past couple of days and the articles are really well done and useful.
I'm currently trying to develop a 4-2-2-2 with two central midfielders and two wide attacking mids, I'm still very early into the developing of it but the first two...
I'm having Lampard tutor my most promising central midfielder, I'll report once the tutoring ends. Lampard's mental stats are awesome so if he can pass some of that to the tutee that would be great.
I'm trying this tactic with my Woking; I was already going very well in the Championship with my 4-3-1-2 but I wanted to try this one all the same. With the first version I won 4-2 at home against WBA then lost 5-4 at Southampton.
I switched to the parma version and drew 0-0 away with Bari...
a player with 188/189 PA is a world class player if he reaches that potential; you shouldn't snub them, I don't think even Ronaldo or Messi have a PA over 190 and if they do they don't reach that value in their CA ever through their career anyway.
Ok, he probably isn't right now, but I think he's going to be. Right now how many keepers are better than him in the Premier League? Reina, Van der Sar (who's going to retire), and then?
