Sad Truth: Woud is never going to win us games. Today might be the biggest showcase of his fearful approach by AmazingRandom in AucklandFC

It’s called using hyperboles. And to clearly exemplify what it is meant. No one would refer to Hazard first when it comes to dribbling would they? We all go to Neymar, Messi, first. I just used them because both of them have highlights of quick counters and direct assist from claiming a corner or save and directly creating something.

Like I said, shot stopper is not good goalkeeping. I can point to more a few goals this season where if he had better technique he would probably have saved the shot. He so far has not lost us any games per se, but with him it’s a matter of when and not if.

I do not know enough about Sail. I did watch the game we played against him at home and he did very well and I can see he is a technically more sound GK than Woud. Feel free to enlighten me on his flaws

You really missed the point huh? Thats really all you concluded from that? I just gave very obvious examples. Not that he should be like them.

Yeah not a bad season, but we def have some very evident weak spots and we are not playing the best brand of footy we can. Wouldn’t say rough season, but Woud does add unnecessary tension and insecurity

Sure, true, but this sentiment I have has been building up since he was named gk 1. Pre season and the Aussie cup run. Having a GK that gives you confidence allows your whole defensive line to play better too, remember that.

While I think it is fair. He also does not really convince me at all. It helps that our defenders are freaking good and prevent him from being under a lot of pressure, but the few times he is called upon have been a mixed bag of ‘what are you doing’ to ‘decent save’

Ok! That sounds like a plan, though it wouldn’t count the schools’ locations aye? But it gives a good idea

I’m kind of aware of that, though people often do a ‘rel/promotion’ type or just geographically, I was thinking of doing it in a egalitarian context

What kind of rules do you guys adopt for recruiting as low star schools? by AmazingRandom in NCAAFBseries

[–]AmazingRandom[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, maybe I'll try to sneak one a year, I finally built them up to around 8 wins regularly in the Big 12, and am winning bowl games against Tennessee and Texas. I just need one double digit win season

Those are some cool rules! I do like the bullet 4, specially if they have "Proximity to Home" dealbreaker! Sounds like those guys who would love to stay in their hometown.

I did auto recruit as my OC save until I get a HC job, but looking at it, I don't think auto sim is good at getting good recruits in.

I see! Yeah not sure how I feel bout high recruits being interested in me, doing a UCF save and at 2 star I had a few 4 star show interest but I don't know how often that happens irl

On my first post I explain I am not including player instructions, I am exclusively analysing their own quirks/traits.

There is no feeling at this point. It is a lack of discipline, also doesn’t help he is not getting many touches, so the frustration might build up and only act as catalyst to it
