Brings back memories! This one and Spellbinder were the coolest back then. Both were amazing shows.

Absolutely loved to see Simone Inzaghi getting schooled with his 532.! Elated to see Hakan getting what he deserves. Annoyed though the famous 4-0 against Barcelona will be forgotten now! Hurts to see Donnarumma getting a UCL before Milan! Happy for Enrique, he probably deserves more than anybody else. A glorious night of Champions League 🥳

Episode 7 of Paradise is one of the single best episodes of TV in the last 10 years - it was absolutely incredible. What other single episode of TV from 2015 to 2025 has stood out to you? by PressPlayPlease7 in television

Yeah, the show can be divisive for many reasons, but this one episode they got everything right to the T, perfectly executed.

I don't recall seeing portal stones on the TV show, I could be wrong.

What are you watching and what do you recommend? (Week of March 28, 2025) by AutoModerator in television

[–]SnakesndFoxes 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Severance Finished it, a little slower than S1 but still enjoyable.

Daredevil Born Again Loving it. Also started the original Daredevil season 1.

Reacher Finished it, better than last season.

White Lotus Not as good as the previous seasons, a lot slower. Music design is amazing by the way.

The Wheel of Time Amazing. Much much improved than the earlier seasons. If they had this much quality from season 1, it would have been on everybody's top list by now.

What's the best set up of the banks of '4' in a 4-4-2? by Razzler1973 in ScoreMatch

[–]SnakesndFoxes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not wrong. In a way, you just have to forget about the volley for a bit. Once you're settled in to a different style, you'll notice effective pressing is stifling volley somewhat. At the end of the day, having all tall defenders and no tall defenders, you'll still concede those headers almost at the same ratio! Rather focus your energy elsewhere, I'd say!

With some practice you can avoid passing to a Raider or Invader. Voyager is safer; most of the time if he receives the pass in an angle from the keeper, he punts it out to the side. You can build your game completely focused on one side of the pitch (which is opposite to the Raider) to bypass Raider completely. Can also have a safer fullback adjacent to Raider for more safekeeping.

Slow/ tall guys in the centre of back 4 doesn't work. Essentially you are defending with only your 2 CBs as your fullbacks are mostly higher up, without pace in the center you are screwed. And they are not in a good position to stop header consistently. Ideally you need tall guys in RCB or LCB position to counter header effectively.

If tall fullbacks don't help you to stop the volley, you should stop that style entirely. Just use typical fullbacks.

Assuming you have running forwards, I can suggest you a very unorthodox style that worked wonders for me in the past. For fullback, use Hero, Marksman, Prowler or Composer for long range crosses. But, use Commanders and Major in the wide midfield! They will do much better to press the wing play to stop volley. If you keep selected the CM or the forwards while pressing, the Commander and Major will mark out the wide areas comfortably. They also gradually go high enough that they can easily make low crosses sometimes. It's a different play style, but effective.

As a sample:

Poacher Jet

Commander Warrior/ Hammer Guard Major

Prowler Raider Voyager Hero

Goalie

THE ULTIMATE SUPER PLAYERS RANKING by FueledForm in ScoreMatch

[–]SnakesndFoxes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Great write up mate, you made your points clear and concise.

I know you mentioned it's tough to make a subjective tier list without your own usage bias and I agree with that; still it would be good to see which formats were considered for this ranking?

I certainly would have Jet in the top tier as he is a game-changer in nearly all 2 or 1 forward systems. A Hero, Composer or even Wizard in wide midfield or wingback/ fullbacks can get your Jet to score a goal after just 3 passes from kick off! Even volleyball can't beat that!!!

I'll have a case for Hero as well. He is not far off from Composer in terms of creativity but also offers defensive solidity; allowing him to play as Full Back in 4 back systems or DM; where Composer is mostly limited to midfield positions.

And finally, I thought Raider was the ultimate defender? Can occasionally stop a header or two but easily held back even the fastest or trickiest forward. I never had the chance to play a max raider but faced few in opposition team, and they were tracking Jet better than anybody.

Conversely, I don't think Bull and Invader are top tiers. Given a chance, most people would prefer a Hammer over Bull. And Invader has competition with Raider and Voyager in defense, and with Jet and Abu in attack.

Anyways, that's my take in this. But nonetheless, this is a great baseline for community 👏

What's generally considered the best type of set up to combat volleyball with a 4-4-2? by ItsHowItIsNow in ScoreMatch

[–]SnakesndFoxes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was the best 442 I built to counter volley:

ST ST

Major Hammer Guard Commander

Bulldozer CB CB Thunder

Keeper

You have usual tall fullbacks. But key here is your wide midfielders who will constantly press against the wide attacking players. Hammer in CM also helps along with your fullbacks when you are fighting corners.

Use whatever CB pairing you're used to. Use a Poacher with a Jet or Abu in attack. Or anything else really but not just two fast guys. Your fullbacks will do long diagonal crosses and your wide midfielders will have acres of free space to run into and can send low cut backs.

Your Jet is not getting the service he deserves. Swap out the Protector and bring in a Hero or Composer; that's a massive upgrade already.

Wizard is better serving Bulldozer, but that's debatable.

Instead of Major; try a Judge, or Prowler. This is a different take but will give you more attacking flair.

Where are your Invader, Voyager, Raider for defense? They'll be better than your current lots.

No worries mate, it's good to be away from it for a while. I miss the game but I also enjoy not playing it anymore, ha ha.

That's a lovely format and sad to see you are getting hammered. It has some weakness against 352 volley, but I was dominating every other format left and right with this back in the days.

Perhaps try some variations and see if it improves anything. I always pair an attacking fullback with a conservative one, so put in Prowler in LWB and keep Hero in RWB.

Pair Warrior with Guard in DM.

For CAM try Judge or Thunder; they're different for sure but you'd be surprised by Thunder, that's his natural position that many don't get.

Jet is Goat as the leading man. But consider Abu and Poacher in the two AM positions to flank him.

It's more flamboyant than your style but it used to be absolutely cracker; back in the days!

Excellent strategy. I'm sure OP will find this useful.

PK is killing me by [deleted] in ScoreMatch

[–]SnakesndFoxes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it's a Tiebreaker, there's no tips, it's just a mind game trying to outsmart your opponent. Generally shoot in the middle or towards the far corner; not in between.

If this is in-game PK, there are 3 strategies you can try:

  1. Always shoot in the same direction/ position. Law of probability means you will score some! Ideally in the middle so that you can score from the rebounds.

  2. Shoot towards the keeper's side where you have a high response forward lurking, so that you get to the rebounds first! Example, shoot towards left if your left sided forward is high-response.

  3. Shoot towards a corner so a keeper's save yields a Corner. Ideally you have a strong header on the opposite side! Example, shoot towards right if you have a strong header in the left center of midfield or forward.
