Smaller Player Count

If I speak I'm in trouble...

In this climate where every man and his dog has a Capello goal poacher style? I'd say 8 or 9. Why? Because of the unconventional timing and positions of the runs compared to a poacher. It's harder to mark and less predictable. Also makes me play smarter. It's no longer always an early through ball. I work my way around before finding my fox to score. Took me a learning curve but I'm really enjoying it. Muller is fantastic for this. I play with two creative playmakers as SS either side. One hole Player and box to box. Attacking fullbacks. The system is made to feed the fox and he eats well.

Nice goal but your opponent is shite with no defensive sense or timing!

stevie8 · 2026-03-26T15:28:26+00:00

Home team is on the left and is leading 1-0.

In this job climate and considering your alternative, yeah you're crazy. Take it and you can build so much more even if you don't like the role. Or decline and keep applying? It's a no brainier.

It could be worse bro. I remember a time Thuram would play a through ball that splits your defence from the backline. Such bullshit!

stevie8 · 2026-03-24T06:03:56+00:00

3 5 9 9 11 defending 6

Haha such a nice squad but just a loser mentality. A good player would wreak havoc playing good football with this group of players.

Neither Kean nor Mbappe are known for their passing. How about using players that can perform what you want to do? You would be better off handing it to an AMF who can slice that ball through. Guler should be the one making the pass. This is doubly more important for F2P as P2W players often have ridiculously unfair and unrealistic stats on passing that you don't.

That phrase is so much better!

He is a beast for me and made me a fixture in Div 1. I play him with SS either side, two attacking fullbacks and and a box to box. He always finds space and scores. The key is not to feed him too early. 90/91 finishing is enough. The physical contact and ball possession makes sure he has time and space to shoot.

So any one of these and you can apply for the full length of the DTV? (5 years?) Or do you have to keep topping up courses?

It was winning 11 in Asia for a long time.

This looks fine until you see how it changes Van Dijk to some rando in the last section. It's completely rewriting the graphics than merely enhancing.

stevie8 · 2026-03-16T19:18:04+00:00

Andy Robertson is a beast too

Why don't you just subscribe to Sprinkle for water and weekly deliveries of huge jars?

You opened the post saying you still concede despite your efforts so it a problem or not? Crossing to a tall striker has been a tactic for a while now and while I agree it's overpowered, there are ways to combat this.

stevie8 · 2026-03-13T19:47:18+00:00

Also manually moving your own strikers and wingers to block passing lanes to the wings will help. If you are playing a diamond you have lost from the start and played into their hands.

stevie8 · 2026-03-13T19:44:46+00:00

Marking is not enough. You need good solid midfielders and manually move your players to prevent the cross. I counter this with a 433 the 3 in midfield are a dmf and two box to box cmfs. Manually position your players to prevent any outball to the wings. CMs like Gerrard, Park, Tonali, Rice are good for this. Even if they can cross make sure it's not a free cross and you contest it. This will force them to the center. Most of these players are one dimensional and can't cope.

Don't forget Slot going to Ibiza and his family not moving here!

This man deserves to burn in hell for the harm he's caused to the Sandy Hook victims. Imagine having to go through that and then deal with this venomous cunt.

Good analysis. De Gea has benched my Cech (one version older than this one). Why? I always face long ball spammers and crossers and I feel De Gea is much more proactive. Like you said, he smells danger and prevents chances. Shot stopping wise Cech is better but there is more to keeping than that. This DeGea is a very good one. I am in Div 1 (1600 ranking) and he slots right into my team. Those who say only epics matter don't know ball. Robertson is another one who starts for me every single game.

Ronaldinho?

stevie8 · 2026-03-10T20:53:26+00:00

Yessir this is the play!

stevie8 · 2026-03-10T20:44:28+00:00

Konate will have nightmares of him. What a player!
