Ok, here's what I'd do...

3-4-3 with...

one WB TowardsMiddle, 2 CD.

Winger-defensive with a speciality-IM/Off-IM/Off-WingerTMiddle with a speciality.

3 Forwrds.

This will:
-Get 80%-90% posession
-Give you a Formi Central attack, probably two goals, out of my own experience againts his WC Central Def.

-2 winges with a speciality, so probably one SE goal.

-a very strong central defence of your own. His strong attack may score once.

-one wing that is well defended, you probably shouldn't waste the defence on that wing by playing an offensive winger for inad wingattack vs. Magni+defence.
-one wing that is a gaping hole, he will score there, but only once.

The match ends:

-

Congrats on your first vic in the 5th!

Am I reading this correctly?

winger def - IM off - IM off - WTM

If one of my forwards with passable wing gets miraculously in shape again I could (and should, because there's no drawback with passable wing) play with a FTW.

Hmm, still been thinking about it. I'd not waste any energy on the wing attack, that takes something away from Central attack or wing defence.

Yes. Do you have a winger that can play defensive at all? Even solid def is a major contribution to that sides defence...

---------------------------------------------------------------------

My own match...

I am playing a 13yr old somthing major daytrader who is being helped by several IVth class teams...he is trading roughly 15 players per week, and has some major reserves. He is training defending as I am but plays 5-3-2 with 3 IM's! and a excellent Central attack....he also plays Counter sometimes but I do not expect him to do that against me. No probs so far. I was thinking 5-3-2 CA with 2 WBTM --> Titanic central defence. and hope for a decent Counter for 1-0...

Now...he bought a 2M winger today...that sucks. he may play 5-3-2 with 2 IM's (like me) but his players are simply a little better all over except for my defense that is a little bit better then his, namely:
his: formi-magni-formi
mine: formi-WC/Titanic-Outstanding

Now, I cannot focus all om Central defence...so I am thinking 5-4-1 Pressing, 2 innermids and one FTW, playing one Off winger on that side. The otehr winger will play normal as he is not good enough to break a Formi defence. Is that an Idea? I do not like 5-4-1 CA as the 7% downgrade on MF is quite heavy then...

Shabbaman · 28-05-2006, 13:48

I do have a mid with passable def/inad wing, but as the rest of my team he isn't in shape. My offensive wing (well, passable wing, brilliant PM, how about that for a winger) isn't. I guess I'm playing with an offensive wing and 3 IM, one of them defending. Or something.

Unfortunately my FTW is out of shape. No FTW FTW for me.

Shabbaman · 11-06-2006, 10:17

I'm in doubt (as usual). I'm playing away this week, and if I don't pic I might win the midfield with a very slight margin. However, if I pic I'll surely win next week at home. Unfortunately my defense is out of shape, so I can't aim for a draw. I missed out on a magnificent defender (in wretched shape though) yesterday because I was out of money. He went for 1.2M...

Kingreno · 11-06-2006, 10:39

1.2M for a Magni defender!!??? man...

ProPain · 11-06-2006, 12:32

hmm, in that case I can buy 2 of those. Might be worth while to upgrade my wingbacks

So shabba how do you think your chances are winning at home next week if you dont pic?

Shabbaman · 11-06-2006, 13:23

His home midfield is passable low, away that's inad very low. My midfield could be passable low away, and if I pic I'll get solid low next week, and inadequate this week. Unless the bastard's going to play counter all of a sudden (he can't/won't) that's a sure win.

The problem is that I don't know "who to beat" in this series to become 6th. I do know that I don't win much with just a draw (or two draws).

I'm leaning towards piccing now.

P.S. KR, TC just showed me another magni with weak form for 1.3. There are a lot of unsold players on the market now. Hurray for all the forward trainers, the defense market has crashed as well!

Kingreno · 11-06-2006, 13:35

I know, hopefully solid/excellent passing and/or winger will still sell decent. That is World Class Defending added to that as well.
