i think this year too we can do a bit more strategically. we never really had enough folks together and cohesive enough last year to really get into some more advanced kind of stuff. i.e. having left backs and right backs pushing into the attack but having some midfielders dropping deep to cover them. one interesting thing will be to see how important having a human keeper is. i know in NHL a few years ago nobody played goalie - but if your team had a good keeper it was a huge advantage.
yeah, we really just played street soccer. Constant pressure and aggressive, quick runs. We never really setup an attack. We got to the point where everyone wanted to score goals and wouldn't stay in a position. Then when you add all the new guys in that have never played or even seriously watched a soccer game, strategy was definitely thrown out of the window. It should be a lot better this year.
Drifter, I assume Mutt is not coming back. So will you be moderating this forum? I am very interested in playing in an online league. However, I have no interested in playing in something that starts with a full draft or is part of a club playing on a team with others. My interest lies solely with controlling my own professional club team. That being said, I would like to know your involvement. I would like to start another thread and see who has interest in online FIFA league. I am sure there are others that have similar interest. If not, so be it.
I don't have a sliver of interest in being a part of a league. All I will be doing is the online clubs feature with everyone's virtual pro.
