Mexico

I consider normal against them, but at first I want to see if we can think of something with pic. However, if we think they will mots I think we may need to normal.

Against their normal, I think we can win with pic.

Btw, nice to see you back here. It is really important for me to see a lot of ideas as in this way I have better chances to find the optimal tactics for games. Also, sometimes I can see what seems to be the obvious option and may decide to surprise the opponent:).

So what are your thoughts so far about this game...It is very important for us to win this one, especially if we can double it with 4-6 more points in the double away cymru-portugal.

IMO we shouldn't have problems beating them. They play constantly with a very weak attacks and don't switch coaches. Moreover, we have a great advantage in TS and play at home.

Their sqad is full and I don't think they will make any substitutions before Friday's game.

I bet they'll play PiC and some defensive tactic (maybe pressing) just to avoid high defeat.

More information will come after Friday's training update.

Sorry for the trouble, but do you think you can put all the players in one column(that is the tabs for each positions are fine, but for example for defenders I would prefer to not have to scroll to the right too:D, especially since on Fridays I use a netbook:P).

Done.

Awesome, thank you.

The update hrf without the captain and python. I am considering bring another 20yo forward in form, but I hope to find a way to avoid that. The forms for the key 19yo wingers and forwards is bad at the moment:(.

It seems mexico removed one of their coaches and called another defender...

They seem to have low midfield. Only formidable very high at home with normal and 5 inners.

I think they will pic. They have quite low TS. If we play normal, we can afford 343 with a winger to get two brilliant attacks, together with SP taker this should crack their defence enough times :)

Indeed. They removed one of their offensive coaches. This guy was controversional, so the TS drop is not that big as it could be ;)
Anyway, even without this change their TS would have dropped tomorrow (if they would play today normal with us).
I estimate their TS is currently around calm high-max.

I updated the file with respect to today's training update, so you can observe how the form changed.

Training update and recently called defender support my previous thoughts about their possible style of play against us. I think they'll play 4-5-1 PiC with one side attack (FTW and winger are in solid form).

I don't know how the form changed in our team, but I'd be in favour of PiC with nice attacks.

We don't have 3 forwards in good form and also I'm a little afraid to play with just 3 inners, especially since they do have 8 inners, now almost all in reasonable form...

So how would you play this game?

3 inners may indeed be a bit risky. But after what we've seen in their previous games (formidable very high midfield at 352 5xIM home normal) 3,5 should definitely be enough - what I mean is 343 with Włócik, Bucki and Mokrzycki (defensive) in attack. With offensive coach this gives more or less two outstanding side attacks if we use defender as WBn, using second winger as WBo and/or IMtw will pump side attack even higher.

But do you trust 2outs attacks to crack at least wc-sn defence(since they have another inner in the squad now, I guess they may even play 541), especially since supernatural attack didn't do too much damage...?

Also, what is better 2imo, and 2eim, or imtw,im,eim and fwdef(cpt) for this game...?

They always played PiC in away games. They should realise that in today's game only MOTS can help them to catch up with our midfield. But MOTS is definitely not a reasonable choice at all ;)

I see it's sunny today :) So I'd propose 3-4-3 PiC with 3 inners and offensive coach.

----------------------------Pyton (GK)---------------------------------------
Bokwa (def) ---- Bucki (F extra) ---- Sowul (TM) ------- Jaroszek (def)
Semik (off) ----- Gibaszek (IM n) --- Szot (IM n) ------- Banaszczyk (IM extra)
Włócik (nor) --- Mokrzycki (def)

I'm not afraid of Mexico's attacks. The only problem is to guess which wing attack they'll pick. Anyhow, we always block at least their 2 attacks ;)

2x outstanding is a little low indeed, but we won't get anywhere higher without limiting ourselves to 3 inners. That's why I'm not sure if we should leave side attack at outstanding - we may pump it by WBo and IMtw.

The only way to have more than 3 inners and a winger and 3 standard forwards is a CDo. Something like this:

GK Pyton
---
WBn Basta
CDo Mokrzycki
WBd Sowul
---
WGo Kołosiński
IMn Szot
IMn Strzeboński
IMe Banaszczyk
---
FWn Bucki
FWn Włócik
FWe Bednarz

This gives us brilliant attacks.
