Time to prepare for Portugal, in a game where a win basically gives us qualification to the world cup.

I hope this time you will come with more ideas...

So... Can I start whole waterfall of tactical ideas? So its mine idea:
3-5-2, MOTS, AOW

WBoff-CD-WBdef
WGoff-IMtw-IM-IM-IM
FWtm-TDF

One wing which should be crushing. Of course side of wing is our choice. For me attack is the best defence for this match

Formations available: 3 basic ones at solid, 532 at inadequate, 433 and 541 at poor

Satisfied TS, wonderful confidence. Our team spirit makes up for some of the midfield advantage, but not for all of it.

They use a lot of form training. Their 20yos train it nearly all the time. They have 21 players, 3 overaged coaches and 2 free slots.

Their team:

They have lower skills than we due to really excessive use of form training. I think we should train form for a lot of 20yos for this game, so that we close the gap we have there.

The most important question is: can they mots us? I think we should mots them, as next 3 games are against Ecuador, Saudi Arabia and Russia, so we will build back some TS for last two games (which probably will not be needed anyway, or only for less painful removal of 20yos :)

Thanks for the update. I will ask general for a couple of the 20yo's; unfortunately some users don't want to do it, and I have to accept their decision even though this makes our team weaker than it could be.

As far as mots is concerned, even though the next games are easy, I am thinking about playing pic or normal, since after this game I also want to remove about 4-5 players from the squad. Also, I don't like playing mots at the middle of the season (except for exceptional situations) since it can affect us in the future (and for example the game against saudi arabia is certainly not trivial, especially with the removal of the players).

We need to win 4 of the next 6 games to be at the world cup: Ecuador, Saudi Arabia, Russia and one of HK and Mexico, whoever is eliminated at that point. That is why even pic is acceptable this week, especially since I feel we can get a good result against Portugal even with this approach. Anyway, I want to hear as many opinions as possible as we still have a couple of days ahead of us.

Do you have any idea when they dropped to satisfied ts?

Thanks!

We have tool and peaople to collecting TS data. I thought You knew it.

[userid=8331573] is team leader of this project. Look at his nick - You shouldn't have problem to reach an agreement ;-)

Thanks:), I will talk to him.

Hopefully we'll find an excellent coach for our 19yo inner too, and convince more users to train general:).

Which coach (attacking or neutral) did they use vs Hongkong? What was their team confidence?
Kind of info that would be useful to estimate their possible ratings on Friday.

Wysłany: Wto 23:41, 09 Mar 2010

I wasn't online, but I'm pretty sure it was an offensive coach, especially since they had a withdrawal pretty early in the game. Their confidence was strong before the game.

They PINned, right?

Wysłany: Śro 1:37, 10 Mar 2010

Offensive coach for sure, neutral in this lineup and pullback at 38' gives central defence more than twice as good as central attack and they were far from this :)

Wysłany: Śro 3:31, 10 Mar 2010

Yes, they pined.
