You're looking at it upside down: it's a 442 with the goalkeeper playing as a super-advanced striker, to confuse the opposition's defence. It's Guardiola's new genius tactic for next season (but don't tell anyone!...) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently in 2016, and... erm, I think I've broken the game. As if Tottenham winning the league wasn't unrealistic enough, just look at the goals for and against columns! Needless to say, the race for the Golden Boot wasn't exactly the most exciting. Hmm... At least Deadpool chipped in with a few goals. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, this is actually a pretty good sign that Owen would go on to be quite fast (who knew?!)

Bigpapa42 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Not really funny, but a bit... weird, perhaps? Managing in Russia. signed a few first day newgen free agents at the start. The ones from outside Russia can't join until they are 18 so they are trial, so they can train and play youth matches. Didn't pay a lot of attention until I realized they were playing an attacking right winger, who I was retraining to be a standard right winger, at striker. And he was doing.... okay... Its only under 19, but he ended up with something like 39 goals. New season, he has 9 gaols in 4 matches at the same level. Its fun and I'm now retraining him as a striker. In the past when I've had strikers who overperformed their skills, there was usually still something you could point to - outstanding physicals, workrate, off the ball, etc. Not so much with Mr. David. Also, the game changed his skin color since this screenie so that's a bit amusing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
