Bedese Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 Youth Intake Day! That's a quality LB prospect for our level. Solid defensively, surprisingly capable going forward and decent physicals. Excited about him. We could actually do with a new starting keeper, but I have no idea if he'll grow good enough. Some of his stats are questionable at best. He's quick. Tackle him and he'll nut you. Hard. I'm a big fan of less technically gifted players who make up for it with hard work, determination and aggression. Shame he's only got one out of the three.

Bedese Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 Season Review! League The bad part of the Sammarinese league system, as the eventual winners of the league won just 8/21 games in the regular season. We went down to 10 in the final, threw away a lead with five minutes to go in Extra Time and lost it on penalties. Cup That's one trophy, at least. Schedule Squad Other Teams: La Florita lost 4-1 to Stjarnan from Iceland, Tre Penne lost 5-0 to Dundalk and Libertas lost 5-0 to Differdange from Luxembourg. Next year: I hate the Europa Qualifiers. I think our chances of making the groups are incredibly slim. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Jellico73 At the end of the season, you should get a message that pops up in your inbox telling you your club ranking (on the same day that you get the league ranking one).

Bedese Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 Youth Intake Day! I haven't been this excited about a prospect in a while. He's a winger with decent technicals. not awful mentals, and is rapid. Here's the thing - right now, we don't use wingers. So, we have two options: Change from our narrow 4-3-3 that's served us well to move to something like a 4-4-2. Or... we could retrain him as a striker. Pace absolutely kills at this level, and his attributes for a striker aren't too shabby. Thoughts, guys? A 6'6 targetman who's actually decent at football? Sign me up!

In similar situations in the Faroes, I was retraining guys like this as strikers or centre mids, mostly strikers where I found the pace made them more useful. Perhaps have him try to learn "likes to round keeper", which should make his finishing less important. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkehwbu Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I use 4-4-2 and it works a dream for me, i'd suggest switching to that with and advanced forward and a poacher, with a BWM and DLP in midfield.

noikeee Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 That's a tough one because he's clearly more fitting as winger, but your tactic is working out as it is. Perhaps retrain him as advanced forward? That still trains up crossing, I believe. So you can make him into a versatile player that fits both positions/roles, and then choose between whatever works better for you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't train crossing, but it does train dribbling, which is the area he'd need to work on as a winger, anyway. He's going onto an AF training schedule for now, and we can re-assess the situation as he develops. Thanks for all the suggestions guys! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
