Paul can you send me a NO sheet please as i'm picking my team blind most weeks not knowing who i'm playing......although i ain't doing to bad so far

sure

Reality Managers dont change their tactics from week to week and if you get the next opponent report you should be able to work where they are vulnerable and exploit that, giving you a good chance to beat reality managers.

okay I'll do PLymouth quickly we just about have time...

Cheers Paul

I should've played some friendlies this week, never mind.
'
it;d be great if it were possible to have a full length match report for a friendly, though i appreciate that this will probably make the run time slower, otherwise it'd already have been in place by now. even if you could have one full length friendly per week it would be helpful. I just dont seem to get anything from friendlies ~ from a tactical perspective i mean, not from the other gains of friendlies.

would be intrigued to know how it worked out between fulham and Brum.

honestly thought Aguero would go nuts on me,

but also hoped that the midfield 3 tiago,palcios and milner would stifle him out.

whilst the front 3 giving me a chance to grab something would love to know if the game plan did that.

or if i just got lucky?

Everton 451 WHV5 Plymouth 433 FAS5

Moyesy plays a very defensive midfield

LHdef -- DYdef -- RHdef

-- ALdef -- ARdef --

Plymouth have DL AM DR

so in this case your DYs would have been in direct matchup with AL and AR

DL Rosicky AE9 DR8.5 TK8 vs AR Sandro TA9

DR Nasri AE9.5 DR9 TK9 vs AL Bilyaletdinov TA6.5

so Rosicky vs Sandro would have been fairly even whilst Nasri should have creamed Bily at every chance, so you an edge here.

Rooney TM AE9.5 CO9.5 DR9.5 TK9.5 would of had the freedom of the park tbh.

Thanks Paul, in which case either someone has had a shocker or played a blinder for Everton - or I must have just been unlucky?

Aguero's a new signing to be fair so it'll be a few weeks before he's fully up and running!

Any info on how Suarez got on as PM would be very helpful and appreciated

Upfront ST Robinho AE9.5 SH9.5 S2 anelka AE9 SH9.5

were up against

CR Ben-Haim TA9.5 and CL Toure TA9.5

so this is the area in which you probably struggled as these four players are well matched in critical skills. With only Nasri being a standout target for Rooney, and as DY he would have been shooting from distance and their

GK Gordon RF9 SS9 may have had a good game.

You only won 2 of the 5 matchups so it might have been better to put SOS on Rooney and let the others just act as decoys, that might have worked well.

Ok thanks Paul - great insight into whats going on - some defo things to think about thats for sure!

I just played a practice match with Rooney set to SOS and you won 2-0 Rooney and Anelka scoring.

I havent printed anything off yet so I cant comment on what players actually did only on how well or how poorly various things may have worked, but I can certainly look at Birmingham Fulham tomorrow if that helps.

That'd,be great Paul, certainly liven up waiting in for the delivery man to arrive!

thanks, that would be appreciated, i get the feeling though i got a little lucky, if Aguero wasnt fully trained tactically or in tune with his colleges then now would be a good time to come up against brum if hes controlling everything.

smash and grab i feel.

its special action code FU for a full friendly report, I havent printed one for awhile but I think it runs to about 5 pages so will cost about £1.50.

Just finished reading through all the comments after about 30mins! Trying to get my head around all the bonuses and numbers etc.

head is spinning

i was half expecting Koscienly too come up with my winner! haha. but im happy with Rvp and Tevez on the scoresheet again. there chemistry is doing me wonders.

when you get chance tomoz paul, fancy doing a recap on arsenal?

No Stu, He was my TM in MIX but it works better with a PM so i tried him out there to see how it went. If i can find a quality PM i will move Suarez to CF

learn something new every day. cheers.

If anyone has got time on their hands it would be good to make a thread with all the little golden nuggets of information Paul has given us these last 3 turns....Just saying:D

Fook me!!

Incredible, mind boggling stuff.... it's no wonder I don't know what I'm doing!!

A round of applause Paul, this is amazing and interesting stuff. Thanks for the analysis of my game much appreciated. I'll bet if all of this was in a rulebook it'd stretch to a bazillion pages!

its a testament to paul that even 16 years later i'm finding stuff out that i never thought, knew or considered before.

Thanks Paul very useful knowledge about how to approach the next game.

Yeah I will sort this out mate. Will try and put this into a PDF for people to read.

After me and Gaz got through a bottle of merlot post game, and he mistook the picture of Steve Walsh with the Coca-cola cup for Gareth Gates... We decided that an in-depth telestrater review of the Foxes v Chelsea would be very much appreciated...

It's pretty apparent that Suarez handed Poulsen his ass... But a Hansen style post-match ripping would help us both if possible...

Also, Paul... If possible, could you look at my language groups for me?

In terms of nationality,

Krul (Hol)
Poulsen (Den)
Park (Kor)
Kalinic (Cro)
Pavlyuchenko (Rus)

am I understanding correctly that because Pav & Park will have played more than 24 games for me, that their languages won't be hampered?. Krul will undoubtedly speak English having been in the English game since age 16 or something.. All the Scandinavians speak better English than Will...so hopefully just Kalinic falling into his own group?

Any thoughts massively appreciated
(thanks Paul)
