What would you propose as a good style of OP that tells you how the side will play?
it doesnt have to be anything special but just so people can imagine how the team dynamics would work.What would you propose as a good style of OP that tells you how the side will play?
Yeah I was lazy as feck to be honest, but it is mainly due to people not bothering reading them or just ignoring what is in them and making their own decisions about how your side will function.On the back of @Himannv post from earlier, shall we do something about the non existent tactics in recent drafts? For example lets take the other SF game:
@Michaelf7777777 with pretty much standard blueprint of most OPs that we all used from time to time, if not all the time. @P-Nut on the lazy route but considering the state of drafts recently, nobody can blame him. In the end, we found feck all about how the team should play and that should pretty much be the whole point of the OP.....
Something should be done, either via punishment of votes or with rewards im the RR or both. Who knows, it might bring some life back into games
Well this is kind of what I have in mind. I’d prefer option a or b because c is usually hypothetical vague nonsense.it doesnt have to be anything special but just so people can imagine how the team dynamics would work.
3 options that come to mind:
a) full remake - basically you dont have to say anything and we go with the original team dynamics(obviously if you use some obscure team then post something about them)
b) remake with your own touch - just add the changes into OP
c) your own stuff - explain how team defends, how attacks, individual roles etc.
This was part of what became so frustrating for me, you would put the most effort into the OP, trying to get the visualisation correct and someone would just say "he looks too far back according to that grpahic" or "such and such would just play like this ..." like professional footballers at the very peak of the game wouldn't be able to listen to instruction.Yeah I was lazy as feck to be honest, but it is mainly due to people not bothering reading them or just ignoring what is in them and making their own decisions about how your side will function.
I think a template should probably be used and everyone has to submit using the same template. Should make it more uniform across the board
Well you got me curious where are those stats?Have some mesmerising Messi stats from WC Russia. Will post it tonight.
And yes, you are still welcome.
Also why are you getting so agressive and insecure?
Am not aggressive mate, but when you feck me in polite way...Well you got me curious where are those stats?
Also why are you getting so agressive and insecure? No one brought up Messi but you, i just shared what i deemed to be valuable information on Maradona.
Which is not hard to understand that Messi answer trigger you. Here is the stat of your king.Thank you for your enlightening contribution
GOATMessi covered 31,618 kilometres in Russia, and of these, 13,398 or 58 percent of the total distance, was made at a speed between 0 and 7km/h - walking pace.
Twenty-five percent of the total, 8,134 kilometres saw him reach a speed between 7 and 15km/h.
Above 25 km/h he covered 612 metres with a top speed of 28.37 km/h recorded in one of the 28 sprints he made in the game against France.

Wow, that looks amazing.Anyone looked at this before? 50 years of World Cup doppelgangers. It's a database of every players performance in various areas from 66-2018, and a selection of other players with the most similar performance. Some of the labels they end up giving players are dubious, but i found it quite entertaining.

no surprises my man Demyanenko's 82 performance is almost identical to Cafu's 98.

Yes i'm familiar with that website, the numbers are provided by Opta. Its the only source of reliable data for players who played before the 2000's even if the sample size is small.Anyone looked at this before? 50 years of World Cup doppelgangers.

why? you have a chance from first hand to witness the greatnessAm I the only one who seems to enjoy draft football more than this depressing real world football?
Considering that you're the one who'se been throwing a tantrum, while no one talked about Messi in the first place should give you a clue on who is getting triggered in this conversation.Which is not hard to understand that Messi answer trigger you. Here is the stat of your king.
Tarantini covered for Passarella on the left side of the pitch.Passarella slept with Tarantini's wife.
In fact, if he really did like he did in this clip, Passarella would easily kill him. Don’t mess with Kaiser.Biographical drama isn't a documentary though. There's a fine line and it's way beyond it.
good idea, the less points you have the more benefits you get in future drafts? Choosing a place in draft order and similar stuffWe should have a score maintained across drafts starting now.
Basically -
R1 exit - 0 points
QF exit - 1 point
SF exit - 2 points
Runners up - 4 points
Winner - 8 points
So the last game of R1 will have only neutral votes? We might actually have our first 0-0 draft gameA small quality of life improvement for future drafts should be that managers thay have already advanced shouldn't be allowed to vote in current round games.
Agree and agree /appreciate for both sideshow can anyone watch city vs/and liverpool and then build a team with 2 or 3 passengers is beyond me, pisstake of the highest order
Skip to 00:25 in case timestamp isn't going to work. What a ridiculous, ridiculous goal, I literally haven't seen anything similar in all of my time watching football.
Passarella had played in Menotti’s gung ho 4-3-3 system, which was probably very offensive-minded tactics. Menotti was a very modern technician or you could say he was ahead of his time pressing, very direct and offensive instinct were part of his tactics. He usually used offside-control in his defensive tactics(which was opposite to Bilardo) and Passarella despite being a libero, he was a commander and leader of his defensive line in back4. He would be suited in today game for sure.It's hard to say because there isn't a big pool of centre-backs who have either played super high or who played under the modern offside rule. Pre-Sacchi most teams weren't particularly compact, unless they sat deep. The only exceptions off the top of my head would be Hansen's Liverpool, and maybe Kyiv and Holland. So that rules out a lot of great defenders from the debate. I think the change to the offside rule between passive and active players came into force around '94 (the Bebeto/Romario goal against Holland at the WC being the first high profile example) so Baresi would have been exposed to some of that at the end of his career. Post-94 none of the great Italian defences positioned themselves that high, so that again rules out a few contenders. Stam and De Boer were probably the most noticeable exponents towards the end of the 90s. It's not really until Pep came along that more elite teams defended regularly on the half-way line. That throws Pique, Puyol, Boateng, Ramos, Silva and Varane into the conversation, and Van Dijk certainly stands at the top of that group.
Those are the only guys who were really proven and performed in high-line game scenarios. But equally I think the greatest defenders who weren't as proven in such a system, but still stood out for their genius in reading the game and for defending the space in behind, could do a great job too. I reckon Moore, Figueroa, Beckenbauer and Passarella would have all had the nous and proactive instincts to pull it off.
