All Time Premier League Fantasy Draft: QF - Skizzo vs coolredwine | Voting closed

Way too high. Sorry to be anal about it, but I always take formation sheets as an indicator of how a manager sees the game laid out and how they expect it to pan out. Yours tells me all the wrong things, it tells me you are trying to play a game that doesn't suit you but your oppo.

Still not right, Hamman being slightly deeper than Wise leads me to infer there's suppposed to be space between the lines that is significant enough for their relative positions to be different. If that's how you are playing this, you are getting destroyed by Silva and Ronaldo.

I like crw's side, he just needs a more creative CM and play a proper counter attacking 442. As he's setup Suarez, Ronaldo and Silva will be devastating.

Skizz would win 3-1.

As shown by the last formation and this one, I don't really like to keep the players in flat lines when drawing them up on the board - a lot of arrows being an overkill too, marking their movements all over the place. IMO, this way gives a little more idea about their actual playing styles. Might be just me, but in this formation, I see Hamann as the one who sits back and Wise as the one who will make late runs. In an actual field, that's how players do line up, one a little further than the other so as to not intersect their ranges with each other.

Also, in Skizzo's team, with Silva playing as a proper AM, did he really play in that position with City. From what I have seen, he has mostly started out wide left and then drifted in the middle. So which peak are we counting? Moot question, but still.

He was comfortable all across those front 3 positions, but he showed some of his most devastating form when pushed centrally.

Good game @coolredwine

thought that front two of yours might have swung a few more people your way.

A leaf from Pippa's (gone but never forgotten) book of how to setup a 4-4-2/4-4-1-1 could have been helpful. Beautiful, and crystal clear.

As soon as I saw speed in cm spot as a lopsided diamond with kanchelskis wide on the other side....regardless of the instructions...I felt he'd get some stick for it.

All the best for the upcoming rounds.
