Sheep Draft R1: MJJ/GodShaveTheQueen vs. 2mufc0 - Voting closed
- Thread starter green_smiley
- Start date
That's how we've been operating lately, and you're a experienced drafter, are you really trying to defend double teaming?
Are you really complaining about somebody making three posts and calling it double teaming? Despite the fact that I wasn't even online? How is that double teaming.
Every draft has different rules and we play by the rules chosen by the mod.
You still haven't answered the xavi question, third time asking btw.
World cup 2014 shows that it's quite easy to defend against this type of play without any width. At Barcelona it was different as he had expansive full backs like Alves and Alba stretching the play.
So your plan is to hope xavi suddenly becomes 34? As far as draft strategies go I would say it's not the best one.
And you csn atleast read the three posts you complained sboug from Queen where he addressed the lack of width comment.
Stop mentioning Müller, who scored 1 in 1 against him
Stop mentioning Müller, who scored 1 in 1 against him
I saw the highlights of that game, his partner loses muller. He was marking somebody else.
That's not the point. He, as a part of the defensive unit, failed. He literally did not stop Müller from scoring — you can't use a 1 in 1 stat as a proof that he handled him.
Can't blame him for his partners mistakes, a player can play well but still concede.
Tagging the managers who haven't voted.

My opponent has no plan on how to stop xavi other than hoping a 34 year old version turns up. Vornoin is following baggio/kempes which will just leave Effenberg against xavi and van hanegem. The two players you don't want to give space to
Past min desperation bump
Xavi was 30 in 2010.
What a car crash of a thread.
Congrats and you said 2014.
Oh shit yeah, meant 2010
The world cup they won?
for a moment I thought our record with Moby for a match game could be shattered
MJJ/GTSQ was part of the top 8 so unlucky in the draw; like myself by the way
Thanks for this great answer.
Surprising that he was MotM given the fact that his team lost and conceded 3 goals.
Let's say I'm influenced by Jose who said in 2016:
Addressing the Bonhof vs Stoichkov flank
Firstly, I think the perception that a full back that attacks is automatically going to leak goals is one assumption that the draft games need to lose. Is the risk higher? Of course it is. Apart from the player's own capabilities, that is where the setup comes into picture. The support cast around the player should be able to neutralize any defensive risks during his forays forward. We have Nedved on the right firstly. That is as good a help a full back can get defensively. But one thing we mentioned in the OP but has been overlooked is that Hulshoff was flanked by the attack minded Suurbier at Ajax and covered well for him. This is something which he has done in the past and should come naturally to him. With Hapgood tucking in as well, it should hardly leave any gaps. Just because a wing back is played, lets not be unfair and suggest that the flank is a goal getter, at least when the support cast is sound.
Now coming to Bonhof himself, this is a guy who played CB (libero) in a European Cup final (against Liverpool in 1977), his team lost the final and so good was his performance that he still ended up winning the man of the match. He was not a defensive nut by any sense of the imagination. His mobility and speed is amazing, anyone who has seen his famous assist for Muller will tell you that, and that will help with fast recovery if and when the ball is lost. So we can either drop Bonhof or can make it as defensively sound as we can. We choose the latter

Mourinho Prefers 'Specialists' Over 'Multi-Functional' Players
Jul 5, 2016 7:54 PM
Jose Mourinho spoke about the types of players he's looking to sign with Manchester United.
"I can try to make you understand the profile. We made a nucleus of four priorities, four positions, to give a certain balance to the squad," said Mourinho.
"To give a certain push in terms of the qualities I need and want. As you know, the ones with more vision. I am more a manager that likes specialists rather than multi-functional players because I am clear in my approach. Multi-functional players – you need one or two if you have three central defenders injured. But, basically, I want specialists. We decided four targets. We have three at the moment. Until we don’t have the fourth, we are still working hard. Myself, the structure, Mr Woodward, the owners. When we have the fourth we will breathe. The market will be open. We will get the fourth before 31 August, and we will be stable but the market will be open.”
Didn’t vote because I genuinely couldn’t separate the teams and think it reflects in the score
Unfortunate for you and @GodShaveTheQueen
Wow, I thought MJJ was winning despite my vote. Surprising results. I like his team, not the tactics.
I thought the two teams were very close, I gave my vote to 2mufc0 due to GK. I have seen on more than one occasion Casillas win a game on his own with a worse defense than his one in this team, whereas Ederson isn't mostly known for his shot stopping ability (he is good at it but his main quality is his distribution).
