We should just scrap the sim and base standings on tne ratings. I'm thrilled there's even one thing he liked about my retirement home lineup.

Took me a while to wrap my head around this one but as a 433ish it makes sense. Ultimate team just makes it look weird. I would honestly switch Canales and Tadic due to defensive work rates. Let Tadic start on the right and combine with Odegaard without a ton of defensive responsibility. Benzema is the perfect 9 for this team and Kingsley is really underrated when healthy. I always love a two left footed CB combo because it never happens in real life, even if I don’t really rate either of these two. If you dropped Tadic for another CB I think this team would absolutely cook in a 343
Does anyone know Owsley? He hasn’t been on since Friday and I sent him a text yesterday morning that he hasn’t responded to
Good call. He didn’t in sim threads that I recall but I see he mentioned he’d be in Mexico for this past weekends games. I’ve got 3 more rosters I’ll get to today then start on lineups and just hope he is back by the time I finish
I’ll happily do his tactics for him. Owsley congratulations on your narrow 3-2-3-2 with your CB’s all acting as strikers
Sorry dudes. Got back home late last night and have been slammed catching up with stuff all day. Have I been voted off the island yet? If I’m still in this thing, just keep me default to get up and running and I’ll add changes this weekend (or hopefully before) when I have some free time. My apologies for holding y’all up.
No hold up at all so far. I have rosters done except your final pick Haven’t started on lineups/tactics/roles yet because I’ve had shit going on that has delayed me Realistically looking at probably Monday start anyway
Hey for you guys, want to make sure I understand correctly. Attacking width is 1-100, not 1-10 so just confirming if these are supposed to be 1 or 10 for Zeb and 4 or 40 for Delap Is attacking width meant to be 16, or 65?
There are no LM/RM/LAM/CAM/RAM/DM in lineup but there are instructions for them. I used the LW/RW instructions for both wingers and used the CM instructions for all 3 mids. If you wanted something different, let me know which you wanted for each guy and I can adjust
There are instructions for LM/RM but no LM/RM in the lineup. If that was intended for Kostic and Otávio, I have them with the CM instructions so let me know if you want them having different instructions. Also no listed width for offense so I used the 69 you have on defense
Got what I needed from ma, Popovio, myself, Freak, and Willy nexus still need tactics Owsley Need your final pick and everything. Lineup, bench, tactics, roles, and any instructions
Tactics: Defending Style: Pressure on heavy touch Width: 50 Depth: 65 Offense Build Up Play: Balanced Chance Creation: Forward Runs Width: 70 Players in box: 4 Corners: 3 Free Kicks: 3
Owsley has until 11:59pm EDT to submit his formation and setup or he’s given Graham Potter’s tactics by default
SCP 4-3-3 (2) Simón; Tagliafico, Laporte, Stones, Mukiele; Goretzka, Tonali, Pellegrini; Vini Jr, Kolo Muani, Dembélé Captain: Goretzka LC: Pellegrini RC: Dembélé Short FK: Pellegrini Long FK: Pellegrini PKs: Pellegrini Subs: Darwin Kamada Nacho Hjobjerg Biraghi Alvarez Rulli Reserves: Elustondo Vitinha Gnonto Hateboer Maximiano (3rd GK SugarShaun) I will add to this later on with further tactics (leave everything default for now), but this should get us going.
SugarShaun Owsley PMd me saying he’ll be busy the rest of the day but wanted to make sure you got his formation correct
There isn’t a default for tactics stuff. I guess balanced and just middle everything but not really default. With the competitions set up separately it’s going to be easier to wait until I have everything than to set up and have to change on each competition and wait until you’re home so it saves
Not if you run a different formation from them. So I guess yeah it would default to balanced and everything in the middle but not having the info up front creates more work so I’d rather just have it up front
This reads weird to me also. The way you have it with GK up top would make me think it was RB, CB, CB, LB but Tagliafico is first so is it the opposite or are you playing him at RB?
Can we just move this along. If he's not going to take the 30 seconds to clear this up move forward and he can make the adjustments the next sim. Do what you think is right Shaun and lets get this thing rolling
I was waiting for the tactics because if I don’t do them upfront and start without them, I have to do it in every competition later. If he’s away, then I have to wait until he’s home for it to save. So it’s multiplying my work if I don’t have them upfront. I’ll probably just start today either way but I’m also trying to avoid creating extra work
I like owsley but he gets what he gets at this point. Also make it even more hilarious if he ends up dominating.
I would be shocked if he didn't just accidently do it backwards. I'm sure he wants the left players playing on the left side.
As I said, the lineup isn’t the issue. It’s the missing tactics that creates the extra work for me. I’m over this
