I just posted everyone’s after Matchday 15. Should be on the previous page There’s only been 1 match since
Can you swap Demirbay for Banega, move Sane to LCB, and swap Matip for Orban at RCB? It would seem with Banega not being in the top 15 in rating that he's been quite shit.
SugarShaun can I switch my lineup/formation? I need to do something about Thiago and Verratti being my worst players.
Absolutely. Free to make changes however you want. About to sim now so it’ll probably be tomorrow but you can either post in tactics thread, here, or send me PM/Groupme
Actually zeberdee there are like 6 matches before yours so if you have time now you’ll probably have it in time Oops my bad you’re away this match and next so it’ll be a couple days anyway unless there’s a forced change
just switch to a 4-3-3 attack and take off Bakayoko for Havertz who will be at CAM. keep tactics whatever they are.
Sorry I saw after I said that, that you’re away so won’t be able to anyway but I’ll add it to my list.

This was probably our best chance at a POTM but can't argue with Kane after two goals against the top team in the league in a 2-1 win Odd. We shut him down.
He started the season really hot, went a while without many goals but is now back tied for lead in the golden boot race. Need Hazard to get going again
So a thing occurred to me. They don’t do TOTW based on where guys are playing but by their listed position. So you’ve got no one eligible at RM, RB, or RM and have 3 guys competing for 1 LB spot. TOTW doesn’t necessarily always make sense anyways but the lineup strategy possibly costing accolades (TOTS too)
How nice of the league to take a month off and give Oh's AARP squad of misfielded geriatrics a chance to recover. Shaun's really bottled this sim
Only one player was injured on the Roar at the time of this break and there were discussions between the managers as to whether he would be placed on the bench anyways.
Nothing to do with injuries and everything to do with thenaverage squad age being 47 and your players having terrible stamina ratings as a result. Guys with shit stamina getting worn down as the season progresses has had a notable impact on past sims.
I was actually watching this in December with the schedule being a bit packed and it seemed to have very little impact. Guys were all pretty much full stamina. Also for them, benching Boateng for Otamendi got them younger and Marcelo has extremely high stamina still so they’re better in that area than I expected
I have to take every opportunity I can to shit on oh while he's here since he's usually busy spending 350 days a year visiting tropical locales.
