Good Morning, My name is Thilo Kunkel and I am a sport researcher at Temple University. I am currently conducting research on the topic of professional soccer players and would like to get some fan perspective behind the project. I will share findings with all participants via email after the report has been developed. Participants also have a chance to win a $100 Amazon gift card. The survey is placed under the following link: http://templesthm.az1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_72MBIRioJ1VpPA9 Have a great day, Thilo
I am out straight after work til late tonight. I can do it tomorrow. I don't mind if you go ahead without me though. Apologies.
I think in the future we just need lineups rayher than a full detailed analysis as the play is mostly obvious etc and it causes huge delays
I agreed. I used to write a lot. Now, I just wrote a few this things to "sell" my team. Sometimes, I just cut and paste from previous drafts. Everyone should know why I put Laudrup behind the striker and Gento on the wing. I seriously doubt that any of us can convince anyone with something revolutionary. Even, if you identify yourself as Simeone, Conte, Pep or Mourinho hiding under a handler.... you would not convince me with anything dramatic.
@poetgooner @babaorum @Tom Stevens @Steller @thebigman @Karloski @socrates83 @el cabezon @PDG1978 @Excape Goat @Perú FC I have submitted Karloski's formation for him. Please rank the teams 1st to 11th. Deadline: Wednesday 21st December
Where are my arrows!!!! and why are Hagi and Boniek on the wrong sides??? Lol....thanks anyway dude. Apologies for not meeting the deadline.
I can change it if you want... but Boniek is ideal in that #11 wing-forward/support forward role (peak-Juve); and Hagi roving from right. I was actually impressed by your team so much that I was tempted to do the write-up as well
I'd say I've got one of the stronger spines in the draft. And Rijkaard is perfect cover to allow Beckenbauer to roam up the pitch, which is why I picked him second. There are some stronger teams in the offensive department, but I feel its a well balanced team.
Where do you want it ranked? Also for ease I think we should not vote for ourselves. I am probably going to rank as groups like this: 1-2 = Finalists 3-4th group Semifinalists 5-8th group 9-16th group
Considering there are 12 teams, but we're being asked to rank them 1-11th, I'd assume we're not suppose to rank ourselves.
It's a secret ballot type ranking system mate by PM to La-Maquina (but often people reveal some or all of their ranking afterwards).
True, but I can't vote for myself though In all seriousness, I'm not so sure it's as clear cut as that. I think the top 3 teams are very close to one another.
I'll say this (as most of the votes are in)...I think I have the 3rd\4th best team...but I may finish lower as I did not submit tactics. Above are 2 teams that stand out....and it is then easier to judge the 1 0r 2 positions that push 1 team above the other when deciding on those 2.
