I am going to pre-fix this post with an apology because I am not quite sure where this ought to go. (Its for the MLS Fantasy League done by SportsNet. Also, I think that the post will screw up my formating, but I don't care.) Best XI for 04/05/03 ==================== Formation: 5-3-2 MVP(s): Carlos Ruiz (95), Edson Buddle (95) Points Earned by Best XI: 465 Top Scores from Managers: 415 (2 Managers) Pstn Name Team Opponent Pts ==== ================= ============ ============= === Fw - Carlos Ruiz Los Angeles Columbus 95 Fw - Edson Buddle Columbus Los Angeles 95 Mf - Freddy Garcia Columbus Los Angeles 60 Mf - Duncan Oughton Columbus Los Angeles 20 Mf - Sasha Victorine Los Angeles Columbus 15 Df - Danny Calif Los Angeles Columbus 25 Df - Brian Dunseth Columbus Los Angeles 25 Df - Hong Myung-Bo Los Angeles Columbus 25 Df - Daniel Torres Columbus Los Angeles 25 Df - Mike Clark Columbus Los Angeles 25 Gk - Kevin Hartman Los Angeles Columbus 55 ------------------------------------------------------- The Best XI - FAQ Q. What is the Best XI? Every week, I search the MLS Fantasy League database for the best statistical performances from players. I then compile the best team that is possible within the rules of the game. (Which means I have to follow the formation rules.) I then provide a list of players and post it here. Q. What happens in the case of a tie with players points? I then take into account salary. Whatever player had the lowest salary at the beginning of the game day is the one who gets the nod. Q. What formats are legal in MLS Fantasy League? I have tested through and found the following formats to be legal: 5-4-1 5-3-2 4-5-1 4-4-2 4-3-3 3-5-2 3-4-3 And of course you always have to have a Goalkeeper. Q. What formation do you suggest using? I am not the one to be asking... I just know things, I don't win. But I will tell you that there are pros and cons to each lineup. Just remember that the people who end up getting paid off big are your guys who score or who help score. When picking a line-up, remember that. When picking midfielders, avoid midfielders who play only a defensive role. When picking defenders, pick defenders who are consistently being pulled up for Corner Kicks and those who take a very offensive attitude at points in the game. Q. What formation do you use? I am currently using a 3-4-3. -------------------------------------------------------
