I am thinking about running a 1-7-2 with 7 IMs against my first league opponent. What do you guys think? I would use the following players: Keeper TSI = 57 920 , 23 years, solid form Has inadequate experience and weak leadership abilities Stamina: excellent Keeper: titanic Playmaking: disastrous Passing: disastrous Winger: disastrous Defending: disastrous Scoring: disastrous Set pieces: disastrous Defender TSI = 3 280 , 26 years, passable form Has weak experience and weak leadership abilities [Unpredictable] Stamina: excellent Keeper: disastrous Playmaking: wretched Passing: inadequate Winger: inadequate Defending: formidable Scoring: poor Set pieces: wretched Midfielder #1 TSI = 5 260 , 27 years, weak form Has solid experience and inadequate leadership abilities [Technical] Stamina: excellent Keeper: disastrous Playmaking: outstanding Passing: inadequate Winger: wretched Defending: inadequate Scoring: weak Set pieces: wretched Midfielder #2 TSI = 6 920 , 23 years, inadequate form Has wretched experience and weak leadership abilities Stamina: excellent Keeper: disastrous Playmaking: outstanding Passing: solid Winger: poor Defending: weak Scoring: weak Set pieces: wretched Midfielder #3 TSI = 5 050 , 23 years, inadequate form Has wretched experience and inadequate leadership abilities Stamina: solid Keeper: disastrous Playmaking: outstanding Passing: inadequate Winger: wretched Defending: weak Scoring: inadequate Set pieces: inadequate Midfielder #4 TSI = 730 , 32 years, solid form Has solid experience and weak leadership abilities [Powerful] Stamina: excellent Keeper: disastrous Playmaking: passable Passing: solid Winger: wretched Defending: wretched Scoring: inadequate Set pieces: disastrous Midfielder #5 TSI = 270 , 35 years, inadequate form Has solid experience and passable leadership abilities [Powerful] Stamina: excellent Keeper: wretched Playmaking: solid Passing: inadequate Winger: poor Defending: weak Scoring: inadequate Set pieces: weak Midfielder #6 TSI = 980 , 25 years, solid form Has poor experience and inadequate leadership abilities Stamina: excellent Keeper: disastrous Playmaking: passable Passing: wretched Winger: poor Defending: inadequate Scoring: inadequate Set pieces: poor Midfielder #7 TSI = 1 660 , 30 years, solid form Has inadequate experience and passable leadership abilities [Unpredictable] Stamina: excellent Keeper: wretched Playmaking: inadequate Passing: passable Winger: solid Defending: weak Scoring: passable Set pieces: weak Striker #1 TSI = 4 540 , 19 years, solid form Has disastrous experience and passable leadership abilities [Unpredictable] Stamina: inadequate Keeper: disastrous Playmaking: wretched Passing: inadequate Winger: poor Defending: weak Scoring: outstanding Set pieces: inadequate Striker #2 TSI = 3 210 , 26 years, inadequate form Has inadequate experience and wretched leadership abilities Stamina: excellent Keeper: disastrous Playmaking: wretched Passing: solid Winger: weak Defending: weak Scoring: excellent Set pieces: divine According to HT Ratings Calc I would pull the following stats: Team Attitude: Match of the Season Tactic: Attack In the Middle Tactic Skill: Outstanding Midfield: solid (very low) Right Defense: poor (high) Center Defense: passable (very high) Left Defense: weak (high) Right Attack: wretched (very high) Center Attack: inadequate (low) Left Attack: poor (low) Do you think I would be able to defeat Knightz of Lord (8427) with this tactic?? My thinking is he has scouted my past matches and sees that I normally get a weak midfield, so he won't be too concerned... and then bam! I win midfield and maybe the match? Or will this end up horribly if I attempt it? *I really, really, really want to beat him. I am sick of always getting one of the top 10 division IV teams who are being demoted because the previous one went undefeated... so I want to give this guy a loss so, at the very least, we get an easier team next season. And if the 1-7-2 won't work, what would?
I don't think you'd best him, while you'd have the better midfield, your inexperience would likely hurt you as would your lack of wingbacks.
But, the sheer craziness of it just might work. and even after you lose, we'll still talk about it for months... "Hey, remember when zeek started seven midfielders? What kind of apeshit stuff was that?"
Now I am definitally considering doing it. I mean, besides midfield, I also have the divine set piece guy. Maybe a few special events will be the difference. If I do, what kind of crazy formation would you guys like to see in my friendly, since I might as well do something in that if I'm going to blow training for the week.
wouldn't you suffer some like serious confusion? I think you should do it as an experiment and report back.
Zeek, Have you ever played a 2-5-3? That'll give you some idea of how much disorganization and the resultant possession you'll get. Why not run it, go for 2 Off CD's and 1 or 2 def FWDs - It's a valid formation and you won't lose training yet you'll be stacking the mid and still get a nice offensive push.
Training is way more important than silly league points, just my opinion. I say go for it though - otherwise we'll never see it.
I considered it, but the best midfield I can get out of it is inadequate (very high). My opponent is going to have at least passable, so that's not going to be very helpful. With the 1-7-2 I can get a solid midfield.
Just curious, but what happens if you play a "real" formation in your league match and then something like a 1-7-2 in a friendly. Would you still lose training?

I was expecting solid midfield, wtf...
Well, since training is gone for the week, I threw a 2-4-4 at my Faroe Islands opponent. MatchID: 67077156 It was good for 5 goals and I won 5-3. Also I'm still waiting for this rep.
Just handed it out. I also wanted to sign your guestbook until I found out that you don't have supporter... Anyway, you remain a hero nevertheless
