Diamond Fail - Don't be Suckered!

The 4-4-2 diamond is a good tactic if you have the right players. This is a fact. However, there is another fact: The diamond for the most part SUCKS against wide teams. If you play it like I do, you're going to get picked apart by a team that plays wide. In the coming blogs from me, I will hopefully show you how to even the score against the wide formations when playing a diamond formation.

What I want to test is how playing left and right mids works against a team that plays wide. The expectation is that the wide midfielders will be able to extend the width of play for my team, while at the same time minimizing the width advantages that come with playing a wide tactic.

National World Cup on Sunday

Hello all folks in Miller!

I dont know if you all know about the National World Cup that has been arranged by our beloved Nathan Pollard. Its called "The Real World Cup"

24 teams will be gathered and every manager need to find themselves a team of their choice of Country before Sunday noon. This Idea is so fantastic it made me shiver in joy! The feeling of beeing the National Manager of Mighty Team Sweden is just to great! No more boring football from my beloved Country :-)

Now, lets see which teams that have qualifyed so far. There are 18 teams out of 24 that at the moment are through to the World Cup (Nathan will handle the rest) If you are interested Pm him!

Teams ready:

At this point I cant finish my blog because the National flags in Miller have disapeard. A known bug when I write this...

anyway, this idea made me think about selling my whole Tranmere Rovers squad and build myself a whole Swedish squad instead. Its just so exciting :-)

Short blog, but better short than nothing at all eh? :-)

Week To Go Warning

So I understand that we're about to hit 7 days to go before the end of the season. It's time to step it up a gear, concentrate on FA league matches and aim for the UFFA or promotion spots.

A reminder that anyone who has not logged on for three weeks or more and with 12 players of more will be allocated to the Casual Inactive FA. If someone has AI%+25% in their league they will be relegated (unless twice in a row which will result in ejection from FA). There will also be a deactivation process shortly after the season ends.

Please contact one of your FA Organisers if you have any issues.

We're about to see some new FA Organisers and that with the new users arriving mid-season I think that next season will be much more busy for all. Happy days!
