I believe I've only used 1-3-1 against you twice. In league play both of our rebounding ratings were average, but in the the PL game your rebounding was respectable to my mediocre. I might be oversimplifying it, but in my narrow-minded head, I think rebounding is the key to a successful 1-3-1.
I agree, though I'd add ID to the discussion as well. As for my ratings, when I played you in the league game, I started a kid at C with only respectable RB. Not so in the PL games.
Major points to take away from this post:
1. don't play 1-3-1 unless you have good rebounding
2. my rebounding sucks something worse than donkey scrotums
3. don't bend over around darky
My rebounding has marginally improved by replacing Strauss with West, but hardly enough to write Mom about.
