With blank lineup we would have won against Brazil and South Africa. I have no doubts about it.


I completely agree.

Sparky for the record if both NT centers got hurt and you were playing blank you would likely see either a PF or SF move into that spot. Is blank perfect? No not at all but it is far and away the best option for balanced teams where training and minutes played don't matter. As has been said countless times the only thing that can make it go sideways is the failure to set it correctly.

I completely agree with you.
I have never played a league game with blank lineup though I should say
that I now have in the Utopian private league and probably won a game I normally wouldn't have.
Kind of torn here.
I really believe both sides of this argument are making sense.
Been a learning experience for young Sparky.
Smart kid will find his way.

So what you are saying is that we shouldnt choose NT managers that do their best to win? I am sorry, but NT is not personal managers playground. It is here for the community and to show off strength of it to people from other countries.

Man, they really need to get rid of Blank Lineup. You know something shouldn't be in the game when people would rather lose games than use it.

Like LI a few seasons ago.

With the GDP, a single tactic will never dominate again. Now, LI is just another tactic. Even if your team is built for LI, it's still smart to change up your attack style every other game.

whats the point of even having a coach, if we just want them to choose blanks.. yes they work, but takes no skill or thought to do so.. might as well just hire robots... close game, nice try, rough luck on the loss of your guys.. you had them early!!!


Ultimately you're correct, but since nobody has the power to make lineup adjustment in real time blank lineup is the best lineup choice by default. What's the alternative?

I was just wondering, when you play blank lineup:
Do you also sit players in foul trouble?

I dont. Actually I dont think I have ever used that option. Didnt really have a player who fouls out in significant amount of games

I also dont see any advantage of doing so. Why limit his minutes? I will take my best player playing 30 minutes and foul out than make just 5 fouls and play 20 minutes
