Good thinking....so when would a team use the 1-3-1 in this game? I have yet to figure that out.

When desperate.

It was a useful tactic for soma games in the old engine, it diminished in use in the new one significantly I guess.

For the original question; i t depends on the teams but against Push the ball I would use Man to Man or 3-2 Zone. ID of my SF would influence my decision too.

Can you expand a little on how the ID of the SF would determine what you would do? That would be wonderful if you could. Thanks

If your SF is a strong inside defender, then that would make a stronger 2-3 zone. Likewise, a SF with excellent OD makes for a better 3-2. I like SFs with both OD and ID so we can play man to man. Hope this helps...

Everything is relative, Johnny, to the league you are in and to the competition. Most of us cannot afford to have super players at every position and so we do with what we can afford. That doesn't mean a $1-2M SF cannot contribute...

True, but from a quick view of u r team, looks at least equal to me. Funny thing is that USA right now has online ppl the same number of my countrys active team...Sad...

You have a nice team, Johnny. I'm not sure though what point you were making with your second comment. After all, the BBB champion this season comes from a country with fewer teams that you have. We all sometime struggle to make our teams better...

Nothing important. I just wish Cypriots where care more about the game.

I understand, Johnny, but I'd venture to say that on a per capita basis, Cyprus does a whole lot better than the USA does. However, in this age of the instant gratification (or not) of video games, perhaps we can understand how well the BB developers have done in creating this game. It's simply hard for many of the new managers (not only the young ones:-) to grasp the fact that this is a long-term—and very addictive—game...

I totally agree with you. I am only in my second season and at first it was easy for me to get upset by the fact that so many other managers have 1 player with a higher salary than my whole team.

But I do realize that it takes time to catch up with everyone else. I am just hoping I have a chance....it is hard for someone who started this late to buy good players since of course they do not have as much money as the top teams and always get outbid by older teams. Also, being in America makes it hard bc you start out in division 5....if I was in some small country I would start out higher and get more money from TV contracts, merchandise, and tickets sales because of a lack of players.

It is a long road even to the third division and will probably take me another 5 seasons to get there.
