Really hard game. He lost the 2nd leg in the semi-finals and his opponent has used also 4-5-1 flat.

What about 4-1-4-1?

look at the difference .. both cup and league teams had almost same average
both players watch the match, but keep in your mind that my possession at home could be be better with 352, but i got 5% home advantage , so it is more 50-50 really without it , while away one you need to add 5% more bcz my mate was playing at home

TY, Pini Shavili. It works on perfection. I just added also a blue arrow to DMC.

Half of this victory is yours.
