Moral Theory No3
Well I have a lot to talk about in this match so I will begin with some of the things I noticed that was odd.
As you can see from the picture above my opponent played 4 players OOP, but didn't need to (I know that the manager is probably inactive but the system should at least try to create a team that is realistic. Only 1 player should have been OOP) well thats cleared the oppositions team up, we played a bunch of misfits with a goalkeeper who prefers to read the Leddy News on the bench
On to the match its self.
Well I think the troll was present but we didn't panic & waited out the storm. Here are some interesting stats:
Possession 20-80 expected because of the GK.
19 Shots only 8 on target
50% Efficiency
1 shot saved by the Opponents non GK (typical inconsistent stats from the NGE) Not complaining honnest
Right on to the reason why I am writing this thread, "the moral" (remember we are using Hexagon formation never used before)
Schmeichel Rating 7 slight decrease
Gibson Rating 6 slight decrease - his form hasn't been any higher than 7 in his past 5 games so this was expected. I put it down to usually playing 3 central defenders in most of my games so he is usually on the bench.
Duffy Rating 6 significant decrease due to playing in his less favoured position. (described in Theory 2)
Cumbers Rating 7 no change
Sawatram Rating 6 slight decrease - normally plays in CD but in the absence of Clarke had to fill the DR position.
Kerr Rating 8 slight decrease - not sure about this as he scored a goal, maybe the formation wasn't to his liking.
Bullock Rating 8 slight increase - Yellow card MOTM & a goal along with the result & formation was probably right.
Chambers Rating 7 no change
Blair Rating 6 slight increase - well what a lad this one is, he plays against a ML who is actually a DR gets a 6 rating which is shocking & to cap it all he was pleased about it. Well he won't be happy after today he is heading for the Tranny Market.
Piatek Rating 8 slight decrease - well this one was a shock having scored 2 goals, maybe just the formation.
Reed Rating 7 no change.
Well the things I have learned from this are:
1. Don't play Hexagon again
2. What you see is not always true (4 OOP's)
3. Should I have won this match by 10 goals? Yes
4. Will I have a MR/AMR less tomorrow? Yes
Hope you have enjoyed Theory No3. I plan to do a final theory for this season in the next couple of days I will post a reminder soon.
