[Buffs Mad]

History

Buffs FC was formed on 8th April 2014 and features the managerial debut of Buffs Mad.
(Buffs Mad's original name is unclear but it is rumoured he changed it by Deed Poll to impress the Board.)


Season 8 - Level 8





Formation

The team uses 4-5-1 V as its goto formation although the players are being coached to cover a variety of positions and offer flexibility.

Squad roles are key to pre-match and in-game tweaking to almost any formation with a minimum of fuss (or subs).

In Season 3 Buffs Mad has been exploring further flexibility, often starting in 4-1-4-1 with the option of slipping seamlessly into V style and also looking at 3-5-2 flat more often. Season 4 has seen more experimentation with 3 man defence formations with 3-5-2V and its one srtiker variant 3-1-3N-2W-1 looking promising.

Feeder teams have constantly experimenting with various defensive counter-attacking forms - these are looking like powerful options against those 'always attacking mentality' formations, regularly producing 'unexpected' results with a squads of decent defensive quality players..

Playing Squad

The Season 14 Squad starting Squad has been bolstered to 15 by a single Academy recruit.



The Scouting Network is currently working hard to secure 5 Youngsters: 2DCs, 2 Wingers and a Striker. Additionally a minimum of 2 further One Season Wonders are sought for the central midfield roles before any existing player can be allowed to depart.

The following players ave represented the Buffs over 200 times:

• Steve Nicol, 230 games

Season Plan

While ordinarly Buffs FC's priorities are Promotion, Knockout Stages of CL and Cup the Season 14 target is the Treble.

A small Q-manipulation strategy is in place with the continuing decline of the 3 Stooges - its hoped that if the Buffs can achieve a Level 16 Cup for the 3rd Season in succession that this Season represents the start of a Treble run. Failing that it should at least produce a more consistent showing in the Cup.

Facilities & Infrastructure

Current policy is to build an upgrade stadium for official opening on the first day of the new season.

The Upgrading of Abbey Park to a Pro Arena is complete and refurbishment to a World Arena has already begun.



Management Outlook

When interviewed about the impending Season, Buffs Mad paraphrased some wise words from another Scottish great...." Squeaky bum time! Bring it on.".

Lead on MacBuff.
