The legacy of DUMAGUETENOS

[aeasao]

Dumaguete City is a city on an island
Of the Philippines, called Negros
The name of the city describes the traits of the land
It means the gentle people, the Dumaguetenos


I played this game since July, lost my facebook account, regained my old facebook account and decided to start from scratch. Having played this game for 7 months I enjoy it but do not master it. I would like to contribute to a lively forum so here is the account of my efforts with Dumaguetenos. The setting is that Dumaguete City has two rivalry clubs, one called City and the other United. There is also a Futbol Club de Silliman University, but they do not have a big fanbase. Well, the fans of both United and City decided to start an amateur club of their own, and named it Dumaguetenos. They had to borrow the T-shirts from their work place in Robinson mall, hence the yellow and orange colors, as faith will have it they developed to be the best team in the city.


TACTICS

In my lower level experiences there is two formations I feel having better success with. The first one is:

GK-DC-DC-DC-ML-MC-MC-MR-AMC-ST-ST
Barrows on the three DC
Orders in default settings except I play with Attacking mentality, Man-mark and easy tackling

Putting blue arrows is an emotional thing. I "feel" more secure the defenders will do their job. I "feel" I have more success. I have tested the blue and red arrow in 6 training matches against three different opponents. Having the above mentioned formation with all players on blue arrows, and the next match all players on red arrows. Absolutely no effect. Stats and results are very similar.

Easy tackling, in my view it means that the players try to make less tackles, or follow the oppenent waiting for the right time to make a tackle. With hard tackling on I have noticed the team have more tackles, and more cards because some of the tackles becomes a foul.

GK-DL-DC-DC-DC-MC-MC-MC-AML-AMR-ST

Very defensive, long balls, man-mark, easy takling, counter attack ticked. Down the flanks if opponent are playing narrow formations.

Three central defenders stops most opponents. But the DL (or DR if you have one) helps when the opponent have more attacking players (Strikers and attacking midfielders). If the opponent flood my half with attacking players, I also change one MC to DMC.

I hope some day I can find (or develop) the right players to start the match with whole pitch hard attacking orders with GK-DC-DC-DC-ML-MC-MC-MR-AMC-ST-ST and at half-time when the players are tired change to GK-DL-DC-DC-DC-DR-MC-MC-AML-AMR-ST hard defensive counter attacking. With the same starting eleven, so I want the following players:

GK Smeichel-style
DL-DML-ML Roberto Carlos-style
DC Maldini-style
DC Baresi-style
DC Ramos-style
DR-DMR-MR Cafu-style
MC Redondo-style
MC Simeone-style
AML-AMC Baggio-style
ST-AMR Mancini-style
ST Batistuta-style
