Another match which proved how much the Narrow Diamond is radicated into our playstyle. We started, against his Narrow Diamond, with a 3-1-4-2 which intended to challenge the sides and let us pass easily. But since the start we were alwais blocked and our side players didn't apparently get the ball. The few chanches we had went to oblivion missing. In the second half we got out our reserves (Tenma, Stein, Lenders) for the pros Schneider, Denver, and Denton, equalizing the opponent's module (back to ours, let's say). Five minutes needed for Becker to shoot a missile and give us the lead (50'), followed by Schneider's 2-0 (67'). As Schneider approached the field Hutton felt immediatly less conflict (more proof that same SA on same zone = not good) and once the 1vs1 Lenders left the field the captain's 1vs1 awakened: after the 0-3 signed by Ross (73'), Hutton scored another double (83', 89').

Scorers: T.Becker, K.H.Schneider, J.Ross, O.Hutton (2).
MoM: O.Hutton (9), New Team.

Aftertoughts:

-We depend on Narrow Diamond.
-Our setup seems to work with short passes better than last seasons.
-Our Forwards were improved equally in Physical and Attack stats and that makes them more visible during the matches.
-Oliver Hutton is going for the golden ball this season apparently: 4 matches, 9 goals, 4 assists, 4 MoM, AVG score 9 : New Team's Core, as alwais.

Of course, you saw that It worked for me last season and now you are "stealing" my formation as well... Good job! Nah, just kidding!

This is the "thing" I noticed as well last season. Sticking to one (or two formations) seems to be the best choice. Also, not changing the style of tackling (easy-normal and hard) seems to be a thing best "left as it is" and avoid to many injuries. And "too much change in too short a period of time" seems to be bad in T11, while small improvements and standardization are the best way to go.

Does your newly signed players get good ratings? Saw also that you are almost finished with the PT, did it go well and how many boosters did you "burn"?
