Asunto: [NT] Friendlies

Don't worry he'll get his chance..he is the best U22 MID, but he is still too young, Molefe and Felix are better U25 defmids

and GL in the Swiss Cup Final!

thanks, I'll need it!
the average value of my lineup is 1 625 000 $, my opponents is2 312 500 $...^^

We are facing another African opponent next week, Kenya and this time we will play full U25 squad against their A-squad. We basically have only 2 25 y olds Das Neves and Manuels and rest is 23 and 24y olds, but we should still grab the win

We will play 4-5-1 with a very offensive Manuels and Methula as winger..we will heavilly rely on Das Neves as our only striker who is only in average form..

This is the line up, there will be no substituations, because we lack players in U25..

Looks good.

Ive convinced Kenyas coach to play 2 A-squad players, so we'll play 4-4-2 and start Cameron and Lechesa in the attack after all..

looks good to me as well!

Our future NT superstar! Pretty cool player for 23 years. Today pop to incredible technique after 5 weeks :-)

Zane Matsau, Age:23
club: Hustlers, country: South Africa
Value: 1 344 500 $, Wage: 13 375 $
magical (15) Form, unearthly (16) Tactical discipline
height: 178

formidable (11) stamina, tragic (0) keeper
magical (15) pace, good (7) defender
incredible (13) technique, incredible (13) playmaker
unearthly (16) passing, weak (4) striker

niiiiice. will you should give him some PM too?

will get pass/tech this season, then 5 weeks PM next, then pass/tech again..problem is he will soon be divine pass, he will have +4 next week and I will probably have to train him to superdivine passing (because of other players and I don't want to sell him) instead of some more usefull skills like tech, pm or may be defense..not ideal, but he will still be awsome

Once again it's time for our youngsters against Costa Rica. Officially it is U25 + 2 older players on both sides, but we only have U23/24 players anyway, so it should be nice challenge to play against older category..Cameron and Lechesa both have superdivine form so they will once again be the 2 choosen players from our A-squad

We will play 442 with lower semi-winger on the left side..

Love it when the youngsters get a chance. Good luck, make us proud!

thx, I will :-)

Next friendly for us is Shqipëria, with well known Swiss manager Fanakick ..They are bit stronger than us recording marks around 72..recently they beat Ecuador easilly 3:0 (team that outplayed us badly in Mini WC in 2:2 draw).
I wanted to play U25 again, but unfortunately Fanakick doesn't have enough quality youngsters, so there are only going to be 3 younger players U23/24/25..

We'll play 532

3. Henry Theunissen DEF

I know Fanakick very well, even personally, and we played in the same league for several seasons.
He's an excelletn tactician, but he hardly ever plays with winger and hardly ever uses the with of the field. so you could surprise him with a large field and players using the free space on the sides.
he likes strong atts (mostly 3 atts, centrally playing) and low defense which moves up quickly to position the opponent atts offside.

Tactic will look something like this, but may be I'll make some adjustments for the strikers..

Thanks for the tip ;-)
