Stockton

So, I was wondering what to write when i thought, who do I hate. Glynn. What would be fun ? Describing how to destroy him. So here I rpesent a critical appraisal of his team as well as suggestions to stop him and remove him from the top 5 of the gameworld :) This will be part of a series of appraisals of peoples team, together with suggestions to beat them. So read onwards.......................

Team: Stockton

Preferred Formation: 442 ( A wide variant with balls being pinged from mcs to wide men)

GK:Steve Mandanda

Good all round goalie but at 34 will soon be dead.

DL:Claudio Miccoli

19 Accel and Pace, 17 Agility. Very fast up and down the wing, but has 12 crossing., good at defending, less so on attacking. 11 on heading, so may be good to put in high balls near him as his heading is on par with um, someone shit.

DR:Mickael Brunel

Quick and skilled at defending. One of the best right backs currently in platini.

DC:Federico (lardy) Fazio

Big fat man mountain. Good and strong in the tackle, only 14 accel and pace.

DC:Metthew (Fat Boy) Spiranovic

Slow ass lard boy. 12 for accel and 14 for pace.

ML:Laszio Panczel

Nippy winger with very good crossing. Bottles it in most tackles though with only 9 bravery.

MC:Christophe Marty

Creative attacking midfielder

MC:Lucas

Creative defensive/normal midfielder. Usually has quite a few longshots or shots form the edge of the area.

MR:Cesar Azpilicueta/Daniel Candeias

Similar to the ML, but seems to be a bit more brave and not as quick, a bit lacking in defensive attributes.

FC:Pato

Not much to say apart from one of the stars in the game. Do not believe he likes plying his trade with glynn though and im sure is looking to leave ASAP :)

FC:Alberto Paoloshci

Not as nippy as pato, but a better finisher and better off the ball. Better as a supporting striker.

Secret Weapon: Branislav Basta

The man is a sleeping beast. A secret assassin. If this guy enters the fray, put man marking and hard tackling on him.

Strength

The side is pretty strong all round with a strong presence in midfield and nippy wingers with good crossing into 2 good forwards to bang it into the net. The back is very solid, with the DR in particular providing a lot of help in forward attacking runs

Tactics

From the looks of it, glynn does the usual I haz wingers lets make them power down the

line to cross into the 2 forwards to smash in.Lucas is also seen to take quite a few shots

from edge of the area and more than often pops up with a goal every now and then. The main

this is the two forwards though, contributing between them about 85% of the goals. A Tactical genius he is not. Ball -> Wingers -> Pato -> Win :)

How to pwn

The main thing to do is to stifle the 2 front men, whilst having a few nippy forwards of

your own. The nippy forwards should play on the shoulders of the 2 dcs and should aim to

just run away from the fat fazio to smash it past "old man" mandanda. I would suggest you play deep, retaining the ball and counterattack at any opportunity. I would suggest hard tackling on both wingers as well as the 2 dcs. I would also suggest not to put tight marking on pato and palosh as playing deep you will want to give yourself all the extra space in order to do a running jump at breaking their legs.

I would also suggest playing quite widely as well. Let mr Stockton tire his players out as your play the ball about nicely with a fairly low tempo. Then when they are tired. BAM. DESTROY.Possibly playing with a sweeper will help mop up the balls over the top if your dcs are quite slow.

You might find it effective to haev a big giant ST up front to pump balls into and then to play them off to attacking mids as team orange like to do with Aguero up front, who lays it off to Mohammed and Raynard. David has found it quite hard to defend against this and recently conceded 2 goals to very straight forward pump the ball into aguero DC goes with, amid gets played into space then bam.

If you find you dont have any fast forwards then I would advise playing 451, with the ML and MR both defensive, set to destroy davids wide men. This will hopefully stiffle them enough to maybe smash one in from long range. Even if you dont win, you might injure one of his players which is almost as good as victory.

If you have any questions I will be in chat.
