STRATEGY & TACTICS You must finish top of your group to qualify for the finals and top of your quarter final group to reach the semi-finals. The strength of your midfield, the overall fitness of your team and home advantage will be important factors in the amount of possession you have. It's up to your forwards to convert this possession into shots at goal and to score goals. Their ability to do this will depend on the strength of your opponents defence and the quality of their goalkeeper. Midfield players in positions G ~ J will play an attacking role supporting the forwards and trying to get to wide positions behind your opponents defence. -Their ability rating will be divided between wing strength and midfield strength. A significant advantage in wing strength will help your players get to wide positions to create more opportunities for free kicks and to force corners. These dead ball situations will increase your chances of scoring. Forwards playing in positions L and O will have their ability rating divided between the wings and forward strength. A player in position F will play just in front of the back four supporting both the defence and midfield. A player in position K will play just behind the front players supporting the midfield and attack. The total strength of wing play for both teams is listed as Left & Right. This refers to the left & Right of YOUR team formation - e.g. your opponents rating for their right side represents their strength along positions E, J and 0. Team Play will be stronger if you select a consistent squad (ie. the greater the number of caps in your squad the better the team Play. Design & Artwork by Kings Road Art Works, Romford.
