End of December Update
Just two matches for me to try out my tactic before the January transfer window and they went with a bang!
I am using a 4-4-2 Diamond formation with a DM (O'Neill - Deep Lying Playmaker) and AM (Att Midfielder - Attack) just slotting behind a Poacher (MacDonald/Howe) and a Complete Forward (McInnes/Barreau). My wingers are on support to get plenty of crosses in too.
Bad News - Duvalier out for 3-4 weeks with a twisted ankle
Histon 0 - 4 AFC Wimbledon
2 goals apiece for Steven 'Chicharito' MacDonald and Harrison Moore (replacing Duvalier as the AMC). Each also had an assist plus 1 each for the wingers.
AFC Wimbledon 6-1 Darlington
2 more goals including a sprint from his own half to slot underneath the 'keeper for Chicharito MacDonald. Reserves winger Ben Law makes a debut and scores with a diving header after 25 minutes, going off crocked 5 mins later!
Mark Howe replaces McInnes to become a second poacher with 15 minutes left in the game only to score a hattrick to rub salt into the wounds of the Darlo players.
So far, so good except I can't seem to get my log in to Youtube!
