You basically called me a cheat so no I won’t be doing tactics this week now,

If you can’t see why I’d be annoyed at what you’d wrote - then that’s a worry.

But you continue to act like you’re píśsêd as the victim

Just caught up

So Fan snooped on Rofs team, then changed his formation and did his tactics, got caught, denied it, deleted his team team, however not before Rof had taken a copy (which is genius btw) and now Rofs reposting them everywhere. That’s class

it's a bit like Lubo always going last with tactics and getting plaudits for "guessing" formation switches
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Usually I just go with the formations people use in previous weeks tactics. Fairly easy to work out systems like Nadz, Ludy etc, who play the same way every week. Don't really see the issue, as scouting opposition approach is part oc actual football.

Will backfire on me at some point when someone switches how they play, but as far as I can tell, most people have one particular formation they like to go with.

My go to formations are either 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1 or if I fancy a shootout 3-2-3-2

Although my team pretty much picks itself this week so shouldn’t be too hard to guess

Think I’m going to go with 4-4-2 for a while now, I thought it would be a nice surprise

Yeah it’s a good as it’s a hard one to pull off, at face value you run the risk of getting overrun against a 3 man midfield but the use of Alaba is quality. I like it.

It’s a Pep tactic to be fair, sure you used it too!

I think it’s gotten more difficult to guess people’s tactics, quite a few mixing it up. Ludy and maybe Nadz the only two that are quite rigid

And that’s before injuries only

Almost time to watch Rangers struggle against Lyon I’m sure. Bloody Lundstram

Wish Arsenal sold Xhaka and got Guimarães in

Can’t say I’ve been impressed with him, or Lyon.

We’ve been the better team in possession. And we’re not great this season. Arsenal should be aiming higher

Although he just put in a great cross

He’s been very good this half to be fair.

They’ve bossed it

Selling xhaka is one thing

Giving him a new contract is another

May have to play Osimhen at home, scores two games every time he plays in Leicester

i'll do watford vs lesta now

Watford vs Leicester

Tall order this for Watford, but with home advantage and the scalp of Chelsea already this season they're going to be fancying their chances. Leicester take the form slot, leaving Watford with a start of +2.

Both sides lining up in very similar looking 4-3-3's although the playing style and execution is different, Lesta dominate the slots for the XI and subsequently for the strength of the bench and changes made.

Both sides are set for high tempo attacking football which should be great to see and LC as always is a great tactician Watford would be in this game, But I feel that matching Leicester man for man with such a high tempo would leave them vulnerable to what is effectively a front-five from Rof.

RoF - I quite liked this " In midfield, the trio narrow in front with the cm opposite play dropping behind, allowing the other two to press with cover. Closing down the space, narrowing to the side of play. Win the ball back quickly before they can get anywhere"

I do really like the balance of this Leicester side and it has a lot of firepower and a tonne of pace, the once concern, (no offence to LC) against stronger sides I'm not sure that midfield offers enough help to Rodri, I know they have great work-rate but I'm not sure they'll put their foot in enough when needed. but can only judge whats in front and today it's enough, more than enough.

Slots went in Leicester's favour overall but did the fruity? or do Watford add Leicester's scalp to the collection?

Watford 1-3 Leicester
Kaio (Veron)
Sterling (Bruno) Bruno (pen) Mane (Osimhen)

MOTM - Rodri

Tino And good game LC

And Tino do agree on Cm but also if comparing to gold standard in the league, then think defensively they’re at least as strong or stronger for me, Mount gets right stuck in particular, and if comparing Bruno to the gold standard AM I also think defensively he’s got a better work rate

Yeah it might be I don't see enough of Mount but as I say he and Bruno are full of energy and work rate, you could argue Rodri does all the work for City

I like the front-five and I'm very much in favour of anyone whos side is set up to have a go

Might need to find a way to fit Florian Wirtz in my starting lineup with the form he's currently in. 3 goals and 3 assists in only 205 minutes of competitive football this season crazy stat

Just saw this on the BBC live commentary page

Raphinha is found free inside the box by fellow Brazilian Junior Firpo, but delays and delays and his shot is brilliantly blocked by Joelinton.

All the Brazilians

Amazes me how they don’t do simple homework, I think the live text guy changed recently to be fair
