Semi Finals Review
Semi Finals Points: 34, Total points: 325, Overall Rank: 92k
Here’s the points:
So very hard to make up ground at this stage and to make up any ground you probably needed to have Morata, Chiesa or Damsgaard. I managed to have 1 of the 3 only and it meant I stayed still on a pretty disappointing 92k. If you tried to gamble by thinking one of Italy would be knocked out and tried to make up ground via that route you ended up being disappointed and probably now have some difficulties getting a full team out
At least both games were very watchable.
The Finals Team
So you’ve got a few choices here depending on your objectives. If you want to maintain your rank or want to avoid a big rank drop then as the game is predicted to be fairly close then you could even your team between defence and attack and between England and Italy. That way whatever happens you should get an average type score and hopefully stay roughly where you are.
If you want a final roll of the dice to improve your rank or mini league position then you will probably go all out for 1 team or go for a 5 man block defence on 1 team or both.
Even though with my rank there’s a justification for both I’m going to spread my team fairly evenly between Italy and England and probably going to go for an even 3-3 split on defence and an even balance of attack with Harry Kane as captain
The unconfirmed draft team for the Final
So despite my rather unimpressive rank I’ve gone for spreading the risk rather than the all or nothing approach as I don’t fancy making my rank hugely worse than it is now if I call it wrong. So I’ve spread the team between Italy and England and spread it between attack and defence.
The graphic below is unconfirmed. I’ll probably play 4-4-2 with 3 English in defence and Emerson and Donnarumma the Italian 2. I’ve gone for Jorginho incase there’s a penalty although I could go for Barella. Kane and Immobile will play up front with Kane as captain. If Grealish or Foden start they might tempt me into a reshuffle
Here’s the transfers:
Moreno OUT Belotti IN
Damsgaard OUT Chiesa IN
Maehle OUT Emerson IN
Alba OUT Di Lorenzo IN
Forsberg OUT Jorginho IN
The team likely to lineup as follows
Kane Immobile
Sterling, Insigne, Jorginho, Chiesa
Shaw Maguire Stones, Emerson
Donnarumma
Here’s the graphic. Ignore the lineup as it’s unconfirmed I can’t dictate the order
Good luck everyone!
