Training and lineup changes
More fine tuning of the lineup. What did I do?
- League lineup changes - swapped the place of my two rookie players that Im trying to bring up to the league level.
- Offensive boost for defense - swapped the place of my two wing defenders.
ROOKIE TRAINING SWAP
I wasnt completely happy with the development of Jan Ismo so I gave him a better training position that should boost his midfield skills. Lasse Salli goes to the wing and puts his wingman skills to use. Now why didnt I do it earlier? Eh, dreams of grandeur for Salli allowed me to keep him on this non-performing place. You see, I see him as a great future coach that just has to get more experience.
To get experience, I have to have him in my lineup, so I thought that I should quickly develop his most obvious position on the midfield. The thing is, all the money and training Im pumping into this guy just doesnt pay off. The moron just wont improve at all. If this is the case, lets have him on place where he does least damage. He will get experience eventually and has slight chance of development.
WING DEFENDER SWAP
Halonen and Kollin had to change places. This way I have strong supportive players for attacking on the same side of the field. Now Halonen from defense and Severikangas from midfield can form a solid striking weapon with the lead Gottsted (well whatever the guys name is who can keep up with these foreign names).
Todays match will be the first to try it out and despite the fact that guys are going to take it easy, it will be a good opportunity to test the performance of the new lineup and training arrangement.
