VDV, Kroos & Paulinio: Marshall the midfield today. You will all have to help defend. We will sit deep so box to box counter attacks are best suited.
Pablo & Pedro: Run at the fullback, use your pace & dribbling skills to take them on. Play through balls for Miccoli to get onto. Cut inside, shoot on sight in the box.
Miccoli: Hold up the ball. You have great pace so make runs in behind, play off the last shoulder.

Team Talk: It's December and we're feeling Christmassy - so it's a Christmas tree formation from us. This requires width coming from our full backs, so I have ones with good attacking instincts, and I have Gago and Biglia on the edges in midfield to easily provide cover when the FBs are up field. Marchisio will drive us on and our attacking mids are there to create for our poacher up top. Ho ho ho.
Romero - shout and manouvre your CBs and catch what you can aerially to take the pressure off.
De Sciglio/Rat - Big shifts from you today. We are narrow in midfield, so push up the field when we have the ball and look to get into crossing positions so our CM/AMs can find you. Track back when we lose the ball, but Gago/Biglia will be covering if there is imminent danger out wide.
Evans/Reid - Both guys will be anchored in their zones today because of the buccaneering FBs. Communication is key, so it's good they speak el lingo. Look to clear the lines and if they go aerial I expect you to attack the ball.
Gago/Biglia - Nominally in the centre, but with the task of covering the wide areas if our FBs are up field. On the ball keep it simple, short passes between yourselves in the centre where we have numbers. Look to spread wide where it's on, and get the AMs involved up the pitch.
Marchisio - Lots of energy today, you are the glue in the middle to drive us forward. Get the ball and look to get us up the pitch, breaking forward to support the attacks. When we lose it, hustle in the middle and sink back with the other CMs to ensure cover.
Diamanti/Insigne - Sit in the area between their CMs and CBs and drift around to the space looking for the football. When you get it try and spark us with shots, dribbling or passes to Martinez or the FBs on the wings. If we lose it, hustle their deepest midfielders and try and snatch it back quickly - at the very least buy some time for our players to get back defensively.
Martinez - Movement movement movement. Watch where the ball is and then make a run to space so it can find you. When it's wide get in the middle and attack it, and when it's behind you stretch the defence with you.
PKs - Diamanti
FKs - Diamanti
Corners - Diamanti/Biglia
Subs if winning 75mins:
Livermore for Insigne - Have Livermore drop into the centre and go 4-3-1-2 with Marchisio sat just ahead and Diamanti supporting Martinez on breaks. Rein in the full backs and stifle.

- ------------------- Foster
--- Smalling -- Bonucci – Caulker ----
Debuchy ------- Tiote ------------ Cole
--------- Gerrard ------ Parker -----------
------------------ Ben Arfa ---------------
-------------------- Ba ---------------------
Subs: Kjaer, Coloccini, Neville, Giggs, Beckham, Gera, Long
English players: 6 (Foster, Smalling, Caulker, Cole, Gerrard, Parker)
Injuries: Jack Butland + Thierry Henry
TEAM TALK:
We’re up against a talented team full of small players with pace and vision. I want you to play possession football, move the ball around and exhaust their midfield, have the forward players making runs to tire their defence, and put the ball into the gaps we create. The wingbacks will support our attacks, so keep the ball moving and wear the opposition down. When not in possession I want all of you to make sure that you close the opposition down.
FC No Respek tactics:
GK - Foster – let the CBs know if you can claim the ball or if there is danger lurking around. Parry shots away from danger, try to catch the ball but punch to distance if you need to. Release the wing-backs on the break if you have the chance.
CCB - Bonucci – you will pick up the main striker. Keep tight on him, don’t let him settle, if he moves then move with him. Make sure you don’t dive in - keep him at bay until either Smalling or Caulker can come across to dispossess him.
RCB - Smalling – you are at your most effective when playing as a covering defender. Watch for midfield breaks, and make sure that your CB partners are covered. Make sure that you are aware of any LW threat.
LCB - Caulker – you will pick up the second striker (if they play one), and if not you will watch for breaks from their midfield or from the wing. Make sure that you are aware of any RW threat.
RWB - Debuchy – get forward to support the play but always make sure you are able to track back. When you’re on the ball, look to play one-twos with Gerrard and Ben Arfa, get round the back of the LB and cross the ball for Ba.
LWB - Cole – support the midfield, offer yourself as an option, and always track back. You’ll have Caulker covering you and Ben Arfa floating around, so don’t hold back – really get at their RB and work the ball into the box for Ba.
DM - Tiote – I want you sit in front of the back four and keep the ball moving – get the ball to Gerrard and Parker, get Debuchy and Cole in down the flanks, and thread balls through to Ba and Ben Arfa. In defence, close down their AM at all times and ensure that he cannot settle in possession.
CM – Gerrard – you have one task today. Unlock the defence and win the game! I want you to be creative, attack at will, get crosses into Ba and use Ben Arfa’s runs to break into space. Unleash your shot from distance when space opens up.
CM – Parker – you are our linchpin today. Get stuck in to your opponents, don’t let them settle, take the ball off their midfielders and release it with a quick pass. I want you to be a colossus defensively, and to support your teammates going forward.
FREE ROLE – Ben Arfa – you have a free role todays, so you can play off Ba and run into the channels, get on the ball and run into space, drop deep to get the ball off the midfield, support the wing backs - just do whatever you think the game warrants.
ST - Ba –I want you to keep the CBs confused so keep moving, and make plenty of diagonal runs across them. Your teammates will use of the space you create, so make sure you drag defenders with you, and get into the box for crosses and half-chances.
FC No Respek subs:
If winning after 75mins: Long for Gerrard. Move to a 4-4-2 formation with Debuchy and Ben Arfa the focus for our attacks – look to get the ball moving forward at pace, and use Long’s fresh legs to stretch the CBs.
Tactics:
------------------Foster
Smalling-Bonucci-Caulker-Cole
Debuchy-Parker-Tiote-Ben Arfa
----------------Long-Ba
If drawing after 75mins: Giggs for Parker. No change tactically, but Giggs is to sit deep and use his vision to bring players into the game. Debuchy and Cole must be cautious when going forward.

Abou Diaby - Darren Fletcher - Tomas Rosicky
Jeffren - Pavel Pogrebnyak - David Villa
Subs: Thomas Kaminski, Paolo Cannavaro, Francis Coquelin, Paul Scholes, Jordi Gomez, Iago Falque, Cristian Ceballos
Manager's note: Tough game against No Respek today, they're a very good side but their back three is open to attack, hence our 4-3-3, we're having a go at them but also maintaining a solid defensive base.
Asenjo, command your area and stay in communication with your defence, watch for long shots and stay big for one on ones.
Gallas/Ruiz, they may go with Ba and Adebayor upfront, if so stay strong, Fletcher will assist to make sure we outnumber them, keep a tight line and don't let them bully you.
Anyukov/Fuchs, beware of their wingbacks getting forward, and force them back by getting forward yourselves. If they push forward you'll have space to attack, and if they stay back to stop you it negates their attacking threat. But make sure you don't overcommit and always rush back into position.
Diaby/Fletcher/Rosicky, our midfield trio. Fletcher our out and out DM, stop their AM and also help out the CB's. Diaby our box to box man, help out Fletcher defensively but don't be afraid to break forward. Rosicky our creative influence, support the front men but when we don't have the ball slot in at LCM and assist your fellow CM's.
Jeffren/Pogrebnyak/Villa, an orthodox front three, Jeffren at RF, Pogrebnyak at CF and Villa at LF. Get at their back three, there's plenty of pace, strength and trickery between you to create chances for yourselves and for each other, link up together and also use the fullbacks/midfield for support when we have possession. Pogrebnyak as the main CF I want you to play back to goal, back into defenders and retain possession, utilising your strengths. Feed Villa and Jeffren chances, they're goal hungry!
Subs 70 mins:
If winning: Jeffren and Pogrebnyak off, Gomez and Coquelin on. Go 4-5-1, Coquelin an extra DM, Gomez to RM, Rosicky to LM, Villa the lone striker. Absorb pressure and look to counter attack.
If drawing: Jeffren and Rosicky off, Falque and Scholes on. Like for like changes but Scholes with the ability to unlock any defence and Falque with pace and fresh legs against tiring defenders.
If losing: Rosicky, Fuchs and Fletcher off, Gomez, Cannavaro and Scholes on. Switch to a 3-4-3, back three of Gallas - Cannavaro - Ruiz, midfield 4 of Anyukov - Diaby - Scholes - Gomez and front three remains as it is, push forward to get back into the game. CB's to get forward if still losing late on.

6th December 2012 7:26AM
It clearly shows that Fan does not take it serious when he don't know who he is playing "Fail to prepare, prepare to fail" I feel this has given us the advantage from the start and we will look to take advantage of it by going with two strikers. Fan has made many chops and changes to his side so players are still gelling with each other so I'm expecting nerves and mistakes from them which we have to capitalise on.
KEEPER
Dominate your area shout early if you can claim try to catch ball but punch if you have to. If you can't hold a shot try and parry it away from danger, make yourself big and goal look small stand your ground make the attacker blink first.
DEFENDERS
When we are attacking I only want one of my FB to push forward, make overlapping runs to create space for wingers. When defending watch the ball and don't dive in unless you can win ball, jockey your man and push him on the outside and try and get in the way of crosses.
Rami will pick up Benteke you have the power and speed to match him don't give him time to settle on ball shoulder barge him knocking him of his stride don't go out wide if he does watch his runs behind you get up nice early for long balls you are very good at that. Shawcross pick up the SS/AM watch for runs or flick ons if he plays deep he will look to make through balls get in the way block them intercept them. I feel our defence is fast enough so we will push up trying to make Bayern camp in thier own half.
MIDFIELD
Ledesma and Gentner will play slightly deep working as a unit to make things tick for us both will to pick up thier men putting pressure on them forcing them backwards, try to read the game intercepting the ball or closing down options for them. Ledesma will look to use his range of passing to get our wingers through or passes for strikers to run on to. Always keep the ball ticking and make yourself an option to pass. Genter keep it simple short snappy passes keep the ball moving and try and snuff out their attacks.
Sterling has pace so I want him to stretch the defence look to get inside the LB and CB Ledesma will look to play you in there other times give us width and look to get constant crosses in for our strikers use tricks and skills to beat your man run at him make him commit. Draxler more of a dribbler look to use your passing to link up with others coming inside linking up play and getting into box at times use width to get crosses in. I want both my wingers to track back and help FB.
STRIKERS
Huntelaar keep it simple when you get the ball look to pass it on and move into box stay on the move at all times use your great movement to get into goal scoring positions you are very good in air so we have crosses coming in for you. Quagliarella look to open thier defence with runs inbetween both CB going slightly wide at times creating space for others, you have a wonderful shot on you and if you have a chance use it. Huntelaar will knock ball on gamble an make the run link up together.

A strong line up today with no major injuries, we want to take the game to them with quick free flowing football, always passing and moving, following the pass, making themselves available. Quick one twos and triangles to break the lines of defence.
We have a solid defence lead by Hummels. He marks the CF and does not give him the time or space to become a danger, always aware of his movement so as soon as the ball arrives Hummels is the there to clear. Rakitsky beside him sits and mops up the rest, watching for any other danger coming through or helping Hummels in case the CF gets passed him. Both be strong and clear any danger low and high balls, just get rid.
Carvajal and Clichy must be focussed on the job at hand. Mark the wingers out of the game, both FBs are quick so will keep up with them but they must keep them away from the danger area by forcing them outside. Attacking one at a time I want them to support the wingers as best they can by passing and going outside, wether its to recieve the return or just to take the opposition FB away to leave room for our wingers to expose.
Neustaedter is the rock in front of Hummels and Rakitsky, at 6'4 not alot will get passed him, he doesnt venture up very far apart from corners to use his height in the box. A solid DM and will mark the AM, get to him quick, do not allow him to dictate play and force him into silly mistakes. Once he has won theball just makle simple passes to those around him.
Sahin and Gundogan are the two that make the midfield tick. There passing and moving is fantastic, however, 1st they must help defend, sit in along side Neustaedter and help break up play, get right into there midfield and stop them getting through. Once its won they will start passing about, get it out wide to the wingers or supporting Fullbacks and move to make space and look for the return ball. Benteke and the wingers will find some room today so when it gets to them, make the runs into the box and look to get on the end of crosses in from wide or the flicks and knock downs from Benteke.
Jakub and Marin are good, quick, skillful wingers, like to take on their men, get to the outside and whip in dangerous crosses. Will have Carvajal and Clichy at times for support so pass and move, play trinagles with them or Sahin/Gundogan to get beyond the lines of defence. If the FBs go on the outside,look to mix it up by sometimes passing forward or cut inside and look to Benteke fo a pass back or set him through. Defend, by helping the FBs and track back watching THEIR FBs and stop them getting up the pitch and into dangerous areas.
Benteke, the man mountain, is strong, quick and very dangerous, isnt afraid of a battle and will get stuck right in. Wont be bullied off the ball and he will just shrug off the challenges by the CBs, this will get him away and in on goal. Once the ball is played up to him he will use his power to hold of his marker as he waits for others to join him in the danger area as his power allows him to hold up play quite easily and he will look to lay them in if he cant go himself. Great in the air so will relish the supply from Jakub and Marin and will look to rise early to beat the CBs in the air.

Cudicini, Kirchhoff, Bruma, Neustaedter, Rabello, Klose, Yesil
Unnerstall is a top young keeper, great shot stopper and instills confidence in the back 4. Always shouting and keeping them right. Off his line quickly to shut down strikers to reduce their angles. Quick kicks/throws to release forwards or if need to hold on and wait till everyone back in position.
The classy Hummels wont be beaten in the air so attacks all high balls, he sits spare allowing Rakitsky to pick up the main CF, watches him very closely even when we are in attack. keep an eye on his movement so he is there to intercept him and keep his chances to a minimum. Hummels will sit just off him in case he does lose him.
Carvajal and Clichy, two class fullbacks. Know when to attack and when to sit. When attacking I want them to support those in front of them, ONE AT A TIME, we cant afford to be left exposed at the back. Either send the winger down the line and follow the pass by cutting inside or driving passed the winger, this will either make an extra man in midfield or will take the fullback away leaving more room for the wingers. If they have a chance and see someone in space drill a pass from the back to get them in. Defend the lines by forcing their wingers outside away from the danger area and keep their crosses into the box to a minimum. Hummels goes up for corners to use their height and will be a danger.
Bender is my DM, he sits in front of the CB's and gives them that extra security. His job is simple, stop their AM dictating play. Always watchful of the lad and get right onto him, be his shadow, dont allow him any time or space to pass the ball about. Force him into mistakes, Once he has won the ball easy, simple passes to those around him.
Gundogan is my dynamic midfielder, he is energetic and always on the go, when they have he will sit alongside Bender to stop them coming through, will always be looking to help break up play. When its won he drives forward, he will stick it out wide or to Sahin/Benteke and move up looking for a return, has a great shot and not afraid to have a go.
Sahin is more forward thinking, once we have won the ball he will look to set the wingers/Benteke away, he and Gundogan will look to dominate the midfield with their passing range and movement off the ball. With Bender breaking up play he can pick the ball up and look around to try and make the best pass to get it beyond their defence and into danger areas. Support Benteke as much as he can and look for knock downs or get beyond him after flick ons. Watching for Gundogan coming through to set his fellow cm away and in on goal. Sahin watches their DM, when defending be on him to stop him passing about, when attacking stay away from him.
Jakub and Atsu out wide are different types of players, jakub tends to drift inside looking to Sahin/Gundogan etc to pass to and drive into the box looking for a return ball to get in. He does go wide and cross in but will be looking for Carvajal coming from deep to get him on the outside to cross in, where he makes an extra man in the box. Very skilled and loves to take his marker on, Atsu is a player who drives at the FB and down the line, he is quick and skillful and full of tricks that get him passed his markers, so will use Sahin.Gundogan to pass and drive past the fullback waiting for their pass so he can get it into the box. Both he and Jakub have good shots so when they cutting in pass and scream for the ball to have a go at goal. When they have both track the runs of their respective fullbacks and stop them getting forward and becoming a danger. If they are very closly marked then whip in dangerous balls early for Benteke.
Benteke is deceptively quick and has a mean eye for goal. A big target man so the long ball is an option, however, I still want to see most build up play involving him its passes to feet. The movement from my forward 5 must be decisive, they must have the intent on getting passed their men and into positions to always make themselves available. If Benteke has to drop deep he will, as Jakub, Sahin and Atsu can take up his role. Stay away from the CB marking him or at the very least drag him all over the place leaving gaps at the back for others to drive into. Two good feet and can score from a variety of angles, so get the shots in.Will rise early to beat the Cbs in the air and look to get a opowerful head on it.

Alright back from the winter break, so we should be fresh and have plenty of energy. Lets get stuck into them from the get go and not take our foot off the gas.
Howard: Be alert to come and clear if they play balls in behind.
Vertonghen: Take charge of the back 4, marshall them. You're covering today, be alert to come and clear if anybody gets caught.
Jagielka: Be aggressive with their front man, stick to him like a limpet. Put pressure on him and keep him facing away from goal.
Lopez: Make their winger go the long way round you, don't give him an easy cut in. Look to stay at home.
Alba: More reserved game today, look to get forward on the odd break though. Again look to push your winger away from goal and don't give easy cut ins
Flamini: Harry and harass them in midfield, don't give them time to look up and pick passes. Play a simple ball when you get it back.
Suarez: Get stuck in today, you’re the midfield destroyer, simple game, get the ball and distribute it
Dyer: Stretch the FB with your pace, look to make runs in behind him and one of our creative players will find you.
Arteta: Float around the space on the Left, come infield if necessary. When you get it, get your head up and look to play in an attacker.
Berbatov: Float in the pocket of space in front of the defense, turn to face goal and either pick a pass or get a shot off.
Saviola: On the shoulder of the last man, look to push the back line backwards with runs off the shoulder into the channels, so theirs space to exploit.

Team talk: Up against a tacticall astute Sodhat today so have to get it right or we'll be on the end of an ass whooping, He has injuries at LB today that we're going to take advantage of their slow defence.
Weidenfeller: There main route is down the wings so if any balls go in the box come collect then Martinez is a small forward. When in control release it into Scholes or out to a winger.
Defence tactics: Squeeze in to make a tight back 4 let them cross the ball we're taller then them and better in the air. Play a deep line so their pace can't get in behind
Srna: Id expect your be up against Reus/El Shaarawy, Squeeze on him and show him down the line, if cuts inside Capoue will help you. What we want to do is make sure he's tracking back so when we have the ball bomb forwards and overlap Santi to take advantage of the spare LB.
Ferdinand: Keep in line with Martinez make sure if they try to pass into feet then get there before him, Make sure you keep in line with Aleksey. If he goes onto Aleksy watch for the AM coming on. With pass get it into scholes or hit out wide for a counter
Berezutski: I want you to watch for AM coming as Rio will pick up Martinez. If sticks on you then force him away from goal with your physical presence. If their out wide help Balazaretti with El Shaarawy/Reus.
Balzaretti: Your be up against El Shaarawy/Reus, He's not quick but he's trick so watch the ball not he's feet , Aleksey will help you double him if he comes inside, Try force him down the wing. When we have the ball i doubt he'll want to track back so overlap Chamberlain to give their defence issues.
Capoue: Playing as DM today i want you to sit infront of the defence if one of them follows the forward out you drop in, When their outwide left then go out to cover the inside, If come through the middle get your tackles in and force them from goal
Scholes: Your going to be deep laying playmaker, I want you to spread the ball about out wide, into feet which ever is the best option, When having to defend just pick up another midfielder and make sure he doesn't have time on the ball
Fernandinho: Your going box to box today i want you to get forward and link up with the front 3 when you can but when without the ball sit on their outlet for attacks.
Cazorla: Your playing as an inside right forward today, They have an injured LB so i want you to take advantage of this, Srna will overlap you to give you space to cause issues, look like switch sides with Chamberlain on occasions, When defending follow the winger back , if the full back goes stay and wait for the counter attack.
Chamberlain: Your playing as inside left forward, Their RB isn't a strong point for the side so we're going to attack him with help from Federico, When on the ball take him on at pace go inside and out charge in towards their CB's if Federico goes down the wing, When defending follow the winger back , if the full back goes stay and wait for the counter attack.
Di Natale: Expecting Evans/Coloccini to start at CB for them so it's all about movement, Stick to Evans and then make runs in behind Coloccini. Use the pace you have to get in behind them and make sure when you do take your chances
Subs: 65 mins Scholes off Milito on : Go a flat 4-2-2-2
80 mins if winning Yennaris on for Chamberlain - 4-3-1-2

Team Talk: Lets get at them and use our front 4 to create chances and goals. I want us to dominate in the centre and get the ball forward to our front three to work together and feed our striker. We want to be positive and attacking.
Perin: Strong game, speak up, organise and come for balls to take the pressure off. Quick distribution - look to move us forward fast.
De Sciglio/Di Silvestri: Both of you to split between attack and defence, so support us going forward but not much into the final third. Defensively stand your man up show him on to his weaker side and don't allow him to beat you easily.
Evans/Coloccini: If they have two men up then mark one each, but if it is one man, Evans to stick to him and Coloccini to read the game and get to the ball and the danger. Keep the ball on the ground in possession and move it forward. Be vigilant for midfielders breaking into the box.
Biglia: Standard DM role today, position yourself smartly, hustle players in the middle and look to win it back where you can. Follow runners getting beyond you. In possession keep it on the ground and look at the options ahead and around you.
Marchisio: You're the engine room today, so plenty of power and energy. Hustle the opposition when they're on the ball, and when you get on it drive forward and look to get us into dangerous areas.
Hernanes: Sit between the midfield and defence of the opposition and get on the ball to pull the strings. Look to release the wingers and to feed Martinez but be patient and go backwards if we have to to keep the ball.
Reus/El Sharaawy: Both to start wide but to drift inside and outside - find the space. When you get the ball, take men on and look to fashion a chance to shoot or cross.
Martinez: Movement up front, when the ball is on the wing or with Hernanes make a run and look to get space to fashion a shooting chance.

FC No Respek v Pass the Deutschie

FC No Respek line-up:
------------------- Begovic ----------------
------ Smalling - Bonucci - Caulker ----
Debuchy -------- Parker ----------- Cole
-------- Gerrard -------- Montolivo -----
----------------- Ben Arfa -----------------
--------------------- Ba ---------------------
Subs: Foster, Kjaer, Willems, Tiote, Giggs, Lens, Henry
English players: 5 (Smalling, Caulker, Cole, Parker, Gerrard)
Injuries: Andre Wisdom + Jake Livermore
GENERAL PLAN:
We’re playing a 3-5-2 formation, with Parker sitting as the DM to break up play, Montolivo as playmaker, Gerrard getting forward and Ben Arfa in a free role. The aim is to out-work the opponents in midfield, dominate the wings with our wing backs, and use Ben Arfa’s freedom and Ba’s movement to break through the defence. Any forwards should be easily managed by our back three, which has an experienced head with two pacy and talented CBs alongside it.
FC No Respek tactics:
GK - Begovic – let the CBs know if you can claim the ball or if there is danger lurking around. Parry shots away from danger, try to catch the ball but punch to distance if you need to.
RCB - Smalling – you will pick up a second striker (if there is one). If they play with one forward, help cover at the back - there is a break from midfield, I want you to step in and deal with it, and if Debuchy is caught going forward, step across to cover until he gets back in position.
CCB - Bonucci – you will sit slightly deeper than your CB partners, covering for both and ensuring that the defence and DM know their jobs.
LCB - Caulker – you will pick up the main striker. Keep tight on him, don’t let him settle, if he moves then move with him. Make sure you don’t dive in - keep him at bay until Bonucci can come across to dispossess him.
LWB - Cole – I want you to dominate that left flank. You have the stamina to defend well and get forward, so I want you involved up and down that left side, linking up with Ben Arfa and Montolivo. Get balls into the box for Ba.
RWB - Debuchy – get forward as much as possible, really stick it to their LB. Use Gerrard as an outlet, and get balls into Ba as often as you can. Smalling has your back to really attack them down that right flank.
DM - Parker – you have two jobs: to get stuck in and put them off their game physically, and to keep the ball moving – get the ball to Gerrard/Montolivo, and get Debuchy and Cole in down the flanks.
CM – Gerrard – you have one task today. Unlock the defence and win the game! I want you to be creative, attack at will, get balls forward to Ba and wide to the wing backs, and unleash your shot from distance when space opens up.
Playmaker – Montolivo – your job is to sit deep, control the play, support the attack, get crosses in. You have a great range of passing – use it to feed the wing backs, get the ball slid in for Ba’s runs at goal, and use Ben Arfa’s whenever he’s free.
Free role – Ben Arfa – you can play where you want. Attack from deep, cut in from the flanks, wherever there is space, you should be. Get on the ball, attack their players, play one-twos with Ba and Gerrard to unlock the defence and break through.
ST - Ba – I want you to keep the CBs confused so keep moving, and make plenty of diagonal runs across them. Your teammates will use of the space you create, so make sure you drag defenders with you, and get into the box for crosses and half-chances.
FC No Respek subs:
If winning after 75mins: Giggs for Gerrard. Same formation, look to get the ball moving forward at pace, and use the wingers and Montolivo to create chances.
If drawing after 75mins: Lens for Parker. Lose the DM, Lens and Ben Arfa will double up on the opposition full backs to create chances down both flanks. Ba will be waiting for crosses.
If losing after 75mins: Henry for Caulker. Move to a 4-4-2 formation but with the full-backs getting forward, and a sense of urgency and directness installed throughout the midfield and attack:
--------------- Begovic
Debuchy-Smalling-Bonucci-Cole
Gerrard-Parker-Montolivo-Ben Arfa

Team Talk Up against No Respek in a massive game, when we don't have the ball we'll work as a unit and pressure them when they come into our half Holtby dropping back into midfield. We use both centre and wings to attack Holtby linking the attack and defence. Azzy likes to chop and change his team a lot and I'm hoping to use this to our advantage.
Sippel always communicate with defence let them know if you can claim ball try to catch but punch if you have to kick ball long to Huntelaar.
Boateng priority is to defend watch the ball don't dive in jockey your man push him onto weaker foot when attacking link up with winger pass and move.
Rami watch for SS/AM intercept, block passes they make watch for his runs but don't move out of position jockey and force him back tackle when you need.
Shawcross pick up main striker leap early to win ball be physical but fair shoulder barge him when he gets ball knock him of his stride don't let him settle.
Trémoulinas priority is to defend watch the ball don't dive in jockey your man push him onto weaker foot when attacking make run down wing giving us space for wingers.
Sterling stick to touch line you have a very impressive dribbling rate run at your man with pace make him commit draw fouls get constant balls into box always track back.
Ledesma playmaker demand the ball get it moving for us look for wide men making runs behind the defenders dictate the tempo pick up their midfielders and runs.
Gentner more defensive put pressure on thier attackers close down make them pass back close options intercept get in way keep passing simple.

Injuries: Christian Fuchs, Adel Taarabt4-3-3 (False 9)
Sergio Asenjo (SPA)
Aleksandr Anyukov - Mamadou Sakho - Victor Ruiz (SPA) - Erik Pieters
Abou Diaby - Francis Coquelin - Tomas Rosicky
Douglas Costa - Stevan Jovetic - David Villa (SPA)
Subs: Thomas Kaminski, Mikel San Jose (SPA), Wallace, Darren Fletcher, Milan Badelj, Mateo Kovacic, Pavel Pogrebnyak
Manager's note: A little bit of experimenting today as we play the 4-3-3 "Spanish style". Jovetic playing the false 9 position and Villa playing the LW position he's played regularly for Barcelona. Keep the ball, torment the Murder defence and enjoy yourselves. Three points would be lovely.
Asenjo, command your area, watch for long shots and stay big for one on ones. Stay in communication with your defence.
Sakho/Ruiz, they will only play 1 striker so Sakho dominate him while Ruiz tidies up. Ruiz to also track any midfield runner who breaks forward.
Anyukov/Pieters, force their winger wide, block the cross, stop Pedro as he is the dangerman, whichever fullback faces him will be assisted from midfield.
Coquelin/Diaby/Rosicky, an Arsenal trio, Coquelin the DM who sits in front of the back four and protects them, follow the AM (likely Van der Vaart) and limit his impact. Diaby as a CM, who becomes a second DM if we're under pressure, but on the ball becomes a box to box player and looks to cause damage in the Murder area. Rosicky is the deep lying midfielder, bring the ball forward and look for the front three, but be an extra midfielder when under pressure.
Costa/Jovetic/Villa, an interchangeable front three, but with Jovetic primarily the "false" centre forward. Costa and Villa to cut inside a lot on your favoured foot, pass or shoot, make the Murder defence either bunch infield or stay spread out, either way spaces will appear for any of you to make runs into. Be clinical when a chance presents itself.
---------------------
Subs (70 mins)
If winning: Badelj on, Costa off. Badelj another DM/CM as we play a narrow 4-4-2 to close out the game but leave Jovetic and Villa up top to punish Murder if they overcommit.
If drawing: No changes, although Villa moves to CF and Jovetic to LW to try something different to force the win.
If losing: Pogrebnyak on, Coquelin off. Move to a 4-2-4, Pogrebnyak an extra striker and we go a bit more direct, although still keeping the ball on the ground until we are in a position to cross the ball sensibly.

Italians: Gollini, Santon, Fornasier, Marrone, Petrucci, Miccoli
Under 21's: Gollini, Fornasier, Marrone, Petrucci
Team Talk: Business end of the season guys. We need to pick our form up. Mbia is captain, lead the team today. Keep the defense structured, holding shape will make us tougher to break down. Kroos & Paulinho will be more defensive than VDV. We need to move the ball up the field quick so pay with pace & purpose, by that I mean when playing a pass put the weight into it so that it reaches its target, I dont want to see any sloppy lackluster passing today. We have enough fire power to push the opponent to their defensive limits, make that push until they break. Getting the first goal today is important so go for it, if we manage that its even more significant to follow it up with another as quick as possible so if we take the lead fly out the blocks after the restart & work for another quick as. If we can dent their confidence quickly we can control this match. Possession football isnt the focus today, hitting them hard & fast with precise attacking football is the focus.
Tactics:
Gollini: Communicate with the defense, keep them aware of whos where. Claim any balls by your 6 yard box, corners use your judgement if you can make it. Stay big for one on one's. Distribute out wide.
Mbia & Ogbonna: Mbia to man mark if lone striker, Ogbonna cover. If two strikers each man mark. Don’t let the striker face goal. Get tackles in & challenge for every ball in the air. Its vital to protect the keeper today as he is still building experience up. Only one of you go up for corners, attack the central area.
Santon & Clarke: Mark the opposition wingers. Do not let them inside of you, keep them wide & restricted to crossing which you shall try block. Dont attack today, push up halfway to offer the passing option. Focus on defending, keeping shape is essential as it will make us tougher to break down.
VDV, Kroos & Paulinho: Marshall the midfield. You will all have to help defend. Alternate who pushes forward & when, at no point should all three of you be attacking, always have at least one sitting back. I would prefer Kroos to sit & stay central to dictate the play. Paulinho to play box to box, sit in midfield & make late attacking runs from deep. VDV to be the more attacking out of the trio, use your passing ability to pick out the wide forwards runs & through balls to Miccolli. Paulinho & VDV both to shoot from long range if a good opportunity arises.
Pablo & Pedro: Run at the fullback, use your pace & dribbling skills to take them on. Play through balls for Miccoli to get onto. Vary your play from runs wide to coming inside. If one goes wide the other tuck in to support & play off Miccolli. Shoot on sight in the box. You may also switch flanks throughout the match. Make runs in behind the defenders, also angle runs & try time with each others, this will drag defenders out of position, open space up for others & generally distort the oppositions shape.
Miccolli: Hold up the ball. Play off the last defender. Use your pace to make runs in behind. Keep on your toes & keep movement high, our attempts to distort the oppositions shape should open up holes, use them. Shoot on sight in the box. If one on one round the keeper to set up an open net, getting the goal is the main focus not tricks, showing off or amazing strikes (they come naturally not forced), just get the goal.
Corners: VDV - whip them into the central area.
Free Kicks: VDV (from the right) & Miccolli (from the left)
Penalties: Miccolli

----------------Martinez
Subs: Perin, Distin, Di Silvestri, Sobiech, Diamanti, Bradley
Injuries: El Shaarawy, Camporese
Team Talk: I'm returning to the christmas tree formation because I think it takes advantage of our attacking full backs and our loss of El Shaarawy this week. We are strong in the spine of our team and as we have little to play for, we're going to attack and enjoy the game.
Romero - shout and manouvre your CBs and catch what you can aerially to take the pressure off.
De Sciglio/Rat - Big shifts from you today. We are narrow in midfield, so push up the field when we have the ball and look to get into crossing positions so our CM/AMs can find you. Track back when we lose the ball, but Gago/Biglia will be covering if there is imminent danger out wide.
Evans/Reid - Both guys will be anchored in their zones today because of the buccaneering FBs. Communication is key, so it's good they speak el lingo. Look to clear the lines and if they go aerial I expect you to attack the ball.
Gago/Biglia - Nominally in the centre, but with the task of covering the wide areas if our FBs are up field. On the ball keep it simple, short passes between yourselves in the centre where we have numbers. Look to spread wide where it's on, and get the AMs involved up the pitch.
Marchisio - Lots of energy today, you are the glue in the middle to drive us forward. Get the ball and look to get us up the pitch, breaking forward to support the attacks. When we lose it, hustle in the middle and sink back with the other CMs to ensure cover.
Hernanes/Reus - Sit in the area between their CMs and CBs and drift around to the space looking for the football. When you get it try and spark us with shots, dribbling or passes to Martinez or the FBs on the wings. If we lose it, hustle their deepest midfielders and try and snatch it back quickly - at the very least buy some time for our players to get back defensively.
Martinez - Movement movement movement. Watch where the ball is and then make a run to space so it can find you. When it's wide get in the middle and attack it, and when it's behind you stretch the defence with you.
PKs - Martinez
FKs - Biglia
Corners - Biglia
Subs if winning 75mins:
Bradley for Hernanes - Have Bradley drop into the centre and go 4-4-1-1 with Marchisio sat just ahead and Reus supporting Martinez on breaks. Rein in the full backs and stifle. Stuff the middle of the field.

Iago Aspas (SPA)
Subs: Sergio Asenjo (SPA), Mamadou Sakho, Aleksandr Anyukov, Darren Fletcher, Abou Diaby, Adel Taarabt, David Villa (SPA)
Manager's note: Last game of the season so I'm trying out some of our new players. Mainly today is about enjoying yourselves and ending the season on a high, we still have Top 4 ambitions so don't think this is us taking it easy, this is just relieving the pressure.
Kaminski, show us your worth. Show me why I shouldn't lawyer you. Be strong, communicate with your defence.
Rangel/Fuchs, tell their wingers who's boss. Show them, by giving them a kick early on. Their wingers are lightweight but quick, hurt them early and they'll be yours.
Williams/Miquel, use your pace and your brain. Read the game rather than man mark, intercept rather than tackle, make them make the mistakes.
Akpan/Franny Coq, be calm in possession, Coquelin as the main DM but use the ball wisely, Akpan show why you're the new Yaya Toure, beast them box to box and show why you're keeping Reading up single handedly IRL.
Costa/Nolito, both playing as a reverse winger, both with licence to cut inside onto your stronger foot, pass, shoot, but also look for the overlapping fullback.
Jovetic/Aspas, Jovetic you are the playmaker, create space and chances for Aspas. Aspas, you're a goalscorer, so do your god damn job. Try to lose your marker and shoot on sight. There's a chance they'll be expecting Villa, so show them why you got picked ahead of him.

Team Talk Up against Zidanes side who are on poor form and near the bottom. Last game of season lets go out with a win.
Fridel always communicate with defence let them know if you can claim ball try to catch but punch if you have to kick ball long to Huntelaar.
Boateng priority is to defend watch the ball don't dive in jockey your man push him onto weaker foot when attacking link up with winger pass and move.
Rami watch for SS/AM intercept, block passes they make watch for his runs but don't move out of position jockey and force him back tackle when you need.
Shawcross pick up main striker leap early to win ball be physical but fair shoulder barge him when he gets ball knock him of his stride don't let him settle.
Gibbs priority is to defend watch the ball don't dive in jockey your man push him onto weaker foot when attacking make run down wing giving us space for wingers.
Sterling stick to touch line you have a very impressive dribbling rate run at your man with pace make him commit draw fouls get constant balls into box always track back.
Ledesma playmaker demand the ball get it moving for us look for wide men making runs behind the defenders dictate the tempo pick up their midfielders and runs.
Gentner more defensive put pressure on thier attackers close down make them pass back close options intercept get in way keep passing simple.
Barnetta link up with Holtby cut inside shoot or pass Gibbs will give the width dribble always mix up your play keep defender guessing always track back.
Holtby the link between attack and defence always move around feed Huntelaar through balls to him make runs of him drop into midfield and put pressure on their DM stopping thier attacks.
Huntelaar play as predator get into positions to score make move nets don't let them pick you up when you get ball pass and move on.

SPANISH BANK v ATALANTA FALCONS
- Spanish Bank:
-------------------Cesar
-------Jagielka-Kaboul-Vertonghen
Clyne--------------------------------------Alba
------------ Arteta -Pogba- Suarez
--------------------Aspas
------------------Benteke
Tactics: Alright, start of the season and I’m looking for a strong performance against what many people consider the frontrunners in this division. Even though we’re underdogs, if we more than match them for effort and out compete them we can come away with something here. Let’s get something to build on for the rest of the season
I want us to be solid, and then break with pace and penetration at them.
GK: Cesar, communicate, keep the back 3 organised and be prepared to come out and clear if necessary.
Kaboul: You’re taking the main striker today, be aggressive, physical. They can rotate with their forwards so be aware of this.
Vertonghen/Jagielka: You two are covering, be aware of threats from deep. If a second striker plays, alternate marking him depending on which side he goes. Also be aware of the gaps left by the fullbacks if they get caught high up the pitch
Clyne/Alba: You two are providing the width for us today, push up on wingers if some play and put them under pressure, otherwise push up into advanced positions when we have the ball. Attack their fullbacks and look to get into dangerous positions to deliver crosses. Drop back in when we don’t have the ball
Arteta: Sit deep, cover the space left by Clyne if necessary. Look to distribute from deep and start off attacks. Pull the strings for us in midfield.
Suarez: Look to shackle their AM if one plays, harass him and stop him linking up on the edge of the area.
Pogba: Box to box for you today, push up when we have the ball and look to run their midfield ragged. When we don’t have the ball stick to Verrati, we have to stop him pulling the strings if he plays.
Aspas: Playing off Benteke, look to link up with him and make runs off him. Roam to the space available and be clinical.
Benteke: Vidic is out so you can dominate Evans and his replacement. Make it stick up top and look to find players in advanced positions around you, or turn your man and get a shot off. Be strong in the air, you can get chances there.
Penalties: Arteta
Free Kicks: Arteta
Corners: Arteta
Subs:
If losing: 70 mins: Pogba for Rakitic: Scrap the b2b role push up into an AM role.
If losing: 70 mins: Niang for Aspas: Get up next to Benteke and use your pace to stretch the backline.

vs Spanish Bank FC
----------------Romero
Abate-----Evans-----Dante-----Filipe
-------Biglia---Verratti---Gago
---------Hernanes----Reus
---------------Osvaldo
Subs: Leali, Camporese, Di Silvestri, Cassano, Bradley, Martinez
Injuries: El Shaarawy, Vidic
Team talk: It didn't happen for us in the league last year, but I think I've got a formation to suit the strengths of the squad and I want to see you play positive attacking football. We're up against a good side but I think if we can be smart in possession and utilise our attacking threats we will be in good stead.
Romero - be a goalie, one of them good ones, not a crap one. Communicate with the defence and if you're coming for the ball make solid contact to knock it away. Mix up the distribution, but shorter where possible.
Abate/Filipe - Both noted as attacking threats at full back, so I want you to provide width when we go forward and look to get the ball in when you have space. Hopefully it pins their wingers back, but when they are attacking stand them up and force a pass back inside.
Evans/Dante - Simple job of protecting your side today, each of you take a side and take responsibility for it. Don't get dragged out, be rigid and send anything that comes in high back out. Don't commit to tackles, stand up, jockey and force a backwards or sideways move.
Biglia/Gago - With the full backs pushing on your dual role will firstly contain covering their gaps if a break is on. In possession be smart with the ball and move it short to our playmakers. Stay relatively deep and be constantly reading the danger when they have to ball to come up with the interceptions.
Verratti - You're the conductor of our attacks today, and I want you demanding the ball in the middle and setting us on our way. Probe their defence from deeper and look for the AMs ahead or the full backs breaking upfield. Be smart with the distribution but take a risk if there is a high reward. Defensively hold position in the centre and don't commit.
Hernanes/Reus - Playing behind the frontman allows you both the freedom to drift between the lines. Go across the field, find pockets of space and Verratti will pick you out. From there use your imagination and either feed a ball through, shoot, take people on, or look for a wide man. Just play your instinctive creative football.
Osvaldo - Stay central, and look to be an outlet for balls through. Crosses may be whipped in by the FBs so look for space and shake your markers. You have that touch of eccentricity about you and I don't want to curb it - so if you are taken by the mood go for the spectacular.
Subs if winning on 75mins
Bradley for Verratti - defensive energy in the centre
Di Silvestri for Abate - solid defender to protect the left side from Alba et al
Subs if losing 70mins
Cassano for Gago - go 4-2-3-1 and have Cassano on the left wing cutting in to shoot

Captain: Subo

Corners: Cazorla
Team Talk: Opening day of the season ,We're up against decent opposition today so it's time to set a marker
Weidenfeller: Adebayor will start up front so come from crosses and either punch or catch, When have the ball release to a full back or into Santi
Jenkinson: I want you to get forward today and whip crosses into the box, When defending force them inside towards Capoue, If get outside block the cross.
Y.Mbiwa: Im expecting 1 up top so your be watching for any on running AM's, Just keep in line with the rest of defence, If Subo gets beat use your pace to clear up
Subotic: Stick to Adebayor make sure he gets no time on the ball, Always contest against him in the air nudge him make sure he doesn't get his head on the ball
Balzaretti: All i want is for you to sit back today and defend your winger as their RB likes to get forwards, When defending don't let them down the outside to get a cross in. When going forwards just give whoever is infront of you the chance to pass and move
Capoue: I want you to set about the midfield get in their faces and make sure they don't have time on the ball, when have the ball move it quickly into the front 3. When defending block the line between midfield and forwards
Jones: Sit on the outlet of their side whoever is dictating their play, Follow him around the pitch and make sure he doesn't influence anything, if get the ball off him get forwards and play it to front 3, When under pressure drop back and make a 5 at the back
AM's (Muniain/Michu/Cazorla) You will be playing as a mix up front 3, So drift about cause their midfield issues of who to track, Santi will start outwide but will most likely drift inside, Muniain to go from Wing to Wing to get involve in the play and have a go at each full back so they don't get settled, Michu will drift between the lines and go up top if Di Natale being crowded out
Di Natale: Sit on the slower CB and make runs in behind them, If they start to crowd you out Michu will go up top so drop off a bit into space and link up with him making runs from deep into the box
Subs: Michu off for Farfan - Santi to go AM - Muniain LW - Farfan RW @ 75 mins if drawing

GK- Carson
RWB Liestchiner
CB Ferdinand
CB Nastasic
CB Gamberini
LWB Bertrand
CM Diarra
DM Lucio
RF Lamela
LF Ayew
ST Aubameyang
Lads we are thin in the middle so we improvise, lucio, as the most experience you will be playing na DM role, when we attack the RF and LF will tuck in leaving room for overlapping LBs, there Lucio will slot in at CB leaving Gamberini and Anton to Play FB,
GK, we are expecting alot of pressure so be on top form, look to throw to FBs from catches and from GKs look for the simple ball if needed, play it safe a parry away from goal, be voval as you are stand in captain.
CBs, look to get it away ASAP, be prepeared to cover on counter attacks on us, as stated before, Gambers and Ferdi move out wide to the wings, my guess is one up top so nastasicon him, look to be tight and cut of service,never let him get goal side and if avaible over CBs move in for a double team.
FBs, when defending slot in along side CBs and forma back 5,but look to get down the wings,link uop with your corresponding forward and get out wide leaving moiré room centrally, look for low crosses to exploit Aub’s pace, but defnce first and don’t go forward unless accepotable.
CMs, Lucio your out of position but needed, sit back and act as an extra defender almost,siton there AM and use you experience to shut them out, don’t attack tho, be defensive and lockdown centrally, Diarra, be defensice also patrol the middle and cut out any balls, watch for other Cms or DMs getting forward, however lookto make bursting runs forward and counter, look for balls forwards into attacking areas,
RF+LF, sit in the space behind the midfield and in front of the defence, try to create room for your self, look to be overlapped and play mainly inside toward the CBs, try to put balls through to Aub, also take on the FBs, don’t get Caught with DMs, Loom to interchange with each other, shoot from range,but also look to make runs into the box, be creative.
ST, Aubs use your pace to move around and draw the CBs with you and create room for the forwards, try to get inbehind and hold it up for the Forwards , make front post runs to get ontolow ball fromout wide, but primarily create room for others.

FC ElphickForJustice v FC Murder on Zidanes Floor
Injuries: Sebastian Giovinco & Rafael Da Silva
Line Up:
Mannone
Nagatomo----Mbia----Astori----Ogbonna
Cork----Marrone
Blaszczykowski------Lampard------Pedro
Chicharito
Subs: Gollini, Fornasier, Petrucci, Pablo, Miccoli.
Team Talk: First game of season lads. Tricky one with players injured & away on loan. Chance for some of you to earn your place. Our approach today will be to play a deep defensive line to counter FC EFJ attacking pace & to hit them on the break. Keep our shape when defending in order to frustrate & block out FC EFJ attacks. We will play with men behind the ball to shut up shop. With Nocerino & Asamoah injured a lot of our play will start in the center as I feel this is where they are weakest. Cork, Marrone & Lampard will look to retain & hold possession if we cant break quick waiting for the right pass to our forwards. When the counter is on we will look to our wingers & Chicharito. Jakub & Pedro's pace & trickery can lure players in, complimenting Chicharito's knack of finding space.
Tactics:
Mannone: Chance to impress.Talk to your defense, help them keep organised & they will look after you. Claim crosses around your 6 yard box. Be quick off the mark for one on ones. Distribute to DM's.
Mbia & Astori: Close down in & around our box, we need to protect Mannone. Play a deep line as their forwards have pace, dont play offside trap, always keep goal side. Challenge for everything in the air, get tackles & blocks in. Dont get too tight on the forward(s) as we dont want them turning you, stand them up & try push onto weak foot/out wide.
Nagatomo & Ogbonna: Not your natural positions but both of you have played there before. Want you to stay back today, focus on defending. Hold your line. Block crosses. Both of you should be quick enough to keep up with their wide men/forwards.
Lampard, Cork & Marrone: As a trio keep the ball, basic triangles & wait for the right pass.
Cork & Marrone: With Nocerino & Asamoah injured its a perfect chance to win the middle of the pitch. Defensively help our fullbacks out if needed. Protect the defense. With the center looking weakest for FC EFJ attacks will start here through you guys & Lamps. Push up a little when attacking but one of you only & not too far forward, act as a central hub for the ball to run travel through.
Lampard: Cork & Marrone will require leadership today which you need to provide. Defensively drop & support them, with a prone FC EFJ midfield you three need to take charge. Attacking I want you to get forward through the middle. On the counter carry the ball forward quick or look for that early pass to play to our wingers runs then carry your run on into the box. A ball over the top for Chicharito wouldnt go a miss. Shoot from distance.
Blaszczykowski & Pedro: Both have great pace & shooting ability but today your going to have to work hard. Lichtsteiner & Bertrand are mostly likely lining up & both like to attack so if they get forward help your fullback out by tracking them.On the counter you really have to be quick off the mark. If the fullback are out of position take advantage of the space. If not make your runs in behind them but coming inside, Lamps will look to play you in. Makes sure to mix it up though as to not become predictable. When wide take your man on. Get crosses in aimed for Chicharito. When inside shoot from around & inside the box. If there is 3 CB'c do you best to support Chicharito.
Chicharito: Play more central & off the shoulder. There could be a slight chance of 3 CB's, if so Ill get the wingers to drift in more to support if so. If 2 CB's you may get isolated but on the counter attack you will have support. Pin yourself on the slowest CB, this way your quickness & movement should allow you to get into good positions. Crosses will be aimed for you, used that spring in your jump to win those headers. Jakub & Pedro will be shooting when inside, Lamps from distance so be alert to any spillages from the keeper or loose balls from blocks etc. Shoot on sight when through on goal or in the box. Any through balls where you end up wide or if you are forced wide the winger will move inside so look for that pass or play it back to any of central trio. Off the ball chase the CB's down the they have it, try force a mistake. Contact in the box go down & win a penalty.
Set Pieces:
Pen: Lampard
Corners: Blaszczykowski
Free Kicks: Lampard or Blaszczykowski.

----------Scholes --- Jones
Farfan -----------Michu--------Muniain
-------------Di Natale
Subs: Forster/Berezutski/Reveillere/Ince/Redmond/Milito/Szalai
Captain: Darijo Srna
VC: Antonio Di Natale
FK: Antonio Di Natale/Darijo Srna within 30 yards/ Paul Scholes 30 yards+
Penalties: Antonio Di Natale or Michu
Team Talk: Up against one of the better sides in the league they have a very good defence but are reasonably light in midfield so we're going to try overrun them.
Weidenfeller: Today i want you to come for crosses as they have Benteke who is extremely good in the air, Either punch or catch make sure the ball doesn't get to him.
Defence: We're going to play a high line today to compress their midfield and keep Benteke away from the goal that Mbiwa can use his pace to get back at him
Srna: I want you to bomb forward today overlap Farfan give him option of the outside of him as Jordi Alba is out today so we're going to pressure the replacement LB, When defending force him inside don't let him get down the wing and if he does block the cross
Yanga Mbiwa: Your going to the floating Sweeper today so if they don't play 2 up top i want you to sweep up knock downs and if they get in behind Subo use your pace to get back at their forwards, Ispas will drift around between Midfield and Defence so leave him alone as Jones will pick him up and watch for the ball in behind
Subotic: Today your going to mark Benteke as close as possible without fouling, If they ball comes long don't let him back just jump and head the ball away drawing a FK, Make sure they if he controls the ball he can only play the ball backwards back into a congested midfield. Pick him up at Corners as make sure he doesn't get infront of the keeper
Balzaretti: Today your going to go forwards and give Muniain the option, We want to press their midfield so the higher we get the less space their is for them to play, When defending force them inside aswell Jones will double team them with you, if go outside then stop the cross
Scholes: I want you to dictate the play sit deep almost making a make 5 so that the option if their if pressed on, Pass the ball around into feet occasionally pinging it outwide to farfan/muniain if making a run behind, When we don't have the ball pressure their main outlet forcing them to either launch it up field or play backwards
Jones: Your playing as an auxiliary CM/DM Your get forwards making bursting runs into the box when have the ball look to play people in or keep possession, When defending sit on Aspas as he'll try sit in between the gap between midfield/defence, Make sure the ball doesn't get into him if it does then make sure he's forced backwards and can't get the ball to Benteke, If they come down the wing help Balzaretti defend
Farfan: They have a replacement LB today so i want you to keep on attacking them with pace go inside and out force them to defend make tackles they shouldn't do, Srna will overlap so i want you to double team him keep the ball moving if one goes outside you go inside pass and move around the LB, When defending double team the winger make sure he no way out or can get the ball to anyone, Michu will make runs to create space go into them if on your side
Michu: Your going to play as a CF today just in the gap between defence and midfield, Make runs in between the 2/3 cb's forcing them to either follow you or leave you in space, your runs will create space for Di Natale/Farfan/Muniain to get in on goal, If getting marked by a DM then move up top and play a front 2, When defending sit on the outlet presumably Iturraspe and make sure he can't get play as he usually would.
Muniain: Today is about cramming the midfield of space for them so when attacking i want you to run inside and take on their fb/cbs and leave space on the outside for Balzaretti, When taking them out look for balls in behind their defence for Di Natale/Michu to get on the end of, if need to go down the wing Balzaretti will sit 5 yards back to give you an out option, Michu will make runs to open to defence up for the front 3 to get at. When defending help triple team with winger/FB with Balzaretti/Jones
Di Natale: Your movement will be key today with Michu making runs in behind the defence it will create gaps to get into and with your movement your runs will cause chaos in their back 4/5, Pick the slowest CB and when Michu creates the space dart in behind that CB so they can't catch you, make sure you take the chances you get as will be pretty limited today
Substitutions
If Losing Szalai/Milito on for Di Natale/Michu go 4-4-2
If Drawing Michu off for Milito go 4-4-2
If Winning Michu off for Berezutski - Yanga Mbiwa to go into midfield and Berezutski to partner Subotic

Jagielka-Ferdinand-Dawson
Piszczek---------------------Vertonghen
Iturraspe-Rakitic-Suarez
Aspas
Benteke
Alright, good point in our opening game, and we've freshened up the squad, so I want to see high energy levels today and continue our momentum. We want to continue being solid at the back and breaking with purpose, though we'll open it up a bit more this week. If they play 2 up top we can win the midfield battle and control the game.
Vertonghen gives us freedom to move Piszczek further up, and have Jagielka cover what becomes a back 4 if hes caught high, though Pis needs to remember to drop back in.
GK: Cesar, communication is going to be key today, you need to keep the defense organised if Piszczek is high, you can see the field, keep them aware.
Jagielka: Be aware to cover for Piszczek, they feature strong wingers, so if they play stand them up. Don't dive in and hold your ground.
Ferdinand: Covering today, use your brain to anticipate their moves and to watch Michu's movement if he plays behind a striker. If a 2nd striker plays, pick him up and Suarez will take the AM. Bring the ball out from deep if you can.
Dawson: You're taking their main striker today, be aggressive with him, compete aerially. You have cover so don't be afraid to get the ball if you see an opportunity.
Piszczek: Push up today, give us width on the right. If their winger doesn't want to track back, try and double up with Aspas or Rakitic on their full back and put balls in for Benteke.
Vertonghen: More reserved FB role than Piszczek today, they feature strong wingers, but if they play, stand them up, keep your feet and make them go the long way round.
Suarez: Cover the AM if one plays, get in his face disrupt him when the service comes him and keep him facing his own goal. Mark him out the game.
Iturraspe: Control the tempo of this game from deep for us, Help cover Jagielka when they have the ball, but when we have it, get on the ball, get us moving upfield and make yourself available for returns. You're our main playmaker from deep.
Rakitic: Free role today, Go in search of spaceand create openings for our offensive players. Demand the ball. If Scholes plays, get in his face when they have the ball, otherwise look to get at their deep playmerk if one plays.
Aspas: Get around Benteke, feed off the service and make runs off him. If Piszczek gets forward help overlap him with the FB. Plenty of movement, drag their 2nd CB around the pitch.
Benteke: Leading the attack again today, be physical, make their CBs work. If M'Biwa plays try to get on him for crosses coming in. Make it stick up top and look to either tuyrn your man or bring others into play.
Pen: Benteke
FK: Rakitic
Corners: Rakitic
Subs:
If Losing: 70 mins: Suarez for Niang: Get on the shoulder of the last man and look to push them back with your pace.
If winning: 70 mins: Rakitic for Pogba: Go box to box and get in the face of their playmaker.

FC MURDER ON ZIDANES FLOOR v ATALANTA FALCONS

FC Murder on Zidanes Floor v Atalanta Falcons
Injuries: Davide Petrucci, Jakub Blaszczykowski
Line Up:Subs: Gollini, Jenkinson, Fornasier, Marrone, Cork, Hernández, Miccoli
Abbiati
Rafael----Ogbonna----Astori----Coentrão
Mbia
Pedro----Kroos----Lampard----Giovinco
Chicharito
Italians - Starting: Abbiati, Ogbonna, Astori, Giovinco. Subs: Gollini, Fornasier, Marrone, Miccoli
Team Talk:
Tactics:Tough match today against who i feel are our main Championship rivals. Stay organised, to the game plan & we will come out on top. We are setting up with the though in mind of Reus & El Sharaawy playing as AM's or wingers with Verratti dictating play. Counteractions have been put in place to stop the Falcons most influential players. I feel the Falcons are weakest in the wide defensive positions. On the attack the idea is to overwhelm the Falcons defense, mainly the CB's. With a fullback overlapping taking on theirs our aim is to get our wingers coming inside to attack the Falcons CB allowing Chicharito to use the space & be fed the ball. With our attacking pace the Falcons DM's shouldnt be able to keep up. Vidic will be targeted due to his lack of pace & liability to commit fouls.
Abbiati: Well experienced so use that to control your area & help the defense stay organised. Be prepared to claim the ball in & around your 6 yard box. Be quick & stay big for one on ones. Distribute out wide, our right side is of preference.
Ogbonna & Astori: Play a deep back line today to counteract the pace from Falcons attacking threats. Expecting a lone striker, if so Astori mark & Ogbonna cover & watch for any threat from Reus. If two strikers each mark one, Ogbonna taking the quicker. Stay central, dont get dragged out of position. Only time you should be out of position is when you are forcing a Falcons attacking player out wide or backwards.
Rafael & Coentrão: If Reus & El Sharaawy are central pick them up when they drift wide & stop them playing the ball forward. If there playing wide as wingers you need to stop them coming inside, keep them wide, Mbia will come across to double up so we should be able to box in & contain. If they are central you will have a lot of space to attack, use it when appropriately with one of you attacking at a time, overlap our wingers which will stretch the Falcons & open gaps. If they are wide I doubt the will track back so go forward with cation as you need to get back into position, Mbia will cover.
Mbia: Big role today. Do not go forward today. If there is two AM's, Reus & El Sharaawy I want you to pick up El Sharaawy as hes the slower out the two & stay on him, be aggressive with him, stifle his play. If Reus & El Sharaawy are playing as wingers I need you to get across to cover/double up with the fullback to whichever wing the threat is coming from.
Kroos & Lampard: Play box to box. Verratti should be central, when we aren't in possession of the ball one of you sit on Verratti at all times as he will be pulling the strings. We will look to limit the amount of influence he has on the match. The free man should be closing down any other of the Falcons midfielders. Attacking, one of you needs to push forward & support Chicharito. Get in & around the box, shoot from distance, Chicharito's movement in the box can be deadly so look to feed him as well as Pedro & Giovinco. Alternate who the tasks though out the match.
Pedro & Giovinco: Defensively track back if the Falcons fullbacks try to get forward, its essential you pick them up. Im hoping your attacking game should pin them back, stay quite high up the field, attack the fullbacks, neither are great defenders. Get crosses in aimed for Chicharito. Vary your play, cut inside looking to play in our attackers or shoot. When our fullback overlaps look to receive the ball & run at the Falcons CB's to then play Chicharito in or shoot. Use your dribbling abilities to take men on, always look to take the ball forward.
Chicharito: Stay up top. Expecting Evans & Vidic, if so stick on Vidic, hes slower & more likely to give fouls away due to your pace. Play off his shoulder. Keep your movement rate high when we are in possession & on the attack. Shoot on sight in the box. Attack crosses, use your great movement to get that yard of space you need to win the headers. Be alert to any lose balls or spillages in the box.
Set Pieces:
Pen: Lampard
Corners: Lampard
Free Kicks: Lampard or Kroos.
Subs: If losing on 64th minute: Pedro off, Miccoli on.Rafael & Coentrão get up the wide, supply width & get crosses in.

Subs: Leali, Dante, Rat, Bradley, Gago, Osvaldo

Team talk: A point isn't a bad start but we need to start being clinical and winning tight games. We have a solid base to build from today with an experienced back pair and some real creativity up top. Utilse the football in the middle, move it around and let the creative sparks provide cutting edge.
Romero - Communicate with the defence and if you're coming for the ball make solid contact to knock it away. Mix up the distribution.
Abate/Filipe - I want you to support attacks going forward but don't get caught out up the pitch; don't go into the final third. Hopefully you can drag your wingers with you so their counters are nullified. Stand your man up, show him outside and isolate him. Crosses into the box can be dealt with by the CBs.
Evans/Vidic - Experienced pair, and you can work together. I expect their striker to have plenty of movement so don't get sucked out of position, stay rigid at the back and deal with balls into the box while coming out quickly to block shots from distance.
Biglia - Stay deeper today and patrol the space ahead of the centre backs. Look for the danger and for midfielders making breaks; communicate with your defence to make sure everyone is covered. Simple passes today.
Verratti - You're the conductor of our attacks, and I want you demanding the ball in the middle and setting us on our way. Probe their defence from deeper and look for the spaces ahead. Be smart with the distribution but take a risk if there is a high reward. Defensively hold position in the centre and don't commit. Work with Biglia.
Hernanes - You're the man behind the striker today, and I want you to stay between the lines and look for the ball. When it comes your way, feed it to one of the wingers or the striker but use it sensibly and don't be afraid to go back to Verratti and reset the attack. If they are sitting off you, have a crack at goal.
Reus/El Shaarawy - Out on the wings today, but you have the ability to go inside and out. Go to where the space is, and if they are showing you outside, take them on and whip it in for Martinez. When you are coming inside look to link with Hernanes and Martinez and combine to create chances. If the space opens up, hit a shot. Reus will likely be against Coentrao - look to take advantage of his positioning if he pushes up.
Martinez - Simple role, just sniff out chances. Be a target, be moving and link play with the men around you. When you are in the 18 yard box, twist, turn and finish.
Subs if winning on 75mins
Bradley for Verratti - defensive energy in the centre
Osvaldo for Martinez - bigger target and strong enough to keep the ball
Subs if losing 75mins
Osvaldo for Hernanes - 4-4-2 (but more 4-2-4) and just kitchen sink it.

SPANISH BANK FC v FC MURDER ON ZIDANES FLOOR
- Spanish Bank FC:
- Cesar
Dawson-Vlaar-Vertonghen
Piszczek-------------------Alba
Iturraspe-Herrera-Suarez
Belhanda
Benteke
Alright 3 solid draws so far against very good teams, but its time to push on and convert them into wins to push up the table. Our opponents feature a vast array of attacking talent, esp throughout midfield and wide so we're going to be solid then break with purpose when we catch them on the front foot against their defense which we feel is vulnerable. Lets test out Mannone, he's suspect so pepper him with shots and put in some tempting crosses
Cesar: Be strong, communicate well.
Dawson/Vertonghen: Don't let our FBs get doubled up on, be aware to cover. Watch Chicarito's movement, he has an annoying knack of being in the right place so cut off the supply.
Vlaar: Get physical with Chicarito, keep him goalside, you have cover. Watch his movement and anticipate the supply before it reaches him.
Pisczcek/Alba: Disciplined play today, don't leave us vulnerable when they have the ball. Watch the overlap, theres cover behind. When we get it, push up the field and get at their FBs, they aren't great defensively. Remember to drop back in quickly.
Iturraspe: Help cover the midfield threats, if Lampard pushes up take him. When we have it control the tempo, get us moving from deep, feed Belhanda and Herrera
Herrera: Drop back in to make a 3 when we lose it, help disrupt their passing moves and cramp the space. When we get it push and take advantage of the space left by Belhanda and influence the play.
Suarez: Take Kroos when he pushes up, don't let him get a free look at goal or get his head up. Disrupt them, make them make quick decisions with it.
Belhanda: Free role, drift to the space and lose your marker so you can pick it and run at goal. Work a shot or feed Benteke or the wing backs. Play goes through you, however if they assign a couple to you, act as a decoy and open up space for others.
Benteke: You can dominate their FBs physically, get on top of them make it hard for them. Hold it up and big otehrs into play or look to get onto the end of crosses.
Corners: Belhanda
Free Kicks: Belhanda
Penalties: Benteke

Spanish Bank FC v FC Murder on Zidanes Floor
Injuries: Pierluigi Gollini, Christian Abbiati
Line Up:
Mannone
Rafael----Ogbonna----Astori----Coentrão
Kroos----Lampard
Blaszczykowski----Giovinco----Pedro
Chicharito
Subs: Jenkinson, Mbia, Fornasier, Marrone, Cork, Pablo, Miccoli
Italians - Starting: Mannone, Ogbonna, Astori, Giovinco. Subs: Fornasier, Marrone, Miccoli
Team Talk:Tricky away game but with Jags & Rio injured we have a chance to take advantage of Bank's attacking fullback & stand-in CB's. I believe there are weakness' in a few areas, fullbacks for one are very attacking & their central midfield is not as good as ours. I have opted to try pin back their fullbacks by keeping our wingers high up the field, this will either cut their width off or give our wingers more space when Piszczek & Alba have drifted forward forgetting about our high wingers leaving the pace of Blaszczykowski, Pedro & Chicharito against three slower CB's . Either or will work for us. Our attacks however will start in the center of the pitch, Lamps & Kroos are good enough to own that midfield & with Giovinco in front we feel with Bank's midfield not as strong we can move the ball up the pitch to the front men quicker & also have more passing options with the runs from Blaszczykowski, Pedro,Giovinco & Chicharito.
Tactics:
Mannone: Been here, done it before. You know whats expected of you. Control your area & keep your defense informed, they will protect you. Claim balls around your 6 yard box. Stay big for on on ones.
Ogbonna & Astori: If Benteke is a lone striker Ogbonna will mark as he had the physical build & speed to keep up. Astori to cover, watch for oncoming SS/AM runs. If two strikers Ogbonna mark Benteke & Astori the other. Press the opposition when they are around our box, dont let them past you, tackles & challange for every ball in the air, make sure you win those headers.
Rafael & Coentrão: First & foremost defend. If bank set up like previous the only width will come from Piszczek & Alba, if they do push up stop them getting anything into the box, try nick the balls off them quick & release one of our wingers. We plan to pin them back, if this is working get up the pitch allowing our wingers to get narrow & you guys keep the width. Get crosses in but try more low crosses, ball to feet & cut backs to any or our attackers. Dont both push up at the same time, be sensible about attacking, need one of you back so we arent short in defense.
Kroos & Lampard: Boss the match today, make the midfield yours. Its a weak area for Bank so this is where we must capitalise. You need to ensure you help defensively pressing players & getting stuck in. Your your passing ability to move the ball to the front men quick. Attacks will run though the center, we will play narrow with wingers coming inside so just sit central today & dictate the tempo & play. Shoot from distance if the opportunity arises.
Blaszczykowski & Pedro: Need you to stop the fullbacks Piszczek & Alba getting forward. They will be looking to bring width in which you two can restrict. If you play higher up the pitch they will be force to mark you, if not you will have plenty of space to use & cause damage from. If Bank commit men forward & our fullbacks need help get back & help. Otherwise just stay up the pitch. Both of you mix up your play, go inside or out. When our fullbacks get forward cut inside & get support Giovinco & Chicharito making a narrow central attack. Our fullbacks will give width forcing Piszczek & Alba to stay wide & back when we are attacking.
Giovinco: Want you to sit in the hole & drift around that central area. With the ball at your feet play to you strengths, use your pace & dribbling ability to take players on. Shoot from around the 18 yard box and inside the box. Use quick link up play around the area to make space.
Chicharito: Expected to be up against three CB's reserve your energy for when we are on the attack as thats when I want you movement to be at its most in order to get in the gaps. Dont drift wide, stay central. Shoot on sight in the box. Always look to be first to any loose balls, spills from the keeper of defensive errors.

4-3-3
GK, same as usual, safe play, come for crosses and parry away from goal, you need to ne vocal and organise those in front, look to throw out and aim for bony on goal kicks.
Defence:
Fullbacks defence first look to isolate the wingers out wide, cut off their service, get forward occasionally and get balls into bony, CBs will work as a team, one will be on the striker if one up font and if 2 zonal, look to get physical straight away and assert your authority, make them work to get the better of you,
Midfield:
Tote, you sit back and mark the Am, get into him and make big tackles from the off, rough him up take him out the game, Stevie and Nocerino, play box to box burst forward when attacking , take shots from range if needed, look to spread the ball to the wingers and look to give it to bony, when defending marshall the rest of the space, cut off balls and look to counter straight away, but also be prepared to cover wide and for tiote.
Wingers; Sam you get out wide take on the FB, whip crosses in for bony to attack, also get inside and run at the CB, create room for other, get to the by-line and pull it back, Aubameyang, you will also get wide but look to cut in and support Bony mainly, use your pace to get in space and engage defenders, look to shoot both of you, Sam get back as much as possible to help willems, Aubameyang, get back on occasion but liestiener is a stronger FB so stay forward unless nessecarly to get back .

ATALANTA FALCONS v VFL BASSENDER
- Atalanta Falcons:
vs Fassbender/Bassender (something ender)
----------------Romero
Abate-----Evans-----Vidic-----Filipe
----------Biglia------Verratti
--------------Hernanes
-----Reus--El Sharaawy--Mertens
Subs: Leali, Camporese, Di Silvestri, Cassano, Dante
Injuries: Bradley, Gago
Team talk: Injuries have rather forced my hand here so I have gone with an extremely attacking outlook to try and get at the opposition and accelerate away. We want to play high tempo but we want to keep the ball as the best method of defence!
Romero - Communicate with the defence and if you're coming for the ball make solid contact to knock it away. Mix up the distribution, but shorter where possible.
Abate/Filipe - Both noted as attacking threats at full back, so I want you to provide width when we go forward and look to get the ball in when you have space. Hopefully it pins their wingers back, but when they are attacking stand them up and force a pass back inside.
Evans/Vidic - Simple job of protecting your side today, each of you take a side and take responsibility for it. Don't get dragged out, be rigid and send anything that comes in high back out. Don't commit to tackles, stand up, jockey and force a backwards or sideways move.
Biglia/Verratti - With the full backs pushing on your dual role will firstly contain covering their gaps if a break is on. In possession be smart with the ball. Stay relatively deep and be constantly reading the danger when they have to ball to come up with the interceptions. Verratti to push up more when we have the ball and to pull the strings from deeper.
Hernanes - Push up behind the forwards when we are attacking and look to get your foot on the ball and open up the field for them with through balls. When we lose it, funnel back to halfway and be ready to nick it away or receive it to launch a counter attack.
Mertens/Reus/El Sharaawy - All three of you are nominally forwards and I want you to interchange positions and attack the defence from all angles. Look to overload them and make clever runs for Hernanes to find you. On the ball try to link up but if you are isolated you are all capable of beating a man and getting either a shot or cross away.
Subs if winning on 75mins
Dante for Mertens - Switch to 5-3-2 and protect the lead.
Di Silvestri for Abate - solid defender to protect the left side and shore up the defensive efforts
Subs if losing 70mins
Martinez and Cassano for Hernanes and Mertens - go 4-2-3-1 and have Cassano on the left wing cutting in to shoot

TACTICS
We are bottom of the league and have a difficult game to start off with. It is essential we defend well and look to keep a clean sheet. Get the players fired up and looking to prove themselves. We have a few new faces in today as we look to reverse the trend and get us on a positive points total for the season.
DEFENSE
Reus and El Shaarawy are the big threats and we need to be quick to close them down, making sure they have little time and space. We will have a flat back four with five in front, two players should rush to get the ball off their players. If they play as wingers, then Strootman and Leitner should be quick to support the full back winning back possession. If they play more narrow then Podolski and Remy should come in more narrow and we should mirror them in AM roles, congesting the middle of the pitch. Puyol and Albiol should both be strong and win all aerial battles with the striker, win possession and blast the ball clear, nothing pretty today. Shane Long should be his usual hardworking self and give their defense no time to use the ball, get deep and stop Verratti playmaking with either Remy or Podolski moving higher up.
ATTACK
Garcia should stay back (apart from set pieces), Strootman should be a deep-lying playmaker getting long balls forward to the forwards. Leitner is in a box to box role, looking to get forward as often as possible, full of energy. Podolski and Remy should play as inside forwards exploiting the space between their full backs and centre backs, both are powerful and can hold onto the ball and should look to do just that. Long is an intelligent player who should look to draw the defenders out of position with his running and he can finish when he gets the chance.
Set pieces will be crucial for us as we feel that there isn't much height throughout their team. Podolski, Remy, Albiol, Garcia, Matheiu, Strootman are all 6 foot+ and should all overload them in the box.
SET PIECES
Left Corner - Leitner
Right Corner - Strootman
Free Kicks - Podolski
Penalties - Podolski
SUBSTITUTIONS
If winning bring on Buttner and Joaquin for Podolski and Long. Remy should move upfront and Matheiu to left wing in a more rigid 4-5-1 formation.
If drawing bring on Meier for Leitner. He should get in behind Long and make clever runs, he has scored a lot in the Bundesliga this season by making late runs into the box behind the striker.
If losing bring on Adebayor for Garcia. Move to a straight up 4-4-2, look to keep hold of the ball and get the two strikers to drag their centre backs out of position leaving room for the widemen.

Jagielka-Dawson-Ferdinand
Piszscek--------------------Alba
Iturraspe-Bender
Belhanda-----Aspas
Benteke
Alright, another battling draw last week, time to open it up a bit more and get that elusive first win. Up the tempo, put them on the back foot and keep them there. Utilise our wingbacks today, get at the opposing FBs and get service in. Target the LB
Dawson: Get physical with Bony if he's the lone striker, mess him up, stop him getting a sight of goal, cover in behind so be aggressive.
Jagielka/Ferdinand: Both on the cover, be alert if the FBs are high up the pitch. If a second striker plays, occupy him if he drifts to your side.
Alba/Piszscek: Push up and provide the width to our attacks. Run at their FBs, especially Willems, target him. If wing backs play, try to get a run at their CBs. Cross to benteke or look for the cut back to Aspas/Belhanda. Drop back in quickly though.
Iturraspe: Cramp the space when they have it, stop the balls into Bony, make them play eye of the needle stuff. Again, help cover if the FBs are high. When we get it control the tempo, get us moving. Feed the wingbacks or bring it out from deep if you can.
Bender: Drop deep, occupy an AM if one plays, or watch for runs from deep and help cover the wing otherwise.
Belhanda: Assuming a DM is tasked to man mark you, draw him all over the pitch and out of position, then use your movement to drop him and makes run in and around the area. Also help Piszscek overlap if he gets in position. Drop back into the midfield to cramp them for room, and try to pressure Nocerino.
Aspas: Make runs off Benteke, and draw their CBs all over and out of position. Keep on the move, don't get caught standing still. Look to feed off cut backs from the wing backs and be clinical.
Benteke: Dominate whoever marks you, hold him off and look to turn or bring others into the game. Get up for headers, you can win vs their CBs. Plenty of movement again, keep their defense on the move.
Penalty: Belhanda

VFL Bassender v FC Murder on Zidanes Floor
- VFL Bassender:
- ----------------------------------Begovic----------------------------------
-----------------Puyol------------Albiol---------Bassong-----------------
Debuchy--------------------------Xavi---------------------------Matheiu
---------------------Leitner-------------------Lallana---------------------
---------------------------------Podolski-----------------------------------
-----------------------------------Long------------------------------------
SUBSTITUTES
Jaaskalinien
Blind
Buttner
Fletcher
Joaquin
Meier
Adebayor
TACTICS
We are going to play five at the back this week, with Matheiu and Debuchy getting forward as wingers when we have the ball and Podolski in a free role. We need to make sure things are congested in the middle so the only way for them to go is wide.
DEFENSE
Balotelli will play upfront and he is very hit and miss. We will try to wind him up at every opportunity and get in his face to stop him having time on the ball. Three bodies in the box against one, with all three looking to make sure there isn't enough space between them for room for the striker in a deep line, make it so the only way Balotelli can receive the ball is if he's running backwards, something he is unlikely to go and do.
Debuchy and Matheiu need to get back quickly and look to jockey their wingers out wide and not let them cut inside and shoot. Kroos is likely to play and if he does then Leitner or Lallana should man-mark him and stop him creating, take it in turns so neither of you get too tired. Generally looking for the tight back five, with Xavi just in front. Podolski and Long should stay high up the field. If they try to send the full backs forward, they are stuck in a 2v2 situation in defense with our players having a lot of pace on the counter attack. 9 men behind the ball though.
ATTACK
When we get the ball we need to attack them at pace. Xavi can pick out a pass from deep and should do that, look to orchestrate the play and always be an option. Stay deep if man-marked, draw their man out of position for Lallana and Leitner to exploit. The young legs in midfield should do plenty of running and creating, both in box to box roles today. Long should look to make runs across the back four trying to stretch the defense and playing on the shoulder of the last man, with Podolski just in behind trying to find space in a free role.
As soon as we get the ball we need to be fast to attack them on the counter. Two men will already be upfront and the full backs and centre midfielders should be fast to support. That is the main focus of our game. We need to be disciplined and wait for the moment to attack, but when it comes, take it with a quick overload.
SET PIECES
Left Corner - Lallana
Right Corner - Debuchy
Free Kicks - Podolski/Lallana
Penalties - Podolski - He's German so won't miss.
SUBSTITUTIONS
If winning bring on Blind and Buttner for Lallana and Podolski. Debuchy and Matheiu should move forward to midfield in a 5-4-1 flat formation and Long should make plenty of runs and try to get on the end of long balls, run your heart out.
If drawing bring on Joaquin and Meier for Leitner and Bassong, move to a 4-2-3-1 with Podolski and Joaquin on the wings, Meier behind Long in the centre. Attack a bit more but be disciplined in defense as stated before. Try to push on for the win.
If losing bring on Adebayor and Meier for Bassong and Leitner. Play a narrow 4-4-2 with Meier and Podolski attacking midfielders behind two strikers but staying relatively central, similar to Man City where Silva and Nasri play as 'wingers'

Starting: Abbiati, Astori, Ogbonna, Balotelli
Subs: Mannone, Fornasier, Marrone, Giovinco, Miccoli
Team Talk:
Abbiati: Instruct your defense on the field of play, keep them organised. Stay big for one on ones. Claim the ball around your 6 yard box.
Rafael & Kolarov: Keep you focus on your defensive duties. Block crosses, try keep the opposition wide & dont let them inside of you. Attack both can push up to the half way line but only one getting all the way up the pitch at a time. Kolarov to whip crosses in from deep, Rafael cross from the touchline.
Astori & Ogbonna: Man mark the strikers. If one then Astori mark & Ogbonna cover. Be physical, challenge for all balls in the air.
Mbia: Play the holding role. Patrol the width in front of the defense. Get the tackle in. Distribution to Lamps, Kroos or the wide front men. If a quick break is on get move the ball forward quick.
Lampard & Kroos: Box to box role. Be the drive in midfield. Take the ball from the back to attack. Shoot from distance is in range. Try over the top balls to Balo, through balls to Jakub & Pedro.
Blaszczykowski & Pedro: If the opponent fullback pushed up track him, hopefully you being high up the field hold them off from attacking so much. Mix your play up, go inside & out. Get crosses in aimed for Balotelli. When inside shoot if there is a shot on or look square for a free man or just try a through ball/over the top ball.
Blaszczykowski: If wide Rafael may offer the overlap so you can then move inside with passing options both ways. If Lamps/Kroos are free find lay them off for a shot from distance.
Pedro: With Kolarov crossing from deep id encourage you to wait for his support, give him the ball then make your run inside towards Balotelli so if he wins the header you may get in on goal. Dribble at the fullback, use your speed to beat him.
Balotelli: Play off the last defender. Make runs in behind, the guys will try play the ball over the top for you. Use your strength to bully defenders. Shoot from around & inside the box. Try play some quick one-two's with the wide men or Lamps & Kroos. Pedro will come insdie to play off you, try find him. If you cant go forward look back for any pass available, then head up and goal & take on all the opposition defense in the hope of breaking though for a chance on goal, if you score do the "Strong Man" celebration & I promise to play you next week.

Atalanta Falcons v Moleicester City
- Atalanta Falcons:
- vs Moleicester Citeh
-----------------Romero
Abate---Evans---Vidic---Dante---Filipe
----------Bradley-------Verratti
----------------Hernanes
----------Martinez----El Sharaawy
Subs: Leali, Camporese, Di Silvestri, Cassano, Bradley
Injuries: Reus, Mertens
Team talk: We're going to look to absorb pressure today with a strong backline and a formation set out to stifle. I want high pressure on them when they are on the ball and I want us to win it back quickly. When we win it back I want to see a transition to attack, with high octane counters to exploit them being out of position and to take advantage of the clinical precision in our side.
Romero - Communicate with the defence and if you're coming for the ball make solid contact to knock it away. Mix up the distribution, but shorter where possible.
Abate/Filipe - Hold the shape when we're being attacked and pressure the winger when they are getting into dangerous areas. Look to nick the ball away and drive forward on the counter attack with a one two into midfield or a direct sprint up the line. If we lose it, funnel back and repeat.
Evans/Dante/Vidic - Solid three at the back in the centre. Be obdurate and difficult to play through, communicate with each other and take responsibility for your zones at the back. If the FBs get caught up field look to cover the wingers until they return. Move the ball on at pace when we win it back.
Bradley/Verratti - Both to sit in front of the back three when we are being attacked and be difficult to play through. Look to nick the ball back by pressuring their CMs/AMs when they have it and Bradley can use his energy to drive us upfield, or Verratti can use his range of passing to do the same. Verratti will sit deeper today and let Bradley and the ball do his work.
Hernanes - SIt ahead of the midfield pair and pressure the ball higher up the pitch to try and win it back and not allow them easy possession. The transition is important today, so when the ball is back with us, push up the field and give an outlet in the centre between midfield and defence. Make quick decisions and be incisive to create chances.
Martinez/El Sharaawy - Both of you have a responsibility to press their CBs and DMs when they are on the ball and don't allow them easy possession or rest. When we have the ball I want you to be moving to space and reading the gaps in the defence to find positions to create chances. El Shar will be slightly deeper than Martinez to link the play and will look to run at defenders and slip it to clinical Martinez.
Subs if winning on 75mins
Biglia for Hernanes - Biglia to sit in and further stifle them.
Subs if losing 70mins
Cassano for Dante, and go 4-3-3 with Cass/Martinez/El Sharaawy up top

Srna----------------------------------Balzaretti
----------Jones--------Capoue
-----------------Cazorla
-----------Drogba ------Szalai
Subs: Weidenfeller/Byram/Muniain/Scholes/Valbuena/Grenier/Milito
Team Talk: We're up against a very strong falcons side today luckily there missing Reus unluckily we're missing our front 2 so today will be aerial bombardment 2.0
Forster: All i want is for you to come collect crosses and release out wide to the Wing backs today, Make yourself imposing on Martinez the midget at crosses or one on ones
Yanga Mbiwa: You will be playing sweeper due to their pace so anything that gets behind Subo/Amorebieta then you cover them.
Subotic: I want you to stick in line with Amorebieta watch for the on running Hernanes as he's crucial to their creativity, If he doesn't come forwards then help Srna with their winger/full backs getting up the pitch
Amorebieta: I want you to mark Martinez sit closely on him he's a poacher so watch for his runs, Yanga Mbiwa will cover if gets in, Try to force Martinez into his midfield area away from goal
Srna: Your a key part of this team today especially you delivery from crosses, I want you up that pitch whipping ball after ball into the box, Jones will cover RB duties when your up the pitch, when defending force him down the line and make him cross it in the box, if he comes inside Jones will double team him.
Balzaretti: Same for you today get forward and whip the crosses in we've got two giants up front so that's the way forward, Capoue will drift between DM/LB to cover for you, When defending make them come inside towards Capoue who will clear up.
Jones: Your going to play as DM with Capoue today, All i want from you is to marshall infront of the defence for any on running midfielders make sure that they can't play into Martinez, When Srna goes forwards go cover his RB position to stop the counter, On occasions hit the long ball to Drogba/Szalai
Capoue: I want you to chase Hernanes round this pitch where he goes you go until he's back into his half then drop back in, If he gets forwards track him put him under pressure force him away from goal, Don't be afraid to launch it up top when in possesions
Cazorla: I want you to drift about you can go left wing, right wing through the middle all you want just make sure that when you have the ball out wide you whip it in, If in the middle look to link up with the forwards and run on past them, when defending sit on their outlet,
Drogba: All i want from you is to be a bully sit on Evans back into him make him nervous against your presence, we're gunna link up the front 3, so you bring the ball down on the chest and lay off to Szalai/Cazorla, When in the box make runs across the front of Vidic to confuse them
Szalai: Your 6ft 4 so all i want in flicks on into the path of Drogba/Cazorla, Vidic will always challenge aerially sometimes sucker him in and go under the ball to leave it to go in behind to Drogba then turn him and use your pace to get behind Vidic. On occasions i want you to sit on their LB who isn't that tall as so should be winning the header all the time
Subs: Milito for Szalai 65 mins : Make runs off Vidic if long ball not working (losing)
If winning then Grenier/Scholes for Cazorla/Szalai go 5-4-1 make a more solid 4 to crowd the midfield

Joaquin
Parker
TACTICS
This game is a must win for us if we are serious about getting anything this season. They are missing Benteke so will either play Niang or a pseudo-striker in Walcott or Schurrle. We will play a deepish line and we should generally play a possession game.
DEFENSE
Albiol and Madlung need to be solid and have a deep line to make sure they cannot kill us with their pace. Both are strong and should win headers and make sure there is no space for their forward to work. Just in front for protection will be Xavi and Sahin who should stop all of the support. Leitner is in a box to box role today and should be full of energy, run and help out defensively putting pressure on their central midfielders. Matheiu and Debuchy must always stay wide as their full backs are likely to bombard forward. If Walcott and Schurrle are also wide, then let them have their fun there as we dominate the centre of the park.
The front three should stay high up the pitch which will make them keep their full backs in more defensive positions. If their full backs push up anyway then we have a 3v3 situation which suits us as our players have a lot of pace and should quickly counter attack.
ATTACK
As mentioned, counter attack quickly if the opportunity arises. But generally we should look to dominate possession. Xavi and Sahin are both great passers of the ball and should maintain it but look for the killer ball. Yilmaz needs to be strong and industrious upfront. He is great in front of goal and should be giving plenty of movement, make the defenders think. Sanchez and Podolski have the freedom to come right in and make plenty of runs beyond Yilmaz, or get wide and make the most of the space the full backs leave behind to pull the centre backs out. Leitner should make late runs into the box and have a shot if possible.
SET PIECES
Left Corner - Xavi
Right Corner - Debuchy
Free Kicks - Xavi/Alexis Sanchez
Penalties - Xavi
SUBSTITUTIONS
If winning bring on Joaquin for Sanchez. Move to a more defensive 4-5-1 with Podolski moving to LM.
If drawing bring on Meier for Leitner, who should play higher up in a support striker role.
If losing bring on Joaquin for Sahin, move to a 4-4-2 but plenty of attacking intent from the midfield.
- Spanish Bank:
- Cesar
Piszczek-Vertonghen-Ferdinand-Alba
Strootman-Herrera-Iturraspe
Niang----------------------Schurrle
Walcott
Team Talk:
We play a team with a negative points tally, so lets keep up our momentum and keep them there. Had a break since our last game, so energy levels should be high, and I want us to take advantage of that and see a high work rate all over the pitch.
I want you to come out and take the game by the throat, take control early and not give them a sniff. Harass them from the front.
Piszczek/Alba: Assume they'll play a front 3 with 2 as advanced wingers, if so don't allow them to cut inside, keep them out wide and stand them up. Get forward 1 at a time if they don't want to track back and overlap the forwards. If they don't play wingers, push forward and assist the attack.
Vertonghen: Take the main striker, get physical with him. Bring the ball out from defense if you can.
Rio: Cover the rest of the defense, use your instincts to cut out danger before it arrives. If a 2nd striker plays, take him.
Strootman/Iturraspe: Sit in front of the back 4 and help fill the space. Cover the space left if the FBs get forward, otherwise make them play eye of the needle stuff. Get hold of the ball and bring it out from deep, feed our attacking players. Strootman make late runs into the box if possible. Look for balls over the top if possible
Herrera: Get into Xavi's face, make him play it sideways or backwards, just don't let him get his head up and play passes forward. Drive into the space behind the front 3 and look to be a creative force in and around the penalty area.
Walcott/Schurrle/Niang: Constantly rotate positions to prevent the defenders picking you up individually, look to make runs behind the defense. If you end up out wide, look to take on the FB, and utilise our FB getting forward to cut inside and utilise the overlap.
Sub: 80 minutes, if winning: Puyol for Niang, revert to 5-3-2 and Puyol slot in at CB to solidify the defense

Subs: Leali, Bradley, Koscielny, Mertens, Rat, Di Silvestri
Injuries: Biglia, Martinez
Team talk: We need to pick up some wins at the business end of the season and we can field our strongest side today to help us.
We want to control the game and get on the football. When we get it we want to be forward thinking but not reckless, keeping our shape and probing their backline for a good opening. Once we work an opening we want to attack it with our balls.
Romero - Communicate with the defence and if you're coming for the ball make solid contact to knock it away. Mix up the distribution.
Abate/Filipe - I want you to support attacks going forward but don't get caught out up the pitch; don't go into the final third. Hopefully you can drag your wingers with you so their counters are nullified. Stand your man up, show him outside and isolate him. Crosses into the box can be dealt with by the CBs.
Evans/Dante - Experienced pair, and you can work together. I expect their striker to have plenty of movement so don't get sucked out of position, stay rigid at the back and deal with balls into the box while coming out quickly to block shots from distance.
Lucas - Stay deep today and patrol the space ahead of the centre backs. Look for the danger and for midfielders making breaks; communicate with your defence to make sure everyone is covered. Simple passes today.
Verratti - You're the conductor of our attacks, and I want you demanding the ball in the middle and setting us on our way. Probe their defence from deeper and look for the spaces ahead. Be smart with the distribution but take a risk if there is a high reward. Defensively hold position in the centre and don't commit.
Dembele - I want you to sit in the midfield and control the game with Verratti. More forward thinking from you however, and I want to see you closer to their box looking to knock the ball through or take a shot. Be patient and wait for the opportunities.
Reus/El Shaarawy - Out on the wings today, but you have the ability to go inside and out. Go to where the space is, and if they are showing you outside, take them on and whip it in for Martinez. When you are coming inside look to link with each other and Tevez and combine to create chances. If the space opens up, hit a shot.
Tevez - Play your natural game, be moving and link play with the men around you. When you are in the 18 yard box, twist, turn and finish.
Subs if winning on 75mins
Bradley for Verratti - defensive energy in the centre
Subs if losing 75mins

FC Murder on Zidane's Floor vs Moleicester City
- Zidane's Floor:
- FC Murder on Zidanes Floor v Moleicester City
Injuries: Dede & Miccoli
Line Up:
Abbiati
Rafael----Bassong----Ogbonna----Kolarov
Jakub B----Khedira----Kroos----Pedro
Chicharito----Balotelli
Subs: Gollini, Jenkinson, Fornasier, Cork, Marrone, Pablo, Giovinco
Team Talk: As Moleicester City have no consistency with their week in week out formation, mainly use 4231 & 5212. Im reverting ours to the basic 442. With Weidenfeller injured its vital we work Fraser Forster as I don't believe he will handle the pressure from our attack. Our free flow attack should provide us with plenty of opportunities to attack Forster's goal.
We will play a deep defensive line to counter any pace they have in attack & so there is no space in behind our defense for them to run into. Its vital to hold our shape as this will limit the space they have to play into.
They usually have Carzola or Michu playing a free role in the hole with instructions to drift from left to right. Drifting around the sidth of the pitch doesnt bother me, neither are great threats from wide positions. Carzola is dangerous when central feeding the forwards or looking to shoot himself while Michu is most dangerous playing as a CF making runs down the center & playing off the ST. Khedira has his instructions below.
Kroos & Balotelli: -With Scholes injured Arteta will most likely have the role of dictating play, when not in possession I want Kroos & Balo to do the following. If he sits deep I want Balotelli to close him down. If he enters our half Kroos will close him down. This is to ensure he is "rushed" all the time he is on the ball to force mistakes, steal the ball & generally stop him from getting any influence on the match thus hurting a key factor of Moleicester City's play.
Abbiati: Stay big for one on ones. Claim the ball around your 6 yard box. Use your experience to guide our defense on the field of play & keep them in shape & organised.
Bassong & Ogbonna: If Di Natale is a lone striker Ogbonna man mark him, stay tight, dont let him turn you but in case you have the pace & strength to bully him off the ball, Bassong cover for CF/AM late runs. If two strikers Bassong mark the other. Be physical, challenge for all balls in the air.
Rafael & Kolarov: If they play wingers from scouting they like to mix up play from going outside to cutting inside. Block their runs inside, force them wide as you can then block crosses, failing that im confident our CB's can deal with them. If they play with wing backs watch for their runs, stop them getting forward & stop them crossing. Attacking wise no runs into the final third today, cross from deep & ensure your able to get into & hold your position if/when we lose possession.
Khedira: Holding role. Need you to distribute the ball to the wide men & attacking players, Kroos will support. I want you to take control of that central area. If Carzola or Michu play in the hole marshal them wide where they are less effective. If Carzola when hes in possession close him down quick in order to stop him playing the ball forward or working room for a shot. If Michu watch & read his movement, try be two steps ahead so he cant make those signature late runs into the box. Anyone else just apply either or to counter their style.
Kroos: Box to box role with a slightly more attacking view when we are in possession. Assist Khedira in distribution of the ball, once you move it forward get yourself into an attacking position around the box. Watch Chicharito's movement for through balls & the lofted ball into the box.
Jakub B & Pedro: Work the flank. Help defensively. If fullback or wingbacks push up track them, also be ready to take advantage of the space left & counter attack.
Jakub B: Take your man on, stay wide & use your pace to beat your man, get crosses in for Chicharito & Balo.
Pedro: Attack your man, go outside to cross or inside to lnik up play or create a shooting chance. I want you to use your acceleration as your main weapon, meaning quick changes of pace to trick/beat your man.
Balotelli: Can come a deep to get the ball. Upon picking it up look to send it wide then make your run into the box. Can also take your man on, use your strength to bully their defensive players. Shoot from distance. As your coming deep to close Arteta make your runs from deep & look to play off Chicharito.
Chicharito: Stay central & on the last defenders shoulder. As your quicker than any of their defenders make some runs beyond their last man. In the box use your awareness to pick those pockets of space. Balotelli will be dropping deep but I trust him to get up alongside of you when we are attacking,

Subs:Srna/Balzaretti/Grenier/Ince/Milito/Drogba
Team Talk: After winning last week against a strong no respek side we're up against ZZZ's side who are weaker at the back but very strong up top
Forster: Expecting a lot of balls in behind with Javier Hernandez/Mario Balotelli being the main forwards so if balls come in behind come and clear it, if pick up then release to a full back
Amorebieta: I want you to watch for on coming attackers presumably , Make sure they can't get the ball into Hernandez/Balotelli, If they come down the Right wing then double up with Valbuena
Subotic: your be up against Hernandez , He likes run in behind and make sure he doesn't get a sniff at goal if he does then make the ground up and tackle, Make sure he doesn't turn you force him away from goal
Yanga Mbiwa: Your going to be spare defender clearing up what mess is made if Hernandez turns Subotic then you get back at him, If Pedro/Blaszczykowski get in behind use your positioning to clear up, If they come down the left wing double team with Muniain
Valbuena: It's all about defending and attacking as a unit today, you like to get forward so when we have the ball you will create the width for us,When defending sit in and make sure they can't get down the wing, Look to whip crosses in as we have the height of Michu running into the box
Muniain: Same as Valbuena we go forward as a unit so when we do your be the width on our left take on Kolarov with Pace as their winger won't want to track back,When defending don't let him get the cross in
Capoue: Sit in front of the defence today look to sit on Balotelli/Kroos or block the line into Hernandez, Make sure he doesn't have time to settle on the ball get, if Kroos drifts behind then follow him and Mbiwa will pick up the spare man
Jones: Your be key today as your be the source of our play with your range of passing, If have the ball look to get it into Cazorla/Michu or out to a winger, On occasions don't be afraid to hit it long to Michu. When Defending sit with Capoue block the space into Hernandez/Balotelli to limit his supply, Don't be afraid to get amongst the midfield put tackles in don't let Khedira dominate
Cazorla: Your playing as an right inside forward so stick in the gap between CB/LB and go across the lines to gain space, look to get Di Natale in on goal
Michu: Your the left inside forwards so stick between CB/RB on occasions drop onto a CB or run in behind to create space for Cazorla to influence the game more
Di Natale: The main reason your playing today is your movement their back 4 isn't quick so make runs in between the full backs and the centre backs weather it's off a Michu flick on or a Cazorla through ball just make sure you get goal side of him don't let him force you away from goal.
Subs: Ince/Jones for Valbuena/Arteta

--------------Romero

---------------Lucas
---------Dembele---Verratti

-------------Tevez
Subs: Leali, Bradley, Koscielny, Di Silvestri, Matinez
Injuries: Rat, Mertens
Team talk: We need to pick up some wins at the business end of the season and we can field our strongest side today to help us.
We want to control the game and get on the football. When we get it we want to be forward thinking but not reckless, keeping our shape and probing their backline for a good opening.
Romero - Communicate with the defence and if you're coming for the ball make solid contact to knock it away. Mix up the distribution.
Abate/Filipe - I want you to support attacks going forward but don't get caught out up the pitch; don't go into the final third. Hopefully you can drag your wingers with you so their counters are nullified. Stand your man up, show him outside and isolate him. Crosses into the box can be dealt with by the CBs.
Evans/Dante - Experienced pair, and you can work together. I expect their striker to have plenty of movement so don't get sucked out of position, stay rigid at the back and deal with balls into the box while coming out quickly to block shots from distance.
Lucas - Stay deep today and patrol the space ahead of the centre backs. Look for the danger and for midfielders making breaks; communicate with your defence to make sure everyone is covered. Simple passes today.
Verratti - You're the conductor of our attacks, and I want you demanding the ball in the middle and setting us on our way. Probe their defence from deeper and look for the spaces ahead. Be smart with the distribution but take a risk if there is a high reward. Defensively hold position in the centre and don't commit.
Dembele - I want you to sit in the midfield and control the game with Verratti. More forward thinking from you however, and I want to see you closer to their box looking to knock the ball through or take a shot. Be patient and wait for the opportunities.
Reus/El Shaarawy - Out on the wings today, but you have the ability to go inside and out. Go to where the space is, and if they are showing you outside, take them on and whip it in for Martinez. When you are coming inside look to link with each other and Tevez and combine to create chances. If the space opens up, hit a shot.
Tevez - Play your natural game, be moving and link play with the men around you. When you are in the 18 yard box, twist, turn and finish.
Subs if winning on 75mins
Bradley for Verratti - defensive energy in the centre
Subs if losing 75mins
Martinez for Lucas - 4-4-2 (but more 4-2-4) and just kitchen sink it.
- Bank:
- Cesar
Dawson-Rio-Vertonghen
Pizzi-Strootman-Iturraspe-Alba
Walcott-Schurrle
Benteke
Team talk: We play the strongest team in this league, we're going to be solid at the back, and we're going to have to out compete them to win this. Get into their faces, win it back early, and get it into Benteke or behind their defense early before they can react. If they play a high line, look for Walcott or Schurrle in behind, and if they play deep get it into to Benteke to feed others.
Rio: Use your experience and instincts to cut out moves when they come into your area. Cover the two other CBs and keep them marshalled.
Dawson/Vertonghen: Cover the main striker when he comes to your side, otherwise watch for players in behind the main striker running from deep.
Pizzi/Alba: Get up and down the flanks, primarily in defense but aim to push up when possible to join the attack. High work rate for you two today.
Strootman/Iturraspe: Sit deep and cramp them for space to operate behind the striker. When you get it, look to find Benteke early, or either Walcott or Schurrle running in behind before they can react.
Walcott/Schurrle: Look to try and get in behind their backline if they play a high line, otherwise look to try and get around Benteke when the ball comes in and get a run at a CB. Drift wide on occasion and use the overlapping winger to try and get a ball in for Benteke.
Benteke: Main man today, be tough up front, occupy the CB, dominate him, get knockdowns for Schurrle/Walcott. keep moving to make it hard for them to pick you up, and get a shot off if possible.

- Zidane's Floor:
- FC Murder on Zidanes Floor v FC ElphickForJustice
Injuries: Sebastian Giovinco, Michele Fornasier
Line Up:
Abbiati
Rafael----Dede----Ogbonna----Kolarov
Jakub B----Khedira----Kroos----Pedro
Chicharito----Balotelli
Subs: Gollini, Jenkinson, Bassong, Cork, Marrone, Pablo, Miccoli
Abbiati:
Dede & Ogbonna: Play a deep line to counter Aubameyang pace & so there is no space in behind.Mark the striker(s). Both of you have power & pace, use it to bully their strikers & push them wide, keep them distant from our goal. You should both dominate the areial battles.
Rafael & Kolarov: If they play with wingers your main objective is to restrict their play. When possible you can get forward, one to touchline one just past halfway line depending on where our attack is being built from. Cross from deep or touchline. If they play with wingbacks you can venture forward more often.
Khedira: Sit in front of the back four & protect them, its your job to marshal that area of the pitch, read the game, be vocal & break up play. Upon doing to distribute the ball around the pitch, use the width & always switch which side we build attacks from. Watch Chicharitos movement, every so often try a lofted ball over the top into the box for him.
Kroos: Assist Sami in defensive duties. Play box to box, be the driving force of FC Murder. Link up play. Always be on the move, pass & move, I want you to always be in space available to receive the ball. Can shoot from edge of the area. Try play our strikers & wingers in behind their markers.
Jakub B & Pedro: Fullback or wingbacks, use your pace to beat whichever. A lot of this time they will expect you both to cut inside, dont be so predictable, stay wide & we can make a big pitch. Get crosses in. If fullback is overlapping come inside. Work with the fullback so one of you can get to the touchline & cross, also look for cutbacks. If your up against wingbacks try beat them higher up the pitch then use your pace to attack the CB, as there will be three CB's with Balo & Chicha upfront we can stretch them. If in a shooting position go for it, just be aware of surroundings as a team mate could be in a better chance position.
Balotelli: Be aggressive to their CB's (not to the referee), challenge them for everything. Try draw them to you, this will allow space for others & mainly Chicha. Shoot in & around the box if a clear opportunity arises.
Chicharito: Play off the last shoulder, try stick yourself on their slowest defender, try draw fouls. Stay central, dont drift wide. From scouting there defensive line doesnt have instructions to play deep of high so if there is space in behind make runs into. In the box use your movement, shoot on sight & always follow anyones shots, look to be first to any loose balls.

Moleicester City v VFL Bassender
- Moleicester:
- Euro Div
-------------------Forster
Jones -----Yanga Mbiwa --Subotic -Balzaretti
----------Capoue ----Arteta
Muniain -------Michu ---------Cazorla
-----------Di Natale
Subs: Weidenfeller/Amorebieta/Ince/Valbuena/Townsend/Drogba/Milito
Bardi Stand tall, come for crosses that are close to you making them need to aim crosses further out. Distribute short as much as possible.
Jones/Balzaretti You are part of a unit, so keep your shape and defend together. Pick up any wide players , keep tight and force them to cross from wide and deep as much as possible. Jones, we expect you against Podolski, so you are selected for your engine to get up and down the pitch with him. Get forward whenever the opportunity arises, overlap the widemen and get crosses in. But never at the same time. One goes forward, the other stays back
Mbiwa/Subotic – We are expecting Yilmaz to play up top, so we can play a higher line against him. Subotic will pick him up using his height and strength to stop him getting a hold of the ball. If there is a second striker, Mbiwa will pick him up, or play as the spare man to sweep up any balls in behind, or to pick up the midfield runners.
Capoue – Breakdown their attacks before they get going. When a full back goes forward, cover them by slotting alongside the CBs. Pick up the opposition AM and don’t give them time on the ball.
Arteta – Deep lying playmaker. Get on the ball as much as possible. Take it from the defence and Capoue and pass it around. Don’t give up possession easily and start attacks by feeding the attacking players, looking to play it in behind their defence. When we don’t have possession, support Capoue is protecting the back four
Muniain/Cazorla – You will play as widemen. If they defend high, get in behind, if they go deeper, run at them exploiting the space. Move inside to create space when the full back overlaps. When the ball is on the other flank go central to support the attack. Defensively, pressurise the ball as soon as we lose it. If the opposition FB goes forward, help out your FB in picking him up.
Michu – Play in support of the striker. We are expecting two ball winning midfielders, so drag them around and create space for Di Natale and Mirallas coming inside. On the ball, look to play balls into the channels for Valbuena, Michu and Di Natale When in space on the edge of the box, have a go. Defensively, pressurise the ball as soon as we lose it
Di Natale –Provide the focal point for the AMs to play off of. Make runs in behind onto balls from the AMs. They will either play high, or drop deeper, either way, keep doing it! Defensively, pressurise the ball as soon as we lose it, Defence from the front today!

Meier
TACTICS
Difficult game today against Moleicester but we have made changes and we feel confident of following up getting our first point of the season with another positive result. Cazorla and Michu will be making runs from midfield and it is imperative we stop that. Keep things very tight in midfield and attack on the counter.
DEFENSE
They have some very skillful players in midfield but we will be tight in ours and look to congest things, stop them from playing their game. In defense Astori and Albiol are two proven defenders, they will play with one upfront and Astori today will have the man-marking duties with Albiol picking up the runners from midfield. Matheiu and Debuchy should watch their wingers, if they play any and force them inside into trouble. Do not let them run wide where the space is, make them cut infield where we have a lot of players congesting things. All four of our midfielders should be full of running, be quick to win the ball and play it up. Yilmaz and Sanchez should do nothing defensively and stay high up the pitch where we can murder them on the counter.
ATTACK
Counter attacking football is the order of the day. Sanchez and Yilmaz are great dribblers of the ball with great pace and should show that today. Run at their defenders and have a go. Subotic isn't very quick and we can catch him out, and also keep an eye out for space in the wider positions as they have full backs who will want to push up. The defenders should be quick to blast the ball forward and Begovic should also do the same when he gets the ball. Leitner and Xavi should also get forward to support with the full backs also getting up.
SET PIECES
Left Corner - Leitner
Right Corner - Sanchez
Free Kicks - Xavi
Penalties - Xavi
SUBSTITUTIONS
If winning don't change anything.
If drawing bring on Podolski for Bender. Move to a 4-3-3 and have a go.
If losing bring on Podolski and Meier for Bender and Leitner. Move to 4-2-1-3, very attacking line up.

Spanish Bank FC v Moleicester City
- Spanish Bank:
- Cesar
Puyol-Ferdinand-Vertonghen
Piszczek------------------------Alba
Gustavo-Strootman
P.Boateng-----Jovetic
Huntelaar
Tactics:
Playing a tough team tonight, they might choose to go 3 at the back, or load the midfield. If they go 3 at the back, KPB and Jovetic push wider and try and pull them out of position and occupy the space out wide. Also if they try to cramp the space in midfield. If no wingers play I expect the wing backs to push further up and give us width. Play at a high tempo and pull them apart. Get it into the feet of KPB and Jovetic, they're our best offensive weapons.
Puyol: Be slightly more tucked in, use your experience if you come up against pace
Rio: Marshall the defense, use your instincts to cut out passes forward before they reach their mark
Vertonghen: Slightly more aggressive with the pace to get back if necessary.
Piszczek: Slightly more reserved than Alba, pick your moment to get forward and help out Puyol if he gets a pacy winger that side.
Alba: Push forward, give width on the overlap with Jovetic, look for cut backs.
Luiz Gustavo: Midfield destroyer, cover the back, get physical if anyone comes into our area. Don't pick a particular player, just roam.
Strootman: Look to sit deeper when we don't have the ball to cramp room, but push forward in possession. Make runs from deep to avoid being picked up around the edge of the area. Spray the ball around.
KPB: When you get into feet look to beat the first man and pick a pass or shot based on that. Drift wider if the midfield gets clogged. If a player is getting onto the ball deeper, get into his face.
Jovetic: Get closer to Huntelaar if theres space behind the midfield, run at the CB if you get isolated. Otherwise again look wider and pull a CB out of position.
Huntelaar: Play on the last man and look to poach. Constantly on the move, make the CB's job of tracking you a nightmare, and if he switches off a moment, make your move.

--------Capoue -------Cabaye
Sturridge ------Cazorla ------Muniain
------------- Di Natale
Bench: Forster/Amorebieta/Jones/Arteta/Valbuena/Milito/Drogba
Team Talk: Will be a hard game today Bank are strong defensively the key to winning will be controlling the midfield space, If they come on the attack we're play on the counter
Weidenfeller: We're going to play a deep defensive line so if it's knocked in behind then come and collect it and make sure you get to crosses as Huntelaar may be in the box
Defense: Sit deep on the edge of the box to negate their pace in behind
Srna: I want you to stay in line with the defense today and force the winger inside towards Capoue, Alba will go on the outside so when he overlaps follow him and Capoue will pick up the winger. Only go forward when we have the ball and overlap Sturridge
Jagielka: I want you to pick up Huntelaar he thrives on movement and space in the box so stick close to him and block shots at goal. Try and force him away from the goal to keep him quiet is the key today
Yanga Mbiwa: Your be playing as the spare CB today, Your be there to cover if Huntelaar gets in behind and put a tackle in, If Jovetic is playing then pick him up he likes to drop deep but don't follow him into midfield
Balzaretti: Keep in line with the back 4 and force the winger down the line so Piszczek can't overlap, Make sure the cross doesn't make it to the box, If Piszczek manages to overlap then follow him and Cabaye or Mbiwa will come over
Capoue: I want you to sit in front of the defense and make sure none of their midfield gets time on the ball especially Jovetic if he drops deep, When they come down the left wing go out and help Srna with their overlapping.
Cabaye: Your going to dictate the play when we have the ball look to spray it into Santi or outwide to a winger, If we're on the counter get it to a winger as soon as possible, If they come down right wing go over and help Balzaretti
Sturridge: I want you to take on Alba with your pace and tricks cut inside on your left foot as Srna will overlap you, I don't want you to follow Alba when he attacks sit on the half way line and wait for the counter when get the ball run at the defender and take him on
Cazorla: Sit in the gap today i want you to sit on their DM when we don't have the ball to stop them starting attacks, When we're attacking look for balls in behind the defense balls in between their full back/cb will create space for the forward. When on the counter look to play it out wide to Sturridge/Muniain, Don't be afraid to shoot at goal from distance or get in the box yourself
Muniain: Today we're playing on the counter so when Piszczek comes forward also sit at the half way line so can run in behind and take on the defense, Look to cut inside and link up with the other front 3 look for balls over the top of the defense
Di Natale: Sit on the last man and sprint in behind their defense and finish clinically , If they play a deep line then drift about linking up with the attacking 3 behind, don't be afraid to drop a little deeper and look to get a winger in on goal
Subs: Drogba/Valbuena on for Muniain/Di Natale - Move Sturridge up top with Drogba and go 4-4-2 if losing after 80 mins

Re: Tactics
Atalanta Falcons v FC Murder on Zidanes Floor
- Atalanta Falcons:
- Romero
Abate - Evans - Dante - Filipe
Leiva
Dembele - Verratti
Reus ----------- El Sharaawy
Tevez
We want to use some width today and test the defensive mettle of their full backs. We have a midfield to win the ball back and then make the right passes so we'll be patient when we get it.
Romero - Communicate with the defence and if you're coming for the ball make solid contact to knock it away. Mix up the distribution, but shorter where possible.
Abate/Filipe - Both noted as attacking threats at full back, so I want you to provide width when we go forward and look to get the ball in when you have space. Hopefully it pins their wingers back, but when they are attacking stand them up and force a pass back inside.
Evans/Dante - Simple job of protecting your side today, each of you take a side and take responsibility for it. Don't get dragged out, be rigid and send anything that comes in high back out. Don't commit to tackles, stand up, jockey and force a backwards or sideways move. Dante to bring the ball out of defence and look for a pass into midfield where he can.
Leiva - Just sit and break up play in the middle. Try and win the ball back for us and use the passers up ahead of you.
Dembele/Verratti - With the full backs pushing on your dual role will firstly contain covering their gaps if a break is on. In possession be smart with the ball and try and find the wingers if you can. Dembele will be more advanced and freer to drive on with the ball, Verratti will be deeper to pull the strings and always be open.
Hernanes - Push up behind the forwards when we are attacking and look to get your foot on the ball and open up the field for them with through balls. When we lose it, funnel back to halfway and be ready to nick it away or receive it to launch a counter attack.
Reus/El Sharaawy - Provide our main threat today with width and look to attack the full backs. Come inside and out but be direct and incisive when we're in the final third.
Tevez - Stay central but gravitate to where the ball is and where the pockets of space are. Shoot if there is space, and link with your wide men.

Balotelli----Chicharito
Team Talk: hard match, just go out there, defend as a team, attack as a team enjoy yourselves as a team & let your football do the talking.....Oh & Super Marios twitter account!
Abbiati: Be strong, command your area. Read them game & instruct our defensive line.
Jenkinson & Kolarov: Block any crosses, keep opposition player wide, dont left them cut in. There wingers are good, tricky players, best to keep them wide & restrict them to crossing as Tevez isnt great in the air.
Jenkinson: Dont attack today. Focus on defending.
Kolarov: Can push up a little bit just past half way line, do not make any runs to the touchline. Cross from deep.
Dedé & Ogbonna: Expecting Tevez upfront, one of you mark the other cover & watch for late runs from any other attacking players. Give Tevez a tough time, hes a wriggly character so use your pace & power to bully him, knock him off the ball, go in hard on him. Early in the match give him a hard knock to the ankle away from the ref or a yellow card challange tops & continue to pester it throughout the match, make it bad enough to hurt him but not bad enough to get a red card.
Marrone: Big job for you today, need you to fill in for Sami. Protect the defense. If the balls out wide with one of their wingers help our fullback by doubling up & blocking the corridor inside so they cant cut in. Do not push forward today, just marshall the width of the pitch. Distribute to the wide men.
Kroos: Box to box role. Help Marrone with defensive duties, really support him earl on in the match so he can settle well. Make late runs into & around the box. Shoot from distance. Try feed the wingers in behind. Attempt through balls to the forwards, on the deck or over the top.
Jakub B & Pedro: Help defend & give our fullbacks some extra protection. Attack you marker, keep him on the back foot guessing you every direction so go inside or out. Shoot from edge of the box. When inside look to feed strikers or play 1-2's with them to make space for a shot. Any crosses try find either striker.
Balotelli: Give you a free role to do as you see fit, come deep & collect ball, shoot when you want, bully defenders, just do whatever as long as you are a pain in the oppositions backside.
Chicharito: Stay central. Make forward runs. Shoot on sight. Use your movement to get on the end of crosses, be alert to any loose balls/spils from the keeper.

Pens: Balotelli
Corners: Jakub B
Close Range Free Kicks: Jakub B or Pedro

Carroll
TACTICS
Must win game at home today. Still stuck on a negative points tally and we have sorted the side from what we started with, only two players remain. Xavi and Mascherano need to make sure they dominate the game to give us the possession we need.
DEFENSE
Tasci is our leader at the back and should be the main marker of Bony. Dominate him physically, don't let him have time on the ball. He is unproven at the top level and should not get many chances. Astori should watch for runners from midfield, Aubemeyang or Wijulndum are likely to be supporting so watch those runs, track them. Asamoah is a player with a lot of strength and could cause problems, but Matheiu is also a physically strong player and should force him out wide, shove him off the ball and be up for a physical battle today. Debuchy should be similar with Sidney Sam who is only a small player and should be forcibly removed from possession. Xavi and Mascherano need to work hard to get back possession as they are so good at doing. Pressurise their midfielders, don't let them have time on the ball and look to hold onto possession when we have it. Farfan and Holtby should assist, especially with Lichtsteiner who can cause problems but Holtby is a hardworking player who should track his runs.
ATTACK
Farfan should play as an out and out winger today, get wide and get crosses into the box. Sanchez and Yilmaz are both clever players who should make plenty of runs to confuse their centre backs, both of which are young and inexperienced. Yilmaz needs to be the poacher taking away his chances while Sanchez should show some flair, use some tricks and take on a man. Holtby is encouraged as a 'drifting LM' to move infield and play passes forward as well as Xavi. Both are excellent passers and should be keeping hold of the ball, as well as finding the killer pass to set us free. Matheiu and Debuchy should bomb forward like a Barcelona full back, but one at a time with Mascherano able to react if we lose possession. Get crosses in to the box.
SET PIECES
Left Corner - Xavi
Right Corner - Farfan
Free Kicks - Xavi
Penalties - Xavi
SUBSTITUTIONS
If winning bring on Gnabry for Sanchez. Move Holtby to CM and close out the game.
If drawing bring on Carroll for Holtby. Get long balls up to him with Sanchez, Farfan and Yilmaz getting to the second balls.
If losing bring on Carroll for Astori. Mascherano to CB, Xavi and Holtby CM in a 4-4-2. Loads of balls into the box from range. Both Xavi and Holtby can do that accurately.

Re: Tactics
FC Murder on Zidanes Floor v Spanish Bank
- FC Murder:
- UC Supremazia [4-4-2]
------------------ Abbiati
-- Jenkinson – Dede – Ogbonna – Rafael
-- Blaszczykowski -- Kroos – Khedira -- Pedro
------------ Balotelli – Chicharito
Team talk:
It’s the first game of the season under my management so until we’ve had longer time to prepare I want you to keep things simple tonight. We’ll have good balance going forward and defence in a 4-4-2 formation. Utilise our width and creativity in the middle of the park. Watch for the runs of Chicharito and get some decent passes for him to attack. Take your chances and Good luck.
Attack Tactics:
* Chicharito sit on the shoulder of their defenders and look to break away. Find space in their defence and exploit it.
* Balotelli look to receive the ball from deep. Try and draw their defenders out of position for Chicharito to use
* Kroos you’re our creative spark in our midfield, look to get precise passes to our front men
* Khedira it’s a box-to-box role for you tonight. Support Kroos and don’t let him be singled out.
* Blaszczykowski & Pedro a lot of energy is required from you to support both defence and attack tonight. You’ve got it in you so run at their fullbacks and get some decent crosses in for our strikers to attack.
Defending Tactics:
* If they’re controlling possession the I want two tight banks of four. Don’t be dragged out of position.
* Jenkinson & Rafael put your defensive duties first but alternate when going forward. Force their wingers out wide and single them out.
* CB’s communicate with the rest of the team to keep them organised
* Kroos and Khedira sit in-front of the centre backs and stop their attacks from playing there
Subs:
After 60 minutes:
P.Hernandez on for Blaszczykowski (straight swap)
If winning after 70 minutes:
Chicharito off for Cork (Cork to go DM in a 4-5-1 formation)
- Spanish Bank:
- Cesar
Piszczek-Ferdinand-Dawson-Nagatomo
Suarez
P.Boateng-Ramires
Navas---------------Jovetic
Huntelaar
Team Talk:
Do or die today, expect to see high energy levels and tempo from the off. Best way to limit their attacking force is to starve them of service, and as such we're sticking an extra man in the midfield to win that area and cut off that supply for them, and to use that as a base to start attacks from. Their fullbacks, especially with Kolarov out are the weak spot today, so we're going to attack that area primarily and look to either get service into Huntelaar or find runners from deep to cut back to.
Sitting deeper to avoid runs in behind from Chicarito, so I expect Suarez/Ramires to help disrupt Balotelli and deny him space if he drops deeper. We need to work as a team defensively, so communicate well and keep yourselves organised.
CB: Work as a team today, communicate and be organised. Don't pick up specific threats so you can't be dragged around by their movement. If Balotelli drops deeper, mark Chicarito out the game and use Suarez/Ramires to deny Balotelli.
FB: Only 1 goes forward at a time to assist with the attack. Otherwise be aware for runs into the channel. Keep the wingers outside of you, don't give them cuts inside, and make yourself big to block crosses. Work as a unit with the CBs to keep yourselves organised
Suarez: If Balotelli drops deep off the front pick him up, deny him space to get turned and face goal. Stay disciplined, he won't, you can wind him up. Otherwise help us win the midfield and the ball.
CM: Ramires go box to box, if Kroos tries to get into an advanced position, go with him and disrupt him. If the opportunity presents itself, look to drive into the oppositions half. KPB bit more offensively minded, look to push forward more. If Khedira looks to track you then occupy him and look for the simple ball to the wingl, if he'd rather protect the fullbacks, take advantage and drive at the CBs and take them on. High work rate from both of you today, as part of a trio with Suarez I expect you to win the midfield area so we can build a base.
Wingers: I expect both of you to attack the FB, both are beatable. Jovetic look to drive infield off the wing if you can, while Navas look to get the ball into the mixer. If midfielders try to doube up on you, look to find runners in the middle to cut back to. If the wingers track back, there should be an overlapping FB to utilise. If their FBs get forward, let them go and attack the space when we get it back.
Huntelaar: If both CBs track you, use your movement to pull them all over, and make space for others to attack. If one tracks you, keep on the move, drop him if you can get a shot off. Look to get on the end of Navas' crosses, you can beat both aerially.
Sub: If winning at 70 minutes: KPB for Iturraspe: Sit deeper and held us hold the ball and midfield.
