Good post, Thommers. Interesting to see how you're doing.
It's one of the things that this game allows you to learn, is how best to get your team to play, as well as how best it can play against your opponents.
Often, it's easy to just hook up with a tactic and just leave it. But sometimes you need to understand why it works as well as why it doesn't.
For me, this is where I get attached to a game. It would be good for you to post your progress in the career section. You don't have to come up with a story or anything, just give us an update of your results.
All this has probably helped you watch a match differently too.
Thanks for sharing
