    You agreed with Dan's suggestion about the XI to field.

    ROPS are really dismal, but if on top of that you adopt the Eggen style
    of defending versus Da Bull, it won't get you very far.

    Puputti, Tsymbalar and Piirainen injured. :-(

    Looks like it will be Helen, but I want to look at things more
    carefully.

    Worst team in the league, surely, those Lapland
    butchers.

    Da Bull appears to be the only player in the league
    who consistently manages to get a shot off before
    he’s being stripped off the ball. Is his Ball Control
    skill really that much higher than the rest’s?

    His ball control skill is 2, just as much as Piirainen. I think the real difference is that other teams don't have the amazing Puputti, the
    specialist in catching up with an opponent with a 10m advantage and
    tackling him cleanly from behind. I wonder if Puputti's magic skill is
    his speed or his tackling ability.

    All out for just 1 match. Things are not too bad: Dan will offer a 3-4-3
    with McGinlay as DM and the capable Sorvisto as AM. Will would think
    that we should heal Tsymbalar, who must be doing some great off the ball movement that distracts opponents, since his on-the-ball actions are
    eminently forgettable. Still Puputti is Puputti.

    I'll say
    Helen: heal Puputti 70%
    Helen: heal Tsymbalar 30%

    But I may change my mind depending on the opponent. O great and noble gamemaster, who are we playing against next?

    Ouch. From the section "Useful info", sub-section "Season":
    """
    Schedule:
    http://rssclash.altervista.org/staff/0338/index.html
    """

    Yes, very easy to find...

    So, we are playing third-placed FinnPa at home. In the reverse fixture,
    we beat them 3-1 despite playing 3-5-2, thanks to some heroics by
    Mazzantini, Da Bull, and the much maligned Eggen, who got his act
    together after gifting the Finnair team the equalizer.

    Sorvisto played CAM, and provided the assist to the third goal.

    Yeah, I'll stick with my original call.
