As we approach Theme Week for season 5 of the Simulation Soccer League, I have a touch decision to make for my chosen squad. Shall I go with a theme or just go with who are the top players for each position. I think i will do a bit of a mix, as I am not the most seasoned of SSL users, nor do I know much about Football Manager or super high level tactics in general. So, let us see how we shall end up, as I will pick players I think are good, or whom I like for other reasons.
I will be boring and run a standard 4-4-2. All stats used will be based on Season 5...so small sample size will be king here.
Goalkeeper
Certified Problem - Sydney City
I like how they are the leader in Clean Sheets, with 3, and are also second in save percentage at 84.6%. Are these the best indicators of current or even future success at the position, who could even tell? But I like this.
Left Back
Gerald Gerrard - Hollywood
Looks like a great two-way player, is good in the air and can stick his nose in to make a tackle.
Center Back
Jonas Thessenvitz - Sao Paulo
Is this playing him out of position? Who knows. He is a strong defender, and is someone I want on the back line game in and game out.
Center Back
Eirlys Snooks - Adowa Accra
This is just a fun name, and I know they patrol the center of the backline for their squad with good TPE.
Right Back
Jay Bryzski - AS Paris
Here is a right back with 705 TPE. Neat.
Left Midfielder
Ioannis Papastathopoulos - Montreal United
They have a 7.76 average rating, which makes my young player cry, as he dreams he could be that consistent. They have a 22.6% cross rate which is good enough for me.
Central Defensive Mid
Sydney Ramirez
88.5% tackle percentage, ball-winning midfielder, runs all over the park.
Central Midfielder
Zinedine Gintonic - Athenai
A grizzled vet from back in season 1. They do a lot of things pretty well, headers, passing, interceptions. They play aggressive which I like.
Right Midfielder
Ketchup Noodle - Seoul
I am most likely playing them out of position, but they're a good player. They'll figure it out. Great name.
Center Forward
Owen Fourty-Four - Sydney City
Followed up an excellent season 4 with a great start to season 5, as they already have 6 goals on the year.
Center Forward
Franco Torres - Cairo City
Another reliable scorer. They have 5 goals on the year already and are placing plenty of shots on target with 24, so more are sure to come.
