GRADED: GRADED: Theme Week (S5) - Dream XI

[Tiktaalik]

<span style='color:orange'><b>Tactics<br></b></span><br>So the formation is 4-3-3 Gegenpress, because, let's be honest, it's totally OP. That means as well as the usual attributes for each position we're looking for players with good work rate, team work and decisions (thankfully everyone already has 20 stamina so that's a good start). <br><br>With that in mind, here is the <span style='color:orange'><b>Dream SSL XI:</b></span><br><br><span style='color:blue'><b>GK - Alexandra Gunnarson - CF Catalunya<br></b></span><br>This formation needs a sweeper keeper and while there's a lot of great keepers in the SSL, the skill set needed to sweep and pass is less common. Gunnarson however is a top notch keeper with the one on one, passing and rushing skills needed to let the defence push up high, secure in the knowledge there's a safe pair of hands and feet behind them.<br><br><span style='color:blue'><b>DL - George Costanza - Sydney City<br></b></span><br>Pace, defending, attacking... really the complete package at full back.<br><br><span style='color:blue'><b>DR - Linnea Nesse - Sydney City<br></b></span><br>See above. The Sydney full back duo are definitely a great pair and will bomb up and down the flanks all day long.<br><br><span style='color:blue'><b>DC - Mike Rup - Tokyo S.C.<br>DC - Henrik Lind - Athenai F.C.</b></span><br><br>These two players are both top centre-backs. Physically and technically sound and with enough on the ball skills to build from the back.<br><br><span style='color:blue'><b>DMC - Mikko Rashford - Hollywood F.C.<br></b></span><br>More pace than most wingers, very creative and ready to play the pressing game.<br><br><span style='color:blue'><b>MC - Helena Soderberg - Tokyo S.C.<br>MC - Zinedine Gintonic - Athenai F.C.</b></span><br><br>Decisions, teamwork, work rate, the physical attributes to press and great passing to play through the opponents with the ball. Absolutely rock solid midfield pairing.<br><br><span style='color:blue'><b>AML - Liang Kuai - Sydney City<br></b></span><br>Cuts in from the left wing with top notch finishing and dribbling skills, and a great set piece taker to boot.<br><br><span style='color:blue'><b>AMR - Tim Possible - Sydney City<br></b></span><br>So. Much. Pace. (and great technical chops too).<br><br><span style='color:blue'><b>FC - Owen Forty-Four - Sydney City<br></b></span><br>A physical beast and absolutely clinical in front of goal. 6 goals in 4 league matches this season and you can see why.<br><br><!--c1--><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1' id='CODE-WRAP'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->325 words.<!--c2--></td></tr></table><!--ec2-->
