When the team will be set up under 18 years and under 21
Football

Im guessing you are asking about NT U18 and U21, right?

It will not happen soon, hockey is 3 seasons ahead and we still do not have it there.

I believe it will be first implemented for hockey.

In football the best season 1 15yos are stil only 20, so a u21 team is a little pointless

what skills, both individually or team, or required to defend a corner or free kick?

I have to go back to this question - it's for me very important.

Looks like there is a must positions in line-up:

1 GK
------
1 LD
1 CD
1 RD
------
1 LM
1 CM
1 RM
------
1 CF

That's 8 must have positions - and if you don't have player on one of them - you will be under heavy penalties.
---------------------------------------------------

Because this is patching - I think this could happen:

Team that gets 2 red cards - 1CM and 1CF in this engine would be stronger then team with 1 red card on LM for example.

-------------------------------------------------------

I think that patching is not a sollution - there must be improvements in base of game engine. Big job which requires time, will and knowledge - we will see.

The GK, 3 Def and 3 Mid positions are all obvious, as no person with half a mind would play a game without them.

The CF position not so much, as I "have" played with just 2 wide forwards and done ok, but... personally i think the CF position is more powerful than out wide.

Your theory is interesting, but nothing more than a theory. I doubt it's accurate.

Are you happy with the double wings arrangement? Some days I find myself thinking about using it, but I still had no courage to test.

I no longer use it very much as find the center forwards always score more goals. I do have 1 forward who can play out wide, but don't use him there much.

Maybe someone wants to copy a tiki-taka variation, where Daniel Alves plays offensive wing-back but without right midfielder/winger,
In terms of PPM, this would be disaster and we all know how this works in real life

Hum... Thanks for the info... I will keep up the good 433 job that seems to suit my team players the best. 1 wing anyway!

Do you find the lack of center midfield causes problems?

I tend to play 4-1-2-1-2 (or 4-4-2 for the more uneducated).LOL

I agree 100% with your conclusion

I may have a biased way to look at this issue, since my better player is a CM. In my opinion, the lack of a CM do causes problems.

My forward played in yesterdays friendly of the national team and got injured today. Apparently that means that I will not receive the NT trainingbonus, even though he did train and play with the NT.

This to me is a little strange because the training is supposed to show yesterdays training and the injury happened today. I'm probably not the first one to notice this, but I would still like to know why it's done like this.

didn't he train today ? cause as you said the training you see today is from yesterday's training ... not sure if training runs before injuries though
