HOW TO: Analyse A Squad - By Justified
One of the key aspects of coming to a new squad is trying to fit players into a system of play. You’re either a) a manager with a favoured formation and like to “fit squares into round holes” or you’re b) a manager who’s flexible and works with the players he has. Obviously the b example might in future stages wish to switch to his preferred formation because obviously we all have one.
Anyway with this guide I was hoping to show you how to analyse a squad. The first part will be about Liverpool, obviously for the managers who like to start big and the second part will be about Carlisle United for managers who like to start a bit lower.
Part One(第一部分)
So let’s get started. Usually when I play with big clubs I like big squads. With Liverpool your obviously going to need a bigger squad because they are going to have a lot of games in the first season (Premiership, Champions League, Carling Cup, FA Cup, World Club Championship and so on) so I’d aim for a 22 man squad with a few key players, some first team starters and the rest rotation players. Here is the 22 man squad which I find is Liverpool’s best to date, the rest are either put in the U18’s, go on loan (if they have a bright enough future) or sold (dead wood).
Squad
Now the thing with Liverpool is that they lack good wide players but they have a hell of a lot of good inner midfielders. In goal they do have two excellent goalkeepers in Dudek and Reina and I’m quite sure you’ll have a hard time figuring out who is the best but usually during the season Reina’s stats hit the roof.
The back four speaks for itself really. Riise, one of the best left backs in the game, Kromkamp the new solid right back and in the middle the power of Hyypia and Carragher. Now comes the tricky part, how to set up Liverpool’s midfield. As I said earlier, they have good central midfielders but lack wingers.
So what can we do? Well seeing as we world class midfielders in Alonso and Gerrard they should definitely be playing. But there’s also the workhorse Sissoko and the creativity of Zenden and Kewell. So I came up with the Christmas tree formation. Alonso, Sissoko and Gerrard all as MC’s, with Gerrard making bursting runs into the AMC spot and Kewell and Zenden as narrow wingers.
Alonso and Sissoko’s best roles are DMC’s really so with arrows back the formation turns into 4-2-1-2-1 in defence and a 4-2-3-1 in attack. Cisse obviously the best striker in the squad with a lot of goals in him gets to be fed by the massively creative midfield.
So now we’ve ended up with a sort of Christmas Tree formation.
Now that we have the formation we have to select individual instructions.
Jose Manuel Reina – Looking at Reina you can see that he has really good pace for a keeper and has really good rushing out stats as well. I would recommend setting him up with a higher mentality so he sweeps up behind the back four. I’m guessing a mentality around 13 maybe. Creative Freedom should be low for a keeper because obviously you wouldn’t want your goalkeeper showboating in his own box. Also what you can see is that his throwing attribute is quite high so I would recommend to have him on quick throw as distribution.
Jan Kromkamp – The thing with Kromkamp you notice straight away is that he has 20 in decision making. That means he’ll always make the right choice at all times which makes this job kind of easy. I would put him on mixed passing and crossing, run with ball (he has a 15 rating), through ball and forward runs all mixed. He has a crap long shot so I put rarely on long shots.
John Arne Riise – Riise is one of the best left backs around and most of his ratings is above the 15 mark. He has good dribbling, good crossing, good long shots, decent passing and good off the ball attributes. I think you have to think about in which way you want to utilise him as he is so good in all aspects. As a full back I would say let him run forward at all times because he has high enough pace and work rate to get back and defend and tell him to run to the byline and cross into the box. So, Forward Runs, Run with ball and Cross from the Byline all on and seeing as his passing and long shots is so good as well I’d recommend having them on mixed so if an opportunity does arise, he’ll try his best.
Jaime Carragher and Sami Hyypia – Instructions for defenders should be quite straight forward to be honest. The only difference between them would be if one of them had better passing then the other. Carra’s passing is decent enough to have mixed on but Sami should really not try anything stupid and should really have a shorter passing on. Everything else should be rarely and quite a low creative freedom.
Xabi Alonso and Mohammed Sissoko – Both of them will be acting as midfielders in attack and DMC’s in defence. Obviously Xabi is more technically gifted and should be the more attacking of the two so I would suggest having Sissoko on a defensive mentality and Alonso on a more normal/attacking so Sissoko concentrates only on mopping up behind the midfield and protecting the defence. Alonso is one of the best passers and creators in the game and should have mixed passing on as well as try through balls often so he can pick out runs from Kewell, Zenden and of course Cisse upfront.
Personally I wouldn’t want him running forward but he can have run with ball mixed and long shots mixed as that would permit him to run a few yards when he decides to and have a pop if there is an opportunity. As for Sissoko we’d want him to tackle hard, pass simply and short and due to him having a long shot rating of 15 I’d having him on long shots mixed.
Steven Gerrard – Pretty sure most people know what he’s about. Due to him being a bit of an all-rounder I’d suggest having him on a free role because if he does end up on the flank he can cross, if he ends up in the box he can finish etc etc. When you think of Gerrard you think of someone who takes the ball forward and charges forward and I would agree so I think forward runs often, run with ball mixed, long shots mixed, try through balls often and cross ball mixed is what he’s all about.
Harry Kewell – The Wizard of Oz as he is called. He’ll be the unpredictable player of the side and should be given a high creative freedom so he can do all he wants against the defence. Personally he hasn’t got the pace to get in behind the defence so I’m thinking mixed forward runs, run with ball often, cross from the byline and try through balls often would be best for Kewell. Good long range shooter as well so he gets long shots mixed as well.
Bolo Zenden – He is very similar to Kewell and I’ve decided to give him the same instructions but forward runs often as he has a bit more pace then Kewell. Run with ball often, cross from byline and long shots and try through balls mixed.
Djibril Cisse – One of the best players without the ball and also has a lot of pace. I decided to use him as a runner and decided to put him on fwrd runs often, dribbling mixed due to decent dribbling, crossing mixed incase he runs down the channel and he does actually have a good crossing rating, long shots mixed and try through balls rarely. |
