Barry Ferguson's Hat Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I still think we should looking to have all the players turn green on Ultimate team. EA developers know their stuff and it would be foolish to line up at odds with their wisdom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are lots of different types of central midfielders and the ones listed are all very different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the usual criticism of the so-called Christmas tree formation is you really need bloody good full backs/wing backs to make it work and a good lone striker who’s strong enough to hold up the ball, tall enough to get on the end of crosses and works bloody hard chasing lost causes. I think we’ve probably got all three of those positions covered. We’ll probably need one midfielder to hold back from attacking at all times and protect our defenders given their weaknesses but that’s fair enough. You’re certainly into something here. It is a shame not to play Fraser or Forrest but Fraser never turns up anyway. At least we could mix it up if required. I’d agree with the poster who wanted us starting Christie, he’s been brilliant in the games he’s played for Scotland recently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Tierney's probably our best option at RB but I think he'd be problematic there in that system. He'd be asked to maintain the width which I'm not sure he'd be particularly good at from the right, although he's clever enough to make it work off the ball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fucking hate the Robertson/Tierney dilemma. However or wherever you played with of them, it’s always going to seem like a waste of a top class left back. Such a typical Scotland thing to happen though, you’ve got to laugh. 15 minutes ago, chocolateankles said: Nah, but if you think McBurnie as a lone striker is the answer then christ knows what the question is.

Agreed, that's definitely the weak point in that team - only really getting width down one side from the full backs. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d rather have Christie playing as well as he’s done well cutting in from the left. McGregor would be my first to be sacrificed as I don’t think he’s been up to much in his recent caps. Still got Fleck to factor in too. Our midfield options are crazy. Agree with you. Marshy’s team looks decent but McGregor is crap and I’d get him right out that team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same players would actually fit much better into a 4231 with Armstrong on the left and Christie right, both coming inside onto their good foot. Just would need a right footed RB ideally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
