Creation DateJuly 22, 2013

Lineup (4-3-1-2)

Ochoa · Moreno · Reyes · Layun · Aguilar · Salcido · Guardado · Zavala · Dos Santos · Chicharito · Vela

Aguilar and Layun are two very good up and down Wing Backs that can overlap the whole game and are solid crossers. On offense, Layun and Aguilar will go up the wings. Salcido, the Defensive Midfielder will position himself as another Center Back, as he's a solid defender, and Zavala will position himself as the lone Defensive Midfielder, who will support the play when needed, but will rarely advance up the field, he's a strong, mobile player and is a solid ball recuperator. Guardado will be playing more inside as Layun will be overlapping him, but he will often make runs toward the Left Wing so he can cross. He can play more towards the center because he has a solid touch and good vision, but will move towards the wings because he's an excellent crosser. Dos Santos will be playing as a False Winger moving freely upfront, but he will lean more towards the Right side to support Aguilar's overlapping. But will move around towards wherever the play is at. Dos Santos is the most talented and skilled player on the team and plays the best when he is free to move around from flank to flank. Vela will drop back to help the play progress, he plays better as a Second Striker, he is mobile and has a decent touch. Hernandez will stay in the box as the Center forward and the players will look for him as he will always be the target for crosses and killer balls as he will always be in line with the last defender. He's a quick player that knows how to get open inside the box. The team will look towards the wings to start off the attacking plays. On defense, the team will line-up in a 4-3-3, all the Midfielders will drop back to help defend. Dos Santos will try to open up incase of a possession switch to receive the ball and to start the counter attack. Layun and Aguilar know how to play fullback and are decent at the position, Reyes and Moreno are solid Center Backs. Moreno is a tall, mobile, and very solid, he plays in Espanyol, Reyes is a young, tall, also mobile defender, very solid. He has good technique and ball skills as a defender. Ochoa as the GK, because he has better reflexes, diving skills, although lacking skills in coming out for crosses, is not that much worse than Corona. He also has experience playing in a good league in France, if it weren't for him AC Ajaccio would be a 2nd division team. Salcido is an experienced, strong, mobile defender that knows how to play Defensive Midfielder. Zavala is a Defensive Midfielder that is mobile, tough, solid recuperator. Guardado is a tough, speedy, box to box midfielder that can play a good part in ball recuperation.
