If anyone knows..... who are some of the players to watch out for on Blackville Hilda??

These guys:

Don't wanna play those scary fellows. They might tear somebody up.

Their defense is much better than their offense, and their sweeper steps up real well. Their left fullback (#10) is fast and persistent, and dribbles fairly well. THeir keeper is very good, but their only real scoring threat with Dentroyet suspended is Deminico, a really fast guy up top. Faster than any of our players, if that tells you anything. I hope you guys beat the crap out of them.

What's the best way to score on them, long shots? I figure they're goalie is pretty athletic, does he have any major weaknesses or minor for that fact.

The kid with the "1996 style pony tail" was the only player that really stood out in my eyes.
They don't possess the ball to well and tend to "toe poke". Just possess the ball and take alot of shots, no keeper can stop shots coming at him all night long.

Thanks for the your help STUMBLECOW. Is there any real threat on their shots. Where do they take most of them from? or do they just try to get past the defense and take a 1 on 1 shot with the goalie?

PS thanks to everyone else to for yalls help too. Do any of yall know where to look out for them on their shots?

Blackville-Hilda likes to toe-kick the ball long and try to outrun the other team's defense. They have great overall team speed but little ball skills. However, they are very well coached and know their roles as position players. They maintain shape fairly well. They have no club players on their roster and a team that can possess the ball and attack in combination will frustrate them into senseless fouls and yellow cards. On a break, they push to the right side and try to shoot far post. If they have patience, or on throw ins from mid-field, they set up a play on the outside where their right striker fakes a run to the corner and cuts the ball back into the middle to lure the back inside, then makes a wall pass to the center-forward and runs to the corner to set up a crossing ball. Tell your back not to commit to the dribble move to the inside and deny them the corner. Their keeper is quick, but falls for a fake before a shot. You can go low on him all day.

If you can work the ball up the field, the only thing you have to worry about is their back row. The only offensive threat is Dominico Banks. You'll know him right off the bat. He just takes it to you. He's not a great ball handler, so if you get on the defensive pick him up, and you should get the ball from him if you're a half decent defender. Just worry about his speed. He pushes the ball really hard, but he kicks the ball so far in front of him that he rarely catches it in time. Just don't find yourself up to high, because you're likely to get burned.
