Island Swell have submited their teamsheet for their first pre-season game against WD on the 31st.

The team is

S_Jasotharan
Neil_Pickup
Nico_Borcic
Håkon_Mørk
Liam_Camps
Sean_Fuller
Dave_Richards
Celestino
Matt_Luff

The pre-season can be use to try things and a daring and interesting formation has been selected.

The result isn't important. Its all part of the learning curve designed to make 'The Swell' the premier football team in CW.

Its actually pretty difficult to pick our best formation. We have 10 CW members in the squad (only 2 specialist defenders) and there is an unspoken agreement that CW players will not start on the bench. We also have a very good import (Celestino) that is a midfielder and very difficult to leave out.

Im not saying Hakons prediction of our formation is correct or not. However, any Swell players that want to suggest a formation can email it to me goughy at cricketmail dot net and I will run tests and sims with it.

Great start lads, lets keep this form running into season proper, and the championship won't be far away at all.

Good start to the season guys. I said the result was not important and I still feel that way. What was important was the performance and that was very satisfying.

Great start and lets keep it up throughout the season.

PS Well played Hutch

Good start, shame about the little mixup for the goal. And nice to complete 90 minutes on the pitch without being sent off...

Same can't be said for your defensive partner :D In all honesty, defensive is our weakest area (Only really 2 good players) and the potential number of suspensions yourself and Borcich may get scares me.

I'm willing to bet that the Pickup-Borcich combination will see less than half the available playing time this season. May be an idea to mellow out somewhat pre-game in future. Ideas...? Liam...?

Dunno whether I can play in the back four, with my stats, but it might be worth a shout. Could put some more defensive orders to me, anyway.

Im willing to bet that our team aggression is set lower than most teams. If I set it much lower we will be giving them candy bars as they run around us :p

I guess we will just have to deal with having 2 hot-heads as our key defenders.:) Suspensions are probably the biggest threat to us winning the title but I wouldnt swap anyone in our squad.
