The Official Game Status Update Thread

[Nentsia]

Look at my Empoli (white shirts) completely parking the bus after an early goal against Genoa, supposedly a bigger team than mine. My Empoli is expected to finish 19th of the Serie A (20 teams), so I'm entirely justified to employ this form of trench warfare. I must admit that I've never played so defensively before in the game. Look at those 7 defending players on a line and still 2 in front of it. Genoa was playing in a 3-4-3 formation, I opted for a flat 5-4-1 for that reason. Due to my rigid man-marking instructions my formation would often morph into something like a 7-2-1 though.
