[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP - I respectfully disagree, I have rarely seen coaches hide weaker players in the midfield. I think they seem to get parked in outside back positions, assuming there's a strong center back or two to defend the goal. [/quote]

You put the weakest at forward, as 1 of 3 or 1 of 2 on the field.  Let them run a bit, tire out or bang a defender.  You'd never put the weakest player in midfield or at ANY spot on defense.  Outside backs are supposed to be part of the attack, as well as defending.  Have to be able to get up and down the field.[/quote]

Different experiences then. Multiple times I've seen it and not only that, some of them don't even remake the team. Now, as I said, that doesn't mean that if your DC is in midfield, they are the weakest. That's just usually where a coach hides them - in the club's ibe been involved with.

Even now, our 2 weakest players on the team are both put in MF. One has been tried literally almost everywhere else, and this just is the easiest place to put the player. All it requires is simple passing and when you surround the player with stronger players in front and behind, they can hp compensate for the gap.

To be clear though, I'm not saying that being in MF - or anywhere - means a player is weak. Ideally, you want a side of a strong 11 players. [/quote]

Last year our team put both strongest and weakest players in MF.[/quote]

That's a common strategy too.  That way, the strongest can offset the weakest.[/quote]
