Lol. Yeah, too much advice :P

tnx

er...just for correction. I do not believe there is a TO characteristic for LI when someone is playing FCP and I have not seen any evidence of this hypothesis. Your best bet against someone playing FCP is to play a fast paced tactic like LI/PTB/RNG so your guys have a shoot first mentality rather than a pass the ball and try find the right shot mentality which could result in more turnovers.

Run and Gun is an outside orientated outside tactic. But if your guard's best shot at the time is an inside drive than he will still take it. Player try to take the best shot available for them at the time. You might want to scout your opponent a bit and see what is his most likely tactic for defense and play something to exploit it

Ahah, this is the "good confusion" kind.

Just to be sure: what would you consider a decent amount of stamina to pull a FCP off? Currently, the lineup I fielded for the match has an average of 7 - respectable stamina.Too low?

Obrigado rcvaz, boa sorte na taça também! :)

no it is not bad at 7, though i personally do not recommend FCP

Well, you do have a bunch of backups. 7 is a bit too low but as long as your reserves play some minutes too it shuld be fine.

Not necessarily. That also depends on your bench and whether you have a good enough backup for that player for your starters to take a rest.

I think you should play man-to-man. (I'll explain why below.) and if i were you i would play low post. The only 2 defenses he has played so far this season have been man-to-man and 3-2 zone. When he has played man to man his perimeter defense has had a higher rating than his inside defense.

One side note, you may not even face his big guy. He didnt play him in the last cup game. There could be 2 explanations. 1 is that he was so sure of the victory that he didnt play him. 2 which is The one i believe is that he is watching his big guys game shape. If that is the case he has started him in 2 games already so again there might be a chance the big guy doesnt play. Which is why i would play man to man. You are better with every player except that big guy so if he doesnt play your superior players should be able to shut them down, and your big guys should have a hey day playing low post.

Either way to be perfectly honest if you crunch time him at home you should win this game. Plus you have another home game in your next league game that you can tie and recoup some enthusiasm. I say you go for it.

As far as FCP press goes, i believe unless all your team has above average OD for their respective positions it is the worst possible tactic to play! Your guards are better but not that much better so i would think that FCP would hurt you.

I had nearly the same view,however i admit that i didn't take the Pf absence into consideration.
