Form Changes
Only two players managed to improve in form this week:
-Midfielder Agustin Alustiza -> solid (7)
-Wingback Mattias Leier -> solid (7)
14 players saw their form remain the same this week.
Six players dropped a level in form this week:
-Midfielder Milan Dufek -> solid (7)
-Midfielder Gino Behling -> passable (6)
-Winger Reg Nichols -> passable (6)
-Midfielder Javier Tejeda -> passable (6)
-Goalkeeper Darryl Read -> weak (4)
-Wingback Tyler Willard -> weak (4)
Tyler Willard’s nosedive over the past few weeks is really starting to concern me. He will more than likely be replaced by Mattias Leier for this weekend’s league match.
In the Zone
Milan Dufek’s stay at the top was a short-lived one, leaving Mr. Super-Form, Arlen “Headcase” Lucas as our only player in excellent (8) form.
Form Dogs
Ben McMahon and Forrest “Gump” Tobias remain our form dogs this week, despite the playing time they both saw. We’re not concerned about it at this point, however, as we expected it to take more than just one match for these two to shake the rust off.
Player Values
Note: This section will be re-started next week. I just realized that my excel formula somehow got messed up, and has not been reporting these numbers accurately. Oops.
