I don't really know many of the people on this site yet, but for the first week of "Ones to Watch" im going to pick some familiar faces that I know. For people who don't know me im a active member when it comes to writing Media stuff on VPOLs 360 league, VPFL. Ill be joining the league as a player in the upcoming weeks but for the time being, im going to try and get a little weekly Media going, to try and get this site underway for the new season, so lets begin.
1. Gabi l 14 l
Club - Atletico Madrid
Position - CM
Gabi, more commonly known as EHM Jackzeh has a good football mind. I've played with Jackzeh a lot in VPFL and he is just as good in possession as he is out of it.
Gabi tends to be at his best when it comes down to the mental side of football. He reads the game well and does well to intercept the ball on numerous occasions. What Gabi lacks in attacking talent he sure makes up for defensively,
Being able to play in a Centre Back role as well as a Central Midfield role, he has the mind of a tactitican when it comes down to winning the ball and retaining possession. For me, Central Midfield is the heart of the team, its where the ball is won and lost, if he plays his game right, he cant certainly provide his team with a great chance this week.
2. l KBK l
Club - Hellas Verona
Position - ST
No doubt most of you on this site wont really know KBK as of yet but give it time and you will. KBK is a typical Javier Saviola striker, a goalscorer. What he lacks in flair he makes up for with some outstanding finishing.
Ive played with KBK and he is very easy to link up with, he knows how to bring others into the game. He can play various role up front, he can play deep where he comes deep to collect the ball, he can play on the last mans
shoulder for balls clipped over the top and he can also play as a poacher in a lone striker role. For me, hes most effective in a 2 front line, when the focus of the centre backs is split between too players rather than just him, it allows him
too have a lot more freedom.
3. VPOL Henry
Club - Real Madrid
Position - ST
More commonly known as Steady. I used to play as a striker myself before converting to a more attacking midfield role and for me Henry has all the traits of a Complete Forward. A complete forward can finish, link up, head, chase
loose balls, hassle defenders, they can pretty much defend from the front and create something out of nothing. If Madrid are to perform this week and climb the table they will rely on him to score goals, if he has a off day in any of the games this week then im not too sure who else in the Madrid side will step up, of course I don't know too many of them only time will tell but the only other option of goals I think they have is HP l Andru. Must perform if they are to win.
4. VPFL Danzooooo
Club - Chelsea
Position - CAM
Danzo has a very important role at Chelsea in Attacking Midfield. Ive played a lot with Danny on VPFL and for me hes only effective when hes passing it long. I don't really rate Danzoooos short game and I think he gives it away cheaply under pressure but when given the chance to spread the ball long he find his target 9/10. With Bony and Russian playing up top, for me they are very idle strikers and don't do much running so Danzo only has a option of a through ball or a short A pass, for Danzo to blossom in his Chelsea side, he needs to get his wide men hugging those touchlines and he needs to spray some balls to the flanks. Out of possession Danzo does well in winning it back deep however at times hes too deep which means the strikers have no support, my advice would be to take a leaf out of Atletico Madrids book and play a 442 flat in order for the other Central Midfielder to do just as much running to take some of the pressure off him in the middle of the park. A point to prove this was the fact Danzo pulled up in 61st minute of the Pre Season Cup Final.
