I've updated my thoughts on the most appropriate MCR team for 4X4 (assuming non-selection of Sheffield/Holmfirth). Added more speed, threat, passing-on-the-move and fitness without sacrificing goal tending. Em is on-form right now and has to be in.
Sweeper - Adam
Midfield - Neil
Left Wing - Chan
Right Wing - Emyr
Having said that, I'm easy if not selected as there is Newmarket the weekend after that I'll do instead.
I'm going to give this a miss, realised quite how much I've got on over the next 6 weeks. Will be interested to hear how it goes and what people's thoughts are on the format.
Based on current form and the performance on the 2nd day of the UKC i'd say any 2 combos of Badass should be in.
Chris and Rob linked up well, and Ste was solid in defence.
Pushe came to shove i'd say:
Me - obvs ;)
Ste
Rob
Emyr
I love you all and would be genuinely happy to play with other combos if that's what the general consensus is.
All good but I'm pretty sure Ste isn't interested.
From who we have interested I'd say me, because I want to go. Chan, for hair and leather jacket wearing. Neil, for tactics and passing, which I reckon will be important and easier with more space and options. Emyr if he's interested or Joe if not for chasing/harassing/magnetic mallet/Welshness.
Neil's tactics certainly can't be overlooked. But that midfield role is gonna be tough, active sweeper might suit this format better, then me in midfield, rob and em up front.
When I burst through from mid into attack then we go to the diamond formation with Neil coming further out and rob switching left, em right with me still hassling at the tip of the diamond...

I didn't really think about Adam! In this sweeper role this could potentially be our best team on paper.
We should sort this out before too many teams enter. Shall we assume we need to pick from people who put their name down, plus maybe Emyr? If people are available I can try to sort out some 4x4 court time for next weekend if we want to confirm or change teams, I reckon we should get something down within the next couple of days though.
I might have sombra/Antonio onboard to play with, so we could sort a team. If more people want to play then it should be fine, there are enough places to send more teams if we can make them.

I was going by those who added their names to the list.

I propose a killer joe sub then.

Also, badass really didn't get going all last weekend, none of us played well.
ha!
Shame, he's on form at the moment IMHO

Its working for Liverpool ;)
Who does the diving/biting/racism?
Neil, football hooligan at heart
Actually after ready my post back we defo need Neil as my tactics sound shit and are based on a loose understanding of football formations....
I didn't really think about Adam! In this sweeper role this could potentially be our best team on paper.
Missing me though, so it's a non-starter.
but adam can stay sober
But I'll bring my mum.
Maybe play the proposed teams against the rest on Tuesday if there's time....
Gonna need a bigger court.
You interested? I think I could get us a bigger court if we can get 8 people to try it out one day.
Count me in.
First two teams down...
1. 4D - Luca (c), Josh, Adam & Rupert (CMB/LDN)
2. Le Punsung ponies - Shane (c) , Frax, Edd, Boagey (CMB)
'Entertainment'

Sort it at PH tomorrow evening.
To clarify, I am interested, but am too stressed and busy to plan much right now.
Didn't add much clarity there did we...
Current options:
1. Rob (driving, can take stuff but not people)
2. Emyr (need transport)
3. Arthur? (still interested?)
4. ?
Train to Farnborough Friday+Sunday seems to be £85 each.
I might have sombra/Antonio onboard to play with, so we could sort a team. If more people want to play then it should be fine, there are enough places to send more teams if we can make them.
I'm game...... :)
Could you drive Em down?
