Random question of the day..

[Dave]

Has anyone used Simon Dawkins (64 Bronze - San Jose Earthquakes) before? I have an epic hybrid lined up and I wanted Graham Zusi at CAM, but it seems only Dawkins would leave everyone on 9 chem. Does he match up?

[Jas]

Never used him.

Looks just as good as the other player tho.. Link to the team you have planned?

Real difference is Zusi has monster long shots, possibly the best long shooting bronze in the game.

I use Dawkins all of the time. I use him AND Zusi at CAM in 451. I'm glad that I do. :D
Actually - I usually start Zusi and sub in Dawkins.
Here it is...

This team has brought me more wins (and enjoyment than any other team I use).

[Dave]

And how is Dawkins when compared to Zusi next to him?

And how is 4-5-1?

And you know Cuesta is on 7 chem there, might want to get someone from Chicago Fire to go next to him to go up to 9 chem.

If they are played together, they don't link as well however Dawkins is usually there to pick up a rebound that was put on frame by Zusi.
As for Cuesta- he is Columbian I think the link is dim more to the fact that he is not American and is linked with Bornstien in the Mexican league . I would be better off using someone from the U.S. in his spot.

I love 451 with the super fast striker in Fucito. It only works for me if my ST is a lot more faster than my CAMs.

[Dave]

If you had a Chicago Fire player anywhere it would work too, though eg. Anibaba at RCB. He'd have a strong link to him which would make up for the missing link to the DM ;)

So essentially what I'm asking, is Dawkins better than Zusi in any way or would it be better to drop someone else like Oduro in order to keep Zusi involved in the team?

[The Other Leo]

In my experience - Zusi is better. Dawkins usually comes off of the bench and never disappoints.
I will also look into the missing link - thanks!

* Ok...just bought Anababa....let's see how that works. I might try it tonight.

[Jas]

Otsemobor. :D what a useless player he was for us.

Pearce is a great CB. :cool: managed to win him for 3k in my 4411 team.

Has anyone used Martin Bravo and Vicente Sanchez? Out of the two which would you recommend?
