Clearly my comment about people not commenting on SM's posts, was based solely on this thread, thus the injustice towards you and probably other users participating in the discussion.
My apologies to you and eveybody else.
The market issue is making things harder indeed. This is because people trained and keep on training LI fitting players. This in turn is because thats the "right" way they've been told since entering the game.
But here we have a big contrast. The majority of users, start the game playing outside focused offenses.
For a 5 league nation for instance, its IV and V are full with such teams, to an estimate of +80%.
Even if such a user reaches III after lets say 5 seasons, slowly training and building his team, he gets to the point that he realises that he's no match to a mediocre LI team and that his own trained players, if anything, are more suited to playing LI from this level onwards.
There is a need to inform people, not that they can play outside offenses too( many already do), but primarily how to do it correctly.
I would love having a credible thread in my national forum, where it states how to set up such teams, how to run them and most importantly what kind of players i (roughly)need and how to train them.
Look inside is so far ahead, that credibility is key to this, in order to work. I would suggest, top dogs playing perimeter offenses, from around the world, opening a thread and discussing how they do it(or used to do it). Exchanging data, experiences, set up configurations, players' skillsets, training courses etc
Make all the common conclusions one big post and there are many enthousiasts around to forward this to their national forums(with translations if needed) and promote it.
No change of this magnitude can take place without the involvement of the base. No participation of the base can take place without the involvement and guidance of good experienced managers.
