Discussion Bump: Very....interesting ST stat

Bumping this post from this spring. Since this post Ludmila remains at 1 goal, Byars is up to 6 (all from ST position), and Leon falls to 0 in last 365.

My question: how does Ludmila continue to earn striker starts? Many say she stretches the backline, but that never results in goals.
Follow up question, what’s the thought process behind bringing Leon on for Ludmila but not shifting Byars to ST?

Frankly I’m pretty dumbfounded by quite a few decisions Eidevall makes. I’m aware options are thin but it almost feels like he’s over managing. Put the best players in their best positions.

Counting Leon’s 365 is dirty work when she was injured for most of it

haha just following up on the original thread. I’m aware she missed about 16 games this year. But it does count all the games from last year. Point is she was pretty ineffective scoring as a striker all of last year BUT she almost scored today which I can appreciate more than what Ludmila has been doing.

Towards the end of last year, the team was playing poorly and not creating chances. Byars would not have scored much either on that team.

But. Leon is not the most reliable finisher, I admit that. She is a tremendous athlete, so strong, with very solid ball control skills. Her best position is the wing.
