Our old roster used to be up, then our football team started winning championships.
You should put it back up. That's the nice thing about Wiki. If I had an account I'd enter our side in there.

number 10 sweeper? you mean a more defensive cb?
Like a Libero, basically. I always played midfield before my final year in high school. Then our coach decided to switch to a 5-4-1 where all we did was put 11 behind the ball and try to strike on the counter. I helped lead the team from the back while we had fast players further up the pitch. I guess it worked... we wouldn't have beaten the likes of The Heights School (Freddy Adu's former team) if we did not put so many behind the ball and play defense as a collective unit.

we call that position libero...but it's kinda old right now...no one plays with a sweeper just because most of the defences try the offside trap.

4-5-1 is the formation which helped romania in wc 94...it was a 4-4-1 actually but they hit hard on the counter

Yeah, the Libero role was used in the glory days of Catenaccio. But this system we deployed was like catenaccio on steroids.
