If your league is starting soon, you may be involved in running tryouts for your team.
You will need to have some objective way of selecting your players. We believe that a measurement system is very safe and fair. In our last article, we offered a template leading to ranking players from best to worst. Today, we offer you a second evaluation tool.
This model helps you determine which position a player is best suited for. It is based on the skills mostly required for either defense, midfield or forward. Once you have rated your players, you can see which score highest for various positions.
This is important because you need to establish how many players you need for each position. For example, if you wanted 18 players on your team, 2 goalies, 6 defenders, 6 midfielders, 4 forwards, you may find out that the 19th best overall player is your 6th best defender. Now you have a choice. Do I keep one less defender because the 7th best midfielder and 18th ranked player could be converted to a defender? Or, do I keep the 6th best defender and drop the 18th ranked player?
If you are familiar with MS spreadsheets, you can easily adapt the template provided based on your own preferences.
