Well played!

Not really. Any team can attract 3-4 solid players. That's the easy part. Then you hope that the team does well enough in the season or has a coach desirable enough to attract 2-3 more. And so on. If the team does not perform well, you may lose one or two of your core and take a step back. Depth is everything. Dept separates to good teams from the rest. The top teams have two excellent middie lines and one good one, 2-3 excellent attackment and 2 good ones, 2-3 really good defenders and 2 good ones, and a very good goalie. If another team is running out 3 stud midfielders but has little else, when those boys need a rest, the team gets lit up. It's all about attracting 18-22 solid players, not just 3-5.

Great post and absolutely true, but isn't that what the person stated those teams are lacking depth. There starting lines are solid but after that they are not as good.
