Here's what a preview looks like in MSWL (not MSWL United):
What do you guys want to see in an MSWL UNITED version of a match preview?
Some of the stuff in the link may apply (past meetings for example). But what else? Tactical stuff (how often a team has played Offside Trap this season, average hardness play, what else)?
Let me know as I'd like to have input before I put it together.
Thanks!

- how often do they "play for a draw"?
- summary of injuries and suspensions
- how much of a teams SL per match was assigned to DF/MF/FW (averaged over the course of the season e.g. 30% DF, 40% Mf, 30% FW)
- what percentage of games have played an SW, although this is probably much the same thing as OST percentage?

Definitely any players that are suspended or injured for the match should be listed. I like the idea of OST and PFD percentages, though I'd take it a step further and do PFD for home & away splits if that's not too much to ask. Average hardness played and GPP remaining would be nice in an overview as well. Ian's idea on % of SL assigned to each area is a nice touch when looking at how they attack (or defend) as a team since we don't have 'tactics' like N, S, B, P, etc. in this league. How much SL they assign to each area really is their overall tactic.
Apart from that, listing the prior meetings, team roster with SL and Fitness shown, and the upcoming schedules for the teams just like with MSWL would likely be fine and serve us just as well in this league.
Of course, the cheat code where Mr. Dowson's chosen lineups for the match get shown to every other manager in the preview links once they get entered needs to be added to this league as well. Given that none of us appear to be able to stop Mr. Tucker, perhaps you could add him as well?
