According to this OBW is cleared to start jogging:hump:
But what exactly does this mean for his return/debut?
Does anyone know where this puts his progress?
I mean its one thing to jog but its another to play competitive footie

Here's a generic discussion

http://www.sportsci.org/encyc/aclinj/aclinj.html#8

Obviously this is not specific to OBW, but beginning jogging after 4 months (the "fourth phase" of rehab) looks typical. He tore the ACL in October.

Sounds like it could be anywhere from 3 to 6 months from today (ie anywhere from May through August) that he is match fit.

^^ I am hoping he can play in the international friendly game, get him some game action before MLS games.

Don't want to rush him as well.

Here's a question though: When he's ready and fit, will he get to play? I mean where does a healthy OBW fit in the striker pecking order

This year:

Vitti, Barrett, Dichio, Ibbe, White

Next year: (assuming Vitti is still here, and Dichio retires)

Vitti, Barrett, White, Ibbe

^Really? you think this year 17 year old Ibbe will be better than 23 year old White but next year 24 year old White will be better than 18 year old Ibbe?

This year, OW gets a pass I think, due to his injury. I think he will get some game action, but Ibbe will probably get more.

I know its only FIFA 09 the video game, but OW, is pretty fast in the game, and has already knocked out Barrett from the starting lineup in my league....haha!!!

We're not overloaded at striker. Not until some guys prove some things.

Vitti is a big question mark. He will either be a star, or be gone by the summer.

Barrett couldn't get in sync with Blanco at all, and now he has to do it with DeRo (and Guevara). I like the guy, but it's time for him to show that he can be a wire-to-wire featured striker.

Dichio is one knock away from being done.

My guess is, if we're not near the top of the league when OBW is fit, then he'll see action immediately. I also think that Ibbe will get minutes.

We'll need all these guys in the second half, if we get into Concacaf CL.

OBW's overall rating is 63, same as Dichio. Barrett is 65 whereas Ibbe is a low 58.

Nope. He was included in the new roster update last week. As was Cronin (who looks like a 60 year old man in the game) and Hall.

For you Fifa 09 players, I'm just curious what formation do you play?

I made Vitti with same stats as Barrett but faster.


For you Fifa 09 players, I'm just curious what formation do you play?
A 4-4-2 with Barrett and Vitti
If Im down 2 goals I'll sometimes go to a 4-3-3 and move DeRo up.
If Im leading by 2 goals or more I'll go to a 4-5-1 and give Cronin some time.

Is he ok with that? Isn't his natural position cam?Actually nobodys overall is effected in any of my formations except DeRo who will go from a 72 to 73 overall when I put him on the left side up front in a 4-3-3.
It works out really nicely. :)

Will OBW be a Canadian or a Jamaican International?
