    Default !!Koevermans/Jarju Goal Scoring Challenge!!

    Two teams.

    Two striker DPs.

    We have 13 games to play, Vancouver has 14.

    How many goals will each striker bag?

    I'll go with Kovermans 5 - Jarju 3

    Tough call both will require service from the midfield so I'd stop short of any implications regarding quality when looking at their end of season totals.

    iirc mista came in halfway through the group stage and slotted right in. would expect that both koevermans and frings will be in the CL roster.

    Tough to say. Koevermanns has a better record facing superior competition in the Dutch league, but Jarju is a lot younger and more likely hasn't hit his prime yet.

    Let's also not forget that how well each player is serviced on the pitch will determine quite a few of their potential goals.

    unless we get better players, Vancouver have better guys to feed Jarju the ball. Look at that tool Hassli doing well.

    Thing is, Hassli will probably benefit from Jarju too, so he may steal away some goals (Jarju talks about being a withdrawn striker and making plays). I think Koevermans will be the focus of TFC's offense, so he'll probably get more chances. Experience and a clear fit into a defined system he knows well will probably make Koevermans the winner of this challenge.

    How good is the Belgian second division? Kind of surprised this guy was a DP.

    Yeah, that's a pretty good point. I the big issue will be, as you said, whether or not Koevermans can fit into the system and gel with the existing players. Out of the two, I'd say Koevermans stands to be a more adaptable player in that regard, so that's certainly a plus.

    you're wrong. the DP's arent cup tied, we havent even qualified yet, and we can include them on the cup team list.

    It'll be interesting to see how Frings works with Koevermans too.

    ^ It depends how Frings is used. I hope he will be used as a CDM "regista" (Pirlo) so that he can realy contribute both ways.
