I started off working on a Sweeper because if we get a decent one it makes teams work a little harder than 'just shoot through the whole defense'. Even if our line gets disrupted, a shot has to get through both sweeper and keeper to score. Also Cannon Shot as mentioned. Once we get to the point where that's not regularly happening anymore though, I definitely think it's a case where as larry mentioned, it's all up to what you want to make yourself vulnerable to. Nothing's perfect. People recommend all kinds of weird things like just stacking 6 CDs in the box so nobody can use nutmeg, rainbow feint, or headers. Even then though, it only leaves four players for midfield/forwards and high-accuracy forwards or penalties from wing forwards breaking in.

So yeah, definitely whatever our defensive coach wants there.
