Playing Attacking choppers
Strategy
thad birchall Asked 10 years ago
Hi Alois
I am a none league player but last night i joined a summer league at my local club. My first match was against a Attacking Chopper, who normally plays in our second division.
Although i was given 4 start (handicap) i found no matter how i returned the ball it came back to me.
What is the best way to play against this type of player?

Hi Thad,
Well done on joining into the competition.
The attacking chopper can be awkward. The key is to keep them on the defensive by placing the ball well, usually into their backhand side.
