I like big easy as a personal preference.
True, FM is lower in quality at 4s than other leagues, but that hurts us on Big 3 man defence as much as it does with Big easy. If the DM and AM are good enough defencively, the level of FM attacking is a bit too slow/inaccurate to break through. A lot of goals come from individual mistakes and misreading teammates. We get as much of those (if not more than) good goals. By this I obviously don't mean all teams, just the general level of FM across both divisions compared to YeS and HBC.
-On big, one on one with the keeper = no danger. Two on one with the keeper = chance.
-On big easy, one on one = good chance. Two on one = almost guaranteed goal.
-With the size of the Big easy goal, you have to rely on team-mates more than Big because there's only so much of the goal you can cover yourself. Unless team chemistry is good, mistakes will be made.
For those reasons, I think we'd see just as much goals in big easy as we would with the 3 man defence rule
I don't think you should write off Momo's idea, even if you favour sticking with the 3 man rule.
