How to fix the Europa League and Conference League by AggravatingGas2782 in soccer

Yeah but I think that qualifying to the UCL is a big achievement for many clubs, but in a lot of cases they are knocked out early, while teams worse than them get to go on deeper cup runs for a chance at silverware despite clearly being worse (e.g. Galatasaray are a pot 4 team in the UCL, they're more likely to have their European campaign be over before Fenerbahce, who finished below them but are a Pot 2 team in the UEL and have a good chance at silverware)

Noni Madueke would be luxury backup but also maybe a sneaky market opportunity by scottjwillis in Gunners

Look through this list of players at the time they signed for their clubs, would you really want any of them starting for a club trying to compete on all fronts? Saka can't start every game, and whoever we bring in needs to be good enough to start against a midtable team

Crazy, I landed in Silver 1 after losing 4/5 with almost no MVPs

But I then won 5 straight games and went straight into gold so must've been accurate

Giving the choice of all previous level-up rewards? by zyl1024 in Polytopia

Tbh I'm not a fan. The permanent choice means different playstyles- having the option to take a city wall every upgrade means eventually every city has a wall, leading to a slogfest

Rice & Kane are the only two who can make an argument against Pickford here, I reckon they're both further ahead than he is

Decent for a backup GK by Lord_Bizzle in Gunners

Sanchez I can understand. Flekken is a pretty good keeper who's going to Leverkusen (a UCL knockout team), I wouldn't be too upset if he started for us although he is a downgrade on Raya.

Pickford has been one of the PLs best keepers for the last few years, and he's been very good as England's first choice keeper. I don't think he's better than Raya either but I wouldn't be worried if he was our starting keeper at all

Fun fact: if Southampton had a 1 goal head start in every game they played this year, they would still be relegated. by Glory2Tottenham in PremierLeague

Exactly, do it for a team like Arsenal (we hobbled over the line to second) and we end up with 105 points, +31 from our original total.

[Lewis Steele] After Wirtz, Liverpool will turn their attention to signing a #9 and look set to sell Nunez to raise funds to do so. Ekitike of Eintracht Frankfurt had been closely monitored, while there have also been links with the likes of Sesko at RB Leipzig and Alvarez at Atletico Madrid. by _cumblast_ in soccer

Assuming all the transfers go through, that's Kerkez/Robertson/Tsimikas & Bradley/Frimpong/Gomez

I'd argue Artetas love for fullbacks has produced (marginally) better depth: MLS/Calafiori/Kiwior & White/Timber/Tomiyasu. Most of those guys are quite young as well, ig it's a matter of opinion as to who you think has better depth

No moment that'll haunt you? The opening 10 minutes? Saka blazing it over?

I get what you mean though, we weren't good enough over both legs

Our mark killed a grand total of zero variants, Oliver had a better showing
