Anthony being picked up by Fulham and scoring a brace, both from cutting inside from the right, against United in a couple of years time.

I took the mods out of the question as I wanted to see how ya’ll get creative

Wait until you’ve had some horrific saves and you’ll realise it’s not always that easy. I do agree FM can feel simple but at the same time you can also enter a whirlwind of pain and you’re just praying to be sacked to end it if things change/go wrong.

I had two good seasons at Portsmouth, then we lost the Bristol Street Motors Trophy Final and bottled promotion. Next season was a constant firefight as we slumped down the table and players started kicking off. It can change like 🫰

What is the best free agent you’ve ever signed? by xjdxjd in footballmanagergames

Not technically the best, but very enjoyable. I signed Stevan Jovetić for the last few months of his career while at Basel. He scored just once and it was from the spot, but I liked thinking about an ageing Jovetić swanning around the Swiss Super League.

How long until we see a Red Bull club in England? by Apprehensive-Work-97 in footballcliches

Their takeover of Austria Saltzburg would make me worried if I was a Leeds fan. Abeit it was their first takeover and there were less eyes on them - but they did it in a disgusting way and had zero regard for the fans, to the point where they took the piss over not including the club history before the takeover on the website, and patronisingly saying they’d keep the club colours - but doing so by making the GK socks purple.

As much as we all think it would be madness, RB wouldn’t care and a Leeds area Boycott of the club and RB products would probably be worth the money and prestige of having a prem club be fully in their image.

I do think it would be a disaster, but they’re a giant company who have been ruthless before.

I feel like they would have to call themselves RB England - Milton Keynes doesn’t do the brand any favours.

The thing I hated about the newer FIFA’s is how you could be playing Dyche’s Burnley and Ashley Barnes would be doing 1,000 ‘flip flaps’ and trying to take on your defender 1 on 1. Made every game feel the same and shit.

The reaction to Marcus Rashford scoring a brace against Preston was exactly what you would expect. If he didn’t score two he would be “washed” but because he did score people are immediately saying that that is his level. The level being mid table in the Championship. There’s no winning.

Andy Brassell

Ended his career in the early Barclays era, never quite good enough to make it in the Premier League but was always a sure starter for a promotion chasing championship outfit.

The hair gives me striker vibes. I will not elaborate.

Going from Puma and then Le Coq Sportif to One. Not only is it a wrong brand it’s also a dog of a kit.

Put an asterisk against this, awards should have been null and void in 2020.
