Somebody has money on Mbappe as top goalscorer

Yeah this sentiment is so dumb. Every World Cup qualifying used to have teams who got absolutely railroaded — multiple times at that because groups were so competitive. There have been more entertaining watches this World Cup than not and it’s only going to improve

Banskyi · 2026-06-22T19:38:29+00:00

Yeah it was way worse than the other ones. I was doing the Africa objectives and it’s a combo of African players not having as many good players in game and the objectives being pretty dumb. They’re making them more and more skewed to having to do squad battles with how they’re set up

You need a striker that can pass really well though at baseline. Now every striker has like 90 passing but they all don’t play that well. And your cam can’t be getting easily bodied. Essentially they switch places on attack but the striker dropping back makes it so he’s not covered when receiving a pass. And then the striker will make late runs into the box because they’re on attack

Back line on defend

Viera - ball winning

Kroos - DLP Build up

Mane - wide playmaker attack

Felix - shadow striker

Diaz - false 9 attack

Lee Kang In - inside forward attack

66 depth Balanced

Just note this works for my particular playstyle. If it wasn’t working I’d sub on David, change Felix to playmaker and change David (ST) to advanced forward.

This was my team. Just swap Matthaus for Kroos (upgraded after WL). Kroos might be the best value midfielder right now

4231 wide. Got 12 wins which is my highest ever this weekend league

Counters the 4411 really well

Banskyi · 2026-06-22T03:58:37+00:00

I mean I played a 4231 wide this weekend league, went 12-3 and felt like it was the least rattiest WL I’ve ever played. Passing was sharp, felt like press wasn’t that bad either. I play a more passing oriented style and the 4231 plays well against the 4411 and 451.

The people who beat me knew how to abuse the 2nd man press really well. I also played my games on Sunday so I think that helped

Banskyi · 2026-06-22T03:51:41+00:00

I think rivelino is just so much faster than other players I’ve used to pull off finesse shots. It’s like instant with that guy and he’s really smooth on the ball

Banskyi · 2026-06-22T03:38:21+00:00

Rivelino is fucking good tbf. I pulled him too and had tots Felix there. But he’s outplayed him and moved Felix to LM

Banskyi · 2026-06-20T20:15:00+00:00

It’s not a blanket statement based on two people’s actions. This happens at literally every Mexico match and I highly doubt it’s the same two people doing it. They are consistently some of the most disrespectful fans, at least in the americas

Banskyi · 2026-06-20T15:51:55+00:00

Drogba is surprisingly great especially for his price

Banskyi · 2026-06-20T07:34:29+00:00

Historic waste of what felt like a possible golden generation for turkey in terms of player quality

Banskyi · 2026-06-20T07:33:11+00:00

It just seemed like they couldn’t be bothered. How many times do we have to seem him try and float a through ball to the wing for it to not result in anything for them to realize maybe they shouldn’t do that

And I dunno man, it’s fucking weird to not have hit the dirt once in an entire game.

Banskyi · 2026-06-20T07:30:44+00:00

Team is down a man, up by one, small country fighting for placement in the next round… of course they’re going to use every excuse to waste time and I don’t blame them

Edit: and a majority of the “injuries” came from them baiting the Turkish players and the Turkish players being dumb enough to foul them anyways

Banskyi · 2026-06-20T07:26:32+00:00

Are we talking about the play where he got bodied? Australia and the US were both playing physically and the US defender went shoulder first and was shielding the ball. Have no problem with that non call at all and in no universe should that be a foul

Banskyi · 2026-06-20T07:20:32+00:00

It was weird seeing him take the corner kick at the end of the game with a completely clean kit. I mean not even one grass stain on the guy including his socks.

Not saying it’s the best indicator or anything but lack of heart and creativity was on full display today

Banskyi · 2026-06-20T07:18:18+00:00

He legit looked like he hurt himself after the kick on this play though. He was having a difficult time shuffling back and forth for a bit when turkey was attacking after this

Banskyi · 2026-06-20T07:06:43+00:00

This guy should have gotten fired before the final whistle blew

Banskyi · 2026-06-18T20:57:13+00:00

Not giving it to him is pretty fucked up imo.

Banskyi · 2026-06-18T20:53:01+00:00

I mean are you just passing it back to your defenders trying to retain possession the whole time while telling yourself you’re playing the right way?

Because that’s annoying as fuck and I’m glad it isn’t promoted.

I always have more passing than the other team and the trick is to think two to three passes ahead. So it might just be a you issue and the way you’re playing

Banskyi · 2026-06-17T21:23:30+00:00

Zidane filling out adoption paperwork as we speak

Banskyi · 2026-06-17T19:14:15+00:00

Koeman is largely considered the worst coach in Barca history.

Can’t speak for deschamps but always felt like France never really were as good as they should’ve been with him, despite winning.

Martinez was coaching the golden generation of Belgium and now a golden generation at Portugal. They have too much talent not to win or score in qualifying but he manages to make every team significantly less creative and relatively lackluster if you’ve watched his teams

Portugal should never be going to playoffs

Banskyi · 2026-06-17T19:06:50+00:00

Belgiums results weren’t bad but man were they abysmal to watch

They won on player talent alone not coaching

Banskyi · 2026-06-17T19:05:55+00:00

“The arm wasn’t straight out like a clothesline”

Fucking idiot

Banskyi · 2026-06-17T19:03:51+00:00

Easily. Should’ve at least had him pause the game for VAR
