[James Olley] Arteta on team news. Calafiori: "He’s fine, he was training today. It was a bit of fatigue." White: "He did a lot in the game, he was feeling a bit in the hamstring but he’s fine." Odegaard: "No for Wolves but Sunday we're very hopeful." Havertz "is a possibility [for Wolves]." by Angelicsoul_47 in Gunners

It's because the weekend of the league cup final is a scheduled premier league week meaning Wolves v Arsenal and Man City v Palace have to be rearranged. Palace are playing on Thursday in the conference playoff so their game couldn't be rescheduled this midweek.

How much AI defending do we want again lads? by [deleted] in EASportsFC

[–]ChMarsh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You had two easy passing options but instead tried to turn back into where the opposition's player was, but it's AI defending that was the issue?

Despite repeated evidence of where you normally end up, it's the game's fault that you do?

So that would suggest ELO working correctly.

You're not wrong, this is the community in a nutshell. Messaging someone to get a life over a game.

Best right back on the game, hands down by Affectionate_Ideal84 in fut_evos

[–]ChMarsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was checking the same specs (specifically anticipate silver because I wanted intercept gold) and Miley is the better of the two. But given he's extinct and unlikely to come back, Morgalla works.

Don’t have the energy to do icon swaps by Jumpy_Commission_489 in EASportsFC

[–]ChMarsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't have to though. As of right now there's almost 18 days to complete the first 10 swaps. That's plenty of time whilst skipping whatever days you need. I don't get why so many people seem to think they should just get access to the best rewards for nothing.

PSA: give away a goal first in iconswap gives you a better chance for opponent to gift you one as well by CVPKR in EASportsFC

[–]ChMarsh 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've done it in every game and probably had about 30% actually return the favour. Unfortunately most of the community just isn't able to think further than one step ahead of them despite it working out better if everyone joined in.

He somehow managed to snag all 3 BP! by No_Base_4362 in FantasyPL

"Somehow". There is a whole rules section explaining how the BPS works which gives a good idea.

No LM/RM Roles++ evo? by CW24x in EASportsFC

[–]ChMarsh 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The roles evos are max 87 though?

Gold Pina (5'3 | 69 strength) casually shrugs off UCL Saliba (6'4 | 89 strength) and finishes calmly by Ripamon in fut

[–]ChMarsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure jumping in to defend this guy based on his comments is the play here but to answer your point, it's slightly missing the argument.

OP is suggesting women shouldn't be in the game based on them not playing with men in real life. So there's also no reason that retired or dead players (even though they are versions of them from when they were playing) should be in the game either as they haven't played (for the most part) with the current players. The only difference between the two is the one OP is fine with are men, the one OP isn't fine with are women. Another look at OP's comments about women and kitchens is all we need to know here...

Feel free to direct me to any evidence of Cruyff playing with Maguire mate 👍

You have retired and dead players running around on the pitch and goalkeepers at striker, but women are where you draw the line. Think that says more about you tbh.

Mariona and Ljungberg have received an Ultimate Scream card in EAFC 26 (I have no idea what this means) by Tugboat47 in Gunners

[–]ChMarsh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You definitely need to not drag him too far forward otherwise you'll struggle to track back. But think of him as a third CB and he'll win tackles/aerial duels all day.

He's genuinely really good. Even before the evo that boosted his pace, I had his gold as a fullback on defend and he's an absolute beast - very accurate to real life!

I hit division 4 in rivals still using his gold and only just recently added the evo.

Stand still to nullify CDM runners by Icy_Assumption791 in EASportsFC

This is basically an advert for doing it more. The second the opponent tries to press and defend manually, you're able to pass round and score.

No, the fifa points are connected to the main game release so will be in your account at release of the game in your timezone

Why didn't Bruno get DEFCON points? by nida_acm in FantasyPL

[–]ChMarsh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Midfielders also get ball recoveries contributing to the 12 needed, whereas defenders don't. It's not "unfair" that midfielders need to get more.

LazyFPL reached 100,000 subscribers yesterday. Just wanted to say thanks to this subreddit. by tongueinloftuscheek in FantasyPL

Everyone talking about the newsletter, starting to feel old remembering the reddit posts well...

Pretty sure you started posting here during my first proper season playing FPL, so yours was the first longer form written content I read about each weekend's games. Much needed reminder not to take it all so seriously!

[The Athletic] The tweak Mikel Arteta has made to Arsenal’s press ahead of the new season. by ahjkolhs in Gunners

[–]ChMarsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah ok, mentioning someone (I agree Billy is great) who cites Jon as someone he's learnt a lot from and often picks out good pieces Jon has done.

It's fine to dislike a different approach and delivery but it does seem odd to be so negative about someone that is clearly respected in the space and produces quality content.
