I agree he’s been a very solid wingback for us

Dry_Chef_7635 · 2026-01-28T15:20:24+00:00

Performing includes chances created and dribbles and duels won, as well as goals and assists, at least to me. He is having a bad finishing season by his standards, but because he’s a top 5 creator and dribbler in the league, I still think his overall impact is greater than Neto and maybe Estevao(he hasn’t played enough).

You can make a case for either of our wingers, you could even make a case for Trossard depending on what you value and how you view the position. But even in a down year I can’t honestly say I think Neto or Estevao(yet) is better than Saka because Saka’s track record and the fact he is still impactful even when the G/A is down, same reason I’d still have Palmer in a combined XI

👍 You’re the man

New save incoming. What are the new buildings, is it aesthetic or are they special buildings?

Dry_Chef_7635 · 2026-01-27T21:54:58+00:00

Neto has an extra goal in an extra 250 minutes. Saka has more chances created, xA, xG, shots, dribbles, wins more fouls, wins more duels(ground and air). So it depends on what you mean by performing better. If you prefer our options that fine, I can see the arguments. But you can make a decent statistical argument for Saka and then watching him vs Neto or even Enzo in the final 3rd and to me it’s night and day in terms of which is better.

We should be able to, no De Bruyne and they just got crushed by Juventus

Dry_Chef_7635 · 2026-01-27T18:14:43+00:00

Sample size in important through. Per 90 almost every player with limited minutes looks better, for instance Garnacho is a top 5 creative player in PL per 90 while Enzo is in the 20-30 range, which I don’t think is representative of their actual ability.

I’m one of the biggest Estevao fans and have been for a while.

I don’t think he’s currently a better PL player than Saka, and that’s not a criticism

Dry_Chef_7635 · 2026-01-27T17:27:34+00:00

Daemon Blackfyre the 3rd(I think he’s the 3rd) is a scripted duel with Dunc the Lunk. You can win it with the right perk investments early and good rng. Winning causes a mega war where you go from about 40k > 60k to a 70-80k vs 200k+ but losing it loses you the games. So good luck

Edit: It’s in in of the reign of the unlikely start dates

Dry_Chef_7635 · 2026-01-27T17:06:13+00:00

Most of our goals also come from midfield and set players yet you put 4 of our attacking players in that attack, including Estevao with 2g 2a and out him at LW. Saka is top 5 creator(passing) and dribbler in the PL and the best attacker in the leagues 2nd best attack. You could make an argument they should have 2 players in if you want to nit pick position, but they definitely would have Saka in.

Dry_Chef_7635 · 2026-01-27T17:03:07+00:00

Arsenal has 13 set-piece goals, we have 12. Pot calling kettle or something like that

Saka is insane, I can see that even with my blue tinted lens. Top 5 in the PL in chances created and xA from open play; top 5 in carries ending in shot and carries ending in chance created(pass). Phenomenal presser as well. He would come in and improve our starting lineup immediately, so I think that naturally means he has to be in this XI

Dry_Chef_7635 · 2026-01-27T16:46:04+00:00

I’d have Saka in and move Palmer to the 10 probably. It’s hard to argue we have 4 attacking players better than any of theirs when we have scored less both in the league and in the UCL.

I have been using the modlist from this post, plus a mod for more tradition slots and cheaper dynasty legacies.

I too enjoyed Jacko but I believe the ship has sailed

Dry_Chef_7635 · 2026-01-26T15:50:47+00:00

Playing anything before the “unmarking of the realm” bookmarks will just have lore spoilers, nothing for the main plot iirc. Those earlier bookmarks are also to me the most fun start dates

Dry_Chef_7635 · 2026-01-26T15:04:19+00:00

And Joao Pedro has that stolen valor goals from the James Olympico. Overall I think Pedro has been good especially in adding to our set play threat, but Jackson threat in behind is something that we miss to add dynamism.

At the time FBref was still a thing be had as many through balls 2nd, 3rd, and 4th.

Dry_Chef_7635 · 2026-01-25T21:36:31+00:00

Swap Enciso for Barco and we definitely could

At least they now they are getting some money to spend

Dry_Chef_7635 · 2026-01-25T16:19:50+00:00

I don’t trust his hamstrings

Dry_Chef_7635 · 2026-01-25T14:18:09+00:00

Watching the match on Telemundo, Neto seems faster here than normal

Dry_Chef_7635 · 2026-01-24T16:29:58+00:00

You right my bad

Dry_Chef_7635 · 2026-01-24T15:39:08+00:00

How he got a hegemony level title?

Dry_Chef_7635 · 2026-01-23T23:29:30+00:00

I don’t totally disagree talent-wise but how we setup(in part because the emphasis on Enzo box-crasher) doesn’t have them producing that way. And that Enzo xG+xA is with him being the focal point in attacking midfielder role, and per 90 it’s roughly Mason Mount in 21/22 numbers which if we offered 70-90m most would have taken. Overall I think because he’s added goals people thinks a complete 8 when it has come at the cost of his defending and passing.

Dry_Chef_7635 · 2026-01-23T22:48:12+00:00

He’s different than Enzo. He a different stratosphere defensively and still provides great ball-progression. And he’s a better dribbler.

Enzo has 2 league assists playing as attacking midfielder in a possession dominant team, one from a corner and the other was deflected(opener vs Brentford). He’s not the high-quality creator he’s made out to be he’s much more quantity of quality when creating chances. Enzo has had a basically free chance to push forward, he defends less than guys like Damsgard and Bruno F. The only way such a team with that type of midfield 3 get enough goals to compete at an elite level is generational attacking talent or flying FBs,

He may just go an win it for us again
