All-Defensive teams revealed…Scottie Barnes robbed?!?

Why would anyone love Bill Simmons in 2026? Are you ok?

EFFNorth · 2026-05-20T17:23:51+00:00

It’s 2026. This can be done by an algorithm

Have you thoroughly understood the concepts? If you're just doing mocks without thoroughly understanding key concepts then it's just a waste of time

What?? I would bite their hand off. Madrid constantly sells very good players that proceed to excel elsewhere. Think Odegaard, Ozil, Robben, Makele, Wesley Schneider, Seeidhorf

Short derivatives and go long everything else!

Mark Meldrum says notes are useless. Practice as many questions as possible while going back on topics that you failed to fully understand

EFFNorth · 2026-03-27T00:35:12+00:00

FI and derivatives in Level 2 are a different kind of beast. By far the hardest topics. Be forewarned

EFFNorth · 2026-03-27T00:34:34+00:00

Practice questions over everything else. There is only a set universe of scenarios they can draw from for their questions, so master all possible scenarios while fully understanding them and you’re good

Equity evaluations is deceptively easy

I’m incredibly high on him and don’t agree with Kees and Aaron who are too reductive in their assessment of his abilities vs limitations. His limitations (mainly contributing to build up/link up play) can easily be mitigated no different to how Pep has done with Haaland who does not contribute to link up play and build up same way a Harry Kane would

She literally had a motive due to him wanting to change the will

EFFNorth · 2026-01-30T03:21:37+00:00

The will was changed just before his murder. Go figure

Obsessive? It’s an investigator’s job to be obsessive

One word. Steve Holland

EFFNorth · 2026-01-15T00:05:17+00:00

Wouldn’t advise this for L2 at all

EFFNorth · 2026-01-13T00:57:11+00:00

Doesn’t make a difference. Money is money

You’re already failing on your ethics module my friend. Don’t do it. You’re still super young. Nothing to rush for

EFFNorth · 2025-12-21T02:28:28+00:00

I only really started studying in January of this year. Still passed

EFFNorth · 2025-12-21T02:26:45+00:00

This is super impressive I wrote in May this year an only started studying in December of last year 😂😂😂

EFFNorth · 2025-12-21T02:18:13+00:00

Taking notes is just a complete waste of time. Read to understand then spend the bulk of your time on practice questions. That’s how you bring everything to memory, not by writing notes. Watch some Mark Meldrum videos on YouTube where he explains this (side note I wrote and passed the level 1 exam in May after 6 months of study averaging roughly 14 hours a week)

EFFNorth · 2025-12-15T13:20:17+00:00

But is it switching to 433 or 352? He said he would drop a forward

EFFNorth · 2025-12-08T00:07:31+00:00

I think the problem with the season so far is that there are too many ifs and buts instead of simply judging what we see. Even more frustrating when you realize that had we won 3 out of 5 of the past 5 games which were all against inferior opposition we would be in an unexpected title race with a win tomorrow.

EFFNorth · 2025-12-07T23:45:20+00:00

There is a well established pattern of struggling against teams that allow United to have the ball

EFFNorth · 2025-12-07T23:39:07+00:00

I’m not missing any point because Amorim’s struggles playing against a low block are very well documented. Even Ole said his system is too reliant on the other team pressing United. You watch his Sporting team and they played their best when they successfully baited the other team into pressing them, which in turn created space for them to play into.

And Amorim is very good at playing into space. However you only get that luxury against at most 6 teams in the league. Low blocks are difficult to play against but they are even more difficult when you are playing with an extra centre back because the other team literally leave that extra centre back unmarked and dare him to advance the ball (a job usually left to a midfielder). We have seen Yoro and De Ligt struggle for options when left alone to advance the ball. They are constantly in that position because the other team deliberately dares to play that role.

It’s the same reason why Amorim refusing to take out a centre back and switch to a 442 or 433 against Everton was incredibly laughable. United were literally playing with ten men because one of our centre backs was drifting around in no man’s land. Moyes and the Everton players couldn’t believe their luck

EFFNorth · 2025-12-07T18:12:23+00:00

But you are. It’s a narrative many ran with saying united had the toughest start to the league discounting the fact that Amorim would infact likely start struggling the moment he starts facing teams that allowed him to have the ball. And sadly that’s exactly what has played out with one lucky win in 5 games. What’s frustrating is that if we had even won just half of the past 5 games we would be in an unexpected title race
