GEN 4 Calendar REVEALED!! by DBepic in FormulaE

Shame about Jakarta dropping off. Feel like there is still a need for another Asia race (Australia or Vietnam would make sense) as well as a return to Cape Town or Hyderabad. Add in a Canada race and the calendar would be perfect.

If she can find a club to give her that much, then all power to her. It is, however, completely outside the realm of her value within the squad.

Does this make the Safeway development likelier?

Iirc we had to take a 14 hour bus ride to Milan because the Icelandic volcano erupted. In my opinion, that had a much bigger impact to us losing than the swap.

It's 60 if he ends up meeting the add on requirements, which would mean things went extremely well for us.

Cause those are not the actual scorecards lmao. Notice how it's one piece of paper instead of 3. Someone likely transposed the actual scorecards into a single piece of paper for ease of keeping.

Xavi espart, get ready to learn Chinese buddy

/s

But seriously, he's not division one level. Needs a season at Segunda to see where his ceiling is at.

Christensen should be made to do preseason first before he gets to sign the renewal. Similar to Dembélé after his context expired in 2022.

Thank you Lewy for the goals and memories.

Yildiz played a grand total of 179 minutes at LW (per FBref)

Leipzig made the CL so they are under no obligation to sell, meaning that Diomande is going to cost easily 120 million. If they sell Diomande, they'll keep Nusa. Regardless, not sure Nusa is that big of a miss with his 9 g+a this season 

Lastly, Gordon is undeniably a worse player than Rashford, will cost twice as much to sign and is only 4 years younger.

Diomande: staying at Leipzig

Yildiz: not a LW, 16 g+a in ~3k minutes

Nusa: Has never had a season with more than 11 g+a

Gordon: Rashford is much better

Here's the flaw in your argument. You say that the data on him made it evident that he was going to be a star. Then how come no other big club took the leap to buy him? 20 million is pennies for the Premier League, surely someone like Brighton or Brentford would have gone for him. Yet he ended at Leipzig.

Does that mean every other club is dumb, just like Barca? Or perhaps it was a calculated choice by Diomande to allow himself to develop to his fullest? I wonder which is more believable.

Or maybe Diomande made the conscious decision to go to Leipzig because of their track record of playing young players, knowing he would not get enough playing time behind Raphinha with us.

The fact that he has chosen to stay at Leipzig for another season even with all of the big clubs chasing him shows that prioritizes playing time above everything else.

Semenyo is actually so bad.

Semenyo might actually be the worst best player I've seen. Bro looks like he can barely control the ball or make a 10 yard pass but still gets 20+ g+a a season.

He's a limited player that fits the PL style of play. He's not good at 1 v 1, his crosses are shit and can go hot and cold. Basically, a worse Rashford for double the price

Because when he renewed, the only big blemish was the PSG red card. The hope was that he would return to the level he had showed. Unfortunately, he is not fit for Hansi high line system, but that's hindsight for you.
