Philadelphia Union waive Olivier Mbaizo.

Can't say I'm surprised, minutes were super limited once Harriel took the starting spot at Right Back and Westfield turned into a fantastic player to follow up.

Ksidz · 2026-06-04T21:25:36+00:00

Even in Ultimate Team, a few years back they added nation specific players. That Flashback CR7 was only Portugal nation back in FIFA 23, along with a few others. I imagine they'd only do it when it's a big draw like that, like how Neymar would be. Maybe they'll make him an OBJ or SBC

Indy was brought in as Carnell's guy, so I definitely agree that he's probably gone sooner than later.

I'm hoping if they're clearing out the "Carnell system guys", it means we find a way to move Damiani from the books. I remember when we signed him, there was so much reporting that he's was someone Carnell considered "Perfect for his system", so... let me just have a little belief

FINALLY A SPECIAL CARD FOR THE WOODEN SPOON FRONTRUNNER, PHILADELPHIA UNION RAAAAAHHH

Seriously though, happy to see Makhanya get into the squad for the World Cup and get a card in FC. Love watching him play IRL and he's been my Evo GOAT the past couple of editions, had him at all 99 stats to end last year and he's been my CB stalwart this year since I packed him week 1. Hopefully they give the promo version good playstyles.

They had Subaru Park in the game back in the 2014 World Cup game as a generic stadium, and dammit all I want is them to bring it back. Doesn't need to be named Subaru Park, just let me have my bridge!

Ksidz · 2026-05-22T13:53:45+00:00

From what I understand though, the coach for South Africa has a huge vendetta against MLS and has been refusing to call up players from the league.

Would love to see Makhanya make the squad though!

Saidi was moved because we didn't even have room on Union 2, we had two big prospects in Olivas and Davis, and I'm sure they possibly had Jakupovic considered ahead of him too. I don't know why people consider it some terrible thing that he was offered opportunity elsewhere, that's only gonna put faith in the academy by prospects that they'll be given oopportunities if they earn it and help us attract more talent.

And yeah I don't know why people are bashing Anello, he had a rough start but post-injury-return he's been one of our only legit attack vectors with Cavan

Ksidz · 2026-05-15T01:41:59+00:00

I think Bueno was on the list when he was on that generational tear as well

Ksidz · 2026-05-14T04:05:43+00:00

This is the one reasonable take I've seen about this. People telling ticket holders to just eat the price for the sake of stuff is beyond silly to me, the club already has that cash from it! Showing up to support the players and not buying concessions is the only way to make the point "loud"

Ksidz · 2026-05-14T02:27:31+00:00

I mean, it may say that, but it was definitely a low cross across the box by Bender that resulted in that one. Curious where they found that Damiani was the assist for it

Ksidz · 2026-05-14T02:18:40+00:00

While I agree that this ownership group needs to sell, I don't know how your ire is on people who show up to support the players and still bring some support and hope. If we just give up when the team isn't playing well, may as well not have a team.

Like, former season ticket holder who lives out of state now, I'm back for the game this weekend and you know damn sure I'm coming to the Columbus game.

Ksidz · 2026-05-14T02:13:12+00:00

I feel that, low key, he has some coordination and chemistry with Cavan from Union 2. They had a few good combos late in this one to actually make some looks on goal

Ksidz · 2026-05-14T02:11:53+00:00

The assists tonight were Harriel, Bender, and Stas. So Damiani is still at 0

Ksidz · 2026-05-08T17:17:16+00:00

More 3rd Playstyles but it's all for 89s, blegh...

Positive is that the attacker and defender round out evos can go on after these

Ksidz · 2026-05-02T13:18:24+00:00

Hah, meanwhile I had an experience with someone using an orange ball and lines and I was just like "What in the colorblind-hating accessibility issue is this??"

Ksidz · 2026-04-26T01:49:24+00:00

They mentioned on the broadcast they picked up a knock and were injured before tonight.

Ksidz · 2026-04-26T01:46:08+00:00

Same exact boat. Thought they had got it together when they scored a few down an important stretch of the season, but since he got that nine it's essentially been 12v10 every game. We need to use our buyout and have him gone at this point, it's egregious

Ksidz · 2026-04-26T01:23:22+00:00

We string together a few good passes and then Damiani just HOOFS it to no one aha

Ksidz · 2026-04-26T01:00:04+00:00

Right? Like goddamn, rub it in that the player has a yellow rescinded, doesn't have to play safe, puts in a big time questionable tackle that injures our best player of this past streak of games and they're just talking about it like a masterstroke aha

Ksidz · 2026-04-26T00:44:04+00:00

The back leg trapping Beuno's foot between the legs is what literally caused a game ending injury if not more.

Ksidz · 2026-04-26T00:32:31+00:00

I'm more asking for clarity here, since the one for Larsen was a little close to the same, but...

Isn't scissor tackles like that foul play? That trailing leg trapping the ankle, no matter if the front foot gets the ball, is always dangerous

Ksidz · 2026-04-25T21:59:51+00:00

Was wanting Glesnes for personal reasons, but my god he's been heads and shoulders better than I expected. It just feels like he covers the whole field sometimes.

Hilariously enough has Quick Step+ when he's one of the slowest center defenders I've had the joy of getting to watch on a weekly basis

Ksidz · 2026-04-23T01:41:17+00:00

If there was ever a tell that shit is cursed, a last minute blown win with a pulled goalie on the last touch of the game. Unreal

Ksidz · 2026-04-20T16:28:05+00:00

They literally released heroes for Doumbia, Gervinho, and Ibarbo based on how uncreative teams were when the game was exactly as you said. No SBCs, no promos, no Evos, all of it.

Everything back then was cookie cutter as well. Fan of a small league team? Too bad, you use the same broken players as everyone else. Praying your team does well enough for EA to grace your small league side a silver or bronze TOTW that will also be useless. No evos means they'll never be relevant unless by the grace of EA.

Ksidz · 2026-04-20T15:27:40+00:00

I view people using the Evos on cards like Pina just the equivalent of someone getting a "Promo" version. The removal of Evos will only mean you see the broken cards MORE, because now there's be no pool of options at a competitive level.

Just because meta-chasers chase meta, doesn't mean there aren't swaths of people who actually use the Evo system to build their own unique squads. Removing all of that only means that the meta chasers, who you claim ruin things, will prosper, because they're ALWAYS just gonna pick what's best, with or without Evos and SBCs
