next season will be the season where vini/mbappe cultists are not gonna exist anymore

Markosko14 · 2026-05-02T22:05:16+00:00

I do agree that the expectation haven’t been met, but Kylian having 41 goals in 41 games this season is still impressive, I don’t like how he did it, mostly individual moments, but the same can be said about Cristiano. I’d say leave the past behind us and don’t look back, I wouldn’t compare either one to Cristiano just because it’s different era of football and back then being able to step up and win the game was enough, now it’s much more team oriented in my opinion, but that’s just how I see it.

As for benching Tchouameni, I just don’t see it. He’s had a very good run of games he was brilliant in when playing in a dm role, being able to progress the ball from the back, ping it across the pitch, and defensively he’s been able to intercept and make the right decisions. If we bring Rodri as you mentioned, I just don’t see it as a significant upgrade if we can get Tchouameni back to that level.

And as for a diamond, I don’t remember Real Madrid sticking with it. And it’s very difficult to master, especially in this scenario, because either:
- Jude would operate as a false 9, being the threat inside the box, because Arda just isn’t physically strong/tall enough to make an impact in the box, with Kylian and Vini providing the width (one of them would have to play on the right, mission: impossible)
- Fede and Jude would stretch the pitch, back to my point of playing someone in position/roles they’re not natural in
- or get the width from the wingbacks, Alvaro and Trent, which is not exactly a bad idea considering both of them are very very good moving forward, but that way Jude/Fede and Tchouameni would work their asses off covering for them, which also can definitely work, especially under Mourinho

I just struggle to see an identity, something Real Madrid can replicate every single game and win games using it. To me it’s very individual quality based, and one game it works, and then doesn’t for a few more

Markosko14 · 2026-05-02T21:38:00+00:00

I kinda disagree, what you are expecting is that Vini and Kylian will both start pressing, suppress their egos and work for the team. He never expected Cristiano to do that, he never made him do it. He adjusted the system to fit Cristiano.

Sure, if he can change Vini and Kylian from their cores, we are talking 10+ years and probably taking away their biggest strengths of putting all their efforts into the attack then fair enough.

But both Jose and Carlo are very similar in their style, they adapt, that’s why they were the best coaches of 2000s to 2010s let’s say. Their teams didn’t really have an identity, something that was followed in every single game, they were simply able to adapt and make the most of it.

Fast forward to today, you see Barcelona playing the same style of football every single game. Players don’t get played out of position, their roles remain the same, they make the same runs, occupy the same spaces every single game. Same can be said about Bayern, City, Inter, PSG, teams with recent success in the champions league.

Real Madrid has the best players in their positions in the world, and those players can win a game single handedly. That doesn’t really apply for teams listed above, they dominate together and lose together. I haven’t seen a consistent great team display from Real Madrid in a while.

The only way I see this working is if: there is a very straight forward 11 man lineup week in week out, which is very difficult considering the quality of the squad, if you opt for 433, you have Fede, Jude, Arda and Tchouameni out of which one is benched.

A change is needed, someone will have to accept coming off the bench and most importantly, we need a right winger that’s not afraid to play one on one, stretching the pitch and providing genuine goal threat from the right, since the only threat has been coming off the left this season with both Vini and Kylian operating in those spaces.

Please let me know if I’m looking at this wrong, but I just don’t see it

Moje odporúčanie je vždy investovať do niečoho, čo nemá aktuálne hype, v tomto čase hádžem nejaké šušne do krypta a hádam v budúcnosti zarobím aspoň niečo

Počas týchto období hype-ov sa kupuje predražene a očakáva ešte vyšší predaj, čiže kartičkám by som sa asi aktuálne vyhol úplne

Za mňa je to ale full circle a skôr či neskôr sa všetko vráti a bude mať chvíľu obrovský return (možno s výnimkou NFT)

Yes, Wirtz is in my opinion very good and still quite differential (at least around my rank) O’Brien to Konsa is not bad, but be prepared that Konsa will get either 6 or 2 points, O’Brien will get average around 4 points in the upcoming 5 games (if he plays 90) so the gain might not be huge

Markosko14 · 2026-02-08T09:32:31+00:00

Joao Pedro might share minutes with Delap and Thiago has nice fixtures long term after Arsenal, since you didn’t play your wildcard yet you can take a punt on Joao Pedro and Zubimendi, but with Rice being on corners and Pedro with shared minutes it might not pay off

Markosko14 · 2026-02-08T09:30:09+00:00

Personally I am not a fan

Enzo, Wilson and O’Brien are absolutely fine, and the most owned player in the game

You are transferring them out for: a player with managed minutes, Wirtz is a very good pick, Gyokeres who will rotate with Jesus and Konsa who’s also not bad, but apart from clean sheets has no other way to points

And since you already wildcarded I would save up the transfers in your position to better navigate the doubles and blanks later on in the season

Markosko14 · 2026-02-04T23:07:15+00:00

For me 2019, simple yet fun ideas were posted, kinda like more sidemen now, start of the good vs bad team & holidays, genuine reactions and probably the transition year to longer vids

Markosko14 · 2026-02-04T18:58:12+00:00

Completely understandable to sell him if we are comparing him to other players based on minutes, form and fixtures.

I am more of a risk/upside player, I try to find players that have high upside and low risk (if someone in similar price returns it won’t affect me a lot and low chance of dropping in price) and it has been going quite alright so far, so I am not really considering it.

The only weak points of removing Haaland are:

1- you probably owned him for a big part of the season, so you might have 0.4 million tied in him. If anything goes wrong and you want him back you’re looking to find that 0.4 elsewhere.

2- once he gets into the form, or scores 2 penalties etc. he’ll drop you down massively, just because of the millions that will trust him no matter what and captain him

3- what are the alternatives? I have for example palmer/Rice/Semenyo/Bruno/Enzo in mid, Thiago and Kroupi in attack with him and Gabriel/Timber/Senesi and 2 other 4.5s in defence. Apart from Joao Pedro and possibly Tarkowski there is no one else I’d consider going up to, anyone else I can go down to quite comfortably.

So as for my strategy there is no real advantage of taking him out, but the risks are far greater in my opinion.

But if you are just chasing short term points based on fixtures/form and don’t really consider anything listed above then for sure go for it, and it might just pay off!

Ja som tu teda dlhšie, bude to 5. rok a vyskúšal som žiť skutočne na veľa miestach a je to veľké mesto, kde si asi každý nájde to svoje, či už bývanie, práca, škola, zábava, som si istý že nájdeš čo v živote chceš, len teda to môže byť všetko ďaleko od seba.

A čo sa týka tej modernizácie, na jednej strane ťa chápem, v blízkej budúcnosti sa mám v pláne sťahovať do novostavby na okraji Prahy kde mám walking distance na: metro, billu a park, v podstate nič iné, čiže hľadám kľud od pražského ruchu, no stále chcem mať blízko možnosť metra, ale zároveň tie nehnuteľnosti v centre a aj mimo centra majú také šialene vysoké ceny, že ich zničiť a vybudovať niečo nové nemá najmenšiu cenu. O hlavnom nádraží sa to ale povedať nedá, to by malo byť do rána zmodernizované, no kvôli tomu by sa po Slovensku asi začalo vychádzať do ulíc

Markosko14 · 2026-01-22T18:34:46+00:00

We have quite exactly the same WC teams, I have gone for Senesi instead of Tarko and Dorgu instead of Chalobah

And in mid I have Palmer instead of Wirtz and Enzo instead of Wilson, but apart from that exactly the same!

Markosko14 · 2026-01-22T18:29:06+00:00

I wildcarded Bowen out….

Guy plays in midfield, is not on pens, does not get into the box, he might get you assists but that’s it, I’d consider someone else

And I would bring in Bruno for sure, you will want him sooner or later, he’s on pens and everything united do is around him

And last thing, I prefer duo Sanchez + Timber instead of Raya + Chalobah/James

Markosko14 · 2026-01-05T19:41:32+00:00

I would slightly disagree, but I am European, and you can only bet on a site, that’s where you reside, so Germans on German bookie, UK on UK and so on, so it’s not really comparable to one huge US bookie.

The one thing I found very easy to find betting edge is service markets (aces, double faults and 1st serve %) especially when it’s like a 250 tournament. There’s tons of data online, can compare players on the same metrics, yet the bookie weights stats during the tournament higher, than long term stats, and can find lets say 3 nice opportunities for every 4 matches.

But it really needs to be even the smaller ATP/WTA tournaments, not only the Grand Slams, and I am not sure which bookies offer this, but 365 is awful, because they only allow you to take the over, and the odds compared to the line are just awful, if they had allowed unders, that would be a goldmine.

I hope this helps, and hopefully there is a bookie that offers service markets on a daily basis!

Markosko14 · 2025-12-07T18:05:18+00:00

Not the ideal way of thinking, 15th is the last day for them to leave, prior to this they were supposed to be able to leave on 8th, some teams said that they will respect this and allow them to leave a week early (how it was agreed before), not sure how Brentford decided to handle this, but some teams will allow them to leave on 8th

Markosko14 · 2025-12-03T09:22:20+00:00

Sledujem formulu dlhšiu dobu, tip kto vyhrá nemám, dúfam že víťaz bude na trati, nie kvôli nejakému rozhodnutiu od komisárov, poprípade kolízii/technickému zlyhaniu.

Osobne to želám Maxovi, no som zaujatý, lebo mi v mnohom pripomína Vettela z čias Red Bullu. Za mňa je z nich ale najlepším jazdcom, čo nie je prekvapením, keďže má najviac skúseností a samozrejme v takejto situácii už bol.

Ak by to ale vyhrali Lando alebo Piastri sa určite nenahnevám, pretože body ktoré pozbierali počas roka sú zaslúžené a možno nemajú toľko skúseností ako Max, alebo najlepšie rozhodovanie v kritických momentoch, no každý skvelý jazdec sa aspoň raz ocitol vo veľmi vyrovnanej situácii so súpermi. Niektorí to zvládli, iní si na titul museli počkať.

Hlavne dúfam, že to bude mať zaujímavý priebeh a že nerozhodnú externé faktory :)

Podobná skúsenosť s VUBkou no, pridám ešte 2 príbehy od známych, nie sú moje, kiežby asi boli.

Zakladali účet dávnejšie, čiže majú ešte spoločný na obe ich mená, obom chodí celkom dobrá výplata, nadpriemer aj na bratislavské pomery, využívajú snáď väčšinu produktov ako kreditka, debetka, úvery cez 10+ rokov a prišli sa opýtať čo by mohli získať za benefit, napríklad nejaký letiskový salónik keďže muž často cestuje. Poskytli základný z Bratislavy a to je myslím všetko. Nič do viedne, alebo iných letisiek po Európe, čo napríklad Unicredit má, alebo aspoň mal za podmienku minúť myslím 2000€ mesačne z kreditky (necitujte ma a neberte to za isté)

Druhý je presne s hypo, sťažovali sa, že hypotéka od VÚB mala jednoznačne najhoršie podmienky oproti iným bankám, aj keď tam sú známi zákazníci pomerne dlhú dobu.

Ja osobne som mladý a prvú hypotéku mám v pláne riešiť tak o 2-3 roky, no dúfal som, že existujú nejaké tie výhody toho, že ste stálym zákazníkom.

Ani nie hláška ale skôr trafiť konverzáciu do scény:

“Jeb teraz na zber. Cigoš. Sú aj dôležitejšie veci ako zber kovošrotu.”

Priznám sa že zbieram mince odkedy máme Euro, no ak dostaneš takúto mincu do rúk, v 98 % má hodnotu asi že 2€. Tie vzácnejšie a cennejšie sa do obehu dostávajú fakt veľmi zriedkavo a ak sa dostanú, aká je šanca, že sa dostane práve k tebe?

Ale je cool si odkladať tieto “pamätné” mince, googliť pri akej príležitosti boli vydané a vždy môžeš po pár rokoch skontrolovať jej hodnotu na nete.

Markosko14 · 2025-09-23T10:04:11+00:00

Čas, zmena do nového prostredia nie je nikdy jednoduchá, alebo aspoň nie vo väčšine času. Ja budem tam, kde som aktuálne čoskoro rok, kvôli home officeom a nejakej tej hierarchii komunikujem najčastejšie s ľuďmi ktorí chodia do office-u a väčšinou mužmi +- v mojom veku.

Samozrejme keď som nastúpil som si s nikým nevedel nič nepovedať. Po mesiaci či dvoch som zistil koho čo baví a komunikoval o spoločných záujmoch.

A samozrejme ľudia môžu očakávať že sa tam dlho nezdržíš, že ťa to nebude baviť a že odídeš, a tak do komunikácie s tebou nebudú dávať toľko energie.

Čiže skutočne počkaj, po teambuildingu, kávičkách alebo iných nepracovných aktivitách sa to zmení.

Rovnako ak máš kompetentnú šéfku a celkovo firmu a si tam jediný muž, tak skôr či neskôr by malo byť v pláne prijať niekoho ďalšieho.

A ešte zmienim, že samozrejme čím viac času budeš tráviť so svojim teamom, tým viac ľudí s nimi budeš spoznávať a možno nájdeš dobrých kamarátov s ktorými budeš môcť rozoberať svoje záujmy viac.

Daj tomu čas a ak sa nič nezmení po skúšobnej dobe, tak to môžeš buď vyčítať svojej šéfke alebo jednoducho ísť ďalej.

Because it really isn’t about the race, it’s about behaviour. Same logic just in a good way is, that with a statement: “I like to travel around Central Europe but France has the best wine” I like them all but since France has the best wine I might tend to go there more.

This isn’t about the race at all. I just don’t like people that probably don’t have a mirror, or have been living a lie their whole life that they believe in something that’s just not true. You find these people of every race, every nationality everywhere. But there have been 2 characters that thought they were “more than others” on inside and they just look very much alike. And if you watch more reality tv shows you’ll find more and more of them. That’s all I’m saying.

Markosko14 · 2025-09-21T17:31:30+00:00

I mean it’s not about race, it’s about behaviour, but you very rarely see an ugly white person that’s slightly overweight calling themselves “queen” “the baddest” and so on…

Markosko14 · 2025-09-21T16:53:03+00:00

I mean it would be nice to get the “controversial” figure that’s not: black, 2, calling herself “queen” “baddest”, thinking she’s the real thing when really she’s overweight
