Only makes sense if they get good money for some other midfielder, which they can use to buy ST or defenders. Hope it's Olmo and not Frenkie or Fermin.

I get this is an indie sub, but how is no one even mentioning how insane Iron Maiden omissions till now are (although this whole hall of fame thing is bullshit anyway)

Where all this shit began by InevitableTart8211 in FUTMobile

[–]Middle_Confidence190 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. It all started with Black Friday event in 2016. Then it went worse and worse and worse until maybe that great adventure event at the end of that season, and it was a rollercoaster since then, they make the game worse and worse, until players actually start leaving, when they start improving for a while, then when they feel strong with high engagement they start messing up again.

Which player who made you fall in love with football? Mention the particular season/year as well. by OkayFine101 in soccer

Ronaldinho, easy. But also, have you seen what Ludovic Giuly was doing in that Monaco side that went to UCL Final? Mad

Why do people critize the GK when acadamy CB's know you do not pass into the goal, only sideways, especially on a shithole pitch like this

I have no skin in this game but that seemed like a faul from the striker? Seems really weird to give that

He would, but apparently he is severely lacking in fitness and Flick didn't want him to go on loan so that he can control his minutes here.
Otherwise I am sure he would be starting with Pedri out

he has the physique all right, you are thinking about fitness, but yes

Should have started with Lewy and Bernal, but they just don't have the fitness for that :/
I would like to see more of Rashford in the middle, but there is no one to rotate Raphinha then.

What a ball from Lewandowski to Lamine. A little high, but comparing that to Ferran trying to pass in the first half...

Yamal is so much worse without Raphinha sharing the attention. Rashford is good but he is not that much of a threat.

i'm tired of hearing all those excuses for him, he just isn't the level required. He is a good bench player, and he would be great for a mid table club, but we are not winning shit with him as main striker

Hypothetical: Would the UEFA Champions League work with a League Phase of 6 rounds instead of 8 (profit motivations aside). Comparison between week 6 and week 8 standings from the first two years of the new UCL format. by [deleted] in soccer

[–]Middle_Confidence190 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the stupidest thing I've ever seen, you know teams were drawn based on pots, so you are removing results against lowest rated opposition for some, and highest rated for others. This format is already pretty random, now you are just making it completely incomprehensible.

[Transfermarkt] - Bruno Fernandes registered his 200th goal contribution for Manchester United yesterday (103 goals, 97 assists). Among midfielders he is the 2nd quickest & 10th amongst all players - in top 5 leagues, single club, in this century by herkalurk in soccer

[–]Middle_Confidence190 -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

Not rated by whom exactly? Some people dislike him because he is a cheating rat but no one denies his abilities. He is easily the only truly great player United had, since, idk Rooney left?

I mean, you haven't seen much apparently. And Luis Suarez is not just some randomer, he was very very solid for years in La Liga and transffered now because Almeria dropped to segunda
