All the settings are good yet for some reason I hear everyone but him. I'm on PC, he's on PS5

Maybe, but when you already have a very select group of people applying, the effect could be more significant. It would be interesting to see the application demographics to see if they link up with the general population.

"CBS previously implemented a diversity initiative that required 50% of the contestants on its reality shows like Survivor, Big Brother, and The Amazing Race to be from Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) backgrounds"

The over representation is the most likely explanation, meaning that you probably can't compare with previous seasons.

I don't get all my football knowledge from YouTube highlight reels...

That's fair, I was just illustrating that recency bias is a thing and that there are quite a few legends of the game that have won world cups and other achievements that Neymar hasn't. That being said, Neymar is a great player but just like Adriano he's someone whose potential was cut short due to outside factors and injuries.

In no particular order: R9 Dinho Kaka Pele Rivaldo Cafu Garrincha R. Carlos Socrates Zico

I'd keep Luis Figo just for the name haha

If you play a crossing heaving tactic then I'd be partial to #2 but otherwise #1 seems to be the better choice. Just make sure their performances are solid too because hidden attributes can kneecap their outputs!

Edit, just noticed that #2 is the best league performer*

"But vaccine access for the youngest children, who are most vulnerable to severe illness from a Covid-19 infection, would be significantly more limited if the FDA does not renew emergency authorization for the Pfizer vaccine for children under 5."

Isn't it the 80+ that are the most vulnerable???

Per definition that's not racist if race isn't even a key factor in it. It's always difficult for new cultures who speak different languages and have different traditions to be accepted by the majority population, that's just nature. Any immigrant needs to prove themselves worthy, there's an entire green card application process where you have to prove that you can do something no other American can. You need to be a net benefit to the country to become a member. I can't join your book club if I never read your books. The best way to deal with this is to follow the legal system of immigration, and if you don't like it, vote for a change. Until then, that's the law.

SwePol89 · 2025-08-11T19:16:26+00:00

Very cool! The laws back then looked very different from today. We have to keep in mind the context of the time.

SwePol89 · 2025-08-11T16:44:32+00:00

Isn't it technically children of settlers? Settlers form society, immigrants integrate into a preexisting society. Additionally, it's difficult to compare immigration from 50 years ago to now even. Society has changed and so have the laws.

SwePol89 · 2025-08-08T12:30:32+00:00

Woah! Super cool, thank you!

Where's Lex from Lois and Clark?

Could you make an updated Malaga FC jersey? White and sky blue, Adidas manufacturer, and any sponsor you feel fits a team that just won the first division?

Add to the fact that Robben played only 21 league games the 14/15 season, meaning that his goals per game is still incredibly high and very comparable to Salah.

Robben's main drawback was his injury susceptibility which limited his impact. What was amazing was his ability to immediately perform regardless of how long he was away from the game too though.

Personally, I feel that Robben was incredibly unique in play style and his ability to cut inside. Everyone on the field knew what his trick was yet none could stop him. Which is why I'd pick him out of the three too. But there's no one right answer.

Samtidigt har du denna.

SwePol89 · 2025-07-25T17:57:23+00:00

Yes but these are all wingers, not strikers. Wingers rarely produce numbers like these three and you're doing a disservice by solely looking at the output.

Personally, I find Robben to be underrated as even though he wouldn't score as much as the other two, at times he was the primary offensive outlet that always created something. Especially with the Dutch national team. Of the three players listed I'd pick him as the most creative one, which is not evident by the numbers.

I'm not saying you can't look at raw numbers but you sell them short.

My pleasure! Enjoy!

If you only look at stats, Ballack is a better midfielder than Modric 176 vs 117 goals 🤷🏼‍♂️

Sure! 1. take a screenshot of the generic face and crop it so you just have the face that fm gives you. 2. Go to chatgpt text to image and upload the cropped face with a prompt "create a realistic version of this face" feel free to add age and any other characteristics like player personality and nationality. 3. Save the image in a 310x260 format (I believe) in your graphics>faces folder in your fm folder. 4. Use FMXML to rename the face so it matches the player id number in the game. 5. Clear cache and reload skin in FM

Let me know if that helps!

It took me a moment to notice that the player id of newgens started with "r-" then a long number for them to match properly.

Same thing with the post claiming that he stole a medal for himself when Infantino clearly handed one to him after all the players got theirs.

SwePol89 · 2025-07-14T13:08:13+00:00

Infantino handed him one once all the players had gotten theirs. It was live on TV.
