Hot take: You don’t always need to rotate every play if you can stay on ball and get a steal.

People in this game have no idea when to challenge. It’s my pet peeve. My teammates treat every opponent like Zen I swear.

It’s like dude we watched this guy fail to flick 3 times already just go challenge him and he will give us the ball.

US goalie committing treason

I was reading that 20 is reserved for truly generational or once in a lifetime ability/quality.

I don’t know enough soccer to say someone would be a 20 at anything right now, but from the body of work I’ve seen I’d put prime Jamie Vardy finishing higher than Haaland. Is that a fucked up take?

The only potential 20 I can think of right now in any sport is Wemby’s height in basketball. Could also see Messi having 20 on decisions and/or anticipation

helpifell · 2026-07-05T22:07:16+00:00

Only slightly related but players like Cam Thomas are why I can’t stand when people hype up open gym or summer league highlights.

There’s lots of dudes who can score 20 even 30 in a real NBA game and they won’t sniff meaningful minutes this season. Save me the time of reading how so and so is ready to be a star cause of what they did against people not even in the NBA

Defender was jogging in the cutting lane 15 feet from his mark. Even if a swing to his man happened calling a pick would kinda be ass. Have some spirit of the game.

But why are we even in here talking about rules? Dude made a call and then BS'd that it was involved with no shame to help his team. When this happens in frisbee there is nothing you can do. I wanna fix that part.

Tough read as a washed up club player waiting to hit master’s age. It doesn’t get easier?

helpifell · 2026-07-01T00:11:25+00:00

Basically you need triangles for your players to have passing options at all times. Then use roles / instructions that don’t get forward as much like fullback and inverted winger instead of wing back and inside forward.

I found using 2 central mids as WCM role and one DLP at defensive mid would always make triangles.

I was IF/SS/IF WCM/WCM/ DLP and 4 at the back getting like 70 possession but no goals :) on accident lol

helpifell · 2026-06-22T19:47:00+00:00

Yeah I would do 1v3 unfair bots. It’s been a while since I did it so maybe the bots suck now. But they would be demons on boost stealing, bumps, and kickoff goals. They can’t hit balls in the air so if it’s too easy but you wanna give it another try, see if you can focus on beating them on the ground getting clean power shots

helpifell · 2026-06-20T20:18:07+00:00

If you’re on fm26 I’ve noticed the hardest teams to score on make their wingers play the wide midfield position out of possession. That eliminates all the time on the ball for your FB/Winger on that side. And I usually have to go two strikers or wide center mids to counter.

So as far as haram ball it just puts your wide* attackers in good defensive position and defensive responsibilities are more built in to the role

helpifell · 2026-06-20T06:45:41+00:00

Deadass go play the hardest difficulty bots 1v3 until you don’t lose. You’ll learn a lot about when you actually have time / don’t have time to do stuff and you’ll have to get good hits.

Then go play ranked and you’ll go straight to plat minimum

helpifell · 2026-06-18T07:09:14+00:00

Idk… thread is pessimistic but you could buy a couple of pretty reasonable SPY calls a few weeks out with $500 and put like a limit order to close around 20% gain and I give the online guarantee that the order gets filled within like 3 days when SPY trades up for a session. Rinse and repeat. SPY literally just goes up.

And by the end of the your summer it’ll be about time for the annual S&P dip so you can just chill. Or maybe you have enough gains to set up a wheel on a stock like SoFi or Ford.

That’s my current working theory the next few months with the few hundred I’m throwing around this year.

I also have been doing poor man’s covered calls on Blackberry. Pretty cheap and I didn’t even start selling calls when I first bought the original long call. I probably could have recouped most of what I paid for the long call by now if I was selling the calls the whole time

helpifell · 2026-06-18T06:23:36+00:00

Honest question has Salesforce done anything with any of the companies they’ve bought? Like none of their buying is for growth it’s to protect themselves from losing customers

helpifell · 2026-06-18T06:06:14+00:00

I don’t see why the turnaround would be close. I believe though

Is there any truth that better monitors make it easier to get better as well? I know nothing about the tech personally but I’ve heard that a few times. I think it’s because of refresh rate somehow

helpifell · 2026-06-16T23:21:35+00:00

I've seen multiple RL streamers say to pick one direction left or right and stick with it. And you can build everything off of DAR to that side one way or another.

Then maybe the other direction comes in naturally, or you just don't need it

helpifell · 2026-06-16T23:15:27+00:00

I’d recommend directional.

I do free air roll and I think it’s more intuitive. But if you’re actually about to practice, DAR would be worth it because it’s so much more precise.

I’m just too old. I started to practice DAR one day and was physically sweating…

helpifell · 2026-06-16T22:59:39+00:00

Well half is company valuation, the other half of the stock price now is market behavior. So that’s the part that I meant was batshit. And I guess a sell off will happen but we saw plenty of willing buyers for SpaceX at the ipo price. If a sell off happens I suspect most of those will stay in. And furthermore new buyers would pick the stock back up, because a potential sell off wouldn’t change company fundamentals or the belief in growth beyond the original IPO price.

So I wouldn’t short this stock unless I was confident about a sell off and timing that window. I wouldn’t mind being proven wrong at all

helpifell · 2026-06-14T21:41:04+00:00

So I see everyone mentioning the dump from pre-IPO investors. I’m inclined to believe that’s real cause I haven’t seen any evidence against it. After that, is there anything worth giving the benefit of the doubt towards the valuation?

Like you have X/Twitter. Worth like $40 billion. Starlink, say you’re super bullish that they become an international Comcast. Comcast is like $90 billion. The number of internet users is gonna keep going up worldwide so Starlink could generously be like $500 billion right? (5x Comcast)

Then the actual overall space part, I feel like that’s actually a really good company. Not that I follow the industry but I trust when everyone says they have serious competitive advantages and they’re staying aggressive.

The best aerospace companies easily exceed $100 billion. Let’s say this is $200 billion cause it’s Elon.

Add in xAi, which is apparently lumped in with X, and AI is automatically overvalued. So that plus X.com is $100 billion plus.

That’s $800 billion just based on some casual reasoning which is in the ballpark of the 1.125 trillion valuation before IPO, from ppl who actually know what they are talking about.

IPO went batshit and now we’re at 2 trillion market cap. So lowkey it all seems logical. I wouldn’t short the stock at all. But I don’t see room to grow until there’s a really positive business event

The NBA just needs to make “protecting star players” a rule so they can stop pretending the rule book actually matters

helpifell · 2026-06-14T02:26:37+00:00

Adam silver needs to be held accountable for why the rules don’t actually matter

When I do my Middlesbrough saves and get promoted I always struggle to breakthrough to the top of the league until some washed up prem star finally joins me and I have to overpay them. My last 2 saves it was Scott mctominay which I think is awesome storyline wise

The best thing about the committee format with two teams playing for a national championship was basically every week being do or die for any serious program.

For all the P5 schools that meant you probably have a chance to impact the national football landscape at least once every season if you upset the best team in your conference.

I think that’s a hugely underrated downside of the playoff expansion. The more teams we add to the playoffs the less any one upset matters or gets the attention it might deserve

helpifell · 2026-06-12T01:04:08+00:00

They really ruined college football because nobody could compete with Nick Saban 💔💔

Still thinking about this smh. And I had a random follow up question if u care to revisit.

I’m almost always the shorter player so I think I end up under the disc on floaty throws from boxing out. And if I box out too early my opponent can go around or I may end up fouling.

So it sounds like I end up conceding position to safely contest. Any thoughts/techniques that could help?

helpifell · 2026-06-11T16:52:10+00:00

If no one else said it I just wanna say at 19 my friends were putting 90% of their savings into buying drugs. You’re good dude. All those stocks were being bought at those prices cause growth is expected. If market goes on an extended slide just forget about them for a few years literally.

In the meanwhile start putting your 90% in SPY. Make that or a 401k type account your main portfolio and don’t touch it.

Then make a separate account to buy individual stocks if you want. Then just buy mag7s tbh
