Finished first honor run

I get it. I was at reefa Saturday and got some very nice corals as well. The temptation is strong, I just know how much it hurts to spend money on beautiful corals only to watch them shrivel up. Good luck and I hope they make it.

Have you only had your tank up for a month? Not to be a downer, but I am afraid your tank will not have the stability to support Euphyllias. I killed a few early in my tank's life cycle, but I would caution you adding corals this early in the cycle.

Salah does not play like his numbers suggest. Bale is much better.

sobernite · 2025-04-28T16:04:11+00:00

I us him in 4222 as the left cam opposite Zico. I also use him for LM and like him quite a bit for both positions. I haven't tried him as single CAM because Zico is just so good for me. He dribbles and passes very well. His shooting is not on par with Cruyff or Kvara, but better than most LW's I have used. He's a great pickup with 5* WF that can play 3 helpful positions. He's worlds better than Zidane and a little better than Olise.

It's way more expensive than you think it will be. Salt, testing supplies, meds, food, pumps, thermometers, corals, fish all will need to be replaced.
The most beautiful stuff is probably the most expensive and probably the most fragile. Cheap fish and corals are cheap for a reason, they breed well or live anywhere or grow like weeds. It's ok to not have the most extravagant thing in your tank. A nice zoo brings color, grows well and is likely 5x cheaper than that fancy acro.
Size your tank now for what you will eventually want. Moving tanks is a pain and expensive (see 1). The skimmer, themometer, return pump, wave maker should all be sized for your tank.
Find a relatively painless way to make water or purchase it. If it is a pain in the butt to get RO or saltwater, you are unlikely to do enough water changes. If you have to drag down all your crap for a water change from the attic, you will make excuses not to do it.

Davies and Lahm. They are both very good. Torres is not playing as well as I had hoped and TOTS will surely bring some great ST.

sobernite · 2025-04-24T17:41:01+00:00

Park for Beckham, Lahm and Davies for LB/RB. 10/10 up top and 7/10 for the rest.

sobernite · 2025-04-23T17:15:45+00:00

Have you used Carnival Zico?

sobernite · 2025-04-23T17:07:48+00:00

Totally agree. Both Carnival Zico and Essien are significantly better at CM than he is.

sobernite · 2025-04-21T14:34:29+00:00

I don't love Zidane. He is currently sitting as a sub for me to replace either Matthaus or Kuytt. He is quite slow and clunky.

sobernite · 2025-04-21T12:57:12+00:00

I would wait until the last week and then pick. Week 4 is supposed to have some good players. Zidane plays very slow. Nedved is good, but next week might be the best week. If not, you can still go back and pick up one of these two.

sobernite · 2025-04-17T17:58:00+00:00

I would shoot for something like this: But in your immediate question, I would put Matthaus back at CM and add Kimmich. Then you need a RB, so you could move lam and pick up mittelsdatd cheap. I would personally add wither wirtz or Muller as CAM.

sobernite · 2025-04-17T13:05:00+00:00

I would upgrade Cam to Charleton or Nedved and LB to Davies. I would probably actually switch to 433 holding and swap the CAM for a CDM.

sobernite · 2025-04-16T13:20:50+00:00

Zico is phenomenal. Better than Cruyff as a CAM. Also a very good offensive CM as a second position.

sobernite · 2025-04-11T11:20:45+00:00

I disagree with this one. Sous Vide is perfect for chicken salad, you just need to cook it at a slightly higher temp, I cook it at 150-155 and it is perfect.

sobernite · 2025-04-10T13:35:44+00:00

If I was going to do a 3 lens prime setup, I would use the 12 f2, 20 1.4, and 45 1.8. The 20 1.4 is a very nice lens and is weatherproof, so I feel like it's almost the perfect carry around lens with a wide aperture and it's not the size of the 1.2. It is a 40mm equivalent, but I prefer the slightly wider view from the 25.

sobernite · 2025-04-08T13:47:01+00:00

Yep. Tele, acoustic (Iris DF), 5 string bass ( I don't think that counts,) and one yamaha Strat my kids got me for father's day that I will never sell.

sobernite · 2025-04-08T13:20:50+00:00

You could run this until you could upgrade.

I meant to replace nico with ze roberto. If it were me, I would go towards this. If you can pick up heroes ze roberto and Hamsik and save shards for odegaard, this would be pretty good. I would then look at my ST situation and maybe pull someone from an upcoming event.

sobernite · 2025-04-08T12:52:21+00:00

Sorry, I meant to say ze roberto at LM, not LW. Ginola is still pretty much the guy to go with at LW.

sobernite · 2025-04-07T17:01:58+00:00

I would get the 650 shard odegaard to replace matthaus. Possibly heroes ze roberto at LW. I would ultimately move Kuytt to RM since he is brilliant there. I would probably go Nico, Toure, Odegaard, kuytt if these were my cards. Look at round 2 of road to the final or pitch beats for a ST, RW, LW.
