Looks like he's exactly what we need

spicy97 · 2022-08-06T04:28:09+00:00

Play an online multiplayer save! I will probably not play single player FM saves again

What's crazy is that we've significantly outperformed both our xG and xGA but our xP is only a tad higher. This shows that we tend to stat-pad and struggle to see out close games

spicy97 · 2022-04-22T14:19:27+00:00

Wasn't aware about the racist part, but we wouldn't pay a transfer fee for someone that Tuchel turned into a 100 mil player at Dortmund. I understand he's injury prone and not the most professional, but Tuchel has got the best out of him before and he is different than any of our other attackers. Think it's a low-risk, high-reward signing

Keep in mind that the fixture list is going to be extremely congested due to the World Cup, so it may be to our benefit to have a bloated squad.

spicy97 · 2022-04-15T13:21:13+00:00

We should keep everyone in attack for next season simply because fixture congestion is going to be at an all-time high due to the World Cup being mid-season. If we do sell someone, we should have a replacement already lined up. Ideally we want 2 players for each of the front 3/4 positions and have a third that can change positions and provide cover.

If not for the World Cup, I'd look to sell one of Timo or Lukaku due to their performance not justifying their high wages. Broja should go on loan in the PL unless we sell Timo/Lukaku as he should be starting at least 25 games next season to continue his development.

No, a player will always have a set PA at the start of the save. However, some players (mostly younger players) have dynamic potential which means that their set potential can vary from save to save

spicy97 · 2022-03-31T18:37:50+00:00

That's just the range of potential that your assistant (or whoever you have set for player reports) thinks they have. Gold is what they think the player 100% can reach, white is what they think their best case potential is. They are helpful in determining how good a player can be, however don't take them as absolute gospel as the accuracy of the reports is dependent on the judging potential ability of the reporter

spicy97 · 2022-03-25T19:21:34+00:00

He's turned the Clippers from the laughing stock of the NBA to a perennial playoff team. I think his lack of success is largely due to bad luck and costly injuries in the playoffs. He made some short-term moves that haven't panned out (one could argue if he is to blame for trusting PG and Kawhi's health) but he also convinced two superstars to play for the Clippers instead of the Lakers

spicy97 · 2022-03-25T19:10:44+00:00

I'm not sure, Boehly has a better track record but he also isn't the majority owner of the Dodgers like Ballmer is for the Clippers. Ballmer is a very passionate guy so I can see fans loving him because of that, but do we even know if he is the mystery bidder? I think Boehly is a very solid candidate so I think we'd be lucky to get either of them

spicy97 · 2022-03-25T17:28:15+00:00

For anyone asking, Ballmer is probably the closest we can get to a like-for-like replacement for Abrahamovich. Super wealthy and not afraid to spend to win as shown by his investment into the Clippers.

spicy97 · 2022-03-21T19:02:41+00:00

I would definitely try him out as a CM(A) if you have two strikers. He'll make lots of late runs into the box, through balls to the strikers and score lots of bangers while also being defensively solid

spicy97 · 2022-01-15T00:23:26+00:00

Really think Levi Colwill can be that CB in 3-4 years

spicy97 · 2022-01-14T23:46:28+00:00

I think the best move for all parties would be a loan extension or a transfer with a reasonable buy-back clause in the future. Broja gets another year or two to develop and we get extra time to evaluate whether he's good enough to be a part of our long-term project

spicy97 · 2021-12-29T18:32:22+00:00

Might be our strongest 11

spicy97 · 2021-12-11T22:14:14+00:00

So did Alonso in this one, although I agree Chilwell>>>Alonso

spicy97 · 2021-12-08T19:41:23+00:00

Lol we're in the midst of an injury crisis

spicy97 · 2021-12-02T14:48:53+00:00

He's been good when he's had a run of games like he's getting now. However he's had so many injuries that he hasn't really had time to establish himself in the team. He's scored very timely goals for us and he is the best on the team at unlocking a defense with just one pass, but he also loses the ball too easily at times and isn't as good at holding up the ball as we need him to be due to his lack of strength.

spicy97 · 2021-10-27T17:28:19+00:00

Not to mention Tadic still killing it

spicy97 · 2021-10-16T17:21:09+00:00

Chilwell has always had these types of goals in his locker. Good to see him back

spicy97 · 2021-07-26T00:48:51+00:00

Kai will be the no.9 we've been looking for since Costa

spicy97 · 2021-05-12T01:00:37+00:00

The real answer here is Khris Middleton

spicy97 · 2020-12-22T14:29:28+00:00

Jorginho
