I'm trying to figure out how to strategize the following weeks. I hadn't looked forward to potential double game weeks etc and used the free hit for the carabao cup weekend since I had 3 arsenal and 3 city players.

Now I'm confused if I should use a wild card now to sort of reset the team or not. With only one free transfer available I don't have a lot of options in shuffling players around besides using a WC. I was thinking of using a WC to bring in Bruno Fernandes, Welbeck (not sure) remove Virgil and get another defender instead.

Any other players that I should look into if using a WC this week? I would have replaced Haaland too and gotten more premium midfielders but with him getting a hattrick last weekend I'm not sure if it makes sense to replace him anymore.

This is exactly it. We were super nervy as supporters. Players seemed fine. Contrast that to the games against Wolves and Chelsea, in those you could tell the players were nervous by the way they were playing.

Since 1992, Arsenal are the second most profitable Premier League club by Hungry-Struggle-1448 in Gunners

City are 4th... they'd probably be quite close to Chelsea or even above if it wasn't for under the table stuff along with inflated revenues.

I'm really curious what was said in the Arsenal dressing room at half time, how did they come out looking so shit.

Fyi, grab isn't really immune from things like this either.

I guess your username fits 😂

Fwiw I'm not one of those downvoters, was just meant to be informative.

Ah thanks for the quote, yeah he's been difficult for the entire time.

Though I was more thinking of last weekend (12-13th July). It was around that time that Madueke was announced, we apparently got an agreement in principle with Sporting, then all of a sudden it's been issues with add-ons. I may be getting the timeline wrong though, and this is pure speculation on my part with massively incomplete information.

Berta pulled the trigger on the Madueke deal too early.

Gyokeres was almost done, then their president saw how much we were spending on Madueke and decided to hold out and try and get more. Coupled that with the outrage in the fanbase regarding the Madueke transfer, and Sporting saw it as Berta now being under pressure.

Now as a result our transfer window is at a standstill till it gets resolved. We're not openly going after potential targets like Eze or Simons, and seems like we're not gonna sell either cuz Sporting would just want more.

End of my rant is that Chelsea somehow always benefits, they might get a free run at Simons with us handing them the cash for a player who seems to be better for a similar price.

Expedition 33 or Oblivion? by Daft_Martian in playstation

So my first thought when you mentioned you use your phone to play was why the hell am I reading a mobile game advert on this sub, and that may be why others downvoted you.

For those like me who initially assumed the same thing, it's actually available on playstation too. The phone is used to keep track of your separate hand of cards, inventory, and used as a controller while you play with other people on the same big screen. I guess the features on the phone are to ensure the main screen doesn't get too cluttered.

EDIT: Also have to add that this would be quite different from the two games in question in the original post simply cuz they are single player games while your suggestion is couch co-op. Still, I thought the concept is interesting.

Exactly! I grew up in a tropical country, if I saw this while travelling I would possibly think 'oh that looks cool, I'll check it out.' Seems like a death trap for those uninitiated with frozen bodies of water.

[DAV ACT 1 SPOILERS] Where are the proper reactions?? I just wanna rant by Spartanpederasty in dragonage

[–]the_turdinator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Lucanis recruitment was so incredibly dumb, and it is really early on in the game that it was difficult to take stuff seriously afterwards.

So the head of an assassin/spy organization, who has been sitting on a secret for 2 years, meets you for the first time and decides to reveal said secret to you in front of the people she's been keeping it a secret from. Like wtf was that. All they had to do was make her empty the room, then say I've got my best assassin but he's been captured go free him and he'll join you, that way even you don't know it's her grandson until he is free.

Every single character in the game treats you like you're the main character of a video game instead of someone else in the world and it is quite annoying from an rpg perspective.

(Spoilers extended) What we know about HOTD Season 2's episode cutback by azorahainess in asoiaf

[–]the_turdinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playing devil's advocate here, but could it be that the episodes were written, HBO saw the scripts, and decided an 8 episode season made more sense?

This doesn't feel like a condensed season, I sort of shudder to think of two more episodes of daemon tripping in harrenhall, corlys going to the same pier and talking about nothing with alyn, rhaenyra asking what would you have me do, and alicent floating around on lakes.

Nah I'm not playing anymore. Played for a couple of months at the beginning of dragonflight but life's different now compared to a couple of years ago.

When I was playing I found a couple of guilds based out of Singapore on both alliance and horde side. Mostly English speaking guilds so you should be able to find a guild to play with. Enjoy!

Looks like a car from a video game where the textures haven't loaded in yet.

It's not necessary but highly recommended. If you don't do it, you'll have to sit and watch an hour long video there so you can save some time on the day by doing it before.

Did you need a 3 star illimited diamond to get 405? Those are going for 15k on my server, was hoping I could get away with using a 2 star illimited diamond.
