Previous team was French/Ligue 1/PL hybrid utilising kante and pogba as the links between the 2, just didn't enjoy playing with them as much. Vards will be the next to go, bringing in mane up top and son as LF. I find half the fun in building new teams, I stop fut champs at rank 5 every week with the first totw pack anyway which I comfortably achieve with a poorer team than this, I'd rather enjoy playing with the team

Anybody got any recommendations to improve this team atm? Got around 250k to spend

Just pulled Mid Maldini from my SBC pack, cost me 160k and fodder for a 1.6m cb 😎

Signing players with a that name ending... just an 'ic' we need to scratch I suppose 😉

Ah well, maybe they had permission, we've not got a game this weekend, and he could've given them permission. If not he'll have a word with them and deal with accordingly. Can sadly just see this spiralling into a hounding of maddison as most threads on him do and it's pointless

I'd have Perez in the number 10 role ahead of KDH atm, KDH has plenty of energy and is happy to spray it around, but hasn't been outstanding so far and reminds me of more of a Drinkwater than a Maddison. Ayo has put in some good performances at 10 recently, seems to enjoy Soton and has that technical ability to operate in that hole in behind the 2 strikers. All else fails we have Madders to turn to if its not working, but I could still see Rodgers starting him for this game

I honestly think people are viewing what I said with too much of a tribalistic view. I'm a student studying the final year of a masters degree in automotive engineering, I aspire to work in F1, the sport is the pinnacle for me, no one team or one driver. I'm personally a big admirer of Seb, think he's a pretty down to earth guy who keeps himself generally out the limelight, as much as is expected of a 'celebrity'. My comments were purely to do with the sport, if the title is less than a 5 point swing people will talk about that event, and it'll be a great shame that the most exciting season we've had at the front in a while can even be related to something I think was entirely avoidable and completely against the principles of the sport. Respect everyone's opinion on it, but I can't see any circumstance where those 2 laps were the right thing to do, for fans, for teams and drivers with vested interest, or for the image of the sport in general.

Bad luck and politics are different. If the world Cup gets cancelled, do we give the Jules Rimet to the team who got the most points in qualifying? Tokyo Olympics got delayed due to covid, should we just base the gold medal winner on who performed the best in Olympic trials, or diamond league events that got them to the Olympics in the first place? They'd be purely political decisions, and widely ridiculed too. Qualifying doesn't earn you points, it earns you the right to be at the front of the grid for the race. If, by your logic, the hot lap in qualifying constitutes a fair event, I don't see why we don't just make the sport a time trial in which fastest lap earns you full points. Again, I reiterate my point, Spa didn't decide the championship, the whole season does. However, in the event there is a fewer than 5 point swing, the 5 point difference from Spa, that shouldn't have existed, would be a major determining factor. If the fair and sporting thing to do, particularly for someone like me who saved money to go and watch the event, was decided, and the race was null and void or rerun, the result had every potential to be different, or remain exactly the same. But at least then it would be as the sport is designed, and how the championship is decided every year, who accumulated the most points in racing

For sure Max deserves the title lead right now, for 3/4 of the season so far he's been by far the best driver. But essentially they're both sporting incidents, where events on the track dictated the direction of the race weekend. You also forget Hamilton missed out on a probably minimum of 18 points because of the magic brake button, again a sporting incident. Likewise Hamilton and Max at Silverstone and Monza, both incidents where one driver was primarily at fault resulting in large point losses. My issue with Spa is it wasn't a race. It wasn't a sporting issue with controversy surrounding it. It was entirely political - i don't believe politically driven for one driver ahead of another either - but politically driven to stage a complete non event. As I said that weekend cost me hundreds of pounds, I haven't seen a penny back, despite not getting the main thing I payed for. To your overall point, I don't believe Spa decided the championship, there's been many weekends before and after to accumulate points. But, if there is a difference of fewer than 5 points, the deciding factor in who is champion this year can be directly related to the points that never should've been gained in Belgium. I'd hope you'd agree, as an F1 fan, not a follower of an individual driver, that the circus we saw at Spa wasn't sporting or right, and it does have the potential to heavily impact on the final result of an otherwise good season

And we're racing at Jeddah before that. Squares also have 4 sides if you fancy some other correct, but completely irrelevant facts 😂

Would be gutting if Spa comes to decide the championship, I spent hundreds of pounds for that wet wet weekend and all they did was roll round for 2 laps behind a safety car. Any gap less than 5 points in Verstappen's favour will be a mighty shame, and more importantly, a pretty questionable way of deciding a great championship fight

Think a 5 year contract would be a ludicrous risk right now, 2/3 years would be much more sensible, but I can understand Ricardo wanting assurances and trying to stretch that to 4 years. Despite thinking 5 years is too long I can't help but be happy with it, I love Ricardo, I'm sure he's still got it in him to perform to his previous levels and my god do we need it

She was there straight after the game and got a pic with him, I'd know that fave anywhere 😂 assume he went straight from the game

I'm more disappointed in him for picking to go when I wasn't there 😂 how am I supposed to completely embarrass myself proclaiming my love for him otherwise??

Well, our Youri is enjoying his day off at least, girlfriend got a picture with him earlier at 360 play 😂 probably trying to avoid Brendan ball, and I can't blame him

I played for Electricity Sports CC for a few years, they get shadows and glare from the existing blocks as it is, the new residential flats will be no issue, I'd bet they're just after a nice cash sum, greedy fvckers

I saw an identical article earlier... my dream is to play for Marseille! 🤔 slow day clearly

Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting he wasn't willing to work hard - by environment and learning i mean Rodgers explanation of a lack of tactical adaptation to fit the role he was required to, as you alluded to in your original post. It was likely a different system he was put in, and if he wants to succeed everywhere he goes then adapting and learning that role will be crucial

Pretty fair and balanced, its not black and white that he's amazing or sh*t. He's clearly a very talented footballer to play at the levels most players, 99.9%, could only ever dream of, but fundamentally Cengiz and Leicester didn't work together for hundreds of reasons you could speculate. I wish it could've worked out as he's got that flair and maverick playstyle we haven't seen since Riyad left, and I hope he rips it up abroad, but if the manager says he isn't working, then that's that and he can either learn and develop from that or continue as he is in a more suitable environment for him

More concerned by the monstrosity that was the pre match music 😂 sounded like I'd tied 2 tin cans to a piece of string and placed one end against a jet engine

I'm certainly not going to judge him on a tough 30 minutes on his debut after no pre season. On this one performance he did look suspect aerially, but he was plonked in the middle of a complete makeshift back 3 nobody would ever expect, let alone a guy who's probably still learning his team mates names, and his lack of comfort and confidence in his role probably played a role in that. What I will say though is despite a couple of shaky moments, he seemed driven and committed to atone for any mistakes and made a couple of great blocks putting his body on the line. I'll read alot more into his attitude and commitment on debut than any technical performance today, and I can't really fault him there

21, had my first jab on 4th June during the big Leicester push for walk in vaccinations. 5th July I get the text for my second jab to be booked at my GP, by the 7th July I'd had both vaccinations as did a lad I know my age at the same GP, no queue jumping just clearly the GP's circumstances

Everyone having a fit over the fans, I can confirm there was a lul around the half hour mark but roars when villa scored and plenty of noise

Passed up on Wembley as would've been alone, but in for this one with my mum and brother 🎉

Problem is their ID won't match the ticket name - I want to get a ticket for my dad in my mums name but assume I can't
