Timber by Ke$ha came on a playlist while I was driving and it made me sad all over again...

It WAS going down.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Convinced that he's gonna be amazing for us. Definitely not just cuz I signed him on the same Arsenal save I signed Fabio Vieira in my first FM save...

[–] ironeaglebird@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Who else did you sign in that save? Haha

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Federico Dimarco is the only one I find still interesting, cuz we need another defender; though IRL we obviously went and signed Zinchenko instead and changed up our tactic. I don't think we'll be signing Ruben Loftus-Cheek any time soon XD though I wouldn't mind signing Youssoufa Moukoko (though hopefully less than the 92m I signed him for).

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Checking the save cuz it's been a while, I signed Ruben Loftus-Cheek and then sold him on to Palace for profit, same for Kyle Walker-Peters, and Strahinja Pavlovic of Monaco (who now is at Salzburg irl), and Daniele Rugani of Juventus. (and Sekou Mara, whom I lost money on cuz no one would buy for me and he didn't reach his potential)

Then Andre Onana on a free, who iirc was unhappy with doing basically funnily what Raya is doing now (having two really good goalkeepers fight it out) and moved to Newcastle for 50m, Ilias Akhomach of Barcelona (who is now irl at Villarreal) who went to Bayern after two and a half seasons, Martin Satriano from Inter still at the club as of 2030 when I stopped playing the save (now irl on loan at Brest), Matteo Gabbia from Milan whom I sold to Barca after two seasons for profit (irl now also at Villarreal but on loan).

Then DCL, who I sold at a 30m loss after a good 5 seasons, our boy Vieira, Federico Dimarco as I mentioned, who ended up being the most stupidly good deal ever as Juventus signed him on loan + obligation for like 120m as my backup LB behind KT, and Mohamed-Ali Cho from Angers whom I ended up selling to RM for profit and irl now plays at Sociedad

After that is when regens started being meaningful but I did sign Tyler Adams & Weston McKennie (cuz the latter wanted a suitable signing to settle and I didn't know how promises worked; ironically the former was more useful due to his versatility), Leonidas Stergiou who I sold for profit after being a squad player for a while, Jarrad Branthwaite who I don't remember signing but apparently he went back on loan to Everton and then sold to Sevilla at a loss having never played for me, América's Richard Sanchéz who I sold to Shakhtar at a profit

and at last Moukoko, one of my last real signings (though I did trade Adams and money for Diogo Costa).

I bet we don't see like, anyone else from this list sign for us irl lol

Just think of how good all the like a new signing memes are going to be though

[–] hangonasecond@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Edu forgot that he likes his fullbacks slow cooked

[–] ironeaglebird@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Whoa that Rice guy is pretty good for England. We should look into signing him.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I keep expecting him to be wearing the 41

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Gabriel came off with a knock...

I'm just praying no one else gets anything this interlull 🙏🏼

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

for fucks sake. if we have to play reuell walters or Cedric against Manchester City...

[–] I_am_the_grass@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'm expecting more injuries XD

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How does North Macedonia keep doing it

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Italy's bogey team

[–] ironeaglebird@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wonder if West Ham could've gotten the best out of Maguire if that transfer had happened. Maybe he would have been happy in a stable and non toxic environment.

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

He's honestly not bad for country, he really does need a team that he fits in. Tbh, if Leicester comes back up, I could see him going back to them if not West Ham

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Lmao two German guys rooting for Japan in the stands

[–] I_am_the_grass@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wow Cooney-Cross to United.. What a signing for them.

[–] Aesecakes@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago
[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why the fuck is Nketiah not even on the bench

Pls no injury

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He'll probably feature in the friendly instead 🙃

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Tbf, scoring against Scotland would be nice

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lavia injured apparently. Chelsea are finally feeling a glimpse of what we felt all these years lol

[–] Matt_Sams_314@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Except with unlimited money to replenish their squad, rather than playing Squillaci and Cygan

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

love that for him even though I'm annoyed as an England fan haha

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

England doesn't really need this game lol, we'll let it slide.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Eh, Italy's played barely any games yet, I don't wanna say anything until we're actually through

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Saka nooo that was so good shoulda gone in

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I know it's just a friendly but Japan looks quite sharp and Germany looks quite shite

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It's just amazing that Asano is on but Kyogo isn't

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I really hope Mikel is watching this game

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Forgive me but I'm so so happy for Tomiyasu, what a performance! Can we technically play him at CB?

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Lmaooooo Germany

Blue Lock is not a conspiracy theory

[–] HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Anyone wanna sum up Takehiro vs Kai for me? Like how and where they played?

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I saw someone say Tomi was all over Kai like a rash....and yes that's basically it.

But man Tomiyasu was a brick wall today and had a couple of good tackles. Probably the best I've seen from him in a while

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I don't know whether or not to laugh or cry the way Tomi is just shutting Kai down. What a game he's having.

[–] HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Reiss could have played alongside Osimhen if he'd chosen to play for Nigeria.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Or give it a bit and he'll play alongside Saka and Nketiah... :)

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It's gonna be Tomi v Havertz in a bit

[–] Never_Sm1le@lemdro.id 1 points 1 year ago

I have spend more time at MU communities given their situation is so funny right now. Losing to us add fuels to an already inferno MU.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Surprised that's walker's first tbh

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Today is really just not my day for football

[–] ironeaglebird@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pretty disappointed there's no Gunners to watch on the USMNT now.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Once a gunner, forever a gunner.

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Fucking hell Tomi that was an awesome tackle on Sane
