Oh Lacazette knows how to feign injury

 

Delighted Sanchez got booked. Little shit never shuts up

 

Arsenal are the luckiest wankers

 

Glad I took Lacazette out of my fantasy team.

 

Does fox sports stream CL games that aren't televised?

 

Yep, I'm pretty sure all of them are available on the website/app.

Edit: wait I lied. I only see 3 games each for Tuesday and Wednesday. FoxSportsGo is showing Dortmund-Real Madrid, Spartak-Liverpool, Spurs/Apoel, for tomorrow and CSKA-Man U, Sporting-Barca, and Atletico-Chelsea.

I could have sworn they did, maybe I don't have the right tv package for it.

 

Dortmund-Madrid, Barca-Sporting, Atleti-Chelsea are all very tasty match-ups.

 

I'm Hertha on my FM 16 save. Won the league third season and have won it all year but one since (now in 2025).

I honestly think we were a more complete team than both.

The main players I remember are:
Lehman
Lauren - Kolo - Campbell - Cole
Ljungberg - Viera - Silva - Pires
Henry - Bergkamp

 

I'm a little worried about Spurs today. Vertoghen and Dele are out due to suspensions. Eriksen is "ill" and unable to make the trip. Dembele and Wanyama also not making the trip. And of course Rose is still out. That's 6 of the 11 regular starters.

Lloris
Aurier - Sanchez - Toby - Davies
Dier - Winks
Sissoko - Kane - Son
Llorente

I'm assuming it'll look something like this. That's still a strong lineup but a little worried about playmaking ability. Son will have to step up.

 

I just cannot score. My defence is 2nd only to Bayern in goals conceded and I've managed to beat Wolfsburg, Schalke, Leverkusen, BMG, even Man Utd in the Europa League (all 1-0 lol), but all the shitty teams beat me via set pices or keeper mistakes and I can barely register a shot on target

 

Fast wingers/fullbacks with good crossing, and a striker with good off the ball, movement and heading and you're pretty much guaranteed goals. I operate with a number 10 too but that's more out of choice, they are really unimportant in that game.

 

Yeah I rarely, if ever, use anyone in the AMC position anymore. My team is fast as hell but Mitchell Weiser is my only good crosser (and my best player overall!). I'm having much more fun in a network game with my 2 bros, playing as playoff-level championship teams - I would fully recommend them to anyone who hasn't done one before, they are hilariously tense when you come round to playing each others teams.

 

I wanted to do this with a friend actually, how does it work exactly, do you have to play at the same time or?

 

Yeah, at the same time and you cannot advance until all players have clicked continue button (it flashes red to alert you though). You can watch each others games which is funny when you're playing the bigger teams - I was Derby playing a full-strength Everton team in the cup - my friends were "bantering" me in the "group chat" saying I'd get beat then demolished them 6-1 lol.

 

Many years ago I done a network game with several people, might have been nearly 10, managed to do one season in the Premier League. I won with Arsenal. This was back when things were simple though.

Currently playing 4-4-2 on FM, have a 4-3-3(ofsorts) formation if needed too. Fullbacks are overpowered on FM16 though, like ridiculously so.

 

On FM16 I set hard tackling on every fullback as a rule, just kick the shit out of them lol. On 17 i'm obsessed with trying to trigger counter attacks for some reason, so I always sit back and invite opp. fullbacks to attack then hit 'em with the counter. Found the near-perfect formation for it too; 4-1-4-1 on counter mentality with ZERO team/player instructions whatsoever.

 

Supposedly the USMNT/USWNT kit for 2018 leaked today...

 

I actually like those

I can't get my team to defend on 17 at all. I just try out score the other teams

 

reminds me of a pre match/training top.

I wonder if the same lazy nike designers of club kits do national team kits

 

Not sure what English team I want to watch, or which game will be the best. Starting with Liverpool.

 

my initial thought was "this looks like a t-shirt" but i don't mind it as a t-shirt. i may mind it as a kit?

 

Ramos should be off, Dortmund should have a penalty. Amazing.

 

Bale with a beauty.
