>>151948032
Autistic men + BPD women are a natural pairing, like redheaded men and black women. They're trying to regress back to the genetic mean.

Has there been any commentary in England about how the black players in the team are no longer from the west indies, but now you've got first generation african immigrants? Seems like a big change that happened almost overnight

It is also extremely funny that you go to a black player's wikipedia profile and the guys name is Awombo Magonbe and you think "I wonder what country he plays for" and it could basically be anything

Also there is a racialised hatred for Phil too. Lots of names like Hassan etc. going after him, not letting "tha brothas" shine.

Can't believe people would say such things about our Phil Foden. Time to put on my poppy and bend the knee to BLM.

>>151949577
A lot of the frustration towards Foden stems from the fact that he has had several opportunities to step up for England and he's never taken them. And when he does have a good game for City every so often, there are several calls from the media to disrupt the England team just to shoehorn him into the starting XI. It's perhaps the most blatant example of big club bias in the England national team, on merit alone he's probably England's 5th choice attacking midfielder (after Rodgers, Bellingham, Eze and Palmer).

>>151949651
BLM types are the ones shitting on him cause he isn't a "brotha"

>>151949719
He's a passenger at Man City. De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva have been the creative heart for Man City for most of his time at the club, and now that both have either left or gotten old he's hardly filling that void. Pep's had to change his tactics to "hoof it to Haaland" because Foden is unreliable.

>>151949741
He isn't, him and Rodri carried City to their 4-peat and this season he's basically playing as an 8 and doing very well but if you don't watch City you won't notice it

that is in fact the ball a good 2 metres away from the young english talent about to do a mortal kombat execution on his ankle btw

He hates this because Foden's extremely basic pass is obviously outshone by the shot/goal by Arsenal's Eze and he can't wank over the pass and how Foden MUST be in the team without acknowledging the goal
It's hilarious to see actually (it'll bother him all week too)

just thinking about that time Eze played in the same England team as Declan Shite, Bukrappo Stinka, and Piles Poois-Smelly and they got battered by Senegal

I have no idea what you're talking about, but my posts were about how so many of the comments were attacking Foden for being white because he had the temerity to assist Eze. It makes me think that the cohesiveness of a multiracial national football team is in question when this is the response to England scoring a goal.

You get arrested for talking to women in England

Well it's another day on /epl/ and would you believe it? The boogeyman I invented is having yet ANOTHER meltdown. Who could have predicted it? I'll keep you all updated on this development

Danny Welbeck hasn't played for England in 7 years, but if he was called into the squad again he'd be the 3rd highest goalscorer (16) after Kane (76) and Rashford (18), with Saka (14) being just behind him. Other than Raheem Sterling (20), no other England player in recent years has scored more than 10 goals. It's honestly embarrassing how badly reliant we are on Kane. Also weird to see people be overly critical of players like Rashford, Sterling and Saka when they have objectively been some of England's most consistent attackers.

>>151950476
Bet welbz has performed better than most of these

>>151950642
Van Hecke is better than Virgin Trans Dyke on current form

>>151951975
Kane's goals are questionable of late

A proper manager (clearly not Tuchel) would've took him to one side and told him to retire from England before he was pushed

>>151952003
Who's gonna play there instead? Ollie fucking Shitkins?

>>151952003
awful post

>>151952003
If his recent goals are questionable, who has been scoring the important ones then? Because no-one else in the current squad comes close to him. And he still has 23 more goals for England than the next highest all-time top scorer, Rooney, whose goals are so questionable that there's a copypasta about it.

The amount of club-based shitflinging that goes on around the England national team is just embarrassing. We are not a serious football nation.

why wont he follow orders? why does he not track back?

>>151952732

>The EFL is to oppose radical proposals from League One clubs to introduce a £4.7m salary cap and a luxury tax for clubs that overspend.

>Eighteen League One clubs wrote to the EFL chair, Rick Parry, this month advocating a fixed squad salary allowance, which they argue is required to get spending under control in a division where the median loss among 24 clubs last season was £5.2m.

>The clubs, led by Peterborough and Reading, also proposed a 100% tax on every penny of overspending above the cap, creating a fund that would be redistributed to clubs who complied. Luxury taxes are commonplace in American sport, with Major League Baseball and the NBA using them to enforce salary caps.

About when he left City.
Feels crazy to think it's been 3 years since he left.

>>151953968
He's still on Chelsea's books somehow. Remember when they tried to offload him to Arsenal

Wayne Rooney was a mercurial talent who could have delivered strongly for England but that Scotsman ruined him.

Winston Bogarde really led the way for modern footballers.
Sterling makes me want a salary cap put in place.

>>151953981
>He's still on Chelsea's books somehow
On a shit load of money as well

>Remember when they tried to offload him to Arsenal
That was weird. Coincidentally Saka ended up being injured for months that season (last season?) iirc but I don't think Sterlel made any impact whatsoever even then.

England U21 still drawing 0-0 with Republic of Ireland U21 in U21 Euro Qualifying groups. England are currently second so need to win this.

>>151954030
why don't Chelsea just stop paying him? everybody was happy with Isak to just stop playing for Newcastle

Because work permit rules have made me taking my tinpot club to the PL title impossible. You can no longer go and sign free agents who are like 34 but are two leagues higher level than your team so you end up signing a striker who bangs in 50 goals for you and gets you promotion twice in a row. This is due to Brexit. Sure you can 'cheat' by finding players who will join but won't get a work permit by then adding English as a second nationality (or what used to work was changing their nationality to English, signing them and when you are ready to click 'Accept' to sign them, change them back to the old nationality, so when they're signed the game considers them as having successfully got a work permit). And to make matters worse, the game has EXPANDED work permits. Now work permits are not permanent for players, so if you sign X player for 5 years, it is possible their work permit won't get renewed. In the Arsenal Women's game, they have the best RB in the world in Fox, but she's Australian, so she immediately rejects contracts because 'she is unsure she'll get a work permit' so I nearly lost her but she managed to get a work permit at the end of the season.

It's fucking grim. They should add the ability to buy nationality for players. Since in the UK if you spend £2.5m you can buy British citizenship without needing to do anything. Only big clubs could do that and they're unlikely to be signing people who won't get work permits but it's an idea.

Anyway that's the reason. You're stuck looking at Home Nation players and doing loan deals which really sucks at quick promotion.

i think if you're a liverpool fan you have to be really encouraged at wirtz' performance tonight. some brilliant off-ball runs to open up the space for his less gifted teammates. frank lampard was the king of arriving late, but wirtz does it one better and arrives very late

Tbf I’m on the vastly superior FM17 so I don’t need to deal with that. Also my local is a fairly big club by Norwegian standards (drew 0-0 with Bologna in EL last week btw), so the grind isn’t as tedious as what yours would be.

Still, I would never feel compelled to start a female footie save even if I was on the latest version. I am going to guess the attributes are just as stupid as the way FIFA did them and the best females have the same attributes as the best males? If so immersion is already broken, and that’s forgetting you have to pretend to be invested in wahmen football in the first place for it to be immersive from the get go.

Just had a BRAND NEW tactical suggestion - passing the ball covers as much or more distance while using as much or even less energy compared to having one defender dribble the ball from his own box.

this isnt 1999 you can update old games forever

>>151955934
Probably is someone who does it. At least for however many years and then moves on to a different one.
I don't really give a crud myself because I just use fake names or start 15 years in the future. So much more sovl doing it that way.

>>151955998
if some modder is updating the database every year then yeah maybe
don't think anyone is updating fm10 or some shit for 2025-26 rosters. fm24 maybe yeah cause the new release is so bad

the problem with fm is it's too easy you basically cannot lose and also like barely 3 or 4 years into any save you start seeing really stupid shit because the game can't handle that many moving parts in a realistic way

>moderately successful footballing career
Paul McGrath was one of the best centre backs the prem has ever seen
t. older than all of you

>>151956466
Mike should focus on longevity instead of women's teams, faggots, and hot dog vans. He won't obviously because then no one would buy the next iteration which is just like the previous one with updated rosters and all of the casuals would cry their fucking eyes out if there was any kind of challenge to it.
G-d I fucking hate people so much.

>tfw you mange to pick up Thiago Maia before anyone else

>>151956630
Well yes he won three cups but in my book that's moderately successful.
Nwankwo Kanu had a successful career but you're going to get someone who claim he wasn't as successful as Paul McGrath.

>>151957206
Trophies are one thing but he was the best player on the pitch more often than not. Eye test says he was elite.
He was also an alcoholic with no knees and good strikers still couldn't get out of his pocket.

problem with FM, like any other game, is that when we were younger it was fun and you could just kinda do whatever and it was great, but now it's all so minmaxxed that it sucks the fun away
and by that i mean you learn that only like 2-3 attributes matter, or this formation is so broken that it makes all the others worthless, etc.
and yes i know the counter to that is "well don't look up the minmax" but you get exposed to it eventually on twitter or here on 4chan or youtube or whatever and it makes it all boring. and you can try to not use the meta strategy but in your head you know, well the game engine is built around XYZ so you're kinda fucked if you don't do XYZ and it makes it boring

i don't wanna dogpile wirtz but that performance vs city was generationally bad, really fucking bad advertisement for the bundesliga
