2 seperate worlds, 2 0-0 results, both see my GK getting MOM and both matches vs KL.... That is not a coincidence.

I talked about that before years back. Who can explain it

No perfect season in the league either. Atletico beats Bayern 1-0. Gongrats Liam.

edit: Snapped my longest ever undefeated streak as well, 28 games.

Should reach 90 in about 3 years time if he's lucky.

Losing the will with these ratings. The game is an absolute mess and makes you really think about wheter it's worth the kind of effort people put in

Holy shit they've absolutely decimated Bayern's squad. Not sure any of those drops are particularly harsh either. Maybe Ribery could've stayed at 90. Bit disappointed Renato didn't get bumped to 89 but maybe it's still a bit early for that. Really glad he's doing well this season, he's a top talent.

Big game for the kid Palacios tonight in possibly the biggest club final of all time. Key part of the first river goal that got them back in the game, and then later draws the foul that gets Barrios sent off, thus handing control of the game to River. Games don't come bigger than that, and the kid showed up. Bernabeu bound

Biggest club final of all time FFS

It wasn't even the biggest in 2018. No doubt loads of pressure on the game after all that's happened though, Palacios has done well.

I've noticed this before as well, very strange. Must be something to do with the game algorithm, but even then that explanation doesn't account for us having different squads in different worlds etc.

Just the speed of it. It's taken forever. And half the time you're left wondering if they've skipped a team altogether. It's a scheduled calendar ratings review yet the changes are dished out in a haphazard way

Liverpool back in the European Cup final after 11 years, against Real Madrid. 17 times European champions between them (before the final).

I get where you're coming from... the intrigue of Boca vs. River made me watch it when I wouldn't have otherwise. And the game getting called off took it up another notch. But noone outside South America really cares about the Libertadores any more (think it was Gremio that won it last season? Couldn't tell you who won it two years ago). If emotion, pride & spirit are your criteria then AEK vs. PAOK in the final of the Greek Cup should also be up there

Yeah, ridiculous how they just take random pauses. They do the first ten Bundesliga teams, then take a day or two off to give random rises to kids playing in the Greek second division. Infuriating.

Derby final. Can't even stomach the thought of facing United in a european cup final for example. Just imagine that. Can't even imagine how these two were going about their business living on top of each other in the same city. The stakes were huge. Rarely come bigger

The one problem with rising twice a year is if a team is not on great form going into the ratings, that can go against certain players. Guilty by association type of thing.

I'm waiting on a couple Frankfurt players. Now i refuse to believe they're not gonna rise Jovic and Ndicka, and hoping Haller but they've done a couple frankfurt players today, and even done one yesterday. But now they've moved onto Monchengladbach who have been second in the bundesliga for a couple weeks now.

Rodri and Guendouzi. LM's offer, not mine. Good deal for both of us I think.

Surprised you sold Sangare for cash in this world. Thought you rated him which is why I included him in the offer in the other world. Trade chips are more valuable in that world however and my team is different there.

RK7 enquired about Sangare a little while ago. We couldn't work out a deal that worked for both of us, so I told him he could have him for cash if he gave me Gravenberch for cash in the other world.

Knowing what I know now.... maybe I should've kept Sangare and offered him to you along with Gedson for Frenkie

Nice trade though

How the tables turn!

Have the opposite problem at PSV at the moment, holding on to about 5 players that are owed to other clubs. Waiting for their TBs to expire. Gonna be fun re-building my youth team almost from scratch.

What's interesting though is that despite trading away most of my kids, noone's even enquired about the brightest jewell in my youth team....

You'll build it back up in no time. Good fun to be had. In no time i've nailed down potentially the future of Spains, Italys and Brazils midfield in Rodri, Barella and Arthur, and let the future of the dutch midfield Frenkie, who i just signed! go in the meantime! oh and let Barella go to begin with!
Fun and games. I'd like to say i'll sit on those trio but who knows. This Tonali kid better be good

Nope. But sure we'll raise Plea and Thorgen Hazard to 90 even though Haller has clocked up more goals and assists than both of them and is also doing it on the uefa cup front
