Interesting to see the difference in managerial styles. One draws a brain and a heart holding hands, another talks about his micropenis. Wonder if Football Manager can work this tactical nuance into their game.

Our whole system collapses when Sambi plays, and as the only fit backup for Partey and Xhaka, he is probably going to play a lot more than we would like.

Who knows how things shake out, but 75 million to insure against collapse in a rare year you’ve got a genuine chance to win the title doesn’t seem so bad. It’s one of those where you’re paying a 30m tax because of circumstances and it’s a gamble but I wouldn’t hate it

Just Chamber posted:Arsenal are just going to end up panic buying Tielemens for stupid money on Tuesday aren't they? I honestly would be more okay paying overs for Tielemens since he has a good bit more Premier League experience and even if he’s not Partey cover, “Granit Xhaka, marauding 8” still gives me some worry. Though is it as much as “Granit Xhaka, holding 6”?

i’ve not had to know the meaning of any number other than 1, 9 and 10 until this season. what the heck is a 6 or 8. aren’t they just midfielder numbers. have they always had a standard meaning or is this just more jargon the FM generation is trying to make a thing.

6 is what wrong people call defensive midfielders (who should really be 4) and 8 is your more offensive type

6-8-10 are the midfield three in a 4-3-3, Partey would be the 6, xhaka the 8, Ødegaard the 10

IMO Xhaka is closer to a 9. And if anyone on the team is a 10, it’s Holding. E: nm I misunderstood wicka fucked around with this message at 00:26 on Jan 31, 2023 |

iirc it's all a holdover from the days when a football club would own fourteen shirts and you would get given one based on what position you were playing that day, and then give it back at the end of the game even then I'm pretty sure it was just by convention that your wingers get 7 and 11 and so forth

Dudley posted:Yeah, in a 4-4-2 it was 4 was a DM in England, I think, so I guess that makes 6 the other CB? Though the numbers are different in other countries iirc, which makes the whole thing very confusing. The numbering comes from the old pyramid formation (as in, inverting the pyramid). 1-11 was the order they lined up in and that changed over time.
