[Milan2012]

Pioli still in quarantine, Zlatan injured - remember?

Right, who?s keeping them in check?

Probably just running scrimmages

Embolo with a crazy goal

Jup. However the game vs Spain must have been the first actual legit good game of Embolo in the Swiss NT. He may have finally turned his injury plagued career around.

 

[Milan10]

I dont know.. i mean, i dont like him as fullback... i think he should be playing up front.

Hmm. IMO wingers are a dime a dozen, but full backs that attack and defend as well as Theo are pretty rare.

 

[jawz10]

Asking Theo to play further up is like asking Paqueta to be a trequartista.

Theo's entire game revolves around him running at speed with the ball, forcing the opposing defender into making a decision, and once he gets going it is impossible to stop him without fouling. He's not an exceptionally quick player, but he's exceptionally fast. Meaning he needs a bit of space to get to full speed, and then it's game over. Playing him further up the pitch makes the playmaking runs he starts from behind the midfield negligible.

 

[Milan10]

What we really need is a fast CB capable of covering for Theo when he makes those forward runs. Most of the times when Romagnoli is getting roasted it’s covering for Theo.

His career will be very short only playing like this.

For sure Romagnoli needs to improve alot. I mean, Kjaer is in better shape than him... talking about Kjaer.

Its not. people have different interests.. and its up to them what they spend their money on

Yep, some people like spending money on hookers and cocaine, others on food and alcohol and some like to waste it on the same broken video game every year.

To each their own

I play FIFA because it?s the only game that has a pro clubs version and I?ve been playing with the same group of fucks since college.

He will not be as effective further up. Space will be more crowded and he can't "get going". Because as you said, he's very dangerous once full speed. He's like a tank. It's also evident that he's most danegorus later on in games...especially if we're up a goal and the other team is pushing up.

Anyway...do the defensive side of his game.....compared to what he was when he came a year ago, the difference is night and day. He's actually a good defender now. Still get caught out every now and then....but more so then anything, he's become a wall in 1v1 defending.

He's definitely a very well rounded LB now and not just an attacking force. His positioning (arguably the "worst" part of his game, yet so improved compared to last year) will only improve from here on out. I don't see a better LB in Italy at the moment. Yes, some will say geberally Alex Sandro when fit, but I don't know. I'd out them on the same level...yet Theo's improvement shows no signs of slowing down while Sandro has plateaued imo.

they also have different iq

Pro clubs was cool until like fifa 15, then it went to shit. After 2vs2 lobbies was abolished since fifa 11 i stopped caring for the game

 

[Qaas]

So people that play EA games have low IQ?

 

[Fabio]

Theo is the best lb in the league lol. People be tripping sometimes.

There is evidence for cocaine and alcohol not being good for ur health. I dont know what it has to do with videogames

That was my favorite version since like FIFA 10 lol.

Overall, it is a watered down, shittier game than it was back in the early to mid 2000s thanks to exclusive licensing and focusing almost exclusively on Ultimate Team.

Beats the hell out of laying in bed and reading like an old man, though, so we do what we have to do.

 

[Wild]

i think im the only one who doesnt like Theo.

Wtff

Theo can work as a LW but question would be why ?
We have tons of good LW & none LB but him.
I would get it if he was a RB.

Speaking for a drugs charity in 1996, the ailing legend Maradona came clean: "Drugs are everywhere and I do not want kids to take them. I have two girls and I thought it best to say this, a father's obligation... I was, am and always will be a drug addict."

Conditions, then, were hardly ideal for his comeback. Nevertheless, on April 21, 1997 and just two weeks after being rushed to hospital with hypertension, Maradona signed a new contract with Boca. The star was fresh from a spell in a Swiss rehab clinic and took to the pitch for the first time in July. He even hired a curious personal trainer to whip him back into shape: disgraced Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson, who had been found guilty of doping offences after winning gold at the 1988 Olympic Games.


"One day I turned up to training and Maradona was trying to install a treadmill in the Boca dressing room", Hector Vieira, who coached the Xeneize at the time recalled. "He had Ben Johnson, he had Austrian masseurs, a Belgian fitness instructor."

"They couldn't get the treadmill into the dressing room, they had to break down a door. And I came in with the whistle around my neck, I said, 'The only person missing here is Don King!'"

Johnson, meanwhile, who for a while was convinced he was the reincarnation of an Egyptian pharaoh and also acted as personal trainer for late Libyan dictator Muammar Gadaffi, enjoyed a warm, if slightly fearful, relationship with his charge. "Don't ever cross him", the ex-sprinter said to the Mail on Sunday . "He knows some serious people." For his part Diego had no regrets about the link-up: in his autobiography he referred to Johnson as, "The fastest man on earth - no matter what anyone says."

yep, he's not that good at dribbling and other stuff a LW does... it would be just a waste to move him, idk why people are still discussing this idea

His career will be very short only playing like this.

Not necessarily, he will adjust and develop other aspects of his game over time. Even Abate improved his defense over time and we saw it when he was played as CB.

In the world bro

 

[LocalHero80]

People not liking Theo, Romagnoli, Hauge etc.. why don't you support some other team?

 

[Fabio]

Top 3 for sure
