    I can see our midfield there (enzo-de paul-alexis) but also can see Palacios, I wish he played more for us instead of Paredes

    Bro didn’t want to include any Uruguayan midfielder, having Valverde, Ugarte and Bentancur to choose

    Can easily see why Chelsea is up there with most chances created in the league with 2 of their players near top right. Same with Atletico who suddenly don’t have scoring problems anymore.

    João Neves… Benfica has a fucking gem in him. Hope he develops as expected, what a player.

    Kokçu seems more and more as a waste of money. The talent is there, seems like he just doesn’t fit the system (whatever system we have - we are playing like shit).

      I watch most of the games and it makes sense. Saul usually drops deep to cover or makes good forward runs leaving Koke with more time on the ball or space and a target. RdP does the same but he usually comes short. Atletico’s wide wingbacks exploiting the space in behind are invaluable for it.

      I’m not a fan of Koke as a 6 since he’s just not a 6 and is lacking in many aspects but it’s good to see his passing hasn’t fallen off.

    At 19, João Neves is almost an entire midfield by himself. To have these numbers plus what he adds without the ball, which can be even more impressive, is simply unbelievable.
