Week 5 pick: Chelsea

Denmark will have a full squad ahead of their game against Wales.

I watched Wales vs Rep of Ireland last night and I have to say I enjoyed Wales' style of play. As a Man Utd fan, I'd like to see them do well under Giggs (should have kept him on after his caretaker run).

No, I am fairly sure a 3-3 draw happened once before, in the 1993/94 season if I am not mistaken.

Correct, Liverpool vs Man Utd when Bruce Grobbelaar was at his best and doing nothing wrong.

Why is it starting on a Sunday?

The entire series will be on a Sunday. It's because of Strictly Come Dancing apparently.

Series 11 will start on October 7th (yes, a Sunday).

So I've surpassed 1000 hours of game play on FM18 - I need a girlfriend!

On the plus side, I won the Europa League with Bangor City!

Weirdly in the community day I caught two shiny Eevees in the first three I found, then found nothing but regular Eevees for the next hour.

9 shiny Eevee's here 😎 (yeah, I'm bragging!) I've evolved 3 into the gen one evolutions. For the gen 2's, you need to walk one of your shiny Eevee's 10km and then evolve it while it's still your buddy in the day time for Espeon and at night for Umbreon. The nickname trick will only work if you've not already used it.

Wait a minute. The goalkeeper got a 9.0 rating? Was that because of that ONE shot OFF target?

He might be my 2nd choice keeper but Jakub Sterba is the absolutely BOY!

It's a shame we're not really getting "Kane's Breakdown". I was hoping for a film noir in which his tenure as Knox County Mayor causes him to gradually lose his humanity and begin dealing with the criminal underworld of Tennessee. There'd be no wrestling whatsoever.

I never knew I wanted that as a game in it's own right. As long as there are options of "Mayor Kane", "Corporate Kane" and "Demon Kane".

Just a few of screenshots from my game:

Newcastle 0-2 Tottenham (Sat 12.30pm)
Huddersfield 1-3 Chelsea (Sat 3pm)
Wolves 2-1 Everton (Sat 5.30pm)
Liverpool 2-0 West Ham (Sun 1.30pm)
Arsenal 2-2 Man City (Sun 4pm)

15 y/o! I'd sign him. Don't count on his determination to change much though. Determination flair and natural fitness are innate stats. They don't change much.

Tutoring can change the determination dramatically. I had a 15 year old come through my youth academy, bags of potential but with a temperamental attitude and determination of 6. I had him tutored and go forward 3 years, he's a wonderkid, balanced personality and determination of 12. I've seen better but that was my most recent one.

Not sure if this is the right thread to ask, but better than any other. Does EWB do a Soccer Saturday Super 6 league?

Dang! Still deserves to be in here too based on your save though 😋

Then it was FC Zurich of Switzerland, in which I had a comfortable 2-0 win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (still annoys the shit out of me)

Ten years ago, in 2008, they were promoted from the North West Counties league for the first time, not sure where you're looking but they played in that league since it's inception in the early 80s and never got any higher until promotion in 2008.

My point stands regardless, they were a nothing club who nobody has ever heard of, and I certainly include the "Class of 92" in that.

It's good they're building an entire club up, benefitting the community etc. I'm not saying they're some evil organisation hell-bent on world domination, I'm pointing out the very obvious fact that they are buying their way into the Football League by operating on a playing field far above that of their 23 opponents in the division.

It goes against the principal notion of sport which is fair competition in my opinion. And the sheer hypocrisy of Neville labelling Accrington's owner someone who wants franchised football is laughable beyond belief because what he and his rich mates have done at Salford is exactly what a franchise club is: take an existing outfit with decades of history and change every single thing about it with money to suit your own ends. Kit colour, ground, identity etc. etc.

I've said all I want to say on this already. I don't agree at all with what Wolves are doing either and despise the way clubs like Chelsea and Man City bought their places at the top table. I loathe the way football has become thanks to clubs like this and that goes from the very top with Chelsea and City down through the leagues taking in Salford, Billericay, Whitehawk and numerous others.

This time 10 years ago, they were between seasons of their last in the NW Counties and the Northern Premier so we're both right!

I fully understand your point. From a personal perspective, I do prefer how they were before, simply because before they did the ground up, I enjoyed sitting on the grass banking watching the match, but that's gone now in favour of the bog standard rectangle stadium! I'll also never forget the season when they were bottom of the Northern Premier First Division with 10 games left and on 4 points, then went on to win 9 of the last 10 and stayed up on the last day under Rhodri Giggs (of all people!).

I'll always back them because I remember when I used to be jealous of places like Bury, Oldham, Rochdale and at that time, Altringham, Hyde and Droylsden having Football League or top to near top level non-League clubs in Manchester but my area didn't so it's great to have that now and a proper alternative local to Man Utd and City.
