he was nothing special in real life apparently and is a fraud an urban myth who somehow got away with making out as if he was the best ever.
when he won one of his world cups. he got injured in the first game and missed the rest of the tournament. just shows you the team and players brazil had back then. all the other wold cups where he played he scored 3 or 4 goals. the golden boot went to players who scored 11 or 12 so he wasn't even close to being a prolific goalscorer. the majority of his goals came against amateur teams and pub teams in competitions organised as exhibition matches where his team would win 12-0 and him scoring 4 goals. he also only ever played in brazilian league and mls both of which were full of 99.9% amateurs. so at the top level he was average at best and he stayed in americas because he wanted to keep up his fraud of being the best player ever.
maradonna in the same regard single handedly won napoli the league title
"Led by Maradona, Napoli won their first ever Serie A Italian Championship in 1986–87.[41] Goldblatt wrote, "The celebrations were tumultuous. A rolling series of impromptu street parties and festivities broke out contagiously across the city in a round-the-clock carnival which ran for over a week. The world was turned upside down. The Neapolitans held mock funerals for Juventus and Milan, burning their coffins, their death notices announcing 'May 1987, the other Italy has been defeated. A new empire is born.'"[41] Murals of Maradona were painted on the city's ancient buildings, and newborn children were named in his honor.[41] The following season, the team's prolific attacking trio, formed by Maradona, Bruno Giordano and Careca, was later dubbed the "Ma-Gi-Ca" (magical) front-line.[44]
Napoli would win their second league title in 1989–90, and finish runners up in the league twice, in 1987–88 and 1988–89.[41] Other honors during the Maradona era at Napoli included the Coppa Italia in 1987, (second place in the Coppa Italia in 1989), the UEFA Cup in 1989 and the Italian Supercup in 1990.[41] Despite primarily playing in a creative role as an attacking midfielder, Maradona was the top scorer in Serie A in 1987–88, with 15 goals, and was the all-time leading goalscorer for Napoli, with 115 goals, until his record was broken by Marek Hamšík in 2017.[29][45][46] When asked who was the toughest player he ever faced, A.C. Milan central defender Franco Baresi stated, "Maradona; when he was on form, there was almost no way of stopping him," a view shared by his Milan teammate Paolo Maldini, who stated, "The best ever I played against was Maradona."

Indeed, you saw a lot of headed goals in the pro tournament too. I'm probably bagging > 40% of my goals from heading at the minute.

who is your right back?
my IF Diego Simeone regularly scores hat tricks (all headers) and he beat Desailly and Varane in the air to score his last hat trick
https://www.futbin.com/19/player/17464/Giovanni Simeone/?chem=hawk&pchem=10&schem=100
he does have 98 jumping though
84 heading accuracy and his traits are
Solid Player
Power Header
he is pretty ridiculous in the air at 24K he is a must buy IMO
Ibra is sat on 105 games played, 162 goals in Div 4 and WL. Just scored an overhead with him from outside the box, he does what he wants.
I’ve been switching to 4231 in game this weekend and whilst it gets a bit boring, it’s very effective. Tevez is doing the business as a sub and it’s making me want to do Rooney before he expires.

Definitely. I said this in 18, FIFA players are easily lead, brainwashed and love a bandwagon, it’s contagious! I literally watch a couple of live streams now but anyone who just uploads videos to rant constantly can do one, it’s an absolute bore.
Go on twitter and search nep. Pretty much done nothing but preach for 2 weeks and now everyone is doing it.
The problem isnt me just watching, its everyone who watches and copies everything they say is meta. Once people find something thats meta and announce it to the world thats that.
All Faze Tass did in the tournament was el tornado cross and head. If he does that in WL with his team its a GG. So poor, so rubbish gameplay and so unrealistic.
edit: literally first game today, 2-0 up lost 5-2 he scored 3 headers from crosses and 2 cut backs like seriously, im all for this patch but they cant not tweak the crossing spam. The fact you can hold a couple of buttons and jump higher is so broken.

This is probably how I've come this far without hating FIFA. I'm off Twitter and watch Fuji on YT and no one else. One thing I could do without is visiting the subreddit which is just constant complaining.
Played someone who just spammed crosses to FB ibra
Having Futswap Da Costa and Van aanholt really helps with crosses. Baresi is in good hands
Found the FUT swap SBC for the Norwegian so now just stuck on 6! Wanting 7 so I can get that German right back just in case I want to use Boateng at CB but stuuuuck - not in the Weekly Challenge so I'm guessing I'll just have to suck it up and get Promes for 6?
Play squad battles. You'll get one as a reward.

Watch a couple of youtubers and the Xbox part of the EA forum and I still enjoy fifa. Take it for what it is a video game to pass the time. It’s been proven time and time again what level you finish in weekend league doesn’t affect what players you bag in the rewards.
Just try and have fun - the rest will follow surely

Any one recommend baby vieira as a good cdm to go along kante ?
Tbh a lot of the streamers and pros look like they’re on deaths door. Their eye area looks like they haven’t seen sunlight or a good nights sleep in months. I know a few of them have spoken out about depression and I don’t think FIFA is helping them in all honesty.
A few games can change my mood if it’s a delay/trash fest so I can’t imagine what it does to people who grind 30/60 games out every single weekend.
Don’t think it’s even about the rewards for many, some people have packed nothing of note from them since release and they still play all 30 games every weekend and complain. It’s an addiction/habit and Male competitiveness wins out when you lose “unfairly”.

Yes, I know all about Pele. I do think he was probably a great player but football is on another level now.
However, in FIFA he is crazy. Before this I've used - Prime Cruyff, TOTY KDB, CR7, 89 Eusebio, Prime Raul, Prime Best.
This 91 Pele is on another level, his fairly high strength, combined with his balance means he can hold off defenders easily, he's super fast and can score from anywhere on either foot. He does skill moves as quickly as Neymar and is actually good in the air. I'm genuinely stunned how good he is, 88 stamina too so he can run all game.
Many Icons don't have the X factor, but Pele is a giant on the pitch. 5 WL ragequits in a row due to him scoring something like 18 goals
