@Linn_FPL Mate I had this locked in as a win at GW4.

Gonna thrive under Rangnick when he's back

@FPLfrasier Free kick taking hierarchies are my least favourite thing in football, always goes off status instead of ability.

I'm convinced Juan Mata would have scored 20+ more goals for us if we'd just let him take every FK

[HurricraneFPL @HurricraneFPL]

@FPLCrateDigger @SebWassell Yeah agree, hes not necessarily a bad pick. But there is definitely a very clear reason to expect him to stop scoring

[HurricraneFPL @HurricraneFPL]

@FPLCrateDigger @SebWassell "His xG is bad"

"I don't see a reason why he would stop scoring"

🤔

[HurricraneFPL @HurricraneFPL]

@FplSigurd @fplreview Ah yeah, I didn't mean in reference to the model, just in general.

I think there's a reasonable case to say hes a 0.26npxG/90 player with one anomalous game rather than a 0.46npxG/90 player, his average in 3 seasons at Bournemouth was ~0.31

[HurricraneFPL @HurricraneFPL]

@FplSigurd @fplreview Only thing for me is that he racked up 2.06 of his 4.57 xG in one game (Everton)

[HurricraneFPL @HurricraneFPL]

@amonizfootball We were literally playing him at LW at the start of the season, he racked up 7 assists and then Mctominay gets injured and Ole completely forgets hes not a CM

[HurricraneFPL @HurricraneFPL]

@GraceOnFootball Its basically a Imqarrun il-forn though

[HurricraneFPL @HurricraneFPL]

@jameso_12 Hahaha, as you are a Liverpool fan I expect nothing less, and don't think for a minute I would wish you well if the roles were reversed !

[HurricraneFPL @HurricraneFPL]

@jameso_12 Yeah, I completely agree Conte makes us much better at football. And who knows maybe he would win something (a la Tuchel).

I don't know what the answer is tbh, at this point it cant get much worse 😅(hopefully)

[HurricraneFPL @HurricraneFPL]

@jameso_12 I'm pretty sure we can actually. I don't know the ins and outs of it but from a business point of view UTD is a completely different beast to Liverpool/Spurs/Arsenal. The debt has been there for years and has never seemed to affect our ability to move in the market/pay big wages

[HurricraneFPL @HurricraneFPL]

@jameso_12 So even if we add a world class manager we aren't guaranteeing success.

There's not an easy answer IMO, Conte would certainly make the football a lot better in the short term, but I'm not sure he'd be here long enough to actually challenge for the big trophies

[HurricraneFPL @HurricraneFPL]

@jameso_12 I think on the money side we operate differently to most clubs, we are (sadly) a business first and a football club second, and the business side is still very strong.

I could see the Conte route going similar to LVG/Mourinho. We don't make smart decisions from top to bottom 1/2

[HurricraneFPL @HurricraneFPL]

@jameso_12 I know what you mean about waiting around. Our squad is all at peak age and is pretty stacked. But we are up against 3 of the best teams in the world and probably the 3 best managers in the world, we might just have to take the L and actually think about how we compete long term

[HurricraneFPL @HurricraneFPL]

@jameso_12 I've done it myself and seen many UTD accounts do it, try and put the current squad into a Conte 3-5-2. You end up benching the majority of our talent (the attack) and have to play all our bad midfielders. Maybe he'd play a different system, but he's notoriously stubborn

[HurricraneFPL @HurricraneFPL]

@FplStatsdan Yeah the salting part makes it much more difficult, but wouldn't surprise me if they were unsalted? Or are they salted by default universally on WordPress?

[HurricraneFPL @HurricraneFPL]

@FplStatsdan (I'm sure you know this im just stating it for visibility)

[HurricraneFPL @HurricraneFPL]

@FplStatsdan If they've managed to get the hashed passwords then the brute forcing becomes a lot simpler. Its very hard to brute force on a site because you get locked out, but if you have the hashed string then you bypass that and can try millions of combinations very quickly
