@tannerslays I couldn’t play with my son with both of us being Diamond so put me off slightly. Also what makes it more annoying is not getting fully reset each season or split and having to just go from Plat 2/1 to Diamond then Solo. I hope they do something for solo tho. Maybe masters +
@scuderiadreams Couldn’t care less who is faster but will say this that since Lewis came in and helped design the car and wasn’t focused on last year it’s been a lot more competitive. So technically Charles being faster is a little bit down to Lewis too.
I like them both btw 👍
On this day in 2016, Southampton produced a stunning comeback at St Mary’s, overturning a two-goal deficit to beat Liverpool, with goals from Sadio Mané and Graziano Pellè sealing a famous win. 🔴⚪️

📊🇧🇷 Léo Scienza, data report
💬 did it in Germany, is doing it in the Championship; if Southampton doesn't get promoted, someone better give him the opportunity to do it in the Premier League next season
+ finding quality shots was a bit of an issues last season (he relied on strong finishing to create goals from low quality chances), and while he's still finishing better than xG, his shot quality has improved too
+ overall chance creation bag is deeper this season... better crossing, quality of chance created is higher, just a more complete facilitator
+ a less aggressive dribbler this season, but its still a strength... I think because there's more support around him, he can make runs without having to drop in exclusively to receive, plus there's more space so he doesn't always have to beat his man every time he receives the ball
+ still an incredible runner in space
+ futsal background that made him a late bloomer continues to serve him well with his super technical/tricky ability to draw fouls
- not a major contributor in build up in terms of passing, but I think this is entirely role based... no reason a player with his creative abilities would struggle with passing in possession from deeper pockets
- out of possession willingness is still a major concern; running in possession vs. willingness to work out of it is a give-and-take proposition, but his is probably too over-indexed to the fun stuff
➡️ Seriously if he is not playing in a top league as a regular starter next season, idk what to tell you. There are so many mid/bottom table clubs that should be falling over themselves to get him considering the technical and creative level he can provide, and he would even make sense as a cups + super sub for a high end team lacking attacking depth but looking to solve the problem cheap.
The filter in the first image is just too funny... the players in t9 leagues with serious offensive duels won, progressive runs, and xA p90 are Messi, Neymar, Dembele, Grealish, and Léo Scienza twice. He is of course not this level of attacker, but he's so much better than people outside of the south coast realize. He's genuinely one of the best creative wingers on the planet and the only reason he's having to take the scenic route to the top is because he got into proper football late and missed out on the flywheel of youth scouting hype/pedigree assignment.
@lcfczoone_@AlfieFletcherYT@secondtierpod I believe we are in the same spot with Leo and a few others. If we don’t go up we lose 3-4 players if you go down you lose a lot.
Let’s hope we beat West Brom to help you guys
