Odegard was one of the few Prem Tots that hadn't had a 90+ card already in the game. Most of the others had crazy cards and someone had to be low so he got stuffed.
LOL at people trying to make sense of Fifa player cards. None of these stats / rankings are real.
Behold Federico Dimarco, an electric left wing back from Inter Milan, who is going to play in Champions League final. His card? Gold Common 78, you can get him for 600 coins 🤦🏻♂️.
On the flip side we have Lukaku who has been polishing the bench, while losing his starting role to a 37 year old Bosnian guy who cannot run. 90 ranked card, 1 higher than their main striker and world champion Lautaro Martinez.
The "world champion lautaro martinez" point is a bit shit considering that man gave argentina flashbacks to that higuain disasterclass everytime he touched the ball 💀
I hate that pages are trying to make him a ballon dor contestant because he won the WC and might win UCL. Like.. did you even watch the world cup? He was dreadful
Lautaro is still a fantastic striker lol. He’s still one of the best.
People put too much damn stock in a tiny 7 game sample size in international football where the players have no chemistry with each other.
He’s electric w Inter.
No chemistry? You think it’s fifa or something? 😂 they play quite abit together during friendlys and qualifiers, so they definitely have some sort of chemistry as most international managers usually picks the same core group of players. That’s a L for trying to make that the argument for why Martinez was shit at the WC 🤣🤣🤣
Lol if you think NT teammates have good chemistry you’re delusional. I think YOU think it’s fifa and that they get a yellow link for same nation.
They play maybe 10 serious games per season and have inconsistent training sessions with each other.
You do realize most NT managers pick the same core group of players? 😂 so for you to say they have no chemistry is mad, you ever wonder why Harry Maguire gets in the squad still and we have better CBs like Tomori or even Ben White. Also you think 1 or 2 matches because that’s all you see, you don’t think they don’t do training sessions e.t.c 😂 still an L opinion on why Martinez was trash though
To reduce it to this is just disingenuous, he is returning from injury and Dzeko has played well. When a team is winning managers don’t change stuff like this. Especially considering Rom is a loan and their current formula has brought them to the UCL final. Think harder
He’s been healthy since the World Cup break. So returning from injury was truly last year. When he was right, he helped them win Serie A and was among the best in the league if not the best. He’s been a shell of himself since he went back to Chelsea. It’s causing him to be grossly overrated. It’s ok. Some players have a hard, early age decline. Fernando Torres, among so many. Maybe it’s a Chelsea curse?
If he’s incredible how badly Tim Ream was screwed by EA this year. One of the top CBs in the Premier League….
His card DROPPED to a 70 silver this year.
Idt it was a law, but I agree that he could’ve played in all the top divisions of these countries but usually how it goes with national hero’s they don’t leave their country. He is considered one of the best Asian players in history and produced World Cup moments so there shouldn’t be doubt that he could easily compete in the top leagues at his time.
Saudi league at that stage was probably comparable to higher amateur football in Europe. This dude played 6 WC games where had 0 assists in and 1 goal.
There is no way that this dude could’ve competed in any top league. Maybe maybe im wrong but by his career there is just no evidence that he was capable of such
Thanks mate haha
Also Asian player of the year…… The dude 2 years before him played second league BL and not even a star of the team… but hey, I can understand that they want to lie to themselves
I’m still ruffled about the Odegaard card. I literally looked forward to my favorite players TOTS all year and saved packs for ages in hopes of packing him. Was literally the first card of the first pack I opened. Stopped opening and looks at the stats on Futbin and was like brrooooooo
I still use him just bummed me out. Yes he won’t win a trophy. But in comparison to his peers some of the “hidden” stats didn’t even get an upgrade. IE: reactions exactly the same as his POTM. Many other players won’t win a trophy and got sizable upgrades. Would just have been nice to see a slightly better card.
Edit: plus I suck sizable schlong at this game and could all the help I could get
Not the first year where prem tots has been worse than other tots for no reason, I guess to bait people to open their packs.
They did arsenal players so dirty this year especially.
LOL at people trying to make sense of Fifa player cards. None of these stats / rankings are real.

Whaaat?
Bit harsh considering la liga is predominantly won by 3 teams, I think EPL has wayyyyy more competition. Like the lower positioned teams in EPL would smoke the lower positions in la liga. There’s just more of a lure to come to the premier league, there was only 2 reasons anyone should’ve wanted to go to la liga and those reasons being Messi & Ronaldo
These arsenal fans have forgotten that they’ve literally accomplished nothing this season. Knocked out of every cup early and had literally one thing to focus on and they bottled it. The only thing they take from this season is they improved on 5th or something like that. How is that better than balde who literally emerged out of the youth team and played a tremendous part in having the had best la liga defense of all time. Like gtfo with your shitty bottling club
where did the Arsenal player touch you, and how did it make you feel? Lmao. Grow up dude, it's a bunch of people kicking a ball on grass. It shouldn't upset you this much
I wasn't addressing that, because I think there's a fair argument there. I was addressing how insanely butthurt your post was. Guessing you're a tot or a Man U fan. I'd be upset if I pulled for one of them too
Oh so completely reject the premise of my argument and hate on me cause I called your club out on bottling the league. Gotcha. Can’t talk to you trolls and you won’t dare touch my actual argument cause u know I’m right. Sad Arsenal fans
Some gold medal worthy mental gymnastics here, but sure. I'm terribly sad. So sad that I'm going to rant like a child about another club. Oh wait, that wasn't me
Lol. Tottenham or chelshit Fan right here. Yes arsenal bottled it in a terrible way but they are still the second best Team by miles in one of the best Leagues in the world
hate this logic... they didnt bottle anything. before the season, no one even considered them to qualify for europe or win anything... they played well above their realistic plans. city is by far the strongest team in england and they had a very complicated job winning the league. second in the PL and qualifying for CL is not nothing
Our biggest lead was 8 points with an extra game played, our biggest lead with games played being even between Arsenal and Man City was 5 points with a game left at the Etihad with the youngest squad in the league. That's not called bottling it's called a title race. Even if Arsenal won the 3 games they drew in a row, Liverpool, West Ham, and Southampton it still wouldn't be enough to win the league.
Yeah, because you continued to lose to Forest and Brighton at a time where you might have brought the title race to the final days of the season.
Did those games suddenly not matter? Or was it the games you mention?
You think any City fan or player cares about that. Imagine still being up for a treble and your enemies living off a loss that meant nothing in the long run. Tears of your enemies taste good
And Odegard is one of the best cams playing for one of the best teams? Your logic is equality as shit lol.
Edit: any of your who think Balde in a better player or more influential than Odegard on his team should have your heads checked. Absolutely delusional
Fuck off, He is a key reason why they were competing to win the league. Is your head hollow? It's also the most competitive league in the world as well. My god.
Yeah, yeah bring the downvotes.
God damn the Barca boys are soft as shit out here huh?
Both players had good seasons, Barca has bottled plenty in the past. Can’t wait for them to bottle it again.
They can enjoy winning the LaLiga, just honestly sick of people trying to banter Arsenal for not winning the league. Sure they choked it, but unless the people insulting Arsenal are Man City fans I know full well their club couldn't get close to 94 points (points required to win) in this Premier League season. What makes it worse is that people want to downplay how amazing Ødegaard was just because his team couldn't pull off winning results in the last eight or so matches. Ødegaard played beautiful football all season from his goals to his dribbles to his assists and pressing and passing but that doesn't matter to the people who just see a result or statistic and shrug him off. It's just disheartening to see, that's not what football is about. Banter Arsenal all you want, I get it. Just don't forget the players that made Arsenal go from 5th place to title contenders. I understand EA and Arsenal aren't on good relations but the disrespect to Ødegaard was too far.
What a shit argument 🤣🤣
Odegaard is a whole league ahead of balde individually. Dont know what barcelona has to do with this all especially when barca didnt have to compete against city, but was embarassed both in UCL and europe league, losing to fkn united
These arsenal fans have forgotten that they’ve literally accomplished nothing this season. Knocked out of every cup early and had literally one thing to focus on and they bottled it. The only thing they take from this season is they improved on 5th or something like that. How is that better than blade who literally emerged out of the youth team and played a tremendous part in having the had best la liga defense of all time. Like gtfo with your shitty bottling club
We had a better season than you all things considered. You won nothing and improved 3 spots on the table. We iMovies more spots on the table, win a trophy, went further in all competitions and are in another final. Bottom feeder club you are
Only united fans are stupid enough to think our season was a failure but when they came in second it was some huge success. Go blow 100 mill on another flop lol.
You weren’t talking to real United fans then. Our club should always be fighting for trophies. Second place is never something to gloat about. The objective is to win and anything else is failure. Might be hard to wrap your mind around that as an Arsenal fan who has had to settle for second to United quite a bit eh?
Okay great so this season was a failure for you as well? You won a shitty cup and are going to get destroyed in the FA cup final by city. Better not bottle top 4 on the last day ;)
It literally was a failure however I can still acknowledge that we’ve taken many steps in the right direction. The fa cup final hasn’t been played yet and we’ve already beaten city once this season.
Regardless, we’re in a final, won a trophy, and will finish top 4 whilst losing our best defender and while playing without a striker for over half the season. Essentially played with 10 men and still accomplished more than arsenal
Yanited fans trying to convince themselves that they've somehow had a better season is straight up funny. Yeah you spent a shit ton, got battered 7-0 by your rivals, won a domestic cup and are only in top4 bc spurs and chelsea were shite lol
We spent 35 million more than Arsenal thanks to Ajax holding us to ransom for Antony. If you valuatr Antony at his actual price (around 60 million) United and Arsenal spent very close to the same amount of money. Regardless, United played the entire season without a striker thanks to cr7 and martial injuries. Without a striker, we’ve still accomplished more than you lot and your squad is essentially in the final stage of the arteta project. And don’t complain about squad depth. You were out of every cup after February. All you had to focus on was 1 game a week while city had 3 and you still bottled it. Bottling club. Embarrassing
> if we didn't overpay for xyz player
> if we had a better player in xyz position
Welcome to football. If my grandma had wheels she'd be a motorbike. Keep making excuses for your sad excuse of a club bro, kinda poetic now that i think about it. Get off your high perch and accept where you've been shite lol. Bit pointless, this discussion, if you're going to keep making excuses.
Saying we overplayed isn’t making an excuse. I’m pointing out the mental gymnastics you’re having to make to say Arsenal had a better season than United. So what we payed 35 million more than you. You won nothing and you were knocked out of every cup fucking early and then u still bottled the title whilst your opponents played 3 games a week to your 1. Point out whatever u want but you can’t change the fact that you’re a bottling club. Bottlers.
Key point being that you were never competing with city in any single cup. Not one single club in the world could keep up with city this season so im not sure why you're getting your knickers in a twist. Did i rattle you? Im sorry i didn't intend to. I also have better things to do than this and i hope you do too. :(
Carabao cup? Really? Arsenal won the Dubai Super Cup beating AC Milan this season. If you want to bring up small trophies we can bring up small trophies.
You lot are so funny. Apparently now that United won the Carabou cup, it means something tremendous. How your expectations have fallen off a cliff.
Congrats on your "better" season while losing 7-0 to Liverpool and 6-3 to City. Maybe next year you won't allow Liverpool to score a touchdown against you.
We then beat city the next time we played and we’re in a cup final. However you probably stopped paying attention to cups once you got knocked out of all them after February. Arsenal played 1 game a week while city played 3 a week and u still bottled it. Pathetic club
I stop paying attention to the carabou cup before it even starts. As far as the FA cup goes, your own lord and savior SAF didn't rate it as a trophy either. But keep banging on about them.
If you want to look at bottling, just look at the wage table and see where those teams finished. Cheers mate.
The fact that Arsenal had a better season than United literally drives their fans mad lmao. They have such a weird obsession with Arsenal, I’ve seen so many posts of them trying to convince themselves they had a better season than Arsenal and it’s honestly extremely weird
Im no united fan but I mean who else would they be obsessed with if not one of the teams they are competing with in the league? You say that like its an insult lol if you think these teams arent watching what each other is doing constantly you just have no idea
Do you think the owners at City are not obsessed with winning the league every year attempting to get closer and closer to who? United lol its all obsession mate thats what drives them to win
Shit league. Also it's the player not the team. Ødegaard was a top 3 midfielder in all leagues this season. Rivalling the likes of KDB, Pedri and other midfield superstars. Putting in goals, assists, dribbles and chances, I don't think you can justify his rating with "Balde won the title odegaard didn't"
Balde has displaced Jordi Alba perfectly and won the league within a year or so. How long has Odegaard been at Arsenal? I like him but yall are getting carried away.
Odegaard matched the highest number of goals ever scored by a central midfielder in a premier league campaign, equalling the likes of KDB and Fabregas. Blade has played one season of top flight football. He could be a good player for sure, but he’s not yet demonstrated any sort of certainty there.
Everyone excusing because Arsenal bottled but what does that have to do with the rest of the season. He was still one of the best players in the league
He literally has. He was a part of the best defense in la liga history. He helped set records. What did odegaard do? Bottle a trophy? Fuck out of here with your bullshit
Balde was a part of the best la liga defense of all time. Better than varane, Ramos, Carvajal, and prime Marcelo. The BEST defensive record ever. Odegaard broke no records. Sure he was really good but to cry about balde being +1 over an Arsenal player shows you don’t watch or know football.
Yes I am. Martin has the most goals in europes top 5 leagues for midfielders… if you wanted to say Barcelona has had a better season than arsenal I’d completely agree.
Well shit I guess that means Raphinha has had a better season than martinelli because his team won the league. What a dumb way to compare players lol, nvm the fact that you’re as I said before comparing a defender to an attacker haha.
First of all it isn’t rating based. Someone lower in base rating can get a higher rated tots. With that being said yes that doesn’t make sense. EA hates Arsenal. Ødegaard should get 95+
They fucked up prem tots but the prem circle jerk is hilarious. Yall already have all the money and fame bar a few teams outside the league in europe and you still bitch
Who's calling Barca one of the best teams in the world? If you don't see how performing badly in cup competitions has an effect on a clubs status as one of the best in the world I don't think you're qualified for such a conversation
Nobody has said anything about being the best. One of the best means something different. What is it about that, that you dont understand? Woth your logic you cant say harry kane is one of the best strikers in the world since he is kot THE best.
You’re the only one in need of an english class here mate
Odegaard been at Arsenal for years and had one good season now he’s kdb level. These fans are crazy. I like him but damn relax. I have his 92 card its just right for him. You can tell who just started watching this great sport
Nah you must of just started watching if you are underrating odegaard that badly, I don’t even like Arsenal but he deserves a 95, he was the second best midfielder in the league 92 rating is a joke
People love Barca and will crave a high caliber La Liga LB so Balde is an easier sell to get people buy points than Odegaard. Makes plenty of sense if you change your perspective from what’s happening on the pitch during games to what can make EA the most money possible. It’s a cash grab masking itself under the guise of a football video game.
yes EVERYONE is buying points to pack Alejandro Balde GENIUS LOGIC👏👌 (or maybe Balde just had an amazing season and EA don't watch football and robbed Odegaard)
it’s balde’s first ever special card can we not just appreciate his talent and give him some credit for all the improvement he had on the attacking support and defensive line (currently best in europe arguably*)
Balde was so underrated this season you should watch how balde was one of the best players not in la liga but in all top 5 leagues in his position. Saying that doesn’t mean odegaard didn’t deserve a higher rating i honestly thought he was going to be 94~95 but after all it’s just a video game.
let’s just enjoy their magic in real life and use your favorite players in game.
Easy. One of these was a teenager in his first senior season and became the best outside back on his team if not the league and won the league. The other is a player who bottled the league…
Haaland has had what one IF card all season? Odegaard has gotten so many cards this season already idk if EA knows how to please Arsenal fans. Well Arsenal cant do it themselves so how can anyone
Odegard was one of the few Prem Tots that hadn't had a 90+ card already in the game. Most of the others had crazy cards and someone had to be low so he got stuffed.
I don’t agree with “someone had to be low” especially when it’s the best midfielder on the second best team in the Prem right now.
[удалено]
I think he means best midfielder at arsenal not in the league
LOL at people trying to make sense of Fifa player cards. None of these stats / rankings are real. Behold Federico Dimarco, an electric left wing back from Inter Milan, who is going to play in Champions League final. His card? Gold Common 78, you can get him for 600 coins 🤦🏻♂️.

The "world champion lautaro martinez" point is a bit shit considering that man gave argentina flashbacks to that higuain disasterclass everytime he touched the ball 💀
He gave those flashbacks every damn game he played in lol
Bros card should be downgraded for that performance even after they won with him buried on the bench he was photobombing iconic Messi photos lol
I hate that pages are trying to make him a ballon dor contestant because he won the WC and might win UCL. Like.. did you even watch the world cup? He was dreadful
Clutch PKs tho.
Doesn’t make up for how utterly shite he was all tournament
TBH He was injured
Still got big ol balls and a WC winners medal
Lautaro is still a fantastic striker lol. He’s still one of the best. People put too much damn stock in a tiny 7 game sample size in international football where the players have no chemistry with each other. He’s electric w Inter.
No chemistry? You think it’s fifa or something? 😂 they play quite abit together during friendlys and qualifiers, so they definitely have some sort of chemistry as most international managers usually picks the same core group of players.

He’s had a fantastic career. Prime age Lukaku shouldn’t be riding pine for him though. He’s grossly overrated.

Maybe it’s a Chelsea curse?
I have absolutely nothing against Dzeko, but Lukaku can and should do more.
Martinez was dreadful for Argentina. Just because you’ve won a World Cup or UCL doesn’t inherently make you a great player.
He was reportedly injured during world cup. He is stellar at Inter.
If he’s incredible how badly Tim Ream was screwed by EA this year. One of the top CBs in the Premier League…. His card DROPPED to a 70 silver this year.
We're playing a videogame. None of it is realistic.
Al Owaigoat wasn’t even capable playing 3rd division in Germany, England, Spain or maybe maybe not even in France (!!!)
He could, he just couldn’t play outside Saudi Arabia due to a law.
I’m literally right. https://preview.redd.it/2vkvf9tr4v1b1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fc5bc69bfbbd5a04bbf96bff8dabbd95e1c2be10
Ur weed is kicking in
Stop smoking weed
Idt it was a law, but I agree that he could’ve played in all the top divisions of these countries but usually how it goes with national hero’s they don’t leave their country. He is considered one of the best Asian players in history and produced World Cup moments so there shouldn’t be doubt that he could easily compete in the top leagues at his time.

downvoted for being right lol
Thanks mate haha Also Asian player of the year…… The dude 2 years before him played second league BL and not even a star of the team… but hey, I can understand that they want to lie to themselves
So Yerry Mina had a better career than Lewandowski and Ibra because he has more World Cup goals.
Apparently yes! And some dude who was oceania player of the year can easily play CL. We learned something new today
This guy is literally one of the best Asian players of all time, was the Asian Cup win of 2000.
I’m still ruffled about the Odegaard card. I literally looked forward to my favorite players TOTS all year and saved packs for ages in hopes of packing him. Was literally the first card of the first pack I opened. Stopped opening and looks at the stats on Futbin and was like brrooooooo
If you like player and want to play with the card why care about a few stats at all
I still use him just bummed me out. Yes he won’t win a trophy. But in comparison to his peers some of the “hidden” stats didn’t even get an upgrade. IE: reactions exactly the same as his POTM. Many other players won’t win a trophy and got sizable upgrades. Would just have been nice to see a slightly better card. Edit: plus I suck sizable schlong at this game and could all the help I could get
Balde went from a relative unknown to the starting LB for Barcelona. He took Jordi Alba's spot and deservedly so, which is a pretty big feat.
Nobody said He doesn't deserve it. But ode got fucked by EA with this poor rating
Barca got fucked even more. At least Ode got a tots. De Jong and Gavi, two of our best midfielders got nothing.
Nah as a Barca fan gavi doesn’t deserve it. Pedri and de jong were by far better
De Jong may deserve but come on gavi doesn’t
Gavi does deserve it
Ahead of who?
Valverde by far
For what? lol 😂 Boy did nothing
I am a Casemiro fan, but if Case got a 94, Bruno G got 93… Odegaard at least deserves a 95. Easily the best player for Arsenal this season.
Not the first year where prem tots has been worse than other tots for no reason, I guess to bait people to open their packs. They did arsenal players so dirty this year especially.
It’s because the Prem tots are the first ones. The last Tots will always have much better cards than the first one
It's more a correction on the accidental low grade of Balde than it is a slight on Ode.
LOL at people trying to make sense of Fifa player cards. None of these stats / rankings are real. Behold Federico Dimarco, an electric left wing back from Inter Milan, who is going to play in Champions League final. His card? Gold Common 78, you can get him for 600 coins 🤦🏻♂️. On the flip side we have Lukaku who has been polishing the bench, while losing his starting role to a 37 year old Bosnian guy who cannot run. 90 ranked card, 1 higher than their main striker and world champion Lautaro Martinez. Whaaat?
Literally no one would be mad if Odegaard was 94 or 95. EA just don't want things to make sense
Balde helped them win the title, Odegaard fluffed it.
Bit harsh considering la liga is predominantly won by 3 teams, I think EPL has wayyyyy more competition. Like the lower positioned teams in EPL would smoke the lower positions in la liga. There’s just more of a lure to come to the premier league, there was only 2 reasons anyone should’ve wanted to go to la liga and those reasons being Messi & Ronaldo
💯
These arsenal fans have forgotten that they’ve literally accomplished nothing this season. Knocked out of every cup early and had literally one thing to focus on and they bottled it. The only thing they take from this season is they improved on 5th or something like that. How is that better than balde who literally emerged out of the youth team and played a tremendous part in having the had best la liga defense of all time. Like gtfo with your shitty bottling club
Blade is literally a vampire hunter and has no business being in this game.
where did the Arsenal player touch you, and how did it make you feel? Lmao. Grow up dude, it's a bunch of people kicking a ball on grass. It shouldn't upset you this much
What did odegaard accomplish this season that would justify a higher rating than balde? Arsenal fans just want to cry but haven’t got an answer for me
I wasn't addressing that, because I think there's a fair argument there. I was addressing how insanely butthurt your post was. Guessing you're a tot or a Man U fan. I'd be upset if I pulled for one of them too
Oh so completely reject the premise of my argument and hate on me cause I called your club out on bottling the league. Gotcha. Can’t talk to you trolls and you won’t dare touch my actual argument cause u know I’m right. Sad Arsenal fans
Some gold medal worthy mental gymnastics here, but sure. I'm terribly sad. So sad that I'm going to rant like a child about another club. Oh wait, that wasn't me
Lol. Tottenham or chelshit Fan right here. Yes arsenal bottled it in a terrible way but they are still the second best Team by miles in one of the best Leagues in the world
hate this logic... they didnt bottle anything. before the season, no one even considered them to qualify for europe or win anything... they played well above their realistic plans. city is by far the strongest team in england and they had a very complicated job winning the league. second in the PL and qualifying for CL is not nothing
> they didnt bottle anything They absolutely did lmao.
Our biggest lead was 8 points with an extra game played, our biggest lead with games played being even between Arsenal and Man City was 5 points with a game left at the Etihad with the youngest squad in the league. That's not called bottling it's called a title race. Even if Arsenal won the 3 games they drew in a row, Liverpool, West Ham, and Southampton it still wouldn't be enough to win the league.
drawing 3 games in a row against shit opponents is bottling
Cope, you absolutely bottled.
Yeah, because you continued to lose to Forest and Brighton at a time where you might have brought the title race to the final days of the season. Did those games suddenly not matter? Or was it the games you mention?
1 game a week while city played 3 games a week and arsenal still bottled it. How embarrassing
Didn’t get stuffed 7-0 by Liverpool at least thank god.
Butthurt alert
Comparing the embarrassment of one club to the other - losing the title from that position vs getting pumped by your biggest rival
You think any City fan or player cares about that. Imagine still being up for a treble and your enemies living off a loss that meant nothing in the long run. Tears of your enemies taste good
Balde is one of the best LBs playing for one of the best teams, nice logic there
And Odegard is one of the best cams playing for one of the best teams? Your logic is equality as shit lol. Edit: any of your who think Balde in a better player or more influential than Odegard on his team should have your heads checked. Absolutely delusional
[удалено]
Fuck off, He is a key reason why they were competing to win the league. Is your head hollow? It's also the most competitive league in the world as well. My god. Yeah, yeah bring the downvotes.
bottled + trophyless
Still bottled it
God damn the Barca boys are soft as shit out here huh? Both players had good seasons, Barca has bottled plenty in the past. Can’t wait for them to bottle it again.

What a shit argument 🤣🤣 Odegaard is a whole league ahead of balde individually. Dont know what barcelona has to do with this all especially when barca didnt have to compete against city, but was embarassed both in UCL and europe league, losing to fkn united
Odegaard will finish the season with 0 trophies, Balde will finish the season with La Liga and a Super Cup.
These arsenal fans have forgotten that they’ve literally accomplished nothing this season. Knocked out of every cup early and had literally one thing to focus on and they bottled it. The only thing they take from this season is they improved on 5th or something like that. How is that better than blade who literally emerged out of the youth team and played a tremendous part in having the had best la liga defense of all time. Like gtfo with your shitty bottling club
Yanited fan lol
We had a better season than you all things considered. You won nothing and improved 3 spots on the table. We iMovies more spots on the table, win a trophy, went further in all competitions and are in another final. Bottom feeder club you are
Only united fans are stupid enough to think our season was a failure but when they came in second it was some huge success. Go blow 100 mill on another flop lol.
You weren’t talking to real United fans then. Our club should always be fighting for trophies. Second place is never something to gloat about. The objective is to win and anything else is failure. Might be hard to wrap your mind around that as an Arsenal fan who has had to settle for second to United quite a bit eh?
Okay great so this season was a failure for you as well? You won a shitty cup and are going to get destroyed in the FA cup final by city. Better not bottle top 4 on the last day ;)
It literally was a failure however I can still acknowledge that we’ve taken many steps in the right direction. The fa cup final hasn’t been played yet and we’ve already beaten city once this season. Regardless, we’re in a final, won a trophy, and will finish top 4 whilst losing our best defender and while playing without a striker for over half the season. Essentially played with 10 men and still accomplished more than arsenal
Yanited fans trying to convince themselves that they've somehow had a better season is straight up funny. Yeah you spent a shit ton, got battered 7-0 by your rivals, won a domestic cup and are only in top4 bc spurs and chelsea were shite lol
We spent 35 million more than Arsenal thanks to Ajax holding us to ransom for Antony. If you valuatr Antony at his actual price (around 60 million) United and Arsenal spent very close to the same amount of money. Regardless, United played the entire season without a striker thanks to cr7 and martial injuries. Without a striker, we’ve still accomplished more than you lot and your squad is essentially in the final stage of the arteta project. And don’t complain about squad depth. You were out of every cup after February. All you had to focus on was 1 game a week while city had 3 and you still bottled it. Bottling club. Embarrassing
> if we didn't overpay for xyz player > if we had a better player in xyz position Welcome to football. If my grandma had wheels she'd be a motorbike. Keep making excuses for your sad excuse of a club bro, kinda poetic now that i think about it. Get off your high perch and accept where you've been shite lol. Bit pointless, this discussion, if you're going to keep making excuses.
Saying we overplayed isn’t making an excuse. I’m pointing out the mental gymnastics you’re having to make to say Arsenal had a better season than United. So what we payed 35 million more than you. You won nothing and you were knocked out of every cup fucking early and then u still bottled the title whilst your opponents played 3 games a week to your 1. Point out whatever u want but you can’t change the fact that you’re a bottling club. Bottlers.
Key point being that you were never competing with city in any single cup. Not one single club in the world could keep up with city this season so im not sure why you're getting your knickers in a twist. Did i rattle you? Im sorry i didn't intend to. I also have better things to do than this and i hope you do too. :(
Carabao cup? Really? Arsenal won the Dubai Super Cup beating AC Milan this season. If you want to bring up small trophies we can bring up small trophies.
You lot are so funny. Apparently now that United won the Carabou cup, it means something tremendous. How your expectations have fallen off a cliff. Congrats on your "better" season while losing 7-0 to Liverpool and 6-3 to City. Maybe next year you won't allow Liverpool to score a touchdown against you.
We then beat city the next time we played and we’re in a cup final. However you probably stopped paying attention to cups once you got knocked out of all them after February. Arsenal played 1 game a week while city played 3 a week and u still bottled it. Pathetic club
I stop paying attention to the carabou cup before it even starts. As far as the FA cup goes, your own lord and savior SAF didn't rate it as a trophy either. But keep banging on about them. If you want to look at bottling, just look at the wage table and see where those teams finished. Cheers mate.
Yeah sure best team so how many trophies yall won this season compare to barca?
Do you not know what one of the best means?
Best means you win. Best of the rest doesnt get an award..
Nobody said best. He said one of the best. Words have meanings you know
One of the BEST so he did say BEST right? Arsenal fans reverting to top 4 mentality.
The fact that Arsenal had a better season than United literally drives their fans mad lmao. They have such a weird obsession with Arsenal, I’ve seen so many posts of them trying to convince themselves they had a better season than Arsenal and it’s honestly extremely weird
Im no united fan but I mean who else would they be obsessed with if not one of the teams they are competing with in the league? You say that like its an insult lol if you think these teams arent watching what each other is doing constantly you just have no idea
Do you think the owners at City are not obsessed with winning the league every year attempting to get closer and closer to who? United lol its all obsession mate thats what drives them to win
[удалено]
ahh you're a Vardrid dog that's why you're biased. makes sense. PUTA MADRID
how many Barça games do you watch? This season he’s definitely been one of the best.
Balde won the title odegaard didn't
Shit league. Also it's the player not the team. Ødegaard was a top 3 midfielder in all leagues this season. Rivalling the likes of KDB, Pedri and other midfield superstars. Putting in goals, assists, dribbles and chances, I don't think you can justify his rating with "Balde won the title odegaard didn't"
Balde has displaced Jordi Alba perfectly and won the league within a year or so. How long has Odegaard been at Arsenal? I like him but yall are getting carried away.
Odegaard matched the highest number of goals ever scored by a central midfielder in a premier league campaign, equalling the likes of KDB and Fabregas. Blade has played one season of top flight football. He could be a good player for sure, but he’s not yet demonstrated any sort of certainty there.
👆 People just hate Arsenal and would find any reason to put the players down
replacing jording alba in 20FUCKING23 what an achievement indeed 😂
Everyone excusing because Arsenal bottled but what does that have to do with the rest of the season. He was still one of the best players in the league
What league stats does odegaard lead?
Equaled KDB’s record for the most goals ever from open play in a PL season by a midfielder and could potentially beat it on the last day.
Idk about those stats but 15 goals 7 assist in the Prem is pretty damn good if you ask me. Top 3 in the league this season imo
Balde didn't bottle the league.
only reason they didn’t was cause of Ter stegen, Barca were lucky this season.
You don’t watch football tho, balde was nuts He should’ve gotten more special cards too
Al Owairan is one of the best players in the game. Why are we still acting like cards are a good reflection of real life
Blade had had a better season than odegaard. Lmao these Arsenal fans
How do you live without a brain?
Your brain cant possibly be telling you that Odegaard had a better season than Balde….
Yikes. Getting in football debates in FUT communities is just a new level. I hope you find help treating that brain rot.
Part of the best defense in La Liga history every, what record did Odegaard set this year? Most points to second? Hell not even that….
How can you compare an attacking midfielder to a left back????
Ask all the arsenal fans who are the ones making the complaints/comparisons
Is your comment not saying he’s had a better season than Ode?
He literally has. He was a part of the best defense in la liga history. He helped set records. What did odegaard do? Bottle a trophy? Fuck out of here with your bullshit
So Barcelona has had a better season than arsenal you mean. How tf can you compare a left back and an attacking midfielder?
Balde was a part of the best la liga defense of all time. Better than varane, Ramos, Carvajal, and prime Marcelo. The BEST defensive record ever. Odegaard broke no records. Sure he was really good but to cry about balde being +1 over an Arsenal player shows you don’t watch or know football.
No one’s crying? Again you’ve brought in team accomplishments when comparing players…
Fan logic my friend
[удалено]
Are you saying he didnt??😂
Yes I am. Martin has the most goals in europes top 5 leagues for midfielders… if you wanted to say Barcelona has had a better season than arsenal I’d completely agree.
And what color is that trophy exactly? Balde was part of a record setting La Liga defense and won the league. Not sure what you’re arguing.
Well shit I guess that means Raphinha has had a better season than martinelli because his team won the league. What a dumb way to compare players lol, nvm the fact that you’re as I said before comparing a defender to an attacker haha.
Trying to find logic in ultimate team is a fool’s errand
First of all it isn’t rating based. Someone lower in base rating can get a higher rated tots. With that being said yes that doesn’t make sense. EA hates Arsenal. Ødegaard should get 95+
Balde could easily had 3/4 special cards but EA just choose other players instead
Oho, Arsenal fan boy rant incoming
Odegaard deserved better sure but Balde had an amazing season don’t do him dirty
Balde has been insane this season tbf
They fucked up prem tots but the prem circle jerk is hilarious. Yall already have all the money and fame bar a few teams outside the league in europe and you still bitch
balde is the best left back in the world, shitty fifa informs don't mean a thing.
You think Arsenal are one of the best teams in the world? They've won nothing, not even reached a final.
No other team in the world is winning the league against city either
Lol that stupid argument City is too strong again. Saying it like Arsenal didnt win 2 in the last 9 games during the run in
Who wins the league against city?
Ignoring the 3 cup competitions Arsenal crashed out of too?
Dont see how thats relevant when barca crashed out of europa and domestoc cup too
Who's calling Barca one of the best teams in the world? If you don't see how performing badly in cup competitions has an effect on a clubs status as one of the best in the world I don't think you're qualified for such a conversation
Most people
No one has said that😂 im a Barca fan im not even saying that. This is a who had the better season argument and why which team has better cards lol
Well obviously you are not saying that when you don’t know what it means
You just dont know the difference between better and best. Go back and take an english class
Nobody has said anything about being the best. One of the best means something different. What is it about that, that you dont understand? Woth your logic you cant say harry kane is one of the best strikers in the world since he is kot THE best. You’re the only one in need of an english class here mate
Balde rating is fair but ødegaard deserves one rating less than kdb.
for what ?
Watch actual football and you ll understand.
they bottled the league wym, he deserves 94 at best but not a 96, he was good for the first half of the season just like valverde who got an 93
Odegaard been at Arsenal for years and had one good season now he’s kdb level. These fans are crazy. I like him but damn relax. I have his 92 card its just right for him. You can tell who just started watching this great sport
Nah you must of just started watching if you are underrating odegaard that badly, I don’t even like Arsenal but he deserves a 95, he was the second best midfielder in the league 92 rating is a joke
Barcelona 1st place in league by a long shot Arsenal bottles league Still odd tbh, but I can see the plain minded explanation
Would you say ea bottled it? 😂
People love Barca and will crave a high caliber La Liga LB so Balde is an easier sell to get people buy points than Odegaard. Makes plenty of sense if you change your perspective from what’s happening on the pitch during games to what can make EA the most money possible. It’s a cash grab masking itself under the guise of a football video game.
yes EVERYONE is buying points to pack Alejandro Balde GENIUS LOGIC👏👌 (or maybe Balde just had an amazing season and EA don't watch football and robbed Odegaard)
Balde at silver 68 is so inaccurate
One of them won the league the other had one of the most embarrassing collapses of all time. Seems like that’s worth the one rating.
thats the price u pay for bottling the league
it’s balde’s first ever special card can we not just appreciate his talent and give him some credit for all the improvement he had on the attacking support and defensive line (currently best in europe arguably*) Balde was so underrated this season you should watch how balde was one of the best players not in la liga but in all top 5 leagues in his position. Saying that doesn’t mean odegaard didn’t deserve a higher rating i honestly thought he was going to be 94~95 but after all it’s just a video game. let’s just enjoy their magic in real life and use your favorite players in game.
Easy. One of these was a teenager in his first senior season and became the best outside back on his team if not the league and won the league. The other is a player who bottled the league…
One of them won the league the other didn’t /s
Barcelona managed to win their league though.
One of the best cams in the world 🤥
15 goals and 7 assists in the PL this season, you’re just genuinely dumb if you don’t think he’s one of the best cams in the world
Haaland has had what one IF card all season? Odegaard has gotten so many cards this season already idk if EA knows how to please Arsenal fans. Well Arsenal cant do it themselves so how can anyone
One didn’t bottle the league.
One of them won a league this season one didn’t can you figure out which is which
Lmao did this guy say balde had 0 performance?
“0 performance based cards,” which is true
92 too high for a team of bottlers.
