Great strikers, but not the hanger you'd hang the rest of your outfit on. As much as Lewandowski tries he can never take Poland far, in a way that Messi can with Argentina or Ronaldo has done with Portugal. And the same goes for Harry Kane: a striker is as good as the supply he gets.
And Bayern always have a relatively conservative start to their seasons. Second half of the season, it will go as smooth as a rodant's treadmill and they'll add another title, you'll see.
I get your point, and I feel the same about a player such as Erling Haaland. Great goal scorer, yes, but he lacks this ability to create things for himself, which is why I also don't believe he should be considered as a favourite for the Ballon d'Or. Despite scoring 54 goals in 54 games, or whatever the stat was. Disappearing in big games, while also relying so hard on his teammates, I just don't rate him as one of the best footballers.
I disagree that Harry Kane is the same "limited" type of striker though. He does in deed drop down in midfield quite often, making himself available in the buildup play etc., making the surrounding players perform better too. On the contrary, I do actually find the last years' version of Cristiano Ronaldo to be rather limited. Great goal scorer, yes, but doesn't do much else IMO. That wasn't the case in his youth, of course, but in recent years I've seen him turn into more of a great goal scorer than a great overall footballer.
Is everybody on an FC24-holiday, or so? Very quiet in the last week...

No holiday here, except not being able to post recently. I still haven't been able to access my Sampdoria files on my dead laptop, so that one is still sleeping. In stead I've come quite a way with Rangers, and while I initially didn't plan to make a story about that one, I may have changed my mind and will try to make a quick and rather fast-paced summary of the first season with them.
No holiday here, I'm just getting over having the flu for the last week. It's been a few years since I was actually sick so it kind of knocked me out. Just getting ready to do a few updates now.

Unfortunately I have just been really busy and haven't had much time to sit and play and whilst I already have a little bit to write up and I didn't wanna venture any further without posting updates.
Playing FUT when I do get a little time half an hr here and there prefer to give CM a little more focus when playing
Strange. I won the cup semi final in a penalty shootout. 12-11 (awful goalkeepers on both sides) vs Celtic. Then, as the season was about to end, I realized I had no cup final coming up. I went in a saw that Celtic had apparently qualified to the final with an 11-8 win on penalties in the semi final against me.
Firstly, that was NOT what happened in the semi final (I have proof).
And secondly, how was anyone to win 11-8 in a penalty shootout anyway?
Have you coincedentally interrupted the career, and when coming back and opened up the career maybe entered a previous autosave instead of the most recent savegame?

Nope, nothing like that. I also only have one autosave slot in this game, used to have three in FIFA games. Don't know if this is the case for everyone across platforms?
But no. I played the game, 3-3 full time, penalties. 12-11 there, both teams had one player to shoot twice, before one kick was finally missed. And the standings now say 3-3 full time, 11-8 on pens.
I do like your effort to try and find some meaning with it though. I tend to do the same thing. "But have you considered...?" But no, it's just their coding gone wrong or something like that. Just to remove any last piece of doubt, this is a screenshot of the last shooters, followed by the "standings", showing the incorrect winners of the game. With a score that is also impossible to achieve in a penalty shootout, only shooting one at the time after that first five attempts.

That is weird. Although, if it would happen in my career, I would try to write around it - like in F1 results sometimes change afer the race due to disqualification or penalties. So, here apparently you had four players that were doped, man: The Scottish FA decided to erase those four from the penalty-shoutout results and voila: 11-8 to Celtic 😃
