What he said ^^. Sad part is this is the most “if you can’t beat them, join them” game in years. There’s not really a “rat” mechanic or formation this year but it actually is worse because now there is rat players and mechanic abuse. In the days where formation and certain types of shots used to make me mad I could still find games in div 1-3 where guy didn’t do elastico, trivela, finesse, cut back, juggle and volley, all game.
Now, because the market is effed, and wins are hard to come by, literally everyone in div2 I face is running Pina as a striker an some CAM with incisive, fast (mostly women) wingers and tries the same play ALL FREAKING GAME. Ping to striker-> move ball to wing-> pass back to CM-> bullet pass to Pina that she traps like it’s a marshmallow-> spin a few times-> goal.
worst part is Pina doesn’t have a ++ as a striker, she’s got average stats. Somehow she plays the best through balls, and outruns everyone though…
