Most of us have more burgers than goals, but for Eden that just means he's had over 200 burgers, which is a lot but still not a weird number.

Currently 79 rated in H2H.

17 goals in 25 league appearances you'd think he'd have picked up more performance based cards than the one inform.

Tottenham are "in talks" to sign him.

NO TIME TO EXPLAIN, TAKE OFF YOUR PANTS (get your wallet and keys out first), PUT MY PANTS ON AND GO START THE CAR.

His last special card was FIFA 22.

Twelve

Acrobatic+ is neat, especially when his base card doesn't have any acrobatic playstyle. 75 volleys feels a bit low, but it's up from 58, so +17 from his base card, which is neat but would it be cool if he got like, 87 volleys, and any future informs, if they weren't for a likely goal of the season bike goal, had significantly lower volleys? I guess in this scenario all or at least the most significant performance based special cards would get their stat boosts that reflect how they played in the game/s the card is for, which would be cool, to feel like EA is engaged that much with the sport.

I know it's hyperbole, but Joe does have 15 appearances so far this season.

Good observation. He took just 2 corners (I don't know how to check free kicks without actually watching football and counting) but both his goals were from open play. I'd be neat if EA had earned a reputation of adjusting performance based special cards in that much detail, like where an inform or ones to watch card could have playstyles added for bending their shots or even being especially press resistant or jumping over another gentleman.

Ratio debriefing

Search your feelings.

Probably flew.His last contract at Sociedad was a 5 year one (since 2018), and it sounds like he had another contract offer there, but maybe moving to the MLS (at 33, though I know a lot of players stay relevant in Spain beyond that) just made sense for his plans winding down his career and life after that.

He seems like he's always been at least pretty good at passing at Liverpool, but if things keep working like they have so far this season (4 assists in 5 games), he'd get 30 assists (if my math checks out) and people will take notice.It's also kinda encouraging that each of his assists this season have been to a different player (Núñez, Díaz, Gakpo and Robertson).

Still the only gold outfield one star weak foot.

Lovely Gerrard'd header for Cushion!

That seems statistically unlikely, but good for them if their workplace is that supportive/tolerant.

Yeah, I feel like it's good that such an important member of the club gets such a big payday elsewhere, at a time when they'd be parting ways with the starting eleven they'd been such a vital part of. It's regrettable that it comes at such a cost for vulnerable members of society, but I hope that all the conversations his decision have stirred up can be valuable.

Yeah but scoring 35% as many goals and getting relegated when you're hitting your later thirties is sending EA some signals they aren't going to gloss over. He had a flashback card in 23, it'll be sad if his End of an Era card is in the Championship (though hopefully all special cards will be premium or chemistry will be gone altogether by the time he retires).

"Be a Scottish left-back" they said...
