Donnell McNeilly’s 21 goals and 6 assists in 19 appearances sounds decent.So, can anyone tell me how good Chelsea players are compared to ours? Looking at their players, I recognize Travis Akomeah, Ishe Samuels-Smith, Jimmy Jay Morgan, Josh Acheampong from FM game. All of them are playing at Prem level and I actually have Ishe on my team.
Ofcourse, it's just a game so I'm wondering are they all actually that good in real world as well? In comparison, that game rates only Lacey, Biancheri, Fitzgerald and Amass as Prem potential players from our bunch.
Kind of similar to our Wheatley. Should be a good contest then. Actually looking at them now, Akomeah and Ishe appear to be built like tanks for that level.
Chelsea always have a physically dominant side. The good thing about this season’s United is that we have dealt with physically strong opponents much better than in previous years.
It doesn’t apply to the u18s, we regularly overlap with the 12:30 Saturday PL kickoff and still broadcast.
Yeah I’ve noticed this too.
Just out of curiosity - why does the rule apply to the reserves, but not the U18 ? I mean it's completely stupid - but it makes even less sense that it doesn't apply to the u18s
Guess the U21s are considered professionals and U18s as youth players/games. Don’t know, it’s beyond stupid.
do you know if there are away tickets or only those ones in home end?
Guess they’ll only open one stand so all tickets are in the same stand? And if they sell enough tickets they’ll open another one?
I did the same and it was basically too hard to even put academy games for 7 days to watch later etc. Being in Australia I can't watch every game live at 11pm or midnight so we get a 4 minute highlights. In this day of age, not to put the game online for 7-14 days for fans to even watch it again (shocking)
From what I've read it seems Rio Ngmuoha is an insane talent. I don't know what his current season stats are mind but some of the FT i follow rate him very highly.So, can anyone tell me how good Chelsea players are compared to ours?

Just noticed that too. 2-5 defeat isn’t the best possible preparation to the final either. Obi-Martin with another hattrick
It was essentially an U16 game to be honest. Probably only 3 of that Chelsea squad will be involved in the final.Just noticed that too. 2-5 defeat isn’t the best possible preparation to the final either. Obi-Martin with another hattrick
Let’s hope Arsenal hold on to their lead and Chelsea have a couple of players sent off.

And the manager for one of the sides seems to be doing quite ok as well
About 10-12 players there have ended up playing top flight / second tier football in some capacity, that's actually very impressive for both Chelsea and United.
Think Fitzgerald is still out with an injury, same as Ibragimov.
I hadn't paid too much attention to Mantato until reading your comment. I was confused at first because I was pretty sure he came on and played as an LB in one of our recent games. And he showed nothing special during his stint there. So, I watched a few highlights of him and was shocked because he played really well at RW. His dribbling and close control are pretty good. Maybe he played LB in that game because we didn't have any other choices? But this guy might be one of our top U18 prospects at the moment, despite only being 16 years old.
Interestingly I think Mantato is considered one of the best LBs of his age group in the country, which makes him slotting in and excelling on the RW is equal parts hilarious and impressive.

He’s played both positions (and even CB I think) during his journey up the age groups so he’s quite comfortable whether it’s in defense or on the wing. For England he’s mostly played as a LB. One sub appearance is way too small a sample size to judge anyone anyway.

How so?
If we’re looking to put out our strongest team he would surely start ahead of Curley.
