I should have realised you'd be on here :/

You usually manage to get a goal in our games despite him :p

perfect, it was just what I needed, now I direct and it's fine for me, you can put it in the federation but not here ;) too many eyes are watching

Sorry, playmaker :)

Apologies Triglio, I honestly forgot that Borkos was the Polish NT Manager. :(

I wouldn't have done it otherwise.......next time I will put it in the federation forum instead.

That's nonsense, you should share such nice players with everyone!

Seriously though, it doesn't really change much, don't beat yourself up so hard. Today every high level NT defender will be 17-18 in pace/def and with ~2.5m euro value he must have decent side skills and the [18]s are probable.

I know ;)

You probably have 5 or 6 better in Poland anyway lol

Yeah, but you wouldn't guess that by watching how they play...

I’d love to see the pool of players you have available one day. I bet it’s unbelievable.

Yeah, the sheer number of top players is amazing. I had a very strong group of players in Germany, but then every form drop of top att/wing/CM/def was an issue because the choice #2 was still fine, but #3/#4 had a much different quality

In Poland I can basically choose 11 top players that have 16-18 in form and same usually goes for the bench as well, unless there is some huge issue with one formation. CMs were terrible form/injury wise at last WC, now they are looking great, but suddenly there's an ATT injury/form issue - among top 15 ATTs only 4 have a form higher than 14, most have 0-11.

But overall yeah, the choices are so crazy that there's just a thin difference between a DM and the best defender (actually current best DM/CM played before as side defender before his skills fully flourished)

I’m pretty sure you must have some 5 x divine players? To have the depth you just said is crazy, I would think Romania must be the closest in terms of quality after Poland? Although Italy have the next biggest users, the numbers don’t see, realistic to me though as England can’t have 250 active users.

Nah, zero 5x 17 PL players since I took over, still some amazing mids but none of them is 5x divine.

Yeah I think it's Romania/Italy #2 in terms of depth. Actually surprised with almost 1k Italian users and only 500+ from Romania. I would guess it's a similar story with England's user base being inflated by some ad-campaigns.

If you look at users registered by week you can see when they pushed the campaigns.

England:
2025-06-11 24 +20
2025-06-16 25 +54
2025-06-23 26 +42

That's +106 users in 3 weeks, when it's usually +2/+4 weekly. And these are 90% ghost users of course.

Same in Italy:
2025-06-11 24 +62
2025-06-16 25 +169
2025-06-23 26 +92

+323 users in 3 weeks.

You don't have to apologize, I just personally don't like to publish the best players because I don't want the opponents to see their skills. The Polish coach is very good; the more great players he has, so the less he knows, the better. We also have a federation and we can share as many players as possible. The best Italian midfielder is 17, 16, 16, 16,16

Make some more notes of Dave Saka's skills:

I reckon if we are half the numbers being active it will be a surprise still.
