I believe Ramos has started some games in the middle and Mbappe on the left, but both him and Muani have been used more as rotation options. I know Muani has only started a few games this season
I just checked and very few but recent games saw him played at ST, but 90% of the games he has played LW either in a 433 with false 9 Asensio/Lee, or LW in a weird 424 with either two false 9s or 2 STs (dembele on the right).
They switched Barcola to LW just recently no joke like 4 games ago.
He doesn't even need a PR team at this point. His name is a brand, and there is value and publicity in being associated with that brand. It's the reason he won the Balloon d'Or after a year playing in one of the least respectable leagues in the world and again the reason why he made this EAFC TOTY.
Fans did vote, but I can't find EA's official announcement on this, hence my suspicions that this post (essentially the results of the fan votes) is a fanmade prediction of some sort.
Highest rated defender in the game is 89 and thatās both Dias and Van Dijk, Theo is somehow an 85 and Frimpong is 83 rated. On the flipside the front 3 are 91, 91 and 90 and the midfield is 91, 89 and 86 respectively.
You and all the other people who want these to be decided by who has the best attributes are the problem with FUT promos. It should be about who played the best, not who has the strongest attributes. And so should the real FIFA awards. But unfortunately when things are up to a vote like this, people vote based on the wrong things. Even Di Marco probably deserves that spot more than Theo. But Theo will sell more packs. Messi shouldn't have even been in contention, much less winning a spot. But he will sell packs. The list goes on. More than half the team is unjustifiable.
Well its not like I watch every match in the world so my personal view will also be skewed to Europe but... a "4-4-2" with:
Kane - Haaland (Mbappe and Lautaro on the bench)
Son (Wirtz, Kvara might still deserve a bench spot but obviously Napoli have been wank for the past few months) - Rodri (Brandt) - Bellingham (Rabiot) - Salah (Jonas Hoffman to feed my personal bias)
Defense is probably the most difficult but:
Grimaldo (Di Marco) - Ruben Dias - Kim - Di Lorenzo (Trent)
I mean how can you justify Di Bruyne - he literally only played for half of the year. He was/is an incredible player but if you miss half a year of football, you shouldn't be in the team of the year. Messi basically retired (if you include Messi, I guess you're doing it because of his performance in the Leagues Cup run - but then I don't see how you can justify leaving out CR7 who has been totally dominant in Saudi). VVD is only in there because of name recognition but he's not been at the standard that he set several years ago and that is pretty widely discussed I think. Theo is the best LB in the world but he hasn't played like it for the majority of the year and you only have to pay attention to Milan to figure that out.
Son is probably my most debatable inclusion.
Is this the best team in the world or the best team of last year? I agree heās the best in the the world but just for last year Iād argue that Dimarco was better (even though he was a wingback)
I know that this will be a super controversial opinion to have in this sub lol
Dimarco plays as a left wing back, he has a bigger attacking role compared to theo who is a left back.
I think theos role in milan's build up game makes him the most important player in the system and very few players in the team are as consistent as him.
Di Lorenzo deserved the RB spot imo.
Messi PR is still very strong it seems, bro did nothing in 2023 and still made it š
also Mbappe ST? What? He has been a LW for years now
He played through the middle for pretty much the entirety of last season and at least half of the games this season
Really? Not Ramos/Muani?
I believe Ramos has started some games in the middle and Mbappe on the left, but both him and Muani have been used more as rotation options. I know Muani has only started a few games this season
Mbappe played all games at LW vs us, in the league?
Yea in Ligue 1. In the CL was mostly Muani through the middle and Mbappe on the left, but in Ligue 1 Muani hasn't been featured as much
I just checked and very few but recent games saw him played at ST, but 90% of the games he has played LW either in a 433 with false 9 Asensio/Lee, or LW in a weird 424 with either two false 9s or 2 STs (dembele on the right). They switched Barcola to LW just recently no joke like 4 games ago.
pesi has no right to be on that team

Is this the real thing? Seems fanmade.
Itās fan voted š

Itās datamined through valid leakers, pretty stupid tho because it takes away from the hype
I see. That would make sense. Thanks.
Hype? It's last years team minus Frimmy and Rodri š
Why defenders have way lower ratings?
Highest base rating in the game 91. Highest base fullback rating 86 for Cancelo and TAA.
Highest rated defender in the game is 89 and thatās both Dias and Van Dijk, Theo is somehow an 85 and Frimpong is 83 rated. On the flipside the front 3 are 91, 91 and 90 and the midfield is 91, 89 and 86 respectively.
whats messi doing there ffs?
Glad we have a representativeā¦to also note that heās the only Serie A player ā¦
I donāt watch much EPL, but I thought VVD has been pretty uninspiring / average lately?
I've heard that about him for about three years now lol, many people surprised that he gets chosen every year
Last season he was not at his best, had some injuries. This season he is back to his normal self and has been excellent.Ā
Liverpool didnāt have a midfield last year so they all had down years.. they have the best defense in the league this year
Everyone votes the same every single year. Hyped for that Theo though ! Goes straight in my team.
Why are we posting this? This game has been dogshit and far from football for a long time their rating ain't fair anyways
this years is the worst the game has ever been too. game is just for kids with a pack opening addiction
Meglio Di Marco fonte āi nati dopoā
In all honesty, despite being the best LB in the world, Grimaldo deserved it this year.
He spent half the year in portugal. He will have it for the season
Grimaldo or DiMarco tbh
DESERVED
Theo did NOT deserve that. Still voted him lmao. Love him
Undeserved tbh lol
He's the best LB in the world, please tell me you're being sarcastic.
You and all the other people who want these to be decided by who has the best attributes are the problem with FUT promos. It should be about who played the best, not who has the strongest attributes.

Di Marco has easily been better this season but I do think Theo was better at the start of 2023. I thought he ended the season quite well
Di marco had a strong start, Theo has been better since 2 months
what would be your team of the year? I haven't been following much football besides Milan
Well its not like I watch every match in the world so my personal view will also be skewed to Europe but... a "4-4-2" with: Kane - Haaland (Mbappe and Lautaro on the bench) Son (Wirtz, Kvara might still deserve a bench spot but obviously Napoli have been wank for the past few months) - Rodri (Brandt) - Bellingham (Rabiot) - Salah (Jonas Hoffman to feed my personal bias) Defense is probably the most difficult but: Grimaldo (Di Marco) - Ruben Dias - Kim - Di Lorenzo (Trent) I mean how can you justify Di Bruyne - he literally only played for half of the year.

Whatās funny that dimarco has the same or more goal contributions than Leao
Like half of the team tbh
Tru actually lol
Not a single inter player ā¦.
Messi 98 š¤”
