Rosters for TGM26 are now effectively locked for teams that qualify, since the start of Cycle #3. If you are an org looking to pick teams up, the best ones WILL get snagged soon. This one is a very good bet to go all the way. #1 in AMER atm and only just getting started

@Pacolem1 What if The Finals is already my favourite FPS tho

Your favorite FPS could never create a moment like this.

I reiterate:

@MeiaArmador__ Lets just score more goals than them

It is clear after Liverpool's game against Sunderland that Iraola will have the exact same approach as he did at Bournemouth. Despite the significant improvement we will see in pressing intensity compared to Slot, I think Liverpool are going to struggle defensively unless we see some adaptations from Iraola. The first concern I have is how fixed he is on a zonal press. The approach is has similarities in idea to Slot's, despite what people might think, although Iraola is significantly better at coaching the intensity. It works very well when the opposition are more positionally fixed with less mobility, as you can plan hand-offs and jumps, mainly through the -1 player, in a choreographed manner based on the opposition's structure. However, when the opposition are more mobile and less positionally fixed, it causes much more confusion because the jumps cannot be choreographed. In these moments, a team has to be patient and sit zonally, something that Arsenal do incredibly well, but Iraola's teams look to trigger the press much more frequently. Confusion in these jumps usually leads to gaps between the midfield and defence, something the likes of Ten Hag and Slot became infamous for. It is actually one of the main reasons why man-to-man approaches have become dominant in elite football. The biggest concern I have is the rest defence. Iraola sets up with wide full-backs who are free to commit high and usually end up in a 2-2-6 or even a 2-1-7 when the 8 joins the attack. It is very important to note that these rest-defence issues have not been exposed as frequently as they potentially could have been at Bournemouth, since they did not spend huge periods in settled possession. At Liverpool, opponents will defend deeper, and Liverpool will spend much longer sustaining attacks in the opposition half. As a result, the rest-defence structure becomes much more important. The intriguing part is that this issue cannot be solved without Iraola completely changing his ideas. The mobility and dynamism afforded to his players, which make Iraola's teams so devastating when attacking large spaces, are essentially what make his rest defence exposed. Putting in a more rigid, compact rest-defence structure would also have a major impact on the ideas with the ball. That is why I don't expect anything to change in this regard. This is not to say Iraola cannot succeed at Liverpool. There is still a long way to go, and coaches adapt. However, if we continue to see the exact same Iraola as we did at Bournemouth, I struggle to see how Liverpool consistently competes for the league with him.

The new in-game explainer videos are excellent additions, particularly for Cashout 👌 Side note: I may be wrong here, but is this the first time that the term "third partying" has ever been used officially in game?

Did anyone else notice that the"Key Change" emote in THE FINALS S11 is a clear reference to Kraftwerk's "The Model"? Almost an exact reharm of the original - very similar synth sounds and rhythms, but made to fit the chord progression of every musical emote in the game! 🎹

@Schnobben @aztr4ct Yet another reminder that literally everyone involved in The Finals broadcasts seems to be a musician. Stockholm jam session when
