All of the times I’ve laughed at Pop’s terrible teams, and it’s been many, are going to come back and bite me in the ass
this for me as well since I picked several young guys, but more damning was the stars I drafted early who for some reason performed dismally. To have Koulibaly, Kroos, and Koke grade out in the 5's for the season is just mystifying

I’ll be consulting with someone to determine awards and TOTS then will post them later For now, here is the final table and stat leaders
Young Player of the Year (24 or younger) Shortlist Julian Brandt - CAM - Inter Anthony Martial - LW - IFK Göteborg Lautaro Martínez - ST - SL Benfica Winner Spoiler Lautaro Martínez 15 G, 4A, 6.8 match rating
POTY Shortlist Heung-Min Son - LW - Ajax Paulo Dybala - RW - Atlanta United Alassane Plea - ST - Manchester City Eden Hazard - LW - Real Madrid Winner is Spoiler Alassane Plea 23 G, 5A, 7.4 match rating
Pogba showing up when it matters most to carry us to safety. Add that to the earlier silverware and I consider this season an absolute win
They're very good posters and I'm sure an even better human beings but I'll damned if zeb & bankz aren't god awful at this
TOTS I got with ChileanNole for assistance to make sure I had an unbiased 2nd opinion Starters Spoiler GK - Anthony Lopes - Atlanta United - 15 clean sheets, 6.8 rating, 30 goals allowed LB - Alex Telles - Atlanta United - 14 clean sheets, 2 goals, 6.8 rating CB - Marc Bartra - Atlanta United - 15 clean sheets, 1 goal, 2 assists, 6.8 rating CB - Mats Hummels - Atlanta United - 15 clean sheets, 1 assist, 6.8 rating RB - Cesar Azpilicueta - Atlanta United - 13 clean sheets, 1 goal, 1 assist, 6.8 rating Midfielder - Fabinho - Manchester City - 15 clean sheets, 2 goals, 3 assists, 6.7 rating Midfielder - Kevin De Bruyne - FC Barcelona - 13 goals, 6 assists, 6.8 rating Attacker - Hueng-Min Son - Ajax - 20 goals, 2 assists, 7.1 rating LW - Eden Hazard - Real Madrid - 15 goals, 9 assists, 7.1 rating ST - Alassane Plea - Manchester City - 23 goals, 5 assists, 7.4 rating RW - Paulo Dybala - Atlanta United - 17 goals, 5 assists, 7.2 rating Bench Spoiler GK - Samir Handanović - Borussia Dortmund - 15 clean sheets, 6.6 rating, 32 goals allowed Defender - Matthias Ginter - Borussia Dortmund - 15 clean sheets, 2 goals, 6.6 rating Defender - Marcelo - FC Barcelona - 9 clean sheets, 5 goals, 1 assist, 6.7 rating Midfielder - Julian Brandt - Inter - 14 goals, 5 assists, 6.5 rating Winger - Lorenzo Insigne - Stoke City - 14 goals, 8 assists, 6.6 rating Winger - Philippe Coutinho - Atlanta United - 13 goals, 7 assists, 7.1 rating ST - Cristiano Ronaldo - Inter - 16 goals, 7 assists, 7.0 rating
Your back 5 was the easiest call. Your midfield/attack was too balanced for individual recognition. You scored the most goals but it was more spread out
Worst XI GK - Pau Lopez - DC United - 11th round pick. 1 clean sheet in 22 starts, 5.9 rating. (While out injured backup Bill Hamid has 3 in 16) Fullback - Kieran Trippier - Werder Bremen - 9th round pick. 4 clean sheets, 5.8 rating Fullback - Marcos Acuña - Tottenham Hotspur - 7th round pick. 2 goals, 6 clean sheet, 6.2 rating. CB - Kalidou Koulibaly - Fulham - 1st round pick. 8 clean sheets, 5.7 rating CB - Felipe - Bordeaux - 6th round pick. 1 goal, 4 clean sheets, 5.9 ratings Midfielder - Toni Kroos - Fulham - 2nd round pick. 2 goals, 2 assists, 9 clean sheets, 5.8 rating Midfielder - N’Golo Kanté - Werder Bremen - 2nd round pick. 1 assist, 4 clean sheets, 5.8 rating CAM - Marco Reus - Stoke City - 2nd round pick. 4 goals, 1 assist, 6.3 rating Winger - Angel Correa - Bayern - 3rd round pick. 1 goal, 3 assists, 6.2 rating Winger - Douglas Costa - Milan - 4th round pick. 3 goals, 5.8 rating ST - Josef Martínez - Milan - 2nd round pick. 2 goals, 1 assist, 6.3 rating
Guys who got benched were tough to judge but there’s an argument. In 20 matches, he had 1 goal, 0 assists and a 6.0 rating. Had he played the whole season and not improved, he would’ve been the pick. Reus played the whole season without getting hurt and put up 4G, 1A as a 2nd rounder
Here’s best I can do on stats. It doesn’t let you view them after the final match is played so had to reload from before that match
bwi2 checking out the lineup situation ahead of time so we’re ready for sim match later. Martial still injured so you’ve got Pépé at LW. Silva benched for Pepe. Maddison at LCM, Sissoko on bench and Eriksen in reserves. Good with all of those changes still?
Yeah going Acuna/WanBissaka was not a good move in 19, both are solid in 20. All good, this was still fun. Appreciate all your hard work Shaun, cheers mate. Wish we could turn this into a continuous sim league of some kind, kinda like the bball one we have with TMBSL. (for any bball fans interested check it out - https://tmbsl5.proboards.com - Playoffs are today so popping in after 3 PM EST today could be fun)
bwi2 I might not be right at 4:15 but I should be able to get it started early. I’ll post the link before I start
Yes. It’s back up now but I know you said easier to ignore kid for 15 minutes than 40 so I was going to shoot for tomorrow or Monday around 4:30
let’s ride (I probably won’t be able to chat during the game - watching on phone and it freezes the stream when I switch back and forth)
City strike first. Promes fires a rocket near post from edge of the 6 yard box that Courtois can’t handle. Bounces up, hits the underside of the bar and in
City attack down the right and Plea puts a cross on the penalty spot where Promes is cutting in for a header 2-0 City
