    I don’t disagree with anything you’re saying but gotta give a huge :meh: on using whoscored

    More explosive than any striker in our pool, able to beat people off the dribble, not Dike sized but big enough to not get pushed around, and actually skilled with his feet to a degree that minimizes the service that he needs

    No idea if he’s ready but none of the other players are even close too so would rather give him a shot and see what happens

    if he sucks then you’ve got a super talented player for the 2026 pool

    Also Balogun fits much better with the system Greg likes to play than Dike

    I was just looking for stats so don’t see why it matters where they come from. The match rating is whatever and didn’t need included

    Nothing but ignorance to not have Vazquez in the #9 conversation. Now that he’s got the Atlanta stench off of him he’s dominant.

    From what I could find, that was only the 2nd goal and 3rd goal contribution in the Old Firm Derby by an American.

    Edu scored a winner and Hyndman assisted in a draw.

    Still not sure CCV would be on my roster but he’s probably done enough the last couple years to deserve another shot though.

    Could've sworn Bedoya scored in one too, but oh well. And I figured Reyna did some good in a few of them

    I hadn’t even seen your post and wasn’t trying to call you out or anything, was just trying to dive in.

    From what I was able to find, Reyna only had 1 goal for Rangers and it was that huge UCL goal

    perhaps a 7 person battle for 4th CB spot (assuming Zimmerman, Robinson, and Richards are top 3): Erik Palmer Brown, Long, CCV, Brooks, Miazga, McKenzie, and Sands.

    Pepi forced a nice save just before half for what would’ve been 2-0

    .25 xG / .83 xGoT which means great save and I can’t blame Pepi for missing that one

    That was a fantastic 1-2 by Pepi that is likely a goal if played back to him but can’t fault them since they scored

    Does Pepi’s good game even count considering the CB he was able to play against?

    Pepi definitely looks like he belongs which isn’t insignificant but that this is his best game of the year and getting people hyped says more about the shitshow that is the 9 position for us
