For me it’s the “oh, so that’s why I haven’t seen this guy in such a long time” XI
Think the ACL XI would be better in a 5-2-3 with Perisic as a LWB instead of a CM and Tyrone Mings as a CB instead of LB
Timber is shit on the wing. Play 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 for the real benefit
honestly my first thought too, this looks weird as hell
gavi-buendia midfield? you’ll get cooked by any decent team
If you’re building a club, make sure don’t use a blue circle with white inside it.
add me to this list, i’ll be happy to start off the bench
Ahh the “come back stronger” XI

It’s okay. Innfantino has brought football peace and order to his new Saudi empire. Players knees don’t matter.
What is happening to our beloved sport
Noted midfielder Ivan Perisic
Those are 11 ACLs worth half a billion pounds.
Is it me or we are getting more and more ACL tears across the all the physical sports lately.
What fancy move courtois played to torn acl. Seldom see keeper suffers this
Buendia at DM might just make this team tick
He’s actually a tenacious little shit and so might be able to learn to tackle well.
That Aston villa logo got me for a second,
People overtraining/playing, not resting enough and of course your ACL will take a hit. I feel bad that we treat people like machines
There’s not much of a training/playing load-injury relationship for ACL tears. It’s likely that just playing more games overall might increase the overall risk, as you just have more opportunities to do so, but you’re also getting the conditioning benefits from that (as long as you’re able to do it without picking up other injuries) that offset that increased risk somewhat as well.
There’s plenty of other injuries that are the near direct result of overtraining/overplaying. Bony stress injuries/stress fractures in younger players and tendon injuries (primarily tendinopathies, rather than tears) are the big ones, and are a major concern. ACL just isn’t really on that list.
