[Hugo Rune]

Currently managing the Albion in FM24, it's 2028 and we've just played Chelsea:

A goal and two assists from Barco. All the evidence I need that we should 100% sign him in real life in January!!

 

[Coldeanseagull]

I'm going to go with RDZ on this one, he seems to know what he's doing. I reckon he's picked the available players to play a certain way. I reckon more longer balls from the keeper down the flanks. Probably because he sees chelsea keeping a high line

Tough ask to get anything today - just hope no more injuries

The goal was an absolute rocket of a free kick too.

————-———Steele————————-
Veltman——JPvH——Igor—-Hinshelwood
———-Gilmour———-Baleba—————-
Buonanotte——-Lallana———-—-Adingra
———————Ferguson———————-

This is my take on the team line-up. Looking for at least a draw but hoping for a wonderful win and a move up the table.

 

[Frutos]

36% possession!? Are you playing Pulis ball?

4-4-2 Gegenpress with Joao Pedro and Fergie up front - seems to do alright.

 

[Krafty]

Let's please beat Chelsea

 

[Dick Head]

were defiantly loose

not unless its celery

Ferguson and his clone? We don’t have room for more than one player of that ilk. At some point, Buonanotte is going to click. RDZ has very little options with such crippling injuries. He has to take the gamble and hope the young Argentinian matches his potential some time soon.

Fair point, but I don’t have room for Buonanotte in my 11 either. Not because of his playing style, but mainly because he’s shite

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

We have very decent options off the bench.

Stay in this for an hour, then we'll have Gross, Pedro, Mitoma at the end to see the game out.

 

[Berty23]

I fear a villa style thrashing today. Come on Albion. Getting a point would be epic.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Looks like Chelsea are packing the midfield, using Villa’s blueprint against us.

 

[jcdenton08]

Be very happy with a point… that line up really worries me

 

[Bodian]

Both keepers know that they have two ‘on’ and two ‘off’.

Hasn't been quite like that though - Verbruggen has played four of the last five. Not sure if Steele was injured though?

 

[amexer]

I hope Veltman will get some help with Cucurela and Mudryk attackiong down the wing. Games like that with those type of players we miss Solly

Cucurella suspended, it’s Colwill

 

[dwayne]

Just got served by a mexican waiter who was absolutely buzzing for Brighton says we are far better than Chelsea and even with injuries we are much better. Knew most of the players. He had me so excited........ and then I looked at the teams again

 

[amexer]

We need Hughton to manage this one with stay in game for 70mins
