11 - Raphinha

Very true. It's one of the reason Flick's system should work better for him. It's not as positional as Xavi's.

He's more dangerous when he receives the ball in speed, in the channels that he creates with his constant movement. If he has to stop, often stand in his spot and wait for the ball to get to him... he loses a lot of the advantages of his elite workrate.
He is good at creating seperation off the ball. If you let him oppose his marker off the ball and create space with his running, he can do it, and he'll often be open.

The problem is the ball slows him down a lot, he is really much slower with the ball than he is without it. So it's best to let him run until he's close to the goal to give him the ball.

However he's also good at playing passes from deep as a playmaker if he has time.

I would prefer prime Fati with Raphinha on the right than Lamine and Raphinha.
The kid needs some resting after all and to play like 50 minutes not 90.
Fati has no creativity or dribbling skill. He used to score as most of his shots for some reasons turned into goals. I think there are users here already explained this before.

Fati on the wing is just waste of time. Either he learns to play as a 9 or leaves.

It's easier to score when Messi is feeding you with a golden spoon on a lot of those

The lesser he's on the ball the better. I bet big teams will allow him to be on the ball as much as possible compared to Olmo, Yamal etc. He's not the one to create brilliance out of nothing as he's dependent on others.

It's not a bad thing if you have others capable of doing that. Sort of like Pedro and how you don't build a team around him but rather how he can support others and improve the team in general.

Good on the ball or not, last I checked he is very good at providing assist.

Frenkie or Olmo


But I am confused. Only captains are allowed to speak to ref. So that would be Ter Stegen. So don’t know what this field delegate bull is supposed to be.

It is nothing tbh.

Ter Stegen is GK, so him running half the pitch to speak to referee doesn't make sense.

The vice captains are Araujo, Frenkie and Raphinha in that order. With Araujo and Frenkie out, Raphinha is now 2nd captain and the first one in outfield players.

Ok, I just thought first captain was allowed. Now I am reading all captains.
