EA Sports La Liga 2022/23

Majority of the clubs got hit hard with the pandemic and will probably take years to recover.

This whole "economic lever" thing is the worst thing to come out of this year's transfer season. Football journalism is such a lazy thing.

Trying to keep updated with the ins n outs of the various clubs, so Valencia went for another high profile name Gattuso, but cant help feel its another risky bet? Also sold Guedes to Wolves for 27M, just very stuff as usual. I imagine Gattuso arent cheap n yet they are selling one of their stars for money?

Diego Costa joins Forlan at Rayo also interesting one

Atletico Madrid got Axel Witsel for free, I used to be a fan but he seems to have aged n slowed quickly, so lets see if he can get back anywhere his best or just warm the bench or something... also Saul n Morata is back so should make them stronger.

All but Betis and Barca have now registered their players. Barca have now sent in the papers after activating the 4th lever.

You mean Falcao, right?

Yea

Frenkie dropped for the Liga opener

Does Xavi not like Fati? He's 10x the goalscorer of Dembele and Raphina

Falcao on the bench. Would've loved him against the mental midgets in the center of Barca's defence

Fati been injured for most of 2022

Kounde not fully fit, and we're still on the market for a new RB

Xavi doesn't like Araujo as a CB it seems. Always has him playing RB.

Fati has been back for a while since May. How much time off does he need. He didn't start any games with the starters in preseason wither. Xavi probably sees him as an impact sub which he isn't good at anyways. He will be a player to look out for next summer for sure. QSG will come calling. They've been after a LW for awhile now with Vini and now Rashford.

Ansu is not for sale lol. They see him as the future #10 cmon, he just needs to find rhythm but there's fierce competition on the wings



I think Xavi would prefer Araujo at CB but again, necessity.

The RBs will be Roberto + new signing if/when Dest is sold

Dembele should have seen a red card

He was actually late with his late tackle (believe it or not) and only connected with his knee.

Painful tackle obviously but yellow is fair.

Seriously how good is Pedri.

FDJ should play instead of Gavi tbh.

Raphina with 69% pass accuracy. Bet Dembele is happy

Lewa with a bleh half. Barca obviously need a better RB than Araujo so that they can start putting some decent crosses in. Lewa with only 1 shot all half

Rayo should've scored. Same old same old Barca imo

there was a penalty on raphinha they just glossed over it

Raphinha is trash.

Who is this Ciss lad. MOTM so far. My word, the Barca players can't take the ball off him

Again Rayo should have scored. Argh

Raphinha is incapable of beating his man. You're telling me this guy was running roughshod in the PL?

huge waste of money, Barca above his lvl, his level was mid table in the PL

Big man Kessie on

He honestly was not tbh.

Busquets is so finished, deadbeat

everyone was awful today

Barcelona selling their club and activating 10 economic levers to sign a wannabe from Serie Zz, a 34 year old Bundesfodders retiree and a mid table EPL donkey. And drawing to Rayo at Spotify Camp
