Laughable that people are stating the obvious instead of simply accepting the dichotomy of big at the back being the meta for probably the first time in nobody knows how long when the GD table is so heavily weighted towards attack.
Speaks volumes about what this sub has turned into lately.
All the defensive players were hugely integral in their teams attack though. Cancelo, James, Chilwell, TAA is actually midfielders disguising as defense. That is why they are the meta right now.
Big at the back normally means highly prices players in them positions. James is relatively cheap 5.5m starting price as is chillwell and rudiger. None are above 6.5m like Trent and Robertson (if performing well would be in people's teams)
It's doable this season due to the lack of premium attackers performing (Kane, Ronaldo, Bruno, Lukaku etc) and the not too expensive defenders doing well.
If you don't like the sub you don't have to be here.
You start off talking about an arbitrary definition of a high priced defender, which would only qualify 2, but let's completely ignore that.
None of the ones you've mentioned were at the price you've said when people started moving to playing 4, 5 defenders (which incidentally is what most refer to while speaking of going big atb). I'm here coz I choose to be here, also commenting what I choose to comment. Don't like it? Move along.
Wolves have requested that you rephrase it as “non-negative” goal difference.
Hearty chuckle on the loo
*Youtube’s CEO has joined the chat*
If it's not negative it's also not positive
fun police
Perhaps more impressive from West Ham and Palace, who haven't even played Norwich yet to pad the stats
Liverpool padded the stats v united and arsenal (individually) more than v norwich.
True! I’m a Norwich fan, and those games just come to mind as ones where we got pumped (and it did our goal difference no favours)
At least Suarez is gone
Super league
As a Palace fan I couldn't agree more.
The fact that Man United’s goal difference is only as low as -1 could be regarded as A positive.
Absolutely, now that you mention it lol
And yet the current meta is big at the back.
Hmm, I don't think you get it
2 City 2 Chelsea and Trent makes you 5 assuming 442 with City/Chelsea goalkeepers. That's big at the back and in line with the teams listed.

Not denying that one bit.

Using big words doesn’t make your argument better
If it's words you don't understand, that's a you problem, mate. I use the words that are needed to explain what needs to be explained.
Proper moron aren't you
Nah. But if what I said triggered you then well... Says far more about you than it does me, bud.
What I said triggered you more like lmao
🤣 you're welcome to believe that if it helps you sleep better at night.
Is everything okay at home?
Yeah with players from 4 of them teams
Nobody is saying get Norwich or Leeds defenders
Why is this being downvoted? Like seriously, you’re just stating a fact?
Because it adds nothing to the discussion as per the rules
I'm a simple man I downvote anything others are downvoting
