[@christophs.9093]

It's a nice idea for a series and very enjoyable to play along. Using same players/routes is an issue though. I feel like there should be two marquee players per episode to prevent that from happening as 10 rounds on one player just seems a bit too much

It's insane just how wrong it is. Falcao hasn't played for Atleti since 2013. Suarez didn't join Atleti until 2020. It's the equivalent of saying that Craig Bellamy played with Diogo Jota at Liverpool

[@stefanotrinchero621]

Nice video and new series idea, you really hit off well, i mean for Jack ahaha anyway here are some tips that could improve this new series (hoping): you can only use player links once like ibrahimovic and wijnaldum if you draw on the number of "jumps" you could do another round or do it only if you do the same exact player jumps 30 seconds could be a bit too low, but you can do some special rounds to add or remove some of the time if there is 1 jump difference you could go for the base card of that player (except for icons or heros i guess) you should clarify if they have to had played together or just be in the same team in the same year also there could be an app or site to check automatically if the jumps are correct or not and outputting the years when they played together, i could make one like this comment so Andy can see it and maybe reply with some of the tweaks you think to the list i made

[@nickmahr3354]

Agree with pretty much all of this. Only minor change I’d say is maybe only use player links once for a given team. So you could do Salah-wijnaldum-Messi and Tammy-wijnaldum-Messi, since he was at Liverpool then Roma, but you couldn’t do lukaku-ibra-Messi, and rashford-ibra-Messi since they both have the link through United

[@lthecatt9667]

With Raul de Tomás, there is a 1 link. RDT was part of Real Madrid in 2015-2016, when Sergio Ramos also played. RDT --> Ramos --> Messi

[@ceblonja]

And the Falcão to Suarez is totally wrong

[@jeffram21]

I’m not sure if it’s correct but transfermarkt says de Tomas left Espanyol on September 13, 2022, and Braithwaite joined Espanyol on September 1, 2022

[@lucadekeijzer6519]

Love the concept! I feel like it is harder to chain a streak of players to link the marquee players instead of looking for the shortest way. Imo, it is more difficult to get a bigger chain so it might be an idea to reward the person with the longest connection.

[@jmfreak3139]

the thing with that is that u could go on forever. for example messi to wijnaldum to mane to salah to allison to konate to vvd to robertson to taa to diogo jota. u can just name players from the same team

The amount if ball knowledge in this video is the same as the amount of hair on The Rock's head.

[@joerogers1417]

This was a great video - i proper felt involved! Also agree with the rules of playing to downgrade opponents rather than against the game!

[@scottrobinson616]

I think this would work better combined with a pack in play, where one person opens packs and you agree on the best player in said pack. Then play the link game based on that player to the marque and the winner gets the best version of the card and the loser the worst. For example say it was Tammy Abraham, the winner could use the 92 and the loser would have to use the 82.

[@nEiKKah]

I like this concept, but I would say you should add more time and always check, even when 100% sure, to avoid terrible mistakes. Other than that, it is fun and interesting.

It could also be fun to have some “shotgun” players. Or just one even. Each player could write down one link to the marquee player that would trigger a discard or a downgrade. Would make for some good mind games.

[@harryjohnson7197]

Things to change. 1) No using same route multiple times, have to go completely different meaning you can't just chuck in 1 extra player. 2) If both players get it wrong then both get bronzes, not trump cards as both failed so clearly not as easy as when 1 person gets it. 3) Play ET and penalties, fed up of this sbsd rule of draws, one person only should suffer in the end. 4)If the other person fails their player you can put them on the bench as a sub, again only if they fail and you suceed. 5) If you end with a full squad of the players you wanted, will be very rare, you get a guaranteed shot at the other persons team at the end of the game, meaning you could lose but still get a discard on them or you could get 3 if the scorline was 2-0 win.

[@harryjohnson7197]

Also I feel like in discards, bronzes should be the player originally wanted, your fault for not getting the player and shouldn't be rewarded for losing and only discarding a bronze
