I also have this little experiment. CB that can't jump.
I've realized that the over 40% of conceded goals are from trough passes, not crosses, so, why not, I have him on cover dropping behind a bigger guy. I'll see if it works.
If it doesn't, no biggie, we only wasted 20 million.

Interesting question. Using Hegel's definition, art portrays the divine, the deepest interests and truths as something sensual and almost erotic. Elia's tattoo seems to be more of a directed (yet veiled) message with a clear envisioned recipient. As such, it would not qualify as art. Of course, using Hegel's rather narrow (and yet somehow flexible) definition we might also argue that a plethora of Brecht's plays are not art: Isn't "The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui" a play with a all-too-clear message as well? Why is this play considered art and Elia's tattoo not? Don't we live in an age where almost everything is considered art anyway, from generic pop songs and self-help books to German posters on /trb/?
Ultimately, art is like pornography, it's notoriously hard to pin down and yet, you just know it when you see it. Thus, the decision whether Elia's tattoo is art or not has to be taken by every individual on their own. And even more, consistent with Barthes's famous essay "The Death of the Author", it is also independent from Elia's judgement himself.
This is the life in the postmodern world: all decisions are to be taken by you and you alone. Standing in the void of overinformation and undereducation we are lonely animals yearning for a spark of guidance and a touch of tenderness.

I've been running into trouble when occasionally my team just doesn't get any shots and plays like shit.
So when it started to happen in a recent game I decided to go to full mode and watch. And it's fucking fascinating, because there's nothing particularly wrong, except for the fact that all of my players are playing like they're amateurs.
I've got players with 20 passing missing five yard passes to open teammates under no pressure, guys with 18 first touch having simple balls bounce off them like they're rubber. It's almost comical.
I just watched a defender with 18 composure and 17 concentration get the ball deep with no one around him and panic and hoof it out of bounds, even though we're in control mode with a "play out of defense" instruction. There was no one within 30 yards of him.
It honestly looks like the game arbitrarily took 10 off of every players attributes. Very bizarre.
