johnyb Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Portuguese Community in Winnipeg: 60% Benfica 30% Porto 10% Sporting Winnipeg tends to have a lot of Immigration from Minho (Province in Northern Portugal) which might explain the larger support for Porto. Love having Eustaquio at Porto now, most local Portuguese hadn't even heard of Pacos. Cheeta, Xavier., Obinna and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryker911 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Oliveira transferred to Galatasary is a bit of a surprise. That's 3 centre midfielders that have left this summer with no new replacements. Stephen is certainly going to get opportunities to start. Shway, GasPed, Corazon and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InglewoodJack Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Yeah he played the first half, that’s awesome. Not sure if that’s the A squad or B team or if Porto mixed starters and bench/depth guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not based on club coefficient anymore. The top 7 leagues have their champion go to pot 1. Its the same reason Lille was in Pot 1 last year. On 7/7/2022 at 7:22 AM, Unnamed Trialist said: Didn't realize that. So true, but they're still a powerhouse. Probably the best team out of the big five leagues in Europe. The Pot 1 seeding will probably lead to an improved coefficient though, as they'll in theory face weaker teams in their group. So it will feed back on itself a bit. And yeah, I was thinking that if there's a club outside the "Big 5" leagues that might still be able to win the Champions League, Porto would be one of the favorites. johnyb and narduch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair they would be in Pot 2 the old way. So they would get a decent draw anyways probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InglewoodJack Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 89 for Eustaquio?!? What is he doing at a poverty club like Porto and not in the prem?

I played a Career Mode with Bayern, bought him and played him a ton and he ‘grew’ above 80… for some reason ‘big clubs’ like Barca & ManCity wanted to buy him… so u never know.

PiedPilko Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) Starting today vs Monaco. I missed the first half but he's getting better reviews from Porto fans than I've ever seen Edited July 23, 2022 by PiedPilko DeRo_Is_King, Ruffian, Corazon and 10 others 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acid-Tone Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Started the game today: Porto hosting Monaco. Porto are playing what mostly looks like 442 defending, and a bit more like 433 in possession. Stephen has been playing well. He’s partnered with Uribe in the middle CM(L) and when Porto are attacking it seems Uribe has been the one to drop back and have more defensive responsibilities. So that’s allowed Stephen to be active, make some good runs and get some shots from distance off. Still 0-0 at half with the players coming back on the field now.

Acid-Tone Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Subbed out in the 58th minute (along w/Bruno Costa) as Porto brought some fresh legs into midfield in the form of Otavio & Grujic. johnyb and blueseeka 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeoH037 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 I have a feeling he will be getting a lot more playing this time season. Just getting to spend pre season alone with the club is huge (a luxury he didn't have the last time). There's a reason why they gave him a 5 year contract.
