00:00The February Cash Cup, the third and final of its kind.
00:04And after finishing top 64 and top 32 in the previous ones,
00:09we now sit in 22nd in the European rankings.
00:13The objective today is to place as high as possible to break into the top six,
00:18as the top six will be one step closer to the World Cup.
00:22It is actually game time already,
00:24so we're going to get sat down playing and straight into this.
00:27Right, lads, Tom's just gone for an absolute whazz.
00:31Is that the word?
00:32Yeah, I'd say that.
00:34Boys, I'm saying it quietly here.
00:36I feel like Tom is going to do absolutely unbelievable this weekend.
00:40I am so ready.
00:42I just feel like this is going to be his tournament.
00:43I feel like he's going to absolutely cut people up.
00:46And I just know he is.
00:48I'm on the point.
00:51I'm going to let him know that this happened.
00:53Wait, wait, wait.
00:53Before I start playing, we need to build a team.
00:57And this time, EA have gone crazy with the team restriction,
01:00so I can build basically the best team.
01:02And starting in net, we have future stars Yashin.
01:05I said the best team.
01:06We've got the best goalkeeper.
01:07His play styles are unbelievable.
01:10And I promise you, far reach is the most important one in the game right now.
01:13You need your goalkeeper to have 1v1 close down and far reach.
01:16That is all.
01:17And at right back, we've got an interesting one, Denzel Dumfries.
01:21Now, when I packed him, I didn't think he was going to be this good,
01:24but he's actually one of the best right backs on the game.
01:26He's got pace.
01:27He's got strength.
01:28And he's OK on the ball.
01:30That is all I need.
01:32But before I go on to my center backs, the squad restrictions are as follows.
01:36You're allowed up to three team of the year or icon players,
01:40one hero, four players rated 91 or above that are not team of the year, icon or heroes.
01:46And all other players must be rated 90 or below.
01:49And one other key note.
01:51If you don't want to use a hero, you can replace him with another 91 plus.
01:55So if I have five 91 pluses and no hero, that is allowed.
02:00And as usual, loan items are allowed.
02:03Our first center back we have.
02:07Now, you're probably wondering why Erling Haaland is at center back,
02:10but EA gave him a center back card because of Winter Wildcards.
02:14And it turns out he's like the best center back on the game,
02:16mainly because of how quick he is.
02:18At left back, my least surprising inclusion.
02:20Every ultimate team has this player at left back, Theo Hernandez.
02:25Simple as that.
02:26Moving into the midfield, we've got some absolute power in here
02:29and three team of the years, De Jong, Rodri and Bon Mati.
02:33I don't know why they gave out team year De Jong a month early, but EA, you do you.
02:37Now, we need some wingers in here.
02:39And I was very lucky to get Lamine Yamau on loan.
02:42That saves me like four or five million coins.
02:45And he's a left footed player that can Travella.
02:47Feel like I always prefer that because I'm not as good at finesses as I am Travella.
02:50So Yamau is perfect for that left wing role.
02:53And then at right wing, you're going to be a little bit confused here
02:55because I'm not using a team of the year slot,
02:57but I have Cole Palmer team of the year Evo.
03:00For some reason, they said team of the year Evos don't count as a team of the year item
03:05because they're not a team of the year.
03:06So if you've done that Evo, you're allowed to use them and they just count as a 91 plus.
03:11I'm not complaining.
03:12Saves me a lot of coins, means I can use really good players.
03:15And it's the same for all the pros, to be honest.
03:17Everyone's got a better player there without actually having to spend that much.
03:20And the key thing with Cole Palmer's Evo is he's got Rapid,
03:23which I actually think is better than his team of the year.
03:25Some of the stats might not be as good, but that Rapid as a winger really helps.
03:29And Cole Palmer, if you're watching, I still want to play you.
03:32If anyone doesn't know the context of that, he's been playing pros for fun,
03:35but he must have lost my phone number.
03:37And to finish the team, I'm using my last team of the year or icon slot.
03:44Just get out of him, trigger some runs.
03:46Boom.
03:57Give me freedom, give me fire.
03:58Lovely.
03:59Nice.
04:13Yeah, don't mind it.
04:14That was a shit last attack last year, I'm better at that.
04:16It's so annoying because I'm in at 44.30, I've got half a chance to go
04:19and I'm like, it's just not worth it.
04:20I suppose it is just better off going in 2-0 up.
04:23Yeah, it is smarter probably.
04:24It's just so annoying, bro, because I'm thinking I'm in.
04:30Yes.
04:30Nice, come on.
04:32I've got the Bayern Munich goal music on today
04:34because I was watching some Harry Kane highlights.
04:36And every time he scores, this song plays.
04:43That's it, that's exactly what you need to do right there.
04:54I've watched him move the key,
04:54Versace or somebody's moving key would just hit it straight at him anyway.
05:01Oh, wow.
05:02Wow, that's Illich.
05:03I'm going to go defenders.
05:06Just because the right back and left back were a bit like.
05:08Yeah.
05:11Yes, man, come on.
05:14Come on.
05:18Let's go.
05:19Nice, man.
05:20Good start.
05:20Bang, bang, bang.
05:21Let's go, man.
05:22Good start.
05:22That's the first game curse.
05:23That's the first time in a while I've won a first game
05:26without making it really, really tight.
05:32That's the boy right there.
05:34The man, the myth.
05:34That is why he's the greatest.
05:39That's creative.
05:42Good win.
05:43Good start.
05:44Good start, yeah.
05:45For once.
05:46Game two now.
05:47Game numero dos, boys.
05:48Oh, just go easy in it.
05:50Game dos.
05:51Diogo Mendes, hard man.
05:52Do we need that game two?
05:54That's a bit hard, you know what I mean?
05:55That's like a game three or four.
05:56Get right up into the day, Tommy boy, come on.
05:58Seed six, bro, come on.
06:00Yeah, that's a bit heavy, seed six.
06:02Come on, like.
06:02But like, let's not look into the seeding too much.
06:04Go easy on me, you know what I mean?
06:06Quite a lot of 4-4-2s.
06:10Real shame, Harlan, real shame.
06:11Could be, should be winning that tackle.
06:13Nice, Tom, I love it.
06:20Great goal.
06:20Tick, tick, boom.
06:22Come on, man.
06:28Freebie, man.
06:29Freebie.
06:33Oh, I knew it.
06:33It always happens.
06:34It always happens, yeah.
06:36When you don't take your chance.
06:37I just have a free goal.
06:39He moves his keeper out the way.
06:40And then within 30 seconds, you concede.
06:42I don't know whether to just match him.
06:44Yeah.
06:44Because I feel like his formation is giving him a slight boost.
06:47Like, he's just...
06:47Because he can build up really well with his fullback.
06:50Because like, he's got the winger and the fullback every time.
06:52And my palmer doesn't track him.
06:55Nice, Tom, love that.
06:56That's so good.
06:57That's such good composure.
07:02Yes, give me the s***.
07:03Give me the s***.
07:04I needed it, sorry.
07:05Sorry, Diogo, I needed that.
07:10More s***.
07:10Sorry, sorry.
07:11These have to happen.
07:13Come on, come on, come on.
07:16He's not.
07:16Come on, Omri, man.
07:17Come on.
07:18That's the only time I'm going to be saying s*** like that.
07:20So you lot better cherish it.
07:21You lot better cherish it.
07:22Don't say anything.
07:23Right, stay focused for kickoff though, boys.
07:25It might be 5-2, but it is not over.
07:34Yes.
07:37Yes, man.
07:40Good win, that is.
07:41Good win.
07:422-1 down.
07:42You literally just grabbed that game by the absolute balls.
07:46I was 2-1 down.
07:47I forgot about that.
07:49XN, XR a boy.
07:50Seed 1-6-3.
07:53That's what I was hoping for a little bit.
08:00So annoying when you read it.
08:01I literally play a switch to Haaland.
08:03So early, I've played a switch to Haaland.
08:09Nice.
08:12That's the luck I deserve.
08:13I can't lie.
08:13That goal is jammy.
08:15And then I scored one.
08:27Excellent.
08:29Did we just become best friends?
08:30Yep.
08:35It's like the game is just so hard.
08:39Well played.
08:41Yeah, good play.
08:42Good play.
08:42That free ball is hard to watch, man.
08:45Don't even see it coming.
08:49Nice one.
08:53Boom!
08:54Come on, Rodri, man.
08:56Come on.
08:56What a goal.
09:02Let's go, man.
09:03Let's go.
09:04That should be 3-0.
09:05Don't want to curse anything.
09:08Some of the passes, man.
09:09You just don't even see them.
09:12That's game over.
09:16Come on.
09:16It was a beautiful goal by a beautiful boy.
09:22Nice one.
09:24Darkly away, yeah.
09:26He's got Omri, Haaland, Hansen, Bonmati.
09:304-2-1-3, but I saw your team.
09:37Good footwork.
09:38Well played, mate.
09:42Come on, man.
09:43What a goal.
09:44What a goal.
09:45Sometimes you look at ability, you think, how can you teach that?
09:48Got a bit lucky, but I needed a goal.
09:50Come on.
09:55Nice one.
09:55All you've got to do is wait for keeping movement every now and then.
10:02Get up, man.
10:03Come on.
10:04Come on.
10:04Come on.
10:09Come on.
10:12Come on.
10:13Nice, Tom.
10:18Yes.
10:19Come on.
10:20Stay focused.
10:21Stay focused.
10:21Come on.
10:27Yes.
10:28Come on, man.
10:29Too good, man.
10:34Go, Tom.
10:34Lovely.
10:35Oh, it feels good.
10:36It feels good.
10:37Mate, Bonmati looks way too good.
10:40Yeah, he is.
10:41Unreal.
10:42Joe's crazy.
10:42He just paused that for the full 90 seconds and he's going to go straight after.
10:46At least he's just done some mad tactical change.
10:48Bro was at the fish and chip shop.
10:50Well, did Palmer chip him one?
10:51No, no, because you batted him.
10:53Oh, I like it.
10:54Good banter.
10:564-4-1-1.
11:01There's no way he wins that header.
11:08Good to see you, ref.
11:09Great decision, mate.
11:10Well done.
11:11That was definitely a penalty.
11:14What's going on?
11:16Dickhead.
11:16I'll be seeing you at halftime, ref, because that ain't on.
11:19That is such a bad decision.
11:22Nice, Tom.
11:28No, that's for Palmer.
11:29That's for Palmer because I knew he was going to tuck in and then boom, boom.
11:32That was close, man.
11:33Good first half there, King.
11:34Very rare that you would have, again, the one meal at halftime on this current path.
11:39I think that's actually played really well.
11:41Defended ridiculously well.
11:46It's a really good goal in terms of approval, but if I bring the keeper out, you have to do better.
11:53I had a feeling Saliba was going to miss that and I said it two days ago.
11:56I said two days ago, there's one centre-back that's a bit weird, it's Saliba.
12:00He doesn't get the crucial things.
12:04F*** off, man.
12:05How has that gone in?
12:09Penn.
12:10Oi, George, Penn!
12:13Let's go.
12:14Come on.
12:20Oh, you knob.
12:22That was clever.
12:23That was clever because Theo was so in.
12:28No, it's to Omri.
12:29It's to Omri.
12:30It's to Omri.
12:31It's to Omri.
12:32It's to Omri.
12:33It's to Omri.
12:33It's to Omri.
12:35Aye, aye, aye, that was to Omri.
12:38How badly have I fumbled?
12:40I've fumbled so bad.
12:41Oh, Tom.
12:42Oh, that was such a freebie.
12:44I had like three opportunities.
12:46I just played the wrong pass every time.
12:48Ah, you've got to convert them.
12:50You've got to convert them.
12:51There's like two or three that I really should have scored from.
12:57Yeah, fair play.
13:02Let's go, man.
13:03Nice.
13:07No, that was not there.
13:09No.
13:12That was not there.
13:13I did not pass it there.
13:15Why would I go all the way back to my centre back?
13:19That's bad, you know.
13:20The game has just completely not registered it.
13:25Can't stop it.
13:26Cannot stop it.
13:34What's going on?
13:37Nice.
13:37Good stuff.
13:38That's better.
13:39Much better ends of the half that.
13:40Just chill out.
13:45Let's go, Tom.
13:46Come on.
13:46Right, that's what I needed.
13:48Awful goal.
13:48Exactly what I needed.
13:54Let's go, Tom.
13:54Come on.
13:55Come on, man.
14:00Saliba.
14:01Saliba.
14:02Every time.
14:03Why am I using an arsehole player?
14:04I should know better.
14:05He is a donkey.
14:07What is he doing?
14:08What is he doing?
14:18F**k, man.
14:19I've made an absolute shocker.
14:21You start doubting yourself because you lose two.
14:24But I bet you played pretty well.
14:25Mate, you played well.
14:26I bet you to beat anybody.
14:28Do you know what I mean?
14:28So it's like one game shootout to make it through.
14:33Why is competing so hard?
14:37Because only a certain few people can do it.
14:41Moments and memories.
14:47What a quote.
14:48What a quote that is.
14:49I've got one hand left here.
14:54Kings, the one game shootout of destiny.
14:57I'm confident in you, boy.
14:59I'm confident.
15:00What's he got?
15:014-4-1-1.
15:03With baby on iron.
15:10Let's go, man.
15:10Come on.
15:11Nice.
15:25Great composer, Tom.
16:03That's what you get, eh?
16:05That's what you get every time.
16:06I just can't take my chances.
16:08Just three games in a row, I just can't take my chances.
16:11How have I messed that up from 4-0?
16:13I will never know.
