The Nix ratings are out for FC26 - how are they looking, you reckon?

quick scan of that says AFC have a couple of players at a higher peak, but we have the squad with the better potential to realise - so long term we would be in the better position.

Yeah the frame's certainly there. Potential for long-term stalwarts like Piper, the Kelly-Healds and Hughes, some profit potential with LBS (EPL top-half potential) and GSR (low EPL starter/sub-top 5 league star) potential, Sheridan as a glue guy a la Muscat, and a reasonable progression path for Supyk, Loke, Walker, Smith etc. who have already been exposed to the pro game early

AFC blow the Nix out of the water with squad depth. AFC have nine players 'better' than Manjrekar James, the Nix's second-highest, and it's not long before the Nix gets into sub-60 ratings (typically the cutoff for English League 2 level, for reference). Obviously two disparate approaches to squad-building though

anyone with a club team in EAFC26 that is looking for another player to join ?
