Belgian football (Season '19-'20) + 22 other countries (for example The Netherlands)

[olivier 1 3,758]

I'm really pleased with this review!! 

Obviously SM always give bigger rises to young talents, a few are a bit overrated. Especially the Anderlecht talents got massive upgrades, but SM still consider Anderlecht as the most valuable team in Belgium.

Zulj and Sanneh got their rises for their performances in Austria and Denmark. Bronn got his rise for his great performance at the World Cup and links with topteams imo.

Tomorrow i expect Samatta and Trossard to jump to 87. Biggest miss is Hans Vanaken imo, should have got 89 for his season, but SM barely give 89 to players of the belgian league.

Indeed but there are some bizarre risers. For example Nazaryna got + 5 but didn't play after his last rise (and some others). 

The rise Dimata got I also don't understand...

Dendoncker got 89 previous season, while he wasn't performing actually.. 

With that in mind Vanaken deserved that rise...

I also expect a rise from Ndongola tomorrow with Trossard and Samatta

[1000dB 410]

Brugge's squad cap is probably 88 and most likely why Vanaken didn't go to 89. Unless Brugge's cap is raised or Vanaken moves to a bigger team he'll stay at 88.

Belgian FA's decision regarding the European tickets:

For the time being KV Mechelen will go to the EL as cup winners. The 4th placed team will play the winners of play-off II (in the Belgian EL play-off final).

In case KV Mechelen's EL spot is taken away then:

- the 4th placed team is guaranteed an EL ticket (a slightly better ticket if they win the EL play-off final)

- the winners of play-off II have to win the EL play-off final to get that slightly better EL ticket (lose and be left empty-handed)

- the 5th placed team will get an EL ticket in case the winners of play-off II lose the EL play-off final

Assuming Standard come 4th and Anderlecht 5th would Standard even try to win the EL play-off final?

Vanheusden won't be going to the U21 EUROs (injured).

Origi also scored the winner against Newcastle. Leapfrogging over City until Kompany scored that screamer, keeping Liverpool in the title race with one final matchday to be played

Mbenza scored the equalizer against Man United

Hazard with two assists, putting him back on top as the PL assists leader

Batsman scored

and Dendoncker buried one in the back of the net too.

A decent haul for Belgians at PL teams the last few days. Spurs tomorrow and Chelsea the day after still to come.

I really hope Ajax will go through. They deserve the final and in this way I will see them live in Madrid..

But if it's Tottenham it's also nice to see Alderweireld and Vertonghen in the final

Not only in PL, last week also Castagne scored, the goal of 1-2 against Lazio, and tomorrow he could play as D(C) in a defense of 3, for lack for defensor!
