This was also the exact list that I played at my League Cup and the one that I have experience with. The second is Nico Alabas’s 1st place list from the Bilbao Special Event, which features some very “European” changes. I’ll include them both below for convenience. There aren’t any fundamental differences in these lists as far as how they execute their overall gameplans,…
