Auckland FC are aiming to continue their derby dominance. They're heading south to face the Wellington Phoenix in their sixth clash – the scoreboard weighted entirely their way. Auckland FC scored very early in the earlier derbies this season, and midfielder Louis Verstraete told Piney you can't underestimate the blow it does to the other team if you score early. He says it puts them on the back foot and you on the front, which is especially important for derbies. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wolfie gives you all the details on Nottingham Forest's new signing and other deals! Check out FFTV Merch! Click Here: https://forestfantv.com/ Breaking news at the City Ground! Wolfie is here to confirm that Nottingham Forest have officially completed the signing of Manchester City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega. With John Victor sidelined, the club moved fast to bring in the German shot-stopper to bolster our options between the sticks. We're also tracking Inter Milan's Davide Frattesi, with reports suggesting a deal is moving closer as the two clubs finalize the terms. We'll dive into what these high-caliber signings mean for our survival hopes and how they fit into Sean Dyche's system. Beyond the transfer madness, we have a massive game this Sunday against Crystal Palace. The Eagles are struggling for form and deal with their own internal drama, giving Forest a prime opportunity to secure a vital three points at home. We'll be looking at the predicted lineup, including whether new signing Lucca goes straight into the squad. It's a huge chance to climb the table and put some real distance between us and the drop zone. What do you think of the Ortega signing—is he the best backup in the league or our new No. 1? And are you confident we can get the Frattesi deal over the line before the deadline?

Central midfielder Louis Verstraete joined D'Arcy Waldegrave to preview the match. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The gap between being great in college and thriving as a pro is smaller than a square of grass, and that's exactly where Tommy McCabe lives. We sit down with the Oakland Roots midfielder to unpack how a backyard obsession, a London childhood, and the Jersey hotbed launched a journey through youth national teams, Notre Dame, MLS, and the USL Championship. Tommy brings calm clarity to a noisy landscape: the right path isn't a league acronym, it's the daily training environment that pushes you while helping you belong.We dive into the core pro separators, awareness, scanning, and first touch, and why the game gets tighter and faster with every level. Tommy explains how to keep the ball and structure under pressure, how to master the basics without boredom, and why decision-making starts with seeing the right picture before the ball arrives. From there, we talk culture: the best clubs build environment, connection, and belonging. He shares candid insights on roster turnover, improving USL contracts, and the delicate balance between opportunity and stability that shapes a season and a career.Curious about MLS vs USL differences, player lifestyle, and what promotion and relegation could mean for the American game? Tommy offers a measured view rooted in player welfare and professional standards while still embracing the excitement of higher stakes. We also look ahead to Oakland's potential on and off the field, training at the former Raiders facility, and turning a historic stadium into a fortress. If you care about player development, coaching, and what truly makes a professional, this conversation will sharpen your lens.If this resonated, follow and subscribe, share it with a teammate or coach, and leave a review to help more people find the show. What's the one habit you think separates a pro from the rest?

IIn this episode, hosts Shaq, Neil, and Homer dive deep into the ongoing Team of the Year promo in FC26 where the midfielders get their time in the spotlight. They discuss their experiences with the promo, expressing a mix of excitement and disappointment regarding pack weights and the overall content. Homer shares his underwhelming feelings about the promo, comparing it to a lackluster WrestleMania without star players. Neil adds that the grind for Team of the Year cards has been tougher this year, with lower pack odds making it difficult to obtain high-rated players. The conversation shifts to the gameplay content and the community's collective frustration with the current state of the game, highlighting the need for better rewards and more engaging content.TakeawaysTeam of the Year is a major promo but often leads to disappointment.Pack weights this year are significantly lower than previous years.The community is feeling a collective frustration with the current state of FC.Gameplay content is abundant, but rewards are lacking.Expectations for Team of the Year often lead to disillusionment.Chapters00:00 Welcome Back to Foot and Review01:15 Team of the Year Expectations02:32 Homer's Underwhelming Experience03:55 Neil's Take on Pack Weights06:10 Community Reactions to Team of the Year10:33 Gameplay Content vs. Pack Rewards18:23 Midfielders and Their Stats23:10 SBC Choices and Future Icons25:37 Team of the Year SBCs: Pricing and Requirements27:36 Player Performance: Stamina and Attributes31:02 Upcoming Icon Swaps: Expectations and Speculations34:29 Evolutions: Current State and Future Prospects40:26 The Impact of Icon Swaps on the Community49:06 Final Thoughts and Community EngagementCheck out our socials:X: https://twitter.com/futinreviewInstagram: https://instragram.com/futinreviewTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@futinreviewpodcastQuestions:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠futinreview@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://youtube.com/futinreview⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.futinreview.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://patreon.com/futinreview⁠

Is he ready for the step up, which clubs fit his skill set best, and why has no one pulled the trigger yet?Finally, we dive into the Champions League league phase table ahead of the final round of fixtures.

Wolfie looks into Forest's latest transfer news and could Dan Ndoye be leaving already? Subscribe to TFN https://www.youtube.com/@TheFootyNetwork?sub_confirmation=1 The January transfer window is heating up and a sensational "swap deal" is reportedly being discussed between the City Ground and the San Siro. With Inter Milan stepping up their interest in Forest's Swiss winger Dan Ndoye, reports from Italy suggest that Forest are trying to use that leverage to finally land long-term target Davide Frattesi. The Italian international midfielder has been on the recruitment team's radar for over a year, but with Inter chasing the Scudetto and Ndoye's stock rising after his Euro 2024 performances, how realistic is this exchange? Beyond the glamour of the San Siro, Forest are also looking closer to home to bolster the squad. We have fresh updates on another long-term target currently plying his trade at Norwich City. With the Canaries potentially looking to cash in on their prized assets to fund their own promotion push, Forest are reportedly weighing up a formal bid to bring some much-needed creativity to Trentside. Is this the January "wildcard" signing we've been waiting for, or just another name added to the ever-growing shortlist? As the pressure builds on the recruitment team to deliver, we want to hear from you. Would you sacrifice Dan Ndoye if it meant finally seeing Davide Frattesi in a Forest shirt, or is the Swiss international too vital to our survival hopes to let go? And regarding the Norwich link—is he the right profile to improve our attacking output, or should we be looking for more established Premier League experience?
