      Paying 6m for defenders when there's better ones for 4m. Think the AI is broken.

        I was serious with this comment. Could easily see the ref/VAR rule it was violent conduct if Wolte went down.

          I dont personally think it was violent conduct, just the kind of situation where exaggerated response could lead to a red card.
