And with 96% tackle success! Code's brother has obviously hacked the EA site.

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Lucas has put more tackles in than any other player this season in the whole league, he's a fucking speed demon wrecking ball.

[Newport]

Lucas with the highest average speed. Houston we have a problem.

 

What's problematic about it? It's common sense that central midfielders move aroung quicker on average than most other players as they are involved much more in the game than any other position.

[Jairzinho]

Solid confirmation that Lucas is indeed the best player ever.

[Code]

Lucas with the highest average speed. Houston we have a problem.
