Lately Kampetsis is looking very good. Has scored 2 goals and 1 assist the last 3 games. He’s trying to prove himself. He should be looked at for Greece. It will bring his confidence up even more. Maybe drop Pavlidis for the next games so he can regain his form.
Douvikas has been even more impressive and can’t be ignored. Kampetsis and Douvikas have played together for Greece u19s a year and a half ago. They stood out the most in the team. It’s time they get their chance for the men’s side. It would be good to try other options.Comment

Giakoumakis should be the striker based on form, he's been on fire. I wonder if Papastathopoulos playing in Greece will help him get back to the national team....Comment

I don’t know if Sokratis moving to Olympiakos has changed Van’t Schip’s mind. I don’t think it has. But I like the move. Sokratis has been a great servant for the national team it’s a shame the way things have turned out. There aren’t many players like him in Greece. I’m looking forward to see him play in a Olympiakos jersey.Originally posted by Brklyngrk View Post
As for Giakoumakis, he should start. But we do need back up strikers if things don’t work out. Douvikas and Kampetsis are great back ups to have at this time.Comment

Kampetsis... I don’t think he is that good... I know he scored some goals but they are goals all strikers should take. I hope he does become something great but a lot over over hype about him atm imo.Comment

I agree with you’ve said Amorgo, but for a player like Kampetsis who has stepped up needs to be given some attention and same goes for Douvikas - (who has played more and scored more).Originally posted by Amorgos View Post
Giving Kampetsis a cap or 2 for Greece would give him the world of confidence. He can build on from there. We need to start giving players who have got some sort of talent more time to shine, especially for Greece. Also teams from more competitive leagues outside of Greece will have a look at certain players. Limnios is an example.
Tzolis who is our most inform player has been very under utilised. Giving our most deserving youngsters a proper chance to show what they got for Greece helps everyone. Gives the player loads of confidence, will give them exposure from better clubs and they’ll go back to there clubs with a boost to perform even better. Then other clubs from abroad pick them up for a good amount of money, which will help that certain club financially and then that player will improve even further because it either sink or swim, which then also helps the national team, their new club and themselves. It’s win-win all round.Last edited by Dean97; 01-31-2021, 07:11 AM.Comment

Would be absurd not to start Tzolis.
A small update on our Brazilian Greek winger Limnios. He bombed in Germany. Important VS doesn't shoehorn him into the 11.

I agree that he deserves to start on the bench. But as a player Limnios has played very well most of the time for Greece. I haven’t got a problem with him starting or is on the bench. I have more of a problem with other players starting. We all know who they are. 8 times out of 10 Limnios has played well and has been a standout apart from the last couple games we’ve played.Originally posted by Reaper View Post
It wouldn’t be so bad if Tzolis and Limnios both started on the wings. I’d be for it. Tzolis without a doubt should be starting. He a clinical finisher. Our main concern should be who Van’t Schip starts in midfield.Comment

The last few times he played for the ethniki, he looked a little out of it. Not as explosive as when he was with PAOK.
On a side note, don't really play video games but I was playing FIFA 21 the other day and noticed how every time I played with Greece, my center backs were getting killed!!! Tzavellas/Hatzi/Svarnas don't cut it!!!Comment

Sounds like FIFA 21 did their research.Originally posted by Brklyngrk View Post
Maybe Goutas at AEK will finally show his worth. Mavropanos also can add something.Comment

Speaking of FIFA 21 there’s a site called Sofifa.com and that’s where the fifa gaming community log on and comment on all the players ratings and potential ratings in the game. It has detailed information about a players abilities like in the game. The rating system is out of 99. For example Messi overall rating is 93. His potential rating is 93 aswell but that’s because he is 33 and reached his ceiling so to speak.
Ragarding Greek players Tzolis is rated 70 and has a potential rating of 87. Meaning as the years go on Tzolis can reach a world class rating of 87 if he continues to be in hot form in real life. The in game ratings are supposed to be realistic as possible to real life but sometimes it’s not perfect and that’s why you get a lot of people in the comments expressing there displeasure to the people who give the ratings.
If anyone is interested, here’s a link to all the Greek players ratings in the game. Some are on point and some are also very underrated and overrated. Also to mention, only the 4 big Greek teams are in the game as the league hasn’t got a licence to be in the game.

Douvikas HAS to be called up. The guy has been performing really well lately.
