I’m sure there’s some nostalgia informing my feelings here but for me the mid 2010s were my favorite time being a football fan because it was like… just before Pep/Klopp came into the Premier League and completely changed the footballing meta.

The days of the no. 10 who was a bit of a luxury player are past us

KDB is a no. 10 through and through

I know what you are saying and I'm sure it's a thing in gaming, but "footballing meta" just sounds so off. And because not all people know specific terms from other hobbies, I don't quite using them out of their context.

That's a bit weird though. Meta is just a normal word and has been used more and more in football and other sports. How else are words supposed to become common words? Meta is the perfect word for what is meant.

i would probably add that most top teams were much more distinct in their way playing. Nowadays i feel like most of the UCL games are more or less the same sadly, unless it’s a team playing it for the first time. Football truly peaked in the 2010-2016.
