Some advice on builds

If you're not sure what to spend points on, and are looking for pre-made builds, then I would suggest not to. People's builds work for them because of their own skill set. It might compensate for one thing they're poor at which you might excel in.

A good example is that I see many posts have max pace on their CDM builds in YouTube videos. I tried 75/75 yesterday and i have had no problem with pace. I also prefer Controlled over Explosive as i jump at players on the right timing, so sometimes that would cause me to over-jump. I even put my Defensive Awareness down to 80 too, because whilst I do sometimes jockey, I excel in position discipline and short left-stick movement, so I don't need higher jockey speed to compensate for mistakes I do not make. It then frees up points to spend on the things I do the most e.g. long passes.

Fyi, I got into 2 TOTS in 2 different competitions in my first ever competitive season, so hope that brings some credibility to this post. My motivation to share this has come from the fact that for months I have obsessed over the perfect build, when really at the end of the day, it's how good you are and whether your pro fits you.

▲ 1 r/ACL

How can I tell if I reinjured it?

So I'm 11 months in. Full tear ACL and partial tear meniscus, which was attached back. Sometimes when I go for long walks or do exercise, there'll be pain in a specific spot of my knee (thing the right side meniscus). I can walk on it, put pressure, I do that test where you balance on the knee, bend a bit, and twist, and have no issues. In fact, I have no issues at all but it's just some pain that doesn't stop me from doing anything. I can't bend it fully though without it feeling like my knee is going to snap off, though the more I try to bend, eventually it loosens and I can.

I'm also flat footed, with that leg more flat, so I think there is more pressure on that side of the knee, but my physiotherapist said it's fine. They also said I seem fine, with a consultant checking it twice months ago as well and said it was fine also, but I am still not settled.

How can I tell if i reinjured it or if the surgery failed? Thank you.
