These days, the best defensive midfielders in the world tend to be specialists who stay deeper in the engine room. But this was never the case 30 years ago: midfielders tended to chip in to do a little of everything, getting forward when needed and tracking back in reverse. As the role of a DM evolves, it's not unusual that some of the best players in the world right now play at the base of a midfield, given that it's a position that you need vision, awareness and a high IQ so let's delve into what makes a world-class no.6 in 2025.

The best goalkeepers in the world used to be easy to sort but the position has evolved so much in the last decade or so. Once the madmen and mavericks of your club, the position has become sanitised in the modern game: goalkeepers are no longer quite so different to outfielders, since they have to build from the back and rush out to help a high line like a traditional sweeper used to decades ago.

I've been thinking about how web apps nowadays seem to pack many features-from dark mode to animations, rich client-side interactions, offline support and more. All of this is great, but I keep wondering: at what point do these extras hurt performance or the user experience? A few things I'm curious about: Do developers here ever delay implementing a "nice extra" because it slows down load time? What metrics or tools do you use to measure whether a feature is "too expensive" in terms of performance (mobile especially)? Are there features you've removed / scaled back after noticing performance issues? How do you decide which features are "must-have" and which are "nice-to-have" when building something new?

I set aside extra money for my kids, mortgage, bills, and car payments. My original goal was to reach $12,000 in savings. That way, when I started my coaching business, I could jump right into it without affecting my family financially. I ultimately reached about $10,200 before my exit. I'm glad I did that because it gave me some peace, and I wasn't thrown into a scarcity mindset when I left.
