Mbappé gets the centre-forward spot in Joe Thomlinson's Monaco reunion
Bernardo Silva and Maghnes Akliouche complete the attack in a team picked for this season, not an all-time honours board.

If Monaco NEVER Sold Their Best Players XI 🤯

Keeping every departing talent would give Monaco quite a selection headache. Joe Thomlinson solves the attacking part with Bernardo Silva, Maghnes Akliouche and Kylian Mbappé, putting the latter straight through the middle.
His Monaco Short is the most watched of five uploads this week, with around 137,000 views. The important distinction is in Joe's opening question: this is a team for this season. Aurélien Tchouaméni, Lamine Camara and Youri Tielemans form his midfield, rather than a collection chosen purely for what each player achieved at their peak.
That distinction has become part of the comments conversation. Some viewers point out the current-level premise; others ask about Falcao, Fabinho and Paul Pogba. Alexander Nübel's inclusion also prompts a question about whether a former loan player belongs in a never-sold team.
Manchester United supplies the week's other substantial thread. Joe first compared Antonio Conte, Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann across a dozen categories. His subsequent upload, "STAY or GO: Who Will Pochettino KEEP AT Man Utd?", turns to squad decisions under the manager his description identifies as United's new appointment. It reached roughly 62,000 views in its first thirteen hours and currently has the strongest daily viewing momentum of his uploads.
The subscriber total was unchanged over the week, although daily views are now well above Joe's usual pace. Alongside the managerial analysis, his PSG academy selection and Spanish Premier League XI keep the channel's other familiar pleasure in play: building a team, then leaving everyone plenty to debate.
