Left to right: Lionel Messigician, Chewy Suarez, Notaxmar, Thomasshole Muller, Mesut Eyezil, Cristiano Euronaldo, Zlatan Egohimovic.
442oons is a English Youtube channel that makes parodies about football, adding comedy to make it funny. The creator Dean Stobbart makes characters and events based on real-life occurrences.

The series has become so popular that Dean and his team also guest produce cartoons for other football channels, including news site OneFootball and even Germany's Bundesliga.

Among its most popular footballer/manager caricatures are:

Has a Character Sheet in progress.

442ropes

  • Abnormal Ammo: Welsh Rambo's (Aaron Ramsey) foot tosser used to score goals.
  • The Ace: Lionel Messigician. Full stop. Now that he won the Qatar World Cup with Argentina, his status as this is cemented for decades to come.
    • Other notable Aces in recent times are Zlatan Egohimovic (in his stints on PSG, Manchester United and LA Galaxy), Robert Lewandowski (after Bayern Munich won the Sextuple), Karim Benzema (winning the Ballon D'Or 2022) and Erling Haaland (after his fantastic 2022/23 season and winning the treble).
  • The Alcoholic: RTAro Vidal, referencing the real-life Arturo Vidal's drunk-driving incident in 2015.
    • Hugoalie Lloris gets adapted to this trope after his drinking incident in real life, and his character was pretty much permanently drunk... until around 2021. Danny Drinkwater was briefly this, too.
    • Nowadays, Jack Grealish has this role.
  • Ambiguously Gay: David Louise and Notaxmar. They shared an Almost Kiss moment once and behave of a somewhat effeminate way.note  David Louise's name doesn't help.
  • Animals Not to Scale: the chicken and birds mascots are portrayed much bigger than the species they represent. This was averted with a hen and a seagull in recent videos.
    • Zig-zagged with Marco Veryratty. He is usually portrayed in the same size as the other characters, but some videos featured him with the size of a real rat.
  • Arch-Enemy:
    • Lionel Messigician and Cristiano Arrogantaldo
    • Jose Moaninho and Arsey Whinger
    • Thomasshole Muller and Dante
    • Hwan Mata and Jose Moaninho (This seems to have lessened somewhat after Moaninho's move to Moneychester United)
    • To a lesser extent, Schlong Terry and Tryiton Giggsy.
    • Alexis "Dirty" Sanchez and Diego Costly-Coffee
    • Hurri-Kane and Arsey Whinger
    • Thomasshole Muller and pretty much every Borussia Dortmund player
    • Jamie Come-Fardy and Hurri-Kane
    • Virgil Van Dijk and Ronaldo's sister
    • Raheem Sterling and Joe Gomez
    • Graeme Souness (a Sky Sports pundit) and Paul Pogba (albeit solely from Souness' side.)
    • Bastardo (Bernardo) Silva and Jordan Henderson after the former disrespected Liverpool FC in the Guard of Honor.
    • Luis Suarez and Ronald Koeman (after Koeman become manager Barcelona and sold Suarez to Atletico Madrid)
    • Trent Alexander-Arnold and Gareth Southgate (after Southgate didn't choose Alexander-Arnold to the England team for a long time, and mostly plays him out of his preferred position)
    • Also, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Reece James (since the Chelsea Right-Back is clearly Southgate's favorite now for the position), and both are considered generational Right-Backs. It is far from a friendly rivalry.
    • Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola act like this, although IRL they fully respect each other
    • Liverpool players (especially Mo Salah) and Sergio Ramos, the latter who ripped the former's arm off at UCL final in 2017/18 and gave a concussion to Loris Karius. Afterwards, Ramos become abusive to all Liverpool players, but in World Cup 2018, after Egypt's early exit Salah had his revenge, ripping Sergio's arm out.
    • MSN and Thomasshole Muller
    • Ronald Koeman and Xavi after the latter got the former's Barcelona Job (seen at Xavi's first day at Barcelona and right after they were eliminated from the 21/22 Champions League)
    • Jude Bellingham and Yougurn Klopp (After Jude rejected Liverpool transfer and instead goes to Liverpool's worst enemy club).
    • Fabrizio Romano and David Ornstein
    • Lionel Messi and Alejandro Garnacho after Garnacho said Ronaldo is his idol and prefer Ronaldo than the Argentinian National Team.
  • Art Evolution: Dean's character designs have become more realistic and less cartoony in recent 442oons videos. Drastic examples include Brendan Rodgers (formerly Brendan the Elephant Seal), Lionel Messigician, Edinson Cavani (Formerly Skeletor Cavani), Raheem Loves Sterling, Dele Alli (Formerly Adele Alli), Emre Can (Formerly Imred Can), Sam Allardyce (Formerly Big Fat Sam), Mohamed Salah (Formerly Moe form The Simpson) Alisson Becker (Formerly used Dean's face), Toby Alderwereld (Formerly Toby Eldersquirrel), Steven Gerrard, and David Luiz. Some caricatures (e.g. Mesut Eyezil, Little Pea Chicharito, Wayne The Ogre (during club competitions), Divhead Moyes) have remained relatively cartoony, nevertheless, while some (Adam Lallama, Mario Goat-ze, Santa Cazorla) blend cartoony bodies with realistic faces.
    • Dean also draws English players more realistically during international tournaments.
    • A more subtle change happened to the players' proportions, with Dean drawing the 442oons caricatures with larger torsos and smaller eyes in relation to their heads. This resulted in more realistic player appearances, as seen with Eden Hazardous.
    • The animation quality has certainly improved in recent 442oons videos, particularly after Dean partnered up with another animator.
  • Ascended Extra: Actually played a lot of times
    • Hugoalie Lloris who was just a background character for Tottenham became one of their "protagonists" even appearing in the Tottenham Trio in Footballers vs Zombies 2018
    • Mo Salad after his fantastic 2017/18 season with Liverpool, receiving his Awesome Moment of Crowning video.
    • Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang after he was signed for Arsenal
    • Rolls Reus, Jadon Sancho and Erling Haaland pretty much became Borussia Dortmund's main characters after 442oons started to make videos for Bundesliga channel, when they rarely appeared in the past
    • AS Monaco was this briefly after their great participation at the 2016/17 Champions League.
      • Later, Breakout Star Kylian Mbappe would become a main character thanks to him signing for PSG the very next season.
      • On a lesser note, Fabinho would feature more often after signing for Liverpool for the 2018/19, snotting Eden Hazard and shortly after contributing to win the 18/19 Champions League and the 19/20 Premier League.
        "Sorry. Hay Fever"
      • The same applies for Bastardo (Bernardo) Silva since joining Manchester City in 2017.
    • Divock Origi after he scored goals against Everton, Barcelona and Tottenham.
    • Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting after he scored goal against Atalanta.
    • Ronald Koeman after he was hired as Barcelona's coach
    • Diogo Jota after he scored hattrick against Atalanta.
    • Alisson Becker after he saved last minute against Napoli in the Champions League 2018/19 Season.
    • Karim Benzema after having an amazing run of form, starting in 2021, being capped for France after a long time and capping it off with winning the Champions League 2021/22
    • Sadio Mane after winning the AFCON with Senegal.
    • In the Non-Footballer category we have TikTok influencer Sam Smith and his "friendship" with Neymar
    • Todd Boehly after became Chelsea FC owner.
    • Alejandro Garnacho after he score goal bicycle kick against Everton also he's in The Frontmen 7.0.
    • Cole Palmer after having an amazing 2023/24 Season with Chelsea.

    • In a World Cup 2018 Conspiracy Theory video, Uruguayan Goalkeeper Fernando Muslera saw a "beautiful woman" from far away... it was his teammate Edinson Cavani.
  • Berserk Button:
    • Mentioning "7-1" to Dante is enough to make him EXTREMELY PISSED. Not that it stops Thomasshole Muller.
    • NEVER tell Cristiano Arrogantaldo that Lionel Messigician is better than him.
      • Similarly, saying that Arrogantaldo is better than Messigician will make Messigician more likely to "EXPELLIARMUS" you.
      • Nowadays, the only known button that really angers Messi is mentioning his Autism, as Harry Kane discovered in The Frontmen Season 5.
    • Jose Moaninho's very existence (or success) is this to Arsey Whinger.
  • Butt-Monkey:
  • Casual Kink: Trent Alexander-Arnold is, as of late, shown being attracted to pregnant women.
  • Catchphrase:
    • Cristiano Arrogantaldo: "I look good..<takes shirt off>..TOPLESS!!! SUUUUU!!!
    • Lionel Messigician: "EXPELLIARMUS!"
      • "Oh, he's such a DOUCHEBAG!" (When referring to Cristiano Arrogantaldo)
      • "¿Qué mira' bobo? ¿Qué mira' bobo?" note  (when referring to Wout Weghorst... or any dutch player after Argentina beat the Netherlands at World Cup 2022)
    • Thomasshole Muller: "Ahahahahahaha! I'm such a comedian!"
      • "I can see Jesus!" (When he dives)
    • Jose Moaninho: "Hehe! Good One!"
      • "You're a Specialist In Failure" (Referring to Arsey Whinger)
      • Lately he's saying "This is Football Heritage" more often
      • Let's not forget he tends to say "Puta!!" when insulting anybody that walks or runs away from him. note 
    • RTAroVidal: <drunkenly> "Get off the Road..<hic>..you Morons!"
    • Chewy Suarez: "I'M A GENIUS!"
    • Phace Jones: "MUUUUURGH!"
    • Brendan The Elephant Seal: "Okay?"

    • Arsey Whinger: "SACRE BLEU!"
      • "DAMN YOU JOSE!" and "Well you're a specialist in being a dick!" (Referring to Jose Moaninho)

    • Hurri-Kane: "YASSSSHHHH!!"
    • Jurgen Klopp: "Boom, haha."
    • Ronald Koeman: "I used to play for Barcelona."
    • David/Divhead Moyes: "You bastard(s)..."
    • Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez: "Qué?!" note 
    • Kylian Mbappe: "I QUIT!" (On The Frontmen videos)
    • Senor Red Card: "Pussio!!"
    • Darwin Nunez: "HOW ARE WE?!" since getting an automated translator with a scouse voice, to fit better in Liverpool.
  • The Corrupter: Senor Red Card for Sergio Ramos... Although he already was quite the Jerkass without him.
  • Creepy Child: Darmian, son of the (Red) Devils. His appearance and manner of speech are reminiscent of Damien Thorn. Pretty fitting for a Manchester United (Red Devils) player.
  • The Ditz: Wayne the Ogre and Dim Tim Sherwood.
    • Also, Timo Werner shows hints of this... At least when he's not the King of the Dark Arts or dissing his "friend" Romelu Lukaku
    • Jack Grealish has hints of this, too.
      • He can't even count to ten correctly!!
  • Dude Looks Like a Lady: Edinson Cavani, he has a long hair and always been taunted as a woman by other players such as Suarez, Neymar, Ronaldo, Salah and others. Erling Haaland also counts after Haaland has a long hair and Jude Bellingham called Haaland Sharon, Suarez called Haaland Rapunzel on steroids and The Frontmen called him Barbie or Margot Robbie.
  • Dude, Not Funny!: Some of Thomasshole Muller's jokes get this reaction.
  • Eloquent in My Native Tongue: Troopz of Arsenal Fan TV fame is presented as this in an episode of The Roy Keane Show. His native tongue exclusively consists of the words 'fam' and 'blud', but the subtitles come across as eloquent. All other episodes have him speaking English.
  • Embarrassing Middle Name: Cristiano Ronaldo revealed that Roy Meane's middle name was... Maurice.
  • Fake Ultimate Hero: Jordan Henderson has been portrayed as this at least once after his declarations of "helping sport in Saudi Arabia" aged like milk. note 
  • Fan Disservice:
    • Arsey Whinger shirtless. UUUUGGGHHH!!!!
    • Divhead Moyes's privates.
    • Arrogantaldo in a bikini... at least, according to Messigician.
    • Charlie Adam scores a goal from the halfway line...and takes his shirt off a-la Arrogantaldo. Ugh.
  • Friendly Enemy:
    • Lionel Messigician and Cristiano Arrogantaldo, although battling their best, actually don't hate each other, as Arrogantaldo describes his relationship with Messigician as a "little friend" and they hosted Frontmen Season 1.
      • Accentuated in seasons 4 and 5 of The Frontmen. Now they refer each other as "bestie"
    • Lionel Messigician and Sergio Ramos initially were sworn enemies at La Liga, and most commonly at El Clasico. Later both were transferred to PSG as teammates, and have been seen celebrating together every time Barcelona is kicked out of the UCL (Twice as of this editing - March 2023)
  • The Gadfly/Troll: Thomasshole Muller LOVES to make (extremely corny) jokes, often at the expense of opposing teams (and Dante).
  • Gasshole: Patrick Van Arsehole sometimes... lets it rip without any warning
  • Gender Flip: Some footballers are depicted as female due to their nicknames. Examples include Adele Alli (parody of Dele Alli), Helen of Troy Deeney (Troy Deeney), Adrian, Gabrielle (Gabriel), She-Rabiot, Juliet Lescott (Joleon Lescott), Jessica Alba (Jordi Alba), Jessie (Jesse Lingard), Emma Watson (Ben Watson), and Cheeta-Jara.
    • Seems to be happening less recently with Dean pursuing more realistic caricatures, with Jesse Lingard, Gabriel, Dele Alli, Alexandre Lacazette, Jordi Alba, Adrien Rabiot and Adrian being drawn as males in newer videos.
  • Gonk: Phace Jones. His face even scared away zombies....TWICE!
    • Martin Skorcel, Fat Sam the Jabba, Diego Costly-Coffee, Carlos Teveth, Brendan the Elephant Seal, Divhead Moyes, Mesut Eye-zil, and Wayne The Ogre are even uglier.
    • Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson and former USA president Donald Trump also qualify
  • Gosh Darn It to Heck!: Roy Keane replaces all his f-bombs with the word "feck". James Milner has done this at least once too (not the "feck" part, but still)
  • Hair-Trigger Temper: Jamie Come-Fardy. "Chat shit, get banged", indeed.
    • Dante, at least when it comes to Thomasshole Muller's jokes.
    • Roy Keane. He constantly threatens to "Alf-Inge Haaland" all those who cross him.
    • Diego Costly-Coffee.
    • Hollywood Pudgy: Charlie Adam in the older videos, Eden Hazard after joined Real Madrid, and Neymar Jr. has been portrayed at this since the start of 2024.note . In Frontmen 7.0 Football Pranks Neymar turned out wearing a fat suit.
  • It's All About Me: Cristiano Arrogantaldo, Zlatan Egohimovic, and Jose Moaninho have this as their default mindset.
  • Jerkass:
    • Jose Moaninho frequently disses and trolls opposing teams and managers, particularly Arsey Whinger. His players and staff are not spared, as shown by his treatment of former Chelski Bus Company physio Eva. Shown full force in his post-championship tour of England.
    • Thomasshole Muller often victimizes the teams and players he beats with his jokes. Examples include Brazil, Arsenal, The Old Lady (Juventus), and his frequent victim Dante. He also berated Little Pea (Chicharito) for making a joke, stating that "He is the one that makes the jokes here!", and he called Leonardo Di Caprio's joke "scheisse".
    • Chewy Suarez and his frequent biting and trolling of opposing teams (his mocking of "God Save The Queen" being one prime example) deserve a mention. Not to mention his racist comments to Patrice What-Evra and Zinedine Zidane. A Q&A Video once compared him to noted jerkass Cartman.
    • Cristiano Arrogantaldo and Lionel Messigician, especially to each other.
    • Zlatan Egohimovic has always been a bit of an arrogant egomaniac, but his recent move to Moneychester United (aka. Zlatanchester United) seems to have made him a bigger jerk than he was in PSZ. Some incidents include calling Jesse Lingard a "retarded octopus" due to his goal celebration, killing an announcer due to his critical analysis of Zlatan's performance in the Community Shield, and stealing the Community Shield from his captain Wayne the Ogre.
    • Almost every footballer featured in 442oons plays the role of a Jerkass in at least one of the videos he/she is involved in.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold:
    • Thomasshole Muller loves to make fun of teams he beats (and Dante), but he has also sung praise to his teammates (such as Lewandowski and Alibaba (Alaba)) when they do well.
      • In the Bundesliga Videos he's mostly a Nice Guy
    • Lionel Messigician is a complete ass to Cristiano Arrogantaldo, but he is shown to have a good relationship with teammates Chewy Suarez and Notaxmar.
      • Similarly, Chewy Suarez is also relatively nicer to Messigician and Notaxmar than he is to other players.
    • Zlatan is a complete egomaniac, but he does praise a few of his teammates at PSZ and Moneychester United (e.g. She-Rabiot, Lingard, Rashford)
  • Keet: Thomasshole Muller. High-pitched, nasal voice? Yes. Relatively small (in build)? Yes. Extremely noisy and happy-go-lucky? HELL YES.
  • Kid-Appeal Character: Philippe Coutinho, Alberto Moreno, Alejandro Garnacho, Phil Foden, Liverpool Youth Players in Carabao Cup Final: Bobby Clark, James McConnell and Jayden Danns.
  • Large Ham: CRISTIANO ARROGANTALDO.
    • Thomasshole Muller also has his moments.
  • Lighter and Softer: Dean's videos in the Bundesliga channel, mostly because they strive to make everything as family-friendly as possible. While 442oons is mainly a Sadist Show, Bundesliga's videos that are "Powered by 442oons" tend to be uplifting and wholesome, without taking most of the fun.
    "We may be rivals on the pitch, but off the pitch there's one thing we all agree on: Subscribe. Now. For. More. Great. BUNDESLIGA ACTION!!"
    — Thomas Muller plus other five Bundesliga stars, right before a funny skit from the Bayern München icon, sometimes including his prized horse Dave.
  • Likes Older Women: Wayne Rooney, in case it wasn't subtle enough.
  • Little People: Lorenzo Insigne (at Euro 2020), Alberto Moreno/Smalleno (at least in older videos), Lisandro Martinez (when he joined Manchester United) and Mathieu Valbuena
  • Lovable Sex Maniac: Tryiton Giggsy and Schlong Terry are depicted as the biggest perverts in the footballing world.
    • Schlong Terry's goal in life is to have sex with every footballer's wife or girlfriend. He even went out with MOANINHO's WIFE during Moaninho's Q&A. And that's not including his deflated balls joke in the Super Bowl parody. Poor, poor Eva.
    • Tryiton Giggsy is not that better either. Apart from the conquests of his teammates' significant others, he also stared at Jessie when she went topless after scoring the winning goal in the 2016 FA Cup.
      • Giggsy went to see Arrogantaldo: The Movie after hearing that there would be nudity in it. He seemed disappointed when he found out that ARROGANTALDO was the one being nude in that film
    • The 2 of them got disqualified from the darts tournament since they only aimed to score 69 points.
      "Oh for Fuck's sake, GROW UP, BOYS!"
      — Unnamed Woman, Admonishing Terry and Giggsy for their immaturity.
    • Olivier GQ/Giroud also seems to qualify as of late (At least in the Squid Game parody series), but mostly to Zlatan and Cristiano
      "You kinky bastard..."
      — To Cristiano, after the latter hoodwinked him at the Marble Game with some Anal Beads
  • Man of a Thousand Voices
  • Maurice Chevalier Accent: Arsey Whinger speaks with this.
  • Mr. Fanservice: Cristiano Arrogantaldo, Olivier GQ and Freddie Ljungberg are the most prominent examples.
  • Ms. Fanservice: Former Chelski Bus Company physio Eva is seen by some as this. Helen Of Troy Deeney, She-Rabiot, and Cheeta-Jara are also relatively good-looking.
  • Pun: Every club logo, name, player, or celebrity in the 442oons universe had one in older videos. This is no longer the case in more recent videos, but there are plenty of puns here and there.
  • Putting the Band Back Together:
    • Barcelona former players Lionel Messi and Neymar joined PSG. Messi again and Luis Suarez joined Inter Miami note .
  • Running Gag:
    • Wayne The Ogre misspelling "Pedro" as "PAEDO", and Louie Van Harsh scolding him for it.
    • Cristiano Arrogantaldo taking his shirt off and screaming "SUUUUU!!!"
    • Lionel Messigician victimizing Arrogantaldo and vice-versa.
    • Thomasshole Muller's corny jokes.
      • Muller also LOVES to remind Dante and Neymar of "7-1"...
      • ...and Messi of the 8-2 thumping Bayern München gave Barcelona at Lisbon, in the 2019/20 Champions League
    • RTAro Vidal drunkenly mowing over players/cars while shouting "Get off the road..<hic>..you morons!"
    • Chewy Suarez biting.
    • Notaxmar diving.
    • Phace Jones making an ugly face while shouting "MUUURGH!!"
    • Jose Moaninho and Arsey Whinger's constant feud
    • Notaxmar, Messigician, and Chewy Suarez singing "You're getting Sacked in the Morning~" to struggling Managers.
      • Chewy Suarez attempting to sing the 2nd verse (often a pot-shot at the opposing manager) before stopping (since Messigician and Notaxmar stopped playing) or getting interrupted (e.g. Zinedine Zidane angrily chasing him, Thierry Henry and JC singing the 2nd verse instead).
    • Schlong Terry and Tryiton Giggsy attempting to sleep with other players' wives and girlfriends.
    • Don't forget Chelski's (and Moaninho's) love affair with buses.
    • Dirty Sanchez getting forced by Arsey Whinger to enter a hotel room with him. This is probably the reason behind Sanchez's "Dirty Sanchez".
    • Roy Hodgson talking about "his Willy", refering mostly to Wilfried Zaha
      • Sometimes he speaks about other "willies". Namely "Willy Caballero" from Chelsea and "Willy Boly" from Wolves
    • Robert Lewandowski not winning the Ballon d'Or.
    • Diego Simeone and/or Luis Suarez using and teaching the The Dark Arts to his players or friends.
    • Marcelo Bielsa slapping his translator after a false translation. This continues on for at least one episode with his successor, Jesse Marsch.
    • Jurgen Klopp entering opposing teams' manager/coach searches to troll the team in question (with the exception of Real Madrid).
    • Olivier GQ/Giroud being a slow runner... or sexy... Sometimes both.
    • Dean finishing the Premier League or Champions League-centered videos with "My money is on... Man City" or some variation.
  • Sadist Show: 442oons will make fun of EVERY FOOTBALLER, EVERY TEAMnote , and EVERY MANAGER. Likewise, any footballer or manager featured in this show will be portrayed as a complete Jerkass in at least one video.
    • To Dean's credit, he makes sure to mock every team equally, despite being a Middlesbrough fan note 
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Paul Pogba in the Liverpool vs. Manchester Utd. at Anfield in 2022. He stabbed his own leg to exit the game note . Liverpool won 4-0 with ease.
    • Supposedly he did it before in the prior match at Old Trafford by injuring Naby Keita on purpose and making himself be sent off. By then his team was already trailing 0-5 and the score stayed at that until the end.
    • Hugoalie Lloris did this just before the last Argentinian penalty at the Qatar World Cup 2022, raising a sign that adequately said "I don't do pens"note 
  • Shout-Out: Lewandowski channeling his inner He-Man to Slap Thomas Muller so hard that he dislocated his jaw in one single shot
    "By the power of Poland!! I. HAVE. THE POWEEEEERRRR!!! "
    Proceeds to break Thomas's jaw
    • To be honest, Zlatan did it years ago while being on PSZ circa between 2015 and 2017. And at least once in his stint at Manchester United.
  • Small Name, Big Ego: JOSE MOANINHO.
    • Brendan Rodgers also has his moments... Okay?
    • Erik ten Hag after become Manchester United manager.
  • Take That!: Directed at the BBC and UEFA after Christian Eriksen's heart attack during Euro 2020. UEFA gets their own part of the Euro 2020 day two round up called "Absolute f*** morons of the day", while the BBC gets called out while Dean talks about "The most shocking moment of the day".
    Dean: Well, we all know what that was. Thankfully, unlike the BBC, we won't be showing any footage of Christian Eriksen's medical treatment on the pitch, his distressed teammates or his distraught partner, because, well, why would ya? Get well soon, Christian.
  • Tempting Fate: Chewy Suarez singing a parody of Liverpool's famed You'll Never Walk Alone after winning the first leg of 2018/19 Champions League Semifinal by 3-0. Specifically when he sang "And you'll never... turn... it... round!!" shortly before Jürgen Klopp drowned him into the fountain. Guess what happened 6 days later...
  • The Friend Nobody Likes: The premiere night of Arrogantaldo: The Movie showed that NO FOOTBALLER likes Cristiano Arrogantaldo (It didn't help that Lionel Messigician and Thomasshole Muller were at the premiere)
    • Even his top teammates (Mercedes Benzema and Garry Bale) admonish him for his greed and arrogance.
    • Moaninho seems to like Arrogantaldo, though. Then again, it's MOANINHO.
  • The Quiet One: Many players end having few lines relative to their participation. Examples are N'Golo Kanté, Mauro Icardi, David Silva, Anthony Martial, Fabinho and Roberto Firmino.
  • The Stoic: Bernie Slaven Ivanich. He showed almost no emotion after getting bitten by Chewy Suarez.
  • The Stoner: Jack Pot Wil-smoke.
    • Raheem Loves Sterling is always high on Nitrous Oxide. One such high even influenced his transfer to Man Sheiky FC.
  • Third-Person Person: Zlatan Egohimovic.
    • Hurri-Kane plays this trope occasionally
  • Token Evil Teammate: It's clear that Chewy Suarez is the biggest Jerkass in MSN. In between the biting, racist jokes, insulting second verses in MSN's "Sacked In The Morning" song, and his EPIC PUT DOWN of Cristiano Arrogantaldo, Suarez makes Lionel Messigician and Notaxmar seem like completely innocent angels.
    • YMMV on this one, but Zlatan was pretty much this on his stint in Moneychester (Manchester) United. Either him or Jose Mourinho
    • Bernardo Silva is this for Man Sheiky FC, for flipping the bird to the Liverpool Players in the Guard of Honor after the latter were crowned champions by having Man Sheiky lose 1-2 to Lampard's Chelsea Kids FC the fixture prior.
  • Token Good Teammate: Edinson Cavani (when he's not in his Skeletor Persona) to Paris Saint-Germain.
    • Angel Di Maria might also count.
    • In Manchester United, Marcus Rashford is undoubtedly the most selfless person after helping many young children get their free meals.
      • And Cavani was there too!
    • In the French Squad, we could count N'Golo Kanté and Olivier Giroud note 
  • Took a Level in Badass: Thibaut Courtois. Oh, boy!! When you compare how he was portrayed in the 2018/19 Champions League and how is it now (2022 at the time of editing)
    • At the Group Stage, he couldn't even catch a flu against PSG and the parody video had him rely in super-stick glue... It didn't go well
    • And in the second leg of the Best-of-16 round against Eye-Axe (Ajax) he... underperformed again, conceding four goals at the Bernabeu.
    • Then, 3 years later, he almost single-handedly won the Champions League Final by keeping a clean sheet against Liverpool, frustrating their rivals enough to make Vinicius Jr. score the only goal of the match and snatching the game, making himself Man of the Match. You cannot but respect his talent and his mental fortitude after all the jeering he has received after leaving Chelski FC.
    • Unai Emery after been sacked by Arsenal and hired by Villareal later won the Europa League with Villareal.
    • Also applies to the Argentinian National team after winning the Qatar World Cup. Special mention goes to Emiliano Martinez
  • Took a Level in Jerkass:
  • Trademark Favourite Food: James Milner loves his Ribena. Also, Eden Hazard is always up for some "Maccies"
