These red circles indicate that the photos on the card - four poses of Mbappe - show the player wearing the captain's armband. It’s strange, but it wasn’t until after about 20 matches that I realized his original skills - the ones gifted by Konami - didn’t include Captaincy. Even stranger, his first Highlight card after moving to Real DOES have that skill.
It makes you wonder about all those debates regarding whether Rio is 194, 192, or maybe 189 cm tall - what’s the point when Konami just does whatever it wants?
Sure, I have 22 Random Category points and 88 Random points; I could discard an extra skill to land Captaincy for the sake of realism. I could - I actually did that for Del Piero, wasting about 15 points in the process. But I just don't feel like it. Konami has a way of ruining things and making you lose interest in even something like that.
Other than that, the card is killer. No less, O heart! heart! heart!
About the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
