He's the most popular because he's the most famous off the park. Correction: SOME women like him, plenty think he looks like the village idiot. I know, because I have seen many of them say it. Before Euro 2020 nobody was calling him handsome - it's again a case of someone blowing up in fame and...

I don't even think he's remotely good looking to be honest (Grealish) and I am sure many women agree with me as I have seen them say it. Looks like a drug dealer with a pretty boy hairstyle. It's a low bar for looks when a guy is famous. However, I do rate him as a player, think he adds a lot...

That's true too. It's a bonus technique. Me personally though I find good first touch and ball control miles easier than a trivela - so I was talking from personal experience.

That's one of the hardest techniques to master in football, the outside of the boot trajectory pass like that (Trivela). Other stuff can be relatively simple with practice, but that is pretty hard. It's not just playing the ball with the outside of the foot, it's getting that extreme bend/curve...

Yeah i get your point. Lots of teams moved up a bit either in qualifying, or two straight into the league phase, due to two extra spots being there outside the Performance slots. I agree with everyone though that 32 teams would be better. Though it would be more awkward in making it 8 games a...

Was thinking that last night (I watched the first half). Several times Lamine played a lovely ball for Kounde on the overlap and Kounde totally fluffed it. He will be further enhanced by an attacking RB, like Salah has had at Liverpool with Trent.

Fair enough lads - I will watch some of their upcoming games (if I can get access through IPTV) and keep a close eye on him.

Agree with first two paras. Third para, the flip side of that is some smaller clubs like Brest and Brugge others have been more competitive than teams expected to do better, like Leipzig and Bologna. Though how much is done to the random luck of the draw in terms of games, is uncertain. I'd...

Yeah 32 teams would be better, More symmetrical too with a 8-8-8-8 split. UEFA wanted more teams from bigger leagues in though.

Yeah I am finding it harder to get points in prediction game this year, and so are most people. I think, pound for pound (as there's 64 more games this season), the prediction scores will be lower across the board in my game than in previous format. I know I am mentioning my game again but it is...

Great work - fell asleep and missed second half, so all the action. Should hopefully finish at least top four now, hopefully top two.

Just about right on average this gameweek (though I have green arrows there). The expected results went my way but few of the punts did. 18 percent correct was my best outcome, thanks to @Messi983 giving me advice on Sporting. The rest didn't pan out. Most of my results were in the 90s and...

Fair enough. Can't be bothered arguing anymore anyway. I acknowledge he's a quality player. @El Gato sorry for the you don't play dig, that was below the belt and is not that important anyway. Thanks for the good debate earlier.

Very strong team to start. Bench will be important too.

What's good about you and I is we think very differently about football a lot of the time, but I would never let that get in the way of me thinking you are a good person. Football isn't even important at the end of the day, life, friends, family and being safe matters much more.

Nice wee close (2-1 Athletic I gone for), with Atletico and Lille winning too. Lovely stuff.

Because he's male or because he's only 36?

I'm not necessarily saying the same as Birdy - I still think Real Madrid could do the double as they have individual quality, experience and know how of doing it before. It's a big if, but could happen. I am simply talking about the pointlessness of graphics like the one posted earlier. You...

Nobody is even saying he's a poor player - hes a good player, has quality. The issue is stuff like people anointing him the new Zidane (another eye test not stats player) because he scores goals and sets them up. He is NOTHING like Zidane in talent, style of play, anything. It's just because he...

This whole debate seems pointless, you and me clearly think very differently to El Gato. I don't follow NBA but I have heard that Westbrook guy referenced before - a stats guy but didn't actually make the team better. Heard him compared to Fernandes a lot in football.
