After seven Gameweeks, we are beginning to accumulate sufficient data to begin making more confident assertions regarding a player’s underlying performance metrics.
This international break is, therefore, an ideal time to evaluate the potential candidates for the title of must-have budget midfielder this time around.

6 years, 7 months agoJust looked at Euro WC qualifier groups and results. With Sweden winning 8-0 now Holland have to win by 7-0?
Why not scrap goal difference as a tie breaker and use head to head. Some of the nations involved are too poor to be even at this stage tbh. San Marino on -44 and Liechtenstein/Gilbratar -34 after 9 games is an embarressment to International football.
