Is #fpl not doing auto subs any more?? Why has Diego Gomez not been subbed in?

Todibo, hm. Was a big deal when he went to West Ham - in and around the French squad, linked to Man U and Juve - but didn't do well in a bad situation there. "Thinks he's better than he is" is the West Ham take on him, but I think this stands out - at Nice he was very comfortable in possession #AVFC

Whilst I disagree with the timing of the move, I think this shows why Villa are moving off Martinez. A clear decline evident in his shot stopping after his initial peak #AVFC

Three appearances. He can play friendlies for either nation's youth sides but of he plays for Luxembourg's senior side again he will be stuck with them. He'll be eligible for England senior selection in 2028
In September 2020 fifa ruled that players may switch nations 3 years after having played no more than 3 competitive senior matches before turning 21 (excluding world cup or continental finals appearances)

If I was at the FA, this list would have me straight on the phone to Villa to pile in to support us in our CAS case to get Madjo playing ASAP. Not to put too much pressure on the lad but is he England's only hope? 😅 #AVFC

Very sweet line here - but the fact he's taking a pay cut is fascinating, and perhaps explains why we're comfortable giving such a long contract for a player his age (obviously necessary for amortisation reasons) #AVFC
Text reads:
Abraham was wanted by other Premier League clubs [highlighted:] but has no desire to return to the top flight unless it was to Villa. [/Highlighted]. 
The forward, who is keen to fight his way into World Cup contention with England, will make a considerable financial sacrifice in order to complete the move."

r/avfc post from u/WordsUnthought

"AFCON Safety Warning (posted on Sunday)

Decided to wash down the result this afternoon with the opening match of the AFCON. 

Wasn't emotionally prepared for the menace that is Ayoub El Kaabi subbing on for Morocco in the second half and immediately scoring a worldie. 

That man still scares me. Stay safe out there everyone. "

Garcia vs Emi's GK stats, courtesy of @fbref.com. Pretty similar profiles for individual stats, obviously Espanyol are a worse team so Garcia's counting stats are worse, and they're playing it long more etc. Looks similar to Emi in his stopping crosses and really impressive shot stopping stats #AVFC

Best response on the AC Shadows concocted outrage
Post from Hiroko Yoda:
"From today's Times. “Assassin's Creed Shadows” let players run wild in shrines and temples and destroy them. They patched it out, but it was unforgivable to begin with. They wouldn't have disrespected a church or synagogue. Maybe they thought Japanese (sic) wouldn't notice or mind. We do. Very much."
