Hot take The template WC3 backline (NOR Calafiori Hall De Cuyper Konsa) is fragile and a potential disaster waiting to happen. No defcons and all varying degrees of mins/injury risks. Reeks of favouring short term picks purely because that strategy has worked out so far

I re-calculated every FPL bonus point from 2025/26 under the new 2026/27 BPS rules. All 380 fixtures re-calculated; the bonus re-ranked in each. The 4 changes: CBI now 1 per 3 (was per 2), 'being tackled' -1 removed, pen save 8 to 7, +1 per big-chance save. Thread 🧵👇

🚨Ole Gunnar Solskjær on Norway’s disallowed goal against England after Torbjørn Heggem’s finish: 🗣️ “Norway have been cheated. I don’t say that lightly, but I genuinely don’t understand how that goal has been disallowed. I watched the replay several times, and I don’t see enough contact from Erling Haaland on Anderson to justify cancelling the goal. Football is a physical game. Players are allowed to compete for position. If we’re going to disallow goals for every slight touch, then we’ll be ruling out goals every weekend. Haaland didn’t push him with excessive force, he didn’t pull him back and he certainly didn’t do enough to make Anderson fall the way he did. For me, Anderson goes down far too easily, and the referee has rewarded it. The most frustrating part is that Torbjørn Heggem did everything right. He stayed focused, finished the move brilliantly and should be celebrating one of the biggest goals of his career. Instead, the conversation is about a decision that, in my opinion, is simply wrong. VAR is supposed to correct clear and obvious mistakes, not create controversy where there wasn’t any. I don’t believe this was a clear foul. I believe it was two players competing physically, which is something we’ve seen in football for decades. These decisions change matches. At 2–1, England are under enormous pressure. Instead, Norway have a perfectly good goal taken away, and that is incredibly difficult to accept. If that’s enough contact to disallow a goal, then football is becoming impossible for centre-forwards. In my opinion, Norway deserved that goal, and they’ve every right to feel extremely disappointed.”

Det er ingen egen VAR-protokoll under VM, men FIFA har implementert det IFAB besluttet i mai. Og ja: 1) Skandale at det ikke ble dropp da ballen traff vaier. Chip funker altså ikke «høyt i lufta»? 2) Skandale at det ble dømt frispark mot Haaland. VAR skulle aldri anbefalt OFR.

The day after Yesterday! A principal discussion - nothing to do with England: 1. The ball hits the wire of the Spidercam a) players and the bench react instantly b) video-technology from different channels show it 2. FIFA say it did not hit the wire So two simple questions that need to be answered: Does FIFA lie? Is the technology NOT working?

Our eyes tell us the ball hit the camera cable BBC’s 3D technology tells us the ball hit the camera cable But the sensor inside the ball didn’t notice it therefore it didn’t happen and we must all bow down to the technology Dystopian.

Corner kick life hack: have one of your shorter players fall down on any contact right before it’s taken. You don’t lose too much defending equity, but you gain the chance of a VAR get out of jail free card if the other team scores. I would have someone do this every corner kick.
England player clearly took a dive. Haaland’s push was nothing out of the ordinary for what I’ve seen this whole World Cup on corners. I have absolutely no idea what these people are thinking.
