Don't need to defy it as Brazil have finally backed down.

The quote below is from the Brazilian manager.....Flies in the face of the stunt his FA have pulled!????

“A fair decision is to respect laws, a fair decision is first and foremost the health of people. The fair decision is that the sport is important, but it has a scale of importance in which health is above, the laws are above.”

Just heard on TalkSport that the Brazilian FA won't ask Everton to ban Richarlson from playing because they "have a special relationship" with Everton!! Something to do with him playing in the Olympics. This is truly farcical and FIFA should tell Brazil to do one

Yep. Was laughing at that  in our thread yesterday. Makes a mockery of the rule when they are allowed to pick and choose who is affected.

Now that (most) of the mickey mouse games are over, a quick reminder to get your predictions for week 4 sorted. Some appear to be having problems with the new site so if you are affected, get them in a day early. Deadline for this week is 18:30 Thai time on Saturday. Cheers.

Why should football players get special/different  treatment to everyone else ?

They are ordered to go by their respective FA's....they are not on their holidays. And there are exemptions already in place eg: for government employees.

UK Government could have shown some common sense as well by exempting players from quarantine if they pass a test on their return. Boris Johnson & Common sense is not a good fit though!????

Latest reports are saying 5 clubs will have their Brazilian players banned for 5 days for not allowing them to travel to the game. LFC, Chelsea, Man U and Citeh players affected and Utd/Chels players will miss a CL game as well as a Prem League game.

Leeds also affected. Other clubs include Wolves, Newcastle and Watford as players from other nations also banned.

Complete joke....Just have to hope UEFA or the ECA have the balls to stand up to FIFA on this one!

In all seriousness, Internationals need binning in the current climate. Brazil is 'Red' therefore players need to quarantine on their return to the UK. Now it looks as if, according to Brazil anyway, players from UK must quarantine there before they can even play a game, yet they still requested clubs to allow their own UK based national players to travel there! God knows when Villa/Spurs players can play for their clubs again, and a similar situation will occur in a month or so.  FIFA fat cats will no doubt take no notice but it is now becoming a total farce. 

Apparently Buendia and Martinez said they had been playing for Estonia Villa????

Weeks 4-6 are available to download. Plenty of time due to the bloody International break!

Hojbjerg is a great passer of the ball but not sure he has the pace or ability to beat a man to play further forward.

He does for the Danes.

.but we need to create more opportunities for our strikers.

Now you have Skipp back maybe you should play Hojbjerg more advanced as Denmark do....Caused a few problems for your lads last night.

Could have legs this one. No name given but Media reporting that an International Premiership player has been locked up! The age of the player fits Sigurdsson.

Does he have previous? Or are other players involved?....The Icelandic Government have launched an inquiry into sex scandal cover ups! Their FA have resigned en mass!

Emerson coming in from Barca for 30m euros. Dunno where that leaves Aurier, Doherty and even Tanganga?

Scores are available. Congrats to Champers with 36, just pipping Balo by a point. In the Overall comp, Jip99 remains our 'Spurs' with smokie36 taking over the Arsenal spot at the foot of the table????

That can work but be careful of knee jerking too quickly.

Don't say I didn't warn you????.....After the events of the last few days, the early wildcarders will have to spend quite a few points rebuilding their squads.

This week's deadline is 18:30 Thai time on Saturday.
