GWT: EPL - Matchweek 1

[Peen]

Fantastic ball by Enzo.

Better defending by Rico Lewis. Lot of defenders fall asleep on that

 

[al secord]

Great ball. Better defending.

 

[Blender]

Neto immediately making an impact.

 

[al secord]

Studs up

 

[Peen]

I don’t think that’s even a yellow but if you’re calling it as a studs up dangerous thing to the shins, is that not a red? @hatterson

Weird call. Just shoulda been a foul

 

[Blender]

Guiu and KDH time.

Ya. Yellow is harsh, but my old school brain is telling me if it's a card given, shouldn't it be red?

 

[Sad People]

I also dont understand how Chelsea affords all these players when Newcastle seems to be struggling with PSR and it seems like they dont bring in anyone or spend like Chelsea.

 

[Peen]

Dont know why wes is complaining there

If that had been Halland coming in with studs up with force maybe, but there's a big difference between barely glancing a player with studs while you're kicking at a ball in the box and falling backwards and coming in with a straight leg and weight behind it.

My guess is he actually got the yellow for dissent as opposed to the foul itself.

We sell a lot of players.

 

[Evilo]

Fofana doing well still.

And another great tackle from Fofana.

Selling all the homegrown players and buying players and then giving them 8 year contracts so that the cost gets spread out during that time.

Chelsea has much higher revenue and has a lot of sales.

The sales specifically are what allow crazy spending since a 25 million sale of an amortized player can completely offset the first year purchase of a 125 million player as far as FFP/PSR are concerned. The issue really comes in years 2-5 as you have to keep selling to offset that and it's why guys like Gallagher are on the selling block because they can bring in a large offset.

Selling tons of players and the loan army bringing a lot of revenue in.

 

[Sad People]

Sweet thanks for the insight. Ive tried understanding the PSR and FFP and i still cant wrap my head around it.

 

[Evilo]

Clear as day handball but don't know the new rules.

Would have been last season, they changed the rules though.

I just hope they are actually consistent this season...

 

[hatterson]

Uhh, that certainly seemed like he was making his body bigger by having the arm away from the body there.

Sure it was hit from close range, but he had his arm way out.

It's a penalty without even a single thought in every other major league and in continental competition.

Shouldnt crap like this not really matter with FFP and all that? I guess if i understood it more it would make sense.

It does because FFP is about how much money you are allowed to lose, not how much you are allowed to spend.

They added these considerations again:

- Justifiable position/action
- Supportive arm when player falls
- Player kicks or head the ball onto their own arm
- Clear change of trajectory when touched by, or deflected from, the same player
- Played by a teammate
- Proximity
