A trivia question as we wait for kickoff. What's the connection between the players in this Leeds XI? #lufc Peacock-Farrell, Stevenson, Phelan, Hunter, Charles, Crew, McPhail, Lorimer, Speed, Poleon, Alan Smith

David Raya, there, with the perfect flicked backspin onto centre spot during the captain's handshake. Surely a clever psychological edge gained from that cheeky precision. And, in Mr Brightside, have we accidentally discovered the Champions League's answer to Abide With Me? #UCL #Arsenal #PSG

Constant, dizzying, yearlong, endless World Cup! Every kick of it massively mattering to someone, presumably. Every World Cup team will be playing World Cup several times and in various combinations. World Cup is officially going on forever! Watch the World Cup! www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

This is how players have performed over their last 6 in #FPL . A Return here is 5+ FPL points in a GameWeek. A Haul is 10+ points. Players in the Hauls section have one 10+ game but no other Returns. Players in team colours have a Haul to go with other returns.
