Ryan Mason's West Brom is off to a great start in the Championship. 2nd (3 wins, 1 draw).
Just beaten Stoke who had one 3 of 3. Still early days but it would be great for him and West Brom if he can get them into the playoffs.

Spurs u21s have quite a game in the EFL trophy. They were 3-0 up within 16 mins. Williams-Barnett excellent as the no 10.

Organic, free range, 100% sustainably sourced trophy.
None of that Billionaire, state-funded sport washed tosh.
It's not for everyone.
If you're arguing football is broken, why are you campaigning to break it even more instead of actually fixing it?

When we're not playing top team I dream of some sort of 4-2-3-1 with Kudus, Savino and Eze fluidly rotating behind the striker as in the Poch era.
For top teams and champions league, I can see this happening:

Updates UEFA Squad List based on current movements:
Looking thin in many areas but now with room to make one signing who isn't club trained.

4. Yang will likely be loaned out. The European squad with the B List (u21) and unregistered players totals 33 players.
Here is an estimate on how this squad looks from a position and depth perspective:

2. If this list were to be accurate and the only transfers made, then last season's squad would lose two players Son and Bissouma, but gain four new ones Gibbs-White, Palhinha, Kudus and Takai.
Here is where that leaves the Champions League Squad Registration Status:

Son decides to STAY!
I really hope this is true, I think we will need him this season.
Does anyone know the credibility of this report?

Mikey Moore has been a big and exciting part of our season, and I can only see him kicking on. He really made an impact in the league phase.
It's mad to think he's already a Europa League winner at 17. What a career he could end up having, hopefully with even more trophies for Spurs.

In the summer spurs should be looking to add a RW and CDM from the top right of both these graphs.
Rayan Cherki and Aleix Garciá, could be good options?

Yeah, there it is. Great work. Have you updated this all the way to the Forrest game?
Spurs, we're 6th before the Fulham game. Top 8 of the Europa and still in the league cup.

I've pin pointed it exactly. I'd say put injury crisis officially started post Man City win when all of Romero, VDV and Vicario were out. In addition the usual spat of injuries to Richarlison, Odobert. You also had Bentancur's suspension and Solanke, Moore out with illness.

A great comeback for Leyton Orient keeps them in the frame for playoff spots!
