The hosts work it to Garnacho on the left, in space to run at the Leeds defence. Leeds win the ball back just inside the Manchester United half, and Gnonto sets off towards goal on the right. He looks to play a first-time ball into Bamford's run into the box, but overhits his pass. The young Argentine can't get a a shot away, but the ball falls to Sabitzer in shooting space on the edge of the box. Harrison feeds it forward to Sinisterra on the right-hand corner of the United penalty area. United finally enjoy a prolonged period in the Leeds half, and create their first chance of the night. From the corner, De Gea makes a bit of a hash of his attempt to come out and punch/claim, and it drops to Bamford. Dalot does well to smother the Italian's attempts to cross, however, and gets it out for a corner. His cut-back is slightly mishit, but falls straight to Fred at the top of the box - but the Brazilian scuffs his strike straight into a wall of white shirts! Koch wins it back inside the United half, and feeds it forward to Gnonto. Receiving the ball on the left, he slips it forward for Shaw's run to the byline, before advancing into the box. The loose ball dropped right to Fred, but he sidefooted it right at Meslier.

Three years later, as the club thrives, they decide to fix what isn’t broken and offload any players close to, or on the wrong side of 30, in an attempt to get younger. Spurs fans agree Palmer was the wrong choice and Levy eventually sells the club after the supporters grow tired of him meddling in transfers. Two years after his arrival, nobody remembers Rodri now plays in west London as Fulham establish themselves as a side that flits between mid-table and top-half finishes. Why: No team has scored fewer goals than Wolves so far (15). How it plays out: The threat of him overlapping, playing progressive passes and utilising his pace to keep opposing wingers in check, turns out to be a wise move. Leeds are in midtable for goals scored (26, 11th place) but have conceded the fourth-most goals (36) and sit 16th in the table.

It’s enough to help Nathan Jones get overlooked for the manager of the year award by the time the season ends with Southampton in ninth place.

But Manchester City was secretly playing by its own rules—rules that allowed it to better utilize its extraordinary financial resources in a way that skewed what passes in the league for competitive balance and financial fair play. Fairness is a necessity in sports; it now seems fairly clear that the Premier League is not and has not been fair for quite some time. (To be fair, these allegations also show just how hard it is to win the Premier League—City cooked the books and often only narrowly edged out the competitions; the team has never won the Champions League.)

The Premier League alleges that it has found breaches dating all the way back to 2009. And to keep the Premier League from being sucked into the vortex of this financial scandal, it will have to deal with the club—and deal with them in the harshest possible terms. Desperate for the minor advantages that lead to sporting success, the club relentlessly fudged its financial data, so it could more fully utilize its clear economic advantages.

After a poor season so far for Liverpool, might their assets start to be the difference-makers over the coming weeks in FPL?

Aside from Liverpool’s two fixtures in Gameweek 25, another reason to go for Salah and Nunez is that they are both owned by relatively few FPL managers, so it’s a good time to get ahead of the curve. The Uruguayan may not be the most clinical, but he is a player who arrives in great goal-scoring positions, reflected in his high xG. If Liverpool start to score goals more freely again, it’ll likely be Salah or Nunez involved. And with Van Dijk and [Ibrahima Konate](https://theathletic.com/football/player/ibrahima-konate-vi83z5XUFDUq6gFF/) (£4.8m) out injured, there is little confidence that Liverpool’s defence will improve soon. Although this may lead us to believe that Nunez is a bad finisher, his career stats tell us differently. He has also created 38 chances with an xA (expected assists) of 3.1. He will be worth buying again — at the right time. He has seven goals and five assists this season, with the highest xG (9.17) among midfielders (which is what FPL classes him as). Things are likely to improve in this regard with the return of injured players such as In attack, last season Liverpool had already scored 52 goals by this point, with an xG of 50.38. They have conceded 28 goals with an expected goals conceded (xGC) of 29.2. After the same number of games last season, they had conceded 18 goals, with an xGC of 19.72.

The English soccer league's accusation that Manchester City is overspending fails to address the larger question of who should be allowed to own teams.

Another important move would be a genuine “fit and proper persons” test, applied consistently and effectively, to stop bad actors taking over clubs in the first place. But this is the issue most in need of attention. One possible outcome would be an independent regulator for soccer that would have authority to decide on ownership of the country’s teams. Supporters of the deal pointed out that Abu Dhabi already has a majority stake in the Manchester City club, while a Qatari fund owns France’s Paris Saint-Germain team (and Qatari investors are [reportedly now planning to buy Manchester United](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-02-08/manchester-united-shares-surge-as-qatari-report-stokes-m-a-bets?sref=iRPGYJiK)). The Premier League’s new focus on City’s overspending will not head off any action by government, because it doesn’t address the question of team ownership. Perhaps most controversial of all, in April 2021, a group of teams whose owners included private equity barons and sovereign wealth funds — Manchester City among them — made an unsuccessful bid to form a breakaway European super league with a no-relegation, no-promotion model more familiar to U.S. But fans of the game — and the league — should be concerned about what enforcing these rules would really achieve. And in so doing, it would avoid the more foundational question of who should own English football teams. This week, though, England’s Premier League — one of the world’s richest and most watched sports organizations — announced a move that runs contrary to its popular no-holds-barred approach. The move would have, in one swoop, safeguarded these so-called elite clubs and eliminated what makes football exciting. In essence, these rules state that a team should not spend more on players than it collects in revenue. The worst teams get relegated — kicked down to a lower tier where money is much harder to come by.
