  1. @PaokCT here is the relevant link: https://digitalhub.fifa.com/m/f99da4f73212220/original/edbm045h0udbwkqew35a-pdf.pdf

     

    And an excerpt from the first page is below. Seems participation in those tournaments provides greater weight, but qualification does not provide a bonus.

    Termed by FIFA as “SUM”, the new algorithm developed specifically for the new FWR was fine-tuned to reflect a number of FIFA’s considerations, including the following:

    - Adjusting the game weightings to give:

        o less importance to friendly matches and more importance to final round competitions, such as the FIFA World Cup               Finals

        o more importance to knock-out stage matches than group stage matches in final competitions

    - Excluding losses in knock-out rounds of final competitions from the calculation

     

    The second page goes into the formulas - I never thought they'd go so far as to use exponents in these calculations. Guess it makes sense; it actually would make the impact of beating a better team even better than UEFA's version (which just gives a set number of coefficient points for a simple win/draw result). Was this like this before? (Probably)

     

  2. What was Antonio's buy-out option for? 6 million? If so, we may have just made that much from the Conference league.

    Or, conversely, we could now buy Meite with cash left over. Puts us in a good position for next year, if either of those guys ends up being must-have players.

    MORE TO COME, FOLKS!

  3. You're right, that does make it worse. But Tsiggaras and Schwab are at least a proven duo at this point. I don't think Ozdoyev is better than either of them, too.

    Just means Lucescu needs to leverage Ozdoyev and Meite in the games leading up to that match, just to avoid any chance of injury. Would be just our luck for him to do the opposite and have us down a midfielder.

  4. I don't think we should be concerned at all. Let him get minutes in the league and play another guy there. We'll be just fine!

    -edit- ALSO - Trapp is their starter This is a big problem for them - Santos has a note saying he's not eligible until 2024, and Simoni is injured. They will need to call up youth players to fill their roster.

    -edit again- if transfermarkt is right, Grahl has only played twice in the last seven years? Insane if true

  5. Only managed to watch the first six minutes before my stream shat the bed and I was dragged in to three hours of meetings. Terrible day.

    Here are the highlights:

    • Nice scrappy goal by Samatta (and fantastic to see him finally score)
    • That Taison-Murg run was a thing of beauty. Focusing on each one separately (rewatching) is a must. Great reaction by Taison after he gets the pass off haha
    • Can't believe Zivkogoal's attempt (around 5 minutes in to this video) wasn't a goal. Fantastic defending
