That Show With Nico ep. 17 | Planet FPL 2026/27

Tottenham tried to force Richarlison out by not registering him, but he refused to move to Saudi Arabia or Turkey because it is a life choice, not just a football decision.

Tottenham now have enough attacking options to cover for Richarlison and might trigger a contract extension just to sell him.

Enzo Fernandez calling Manchester City his dream club disrespects Chelsea and ignores that Benfica is historically bigger.

Robbie Keane repeatedly called every new club his dream, showing players often use this phrase to endear themselves to new fans.

Manchester City and Chelsea are currently similar in size, though Chelsea might have more global fans right now.

Manchester City and Chelsea are similar in size, with City having a bigger stadium and Chelsea having more trophies over the last 20 years.

Ollie Watkins' claim that the Saudi Pro League standard is as good as the Premier League is false because there are no world-class central defenders there, and he is likely contractually obligated to promote the league.

Watkins is being paid to promote the Saudi league and would be devaluing himself by admitting the standard is lower.

Real Madrid fans are the most entitled fanbase in the world for booing Vinicius Junior and attacking Mbappe for not pressing, when Mourinho's tactics dictate their defensive work rate.

Mbappe did work hard for France at the World Cup, but the Real Madrid fans are ungrateful.

Graham Potter is bold for clapping back at social media critics who mocked his Pilates video and past managerial failures, without specifying which club he was criticizing.

Potter's responses are bold and funny, though he only technically put West Ham in a precarious position rather than relegating them.

It is disrespectful and unnecessary for the Dutch technical director to publicly state Xavi Hernandez was their third choice after Guardiola and Slot.

It is completely wrong to announce a manager as a third choice, and clubs often lie about who their first choice was anyway.

Messi has retired from international football for the second time at age 39, and it is the right time for him to stop.

Messi should stop playing for Argentina now, as he is 39 and won't keep going until he is 43.

Ronaldo should retire from the Portuguese national team immediately because he is dragging the team down and preventing a new forward from developing.

Ronaldo will likely continue playing for Portugal to reach 1,000 international goals and might even start at the 2030 World Cup.

He could only play for Liverpool for 30 seconds to a minute now because he is physically unable to do more.

Enrique's answer is fair and honest, as the body doesn't react the way the mind wants after retirement.

Jadon Sancho might never play top-level football again because his high wage demands from Manchester United make it impossible to find a club that can match his salary.

Sancho will have to take a massive pay cut and might retire early if he has saved enough money.

The Ballon d'Or has lost credibility because Ronaldo was not nominated and because it prioritizes team trophies over individual performance, citing the Lewandowski snub.

Harry Kane is the favorite to win, but he doesn't care about the award anymore because its focus on team success undermines its purpose as an individual award.

Vozinha lacks technique and coordination, specifically catching the ball with his thumbs on the side instead of behind it.

Bravo is unusually critical for a goalkeeper, as they typically protect each other.

Teams should not use goalkeepers to take penalties because it is dangerous if the penalty is missed and a counter-attack occurs.

If the goalkeeper is the best penalty taker, the upside of scoring outweighs the risk, and teams can leave a player back to cover.

The game is gone because UEFA gave a Respect Award to Marquinhos for consoling Gabriel after he missed a penalty.

The gesture is fine and likely PR, noting Marquinhos and Gabriel were center-back partners for Brazil and might be friends.
