Yesterday’s TFA Talent was Federico Casolari who is a 20 y/o press-resistant midfielder on loan from Sassuolo learning his trade with Serie C side Gubbio – having video scouted him, we are in no doubt that Casolari is a deep-lying midfielder who will be able to play in the top five leagues in the world in the not-too-distant future.
Staying with the theme of unearthing hidden gems, Luis Kircher has dipped into Finland and highlighted three emerging stars.
Rayo Vallecano have had to go through a change since Andoni Iraola headed off to manage Bournemouth in the Premier League – Sakhu Mpofo takes a look at what is different on the pitch this season.
On Sunday, you’ll be able to get your hands on the October Total Football Analysis Magazine which will hit the digital shelves. It will be full of tactics, analysis, scouting, data viz and more as always – great value and included in a monthly membership at just €5.99, £5.20 or $6.29!
Caroline Weir has unfortunately suffered an ACL injury, putting her on the sidelines for the foreseeable. Last year, we highlighted why the 28 y/o quickly became a fan favourite at Real Madrid following her move to the Spanish club that summer.
Bilal El Khannouss scored his second goal of the 2023/24 Belgian Pro League season to help Genk earn a point from last night’s trip to Club Brugge. We scouted the 19 y/o Moroccan last season.
Alejandro ‘Papu’ Gómez is on his way to AC Monza; the Argentinian’s Sevilla contract was terminated on transfer deadline day. We delved into the details of his game during his time with Atalanta back in 2019. Now 35 years old, how much does he have left to offer in Serie A?
As per reports, Ivan Toney is set to depart Brentford in 2024. Last year, we analysed why the attacker needs to be snapped up by a European powerhouse — where will he end up if he does leave The Bees?
That’s it for today – we’ll be back on Sunday with the magazine launch. Spread the word!
