BATTLE OF THE BOSSES Arsene Wenger copied Antonio Conte’s 3-4-3 shape towards the end of last season, and he’s hinted that he’ll carry on with the new formation. The Gunners blew Chelsea away in the FA Cup final, so The Blues will want to prove they’re the back three bosses! ARSENAL’S ACE RECORD The Gunners have history on their side, and are closing in on Liverpool’s tally of 15 shields – only Man. United have won more! The FA Cup winning team has beaten the Prem champs in the last three clashes too, so they could continue that streak! CHELSEA FLOPS The Blues have a terrible record in this clash – they’ve only won one of their last six, and have an overall win rate of just 36%! They played…

SWAPSIES! Barça are interested in a couple of PSG’s players too, so a swap deal could be possible. CM Marco Verratti and defender Marquinhos are both top talents, so if the Spanish club can get them in a player-plus-cash deal, they could be tempted to sell! CRAZY MONEY! Spies in Spain and France say PSG are ready to meet the release clause in Neymar’s contract, so Barça won’t be able to reject the offer ! The deal would destroy Paul Pogba’s current transfer record – NJR’s buy-out clause is almost £200 million! IS THIS FOR REAL? We seem to hear about these stories all the time. When one of the big names from Real or Barcelona hints at leaving, they get offered a huge new contract and end up staying…

THE MOVE! KYLE SAYS: “It feels a bit surreal, having been at my previous club for so many years, but yeah, I’m excited! It’s a new chapter in my career and I can’t wait to get started. Everyone has been so welcoming, and I’m just really looking forward to it.” CITY MATES! KYLE SAYS: “I know Stonesy and Raheem from England – we spend a lot of time together playing PlayStation! Me and Fabian go back a long way, too – we used to play each other when I was at Sheffield United and he was at Bradford and Leeds, and then we were at Aston Villa together. It’s nice to see so many familiar faces!” ATTACKING STYLE! KYLE SAYS: “Attacking is a big part of my game. I’m a…

FIFA DIARY SEASON 2  Our Career Mode Dortmund side faced their toughest test recently! ★ We tried a 3-4-3 formation to take on Bayern Munich, with defensive players out wide and a pacy front three. With Weigl as a DM, we got Alli pushing forward to support the attacks, and he caused them loads of problems! ★ Reus and Origi gave us a 2-0 lead, but we got punished for playing with CBs who struggle in the air. Bayern pegged us back to 2-2 with two headers from crosses into our box, but the draw means we’re still top of the Bundesliga! ★ Our Man Of The Match was defo Reus. He’s not just a sick dribbler, he gets into ace attacking positions and took his goal brilliantly! The Germany…

CLUB FACTFILE Full Name: Brighton & Hove Albion Founded: 1901 Nickname: The Seagulls Stadium: The Amex Stadium Capacity: 30,750 THE TOWN ... GLENN SAYS: “Brighton itself is a great town on the seaside, and we get plenty of good weather down here. It’s gonna be a great away day for fans next season!” THE STADIUM... GLENN SAYS: “Our ground’s called The Amex, and I really enjoy playing here! The North Stand behind the goal is where the fans make all the noise – they usually sing, ‘Albion, Albion!’ and, of course, ‘There’s only one Glenn Murray!” THE PLAYERS... GLENN SAYS: “The best finishers are Sam Baldock and Tomer Hemed. Anthony Knockaert is really skilful, so that’ll be where we get our goals from. I like to think I’ll chip in…

0.68 Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has the best goals-to-game ratio of all the players in the Premier League’s top ten goalscorer list. Hero! A quarter of next season’s Prem kits are made by Puma – more than any other brand!  Neymar has bagged 116 La Liga goals and assists combined in just 123 games for Barça! New Everton signing Cuco Martina’s full name is actually Rhu-endly Aurelio Jean-Carlo Martina. We can see why he just goes with Cuco! 80% Chelsea new boy Tiemoue Bakayoko had the highest tackle success rate in Ligue 1 last season. Can he do the same in the Prem? 5 Kiern Trippier got the same number of Prem assists as former team-mate kyle Walker last season, but played 2,138 fewer mintues than him. Quality! Marcus Rashford…

THE LOWDOWN Arsene Wenger’s been watching the ex-Lyon ace for the last ten years, and he’s finally got his man in a record-breaking deal! The Gunners gaffer is hoping the striker will be just as deadly in England as he was in France – nobody’s scored more Ligue 1 goals than Lacazette in the last three seasons. He’s deadly! PLAYS LIKE... FACTFILE Club: Arsenal Country: France Position: Striker Age: 26 Previous Club: Lyon 2016-17 Games/Goals: 30/28 Transfer Fee: £46.5 million Boots: Nike Hypervenom THE LOWDOWN 22-year-old Bakayoko is a real box-to-box, all-action central midfielder! He can pass, tackle, dribble and head like a boss, so he’ll be a top partner for N’Golo Kante at The Bridge. The France man played a key role in Monaco’s run to the CL semi…

KYLIAN MBAPPE MONACO Whether Mbappe gets his big-money move this summer or not, his OVR will go up by loads for FIFA 18 ! The wicked wonderkid didn’t even get a Winter Upgrade on FIFA 17, but we reckon he’ll be well into the 80s for the new game! OUSMANE DEMBELE DORTMUND Dembele goes on to become one of the best players in the world on Career Mode, and he will do in real life too! He’s already a rapid dribbler, and he’ll defo be one of the best wingers on the new game ! GIANLUIGI DONNARUMMA AC MILAN We were surprised when Donnarumma got a two-point boost in last season’s Winter Upgrades, because we thought it should have been a lot more! The stopper is top class, and should…

5 QUESTIONS ON...

15 Although he started just 14 La Liga games last season, Morata scored 15 goals for Real – only Cristiano Ronaldo got more! 3.7 He’s a proper clinical finisher! His league goals came from just 55 shots, so he only needed around three shots for every goal! 24 In all competitions for club and country, Morata scored 24 times in 48 games, averaging a goal every 71 minutes! THE RUMOUR MILL! RIYAD MAHREZ Leicester to Roma £40 million EMRE CAN Liverpool to Juventus £31 million RICARDO PEREIRA Porto to Tottenham £22 million CALUM CHAMBERS Arsenal to Crystal Palace £20 million…

CHRIS WOOD Leeds Wood is the only player currently in the Championship to score 20+ goals in last season’s comp. His total of 27 wasn’t enough to fire Leeds to the play-offs, but the New Zealand ace will believe he can take them up this time! JOHN TERRY Aston Villa The biggest Football League story of the summer was definitely the ex-England skipper signing for Villa! The 36-year-old only started six league games last season, so 46 Championship matches will be a big ask for him! If JT can stay fit though, we reckon he’ll boss it! FAMARA DIEDHIOU Bristol City Two years ago, Bristol City broke their transfer record to sign an African striker from Angers, and this summer The Robins have done it again! Jonathan Kodjia hit 19…
