Who were the big omissions from Fifa 22's team of the year? By Jonny Bray One of the most anticipated events for fans of Fifa across the globe is the release of the game's Team of the Year. What started as a promotion on a computer game has now become a genuine source of debate, as fans debate which of the stars of world football deserve to make it in. We've even seen the Team of the Year feature reach Monday Night Football. Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville have discussed the team in-depth, and it just goes to show how blurred the lines are between real life and computer games when it comes to football.

  Is it time for Liverpool to sell Joe Gomez? By Jack Lacey-Hatton For so long last season the heart of defence was a major issue for Liverpool. This time 12 months ago, following a horrible injury to Virgil Van Djik, centre-half had become a weak spot for the Reds, who suffered a disappointing loss of form in January. But now Jurgen Klopp’s team once again has one of the strongest backlines in Europe, with a range of options in the middle of defence. The summer arrival of Ibrahima Konaté, has added depth to a squad that already boasted Joel Matip, and arguably the best-in-the-world, Van Djik. But the signing of Konaté, has also put Joe Gomez in a sticky position. The English defender has suffered numerous injury problems in recent seasons, and while he does look a force to be reckoned with when on the pitch, is it now time to review whether his services should be retained.  Both Real Madrid and Aston Villa are being linked with a move for him when the January window opens in ...
