Deforestation of the Amazon Rainforest has been a huge worldly topic for a couple decades now. We all know its importance to the world and humankind, but no one has done much to help save it.
This year, the transfer market promises to look very different as clubs look to conserve money during a difficult financial time. While COVID-19 might put a damper on expensive transfers, there is still plenty of good value in the market.

Goalkeeper is a frequently criticized but rarely praised position.
