Many of you will be receiving notifications that your complimentary GBE Expert Hub passes will be coming to an end.
I hope that you have enjoyed having free access for the month of October, and it is the first time that we have extended our coverage to such an extent, so we are still working on the right balance.
However, I wanted to allow you in on the plan for November.
Because I think that you will find it interesting
Because it holds us all accountable
Because you might want to buy a month pass

AFC Champions League Two 2025/26 Preview: Why this is a tournament worth scouting by UK clubs
It is a lesser known quirk of the ESC criteria that participation in any continental tournament, even the qualifying rounds, allows a player to be eligible for an ESC slot.
Big Analysis Piece
My own big analysis piece will concentrate on those players in ESC slots and assess who is performing well, who might be close to conversion, and who looks to have been a poor move.
This month’s was on ESC strategy, it is here if you missed it:
ESC Strategy Across England's Four Leagues
When the FA brought in ESC (Elite Significant Contribution) in May 2023 I wonder how much thought was given to how it was going to be used across the four professional leagues.
December’s Get Ahead on GBE & 1-2-1 Slots
I will also be promoting the second Get Ahead on GBE session which will take place on 8th December. Please DM for tickets, there will be limited availability, especially as some people bought spaces for this session in September.
I am also launching a 1-2-1 service in November. If you need specialist time and advice on all matters GBE then I currently have four slots available for November.
Converting to paid
A final reminder that there will be no more free content following 31st October.
If you want access to the comprehensive coverage we are offering then you will need a paid subscription.
£5 a month is the cost, but you can also pay £55 for a year, which obviously gives you a discount over the period of time.
Thanks for your time, enjoy the November coverage!
