Scouting the UEFA Qualifiers: UCL and UECL 1st Round

Andy Watson and Joshua Young scour this fertile market for potential UK suitors

The World Cup is still going on, but the new UEFA seasons are starting now. Indeed, there are already some clubs who are out of Europe again for another season.

Why we at GBE Expert Hub think that these rounds are so important is because there is a heck of a lot of talent on display in these rounds who are likely to be under budget and potentially better on the field than some EFL clubs have, and Scottish clubs as well.

Bearing this in mind, we are publishing a list of players who are ESC eligible and who have the quality to make an impact in the UK. This will only include players who are 2003 born or later because of the new restrictions on ESC transfers.

Joshua Young gives his recommendations in the Champions League and Conference League qualifiers.

Part 2 of this report will give you a full list of players who are ESC eligible following the opening ties of the UEFA competition. This will be sent to pro subscribers over the weekend.
