Watching Sky Sports News this weekend it was hard not to feel a rush of sympathy for Flex, the YouTube pundit and transfer-chat expert. Flex seems like a nice bloke. He’s clearly well informed on players and clubs. He seems to genuinely care about this stuff.

What is it? Is it good? What can it do? What do you think, Flex, about all this? Basically, Flex, just say Marcus Rashford words.
