China's GDP already exceeds the United States in purchasing power parity terms adjusted for informal economies, with projections showing it twice as large by 2040 as Asia outpaces the West. #China #USA https://www.worldeconomics.com/Thoughts/When-America-Becomes-No-3.aspx?ThoughtID=203
When America Becomes No 3: | World Economics
Chinas GDP is already significantly larger than US GDP. India is likely to overtake the US within a decade, making the USA no 3 in the world. Chinas GDP will be about twice that of the US, and Indias is likely to be about 30% larger than today. A very different new world is developing much faster than most investors understand.

I captained Ekitike too.
Swapped him from VC to C last night after rumours that 🤖 may not start.
His xGI over the last 6 GWs is highest across all FWDs.
Then Slot benches him!!
Gotta love #FPL 🙄
I’m now beginning to think of captaining Gabriel most GWs.

Liam Rosenior is the latest example of a manager using LinkedIn-speak to get his message across.

It is easy to ridicule — but does it work?

In the market for a luxury good? Here's a decision I'm wrestling with. I'm 3X Arsenal with Raya, DGW on the horizon. Worth a GK transfer? #FPL

AI makes mistakes, so do you.

While the art is basically the negative of a handprint, it’s a visceral, tangible link to the past—and one that has an unintentional story to tell about human exploration.

Used my #wildcard for GW22, hoping this doesn't come back to haune me. On the positive side my #fpl team value has increased to £106.4m and likely to rise further.

This week's FBref news brought different reactions wherever you looked. On X it was FPL players, on LinkedIn it was analysts, while over here it was a real mix

'For Bruno to come off it is a worrying sign, but fingers crossed.'

Right ankle: following a coming together with the PSV goalkeeper.

Newcastle play Villa on Sunday… and Bruno hasn’t missed a PL game through injury since August 2022.

Gabriel nears 7.0m. Terry holds a record which may never be beaten, as the most expensive defender in history, reaching 9.0m in 2004/05!

Stats:
🔹 24 clean sheets
🔹 196 points
🔹 13 goals conceded
