Tugas won't do too well this edition of UTNT. Fun with names was one

Still, Marcus Edwards has earned himself a place in the line-up, so in he goes for Grealish.

Up against Villarreal away - not a chance an Austria Vienna player scores
But Albian Ajeti had his first really good game for us, so in he goes for Fitz.

Hasler was a bit of a joke I admit, but now nobody can say I disregarded the Liechtensteiners. Florian Kainz has been in tremendous form, and Rangnick's failure to call him up the first real black mark against his tenure as our Teamchef.

Kvaratskhelia looks like the real deal. I've actually been thinking that Salzburg
missed the boat on him, he would have been such a typical RB target. Time to extend the scouting network to the east...

Unless McKay and McKay-Steven are the same person. (Or S. Davis and Davis)

leave Danielson's the only defender goal.

I had to google him, but I unconsciously knew he most likely was either
a Brazilian/Portuguese or with origins from one of Portugal's old
African colonies.

Interactive map here that reflects my intuition:
https://nomesproprios.com/nome-euclides

Extracted from wikipedia:
Cabral was born in Lisbon, Portugal and is of Cape Verdean descent.
He is the cousin of (currently at Monaco) footballer Gelson Martins.

Add Gelson to the same set of names you won't encounter every day.

Yes, I must have accidentally entered them all in the wrong box. So the Vikings' best lineup only had 15 goals.

As written above, Janga has long decided to be more rocking.

A bit of relief for the Waffle/Windmills' efficiency score.

Thanks for all the corrections. Efficiency scores updated. For the record, the Thistle lead the goal efficiency ranking with a 100% score, followed by the Wonderland on 58.8% and the Soldner on 52.9%

Kusk is the only one I know, and he's a winger, not a defender. Once
