Preseason has begun and the ATP has kicked into gear with the annual team assessment.  But before the pod gets into the depths of the EFC squad, the full Power Trio give their takes on the collapse of the Friedkin Group takeover negotiations, as well as make some observations from the Sligo Rovers friendly.     As they move into the Assessment, Alex, James, and Ryan focus more on individual player performance rankings based on several analytical models and explore some of the current state of Silly Season gossip.  Lots of dialogue with some surprising opinions on things such as DCL, Dele Alli, as well as rumors for guys like Jake O’Brien, Willy Gnonto, Jesper Lindstrom, Ricardo Rios, Kalvin Phillips, Scott McTominay, Angelo Preciado, Weston McKennie, Tanner Tessmann, and many more.
