Liverpool ready to make offer for Brazilian WONDERKID
The right-winger scored during last week's Recopa Gaucha against Sao Jose - paying tribute to Diogo Jota after his goal. Having steered a calm finish beyond the goalkeeper, Alysson sat cross-legged on the turf and mimed Jota's famous gamer celebration.

And according to prominent Gremio journalist Bruno Soares - as reported by Bolavip - Liverpool are getting ready with a bid.
'Liverpool is closely monitoring Alysson's progress and may submit an official offer in the coming weeks,' a report reads.
'The 19-year-old player has been watched by scouts from the English club, who see him as having promising potential for the future.'
Liverpool want Gremio starlet Alysson
Liverpool are currently well-stocked with first-team options in Alysson's preferred position. And the report adds that the winger could instead be placed with the club's underage sector or else loaned out to another European club until he establishes himself.

'The striker can play both on the wings and centrally, a trait that appeals to European clubs,' the report states.
'At Liverpool, he would be seen as a medium-term option, potentially joining the under-23 squad initially or being loaned out to adapt to European football.'
Alysson's reported $60m release clause
Homegrown Alysson first signed a pro deal with Gremio back in 2022. That contract included a $40m release clause. His deal was improved last year - tying him to the club until 2028 - and the release clause went up to $60m.

VICIS, Schutt Helmets Top Updated Virginia Tech Football Safety Ratings
VICIS ZERO2 and Schutt F7 2.0 Helmets Shine Under New Tougher Safety Standards Designed to Help Better Protect Athletes at All Levels PLAINVIEW, Ind., July 17, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--This week, the Virginia Tech Helmet Lab recalibrated its helmet testing protocols to better reflect how well helmets manage impacts tied to concussion risk, and both VICIS and Schutt helmets continue to meet and exceed these more rigorous safety standards while other popular models drop in rating. This shift aims to ensure that 5-star ratings reflect only the most advanced protection available. As a result, the number of youth football helmets earning a 5-star rating decreased by more than 75%, with only six helmets earning a top rating. The VICIS ZERO2 Youth helmet now remains among one of only two 5-star-rated youth helmets readily available for purchase. "These updated ratings are monumental for football safety at every level," said Jeremy Erspamer, CEO of Certor Sports, parent company of Schutt and VICIS. "They re-establish what it means to be a top-performing helmet and provide a clearer roadmap for parents and coaches to choose the best protection for their athletes. We are proud that VICIS and Schutt helmets continue to set the gold standard as we protect the future of the game." Virginia Tech's STAR (Summation of Tests for the Assessment of Risk) system evaluates helmets based on how well they reduce head acceleration in sports-specific impact scenarios tied to concussion risk. With stricter thresholds, only helmets with exceptional performance now earn the highest 5-star designation. Virginia Tech Helmet Lab only recommends players wear helmets that receive a 5-star or 4-star rating. In the Youth Football Helmet category, the VICIS ZERO2 Youth earned a 5-star rating, placing it in the top tier for impact protection. Multiple Schutt helmets received a 4-star rating, reaffirming the brand's reputation among parents, coaches, and programs seeking elite-level head protection. In the Varsity Football Helmet category, only 11 varsity helmets received 5 stars, including four from Certor Sports, the most of any other brand. The VICIS ZERO2 and VICIS ZERO2 TRENCH remain standout performers, both earning a 5-star rating under the tightened benchmarks. The Schutt F7 2.0 was recognized for its superior impact severity reduction, also receiving a 5-star rating. "These new ratings should be a wake-up call with Virginia Tech no longer recommending some of the most commonly used helmets in youth and varsity football," Erspamer said. "Just because a helmet is widely used doesn't mean it's the safest. This should be a moment of reckoning for the entire football ecosystem, from manufacturers to coaches and parents. We owe it to young athletes to go beyond familiarity and focus on verified protection." Certor Sports' continued innovation and leadership in protective design ensures that its helmets consistently rank among the safest in the game, an achievement made more meaningful by the raised bar.

The fantasy football wide receivers to draft … and those to avoid
Similar to our previous installment in the 'Draft Chasms of Doom' series focused on running backs, we see some steep declines in player value right at the top of the curve when we look at wide receivers. This is particularly true at the very top. So much so that the tiers in the graph below, which are based on some of the biggest drops in my Value Over Replacement Player (VORP) projections, somewhat misrepresent my evaluations of the very best WRs. Advertisement I believe there are only two truly elites at the position: Ja'Marr Chase or Justin Jefferson. The projections will always skew conservative, but those two have a higher and more attainable ceiling. That said, in this series we're mainly focused on avoiding big drops to a low floor. Here's what we mean. We're examining some of the biggest dips within my 2025 positional projections, the aforementioned 'Draft Chasms of Doom,' to show why smart drafting isn't simply selecting the next-highest-ranked player at a position of need. While rankings do illustrate player value, they don't necessarily showcase the difference in value, which can sometimes be vast. The graphs below depict those fall-offs (cliffs, Chasms of Doom, take your pick) and understanding them is essential to drafting deftly. If this is the year of the 'Hero RB' strategy, elite wide receivers may be available later in the first round than usual, which may allow managers to capitalize on the top receivers, particularly if those receivers are Chase or Jefferson, two receivers that project ahead of all but the very best running backs. There's also another very important takeaway for fantasy managers at this position as we move later in the draft. The drop from Amon-Ra St. Brown to Drake London (7.6 points) is among the bigger ones in the projections, but again, I truly believe there's a notable difference between Chase and Jefferson and the rest of the field. Personally, my next tier would break before Tyreek Hill because while the next 6 to 7 wide receivers after Jefferson have WR1 upside, risks and team situations create a tougher path. If I come out of my first three rounds with a Top 10 RB and two wideouts from the top two tiers shown here, I'd be giddy. If I have to dip into Tier 3 due to how the draft plays out, I will likely double down and get another high-end Tier 3 WR. Once the Tier 3 group is off the board — here or in my ranks — I'd probably head back to running backs, maybe even a quarterback or tight end, as the projections become super flat in Tier 4. The difference between WR23 and WR40 was 30 points last year, and we have seen a similar slow decline annually. Obviously, the charts end before the lottery tickets and high-upside fliers come into play, and I'll have my share of those. However, it's interesting to see how we can get overly attached to some of these WR4s (and WR5s) who have very small gaps among them. That same 30-point gap mentioned above also occurred between WR44 and WR64 last year, and is depicted similarly in the projections for 2025. I'm not pointing this out to say 'forget drafting any receivers after Tier 3,' but rather to express that this is the point in the draft that taking high-end bench RBs may be a good option. And if you are drafting a WR, don't fret if your favorite sleeper — Ricky Pearsall — goes before your pick. Instead of reaching two rounds over cost for your guy, aim for another player in a similar situation, or with a quick path to a starting job if something broke right. (Or, well, broke wrong for the wideout in front of them.) (Photo of Amon-Ra St. Brown: Gregory Shamus / Getty Images)
