We have found that these topics often generate the most reads: transfer news, best ever, worst ever, top 10 lists, controversial topics (ex: goal-line technology, homophobia/racism in football, etc), manager and tactical analysis, and so on. Having said that, we want you to trust your instinct and write about whatever you think will make a compelling article. In the end it’s totally up to you. Read more one our editorial guidelines.
