The September window was stretched to three weeks, with many countries playing four matches. Thirty-five players have come out of it with injuries or fitness problems, though not all of them were caused by international football.

Most lists of football's fastest players are built on reputation, and the numbers rarely agree.

Promotion and relegation isn't unique to English football, most of the world's leagues run some version of it, though the mechanics vary enormously. A region-by-region breakdown of how it actually works, and the countries where a genuine legal fight is underway over whether it should exist at all.

The Premier League sells its rights country by country, and almost nobody gets the same deal. This guide covers every major market, UK, US, Australia, Brazil, Nigeria, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Africa, what each service actually costs, what it doesn't give you, and where genuine free options exist.
