Top 10 most valuable Serie A clubs based on market value

0

The Serie A has never lacked attracting the star players and payment of huge sums for talented footballers to grace the league.

Here, we take a look at the Italian football league and how the clubs in it stack up based on their overall market values:

10) Torino – €162.9 million

One of the quintessential top half sides, Torino are nowhere near their derby city rivals Juventus. However, they do have a decent side capable of performing on the day and have a few talented players like Andrea Belotti, Armando Izzo and Simone Verdi who are among the highly rated ones.

9) Sassuolo – €202.03 million

Probably the most improved team so far, they have a mix of good experienced and youth players. Led by Francesco Caputo and the likes of Jeremy Boga and Domenico Berardi as their most valuable players.

8) Fiorentina – €250.2 million

They have recently gone on a streak of buying older players in their final years, which has seen a slight decline in their figures. Nevertheless, Fiorentina are always up there challenging for the Europa League spots.

7) Roma – €337.25 million

Once a giant in Italian football, Roma have been resigned to playing Europa League in recent times. Having lost players like De Rossi and Manolas of late, they have invested in young players and developed academy talent who are worth millions in the present era.

6) Lazio – €364.70 million

A much-improved club in the past few years under coach Inzaghi, Lazio have paid small sums and groomed them to make world-beaters. The likes of Ciro Immobile, Joaquin Correa and Sergej Milinkovic Savic are all boosts to the market valuation figures of the team.

5) Atalanta – €386.85 million

Perhaps the dark horses of Italian football, no one expected them to emerge the way they have. With a shrewd transfer policy, Atalanta have developed players to compete for Champions League spots.

4) AC Milan – €445.9 million

The Rossoneri have taken the league by storm with vastly improved performances. And sitting top of the table, they have been able to make investments in players like Sandro Tonali, Brahim Diaz and Simon Kjaer to boost their current valuation.

3) Napoli – €603.48 million

Always the most efficient spenders, Napoli backed it up with an Italian cup win last season. Holding onto valuable footballers such as Koulibaly and Insigne, they were able to financially add on Victor Osimhen to their ranks and are currently fifth in the league.

2) Inter Milan – €655.50 million

The nearest challengers for the league crown, Inter have been able to sufficiently supplement their squad with some experienced and upcoming players. However, everything has not gone as per plan this season and so Inter will need to buck up their ideas this season.

1) Juventus – €707.70 million

Always the title favourites, Pirlo’s men have the best squad in the Serie A and have always been able to identify deals for good players at cheaper prices. Even this season, they have the likes of Ronaldo, Dybala and De Ligt who are capable of adding value to any squad in the world.

IPL 2020 winners to get just Rs 10 crores instead of Rs 20 crores!

Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 is in its business end. After only two matches, we would get to know which franchise will take home the glorious trophy.

After the tournament was postponed, after many hindrances and altercations, the IPL began on September 19 in UAE. The fact that IPL is even taking place under the situation is astounding. The sponsors made a lot of investments to make the tournament possible in such a short span. Even though the investments are healthy, the board has decided to make certain alterations to the IPL.

The Board of Cricket Control of India (BCCI) has decided to reduce the prize money for IPL 2020. Now the winner of the tournament will only get 50% of what the champions of IPL 2019 made.

How much exactly will the IPL winners and runners-up take home this year?

In a circular sent to all IPL franchises, the Indian cricket board notified that instead of a whopping Rs 20 crore, the 2020 champions will receive Rs 10 crores only. The runners-up will get Rs 6.25 crores instead of Rs 12.5 crore. The strict cost-cutting measures are a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

“THE FINANCIAL REWARDS HAVE BEEN REWORKED AS A PART OF THE COST-CUTTING MEASURES. THE CHAMPIONS WILL GET RS 10 CRORE INSTEAD OF RS 20 CRORE. THE RUNNERS-UP WILL GET RS 6.25 CROREs FROM EARLIER RS 12.5 CROREs,” A BCCI NOTIFICATION READ.

The two losing qualifiers will now get Rs 4.375 crores each.

“THE FRANCHISES ARE ALL IN GOOD HEALTH. THEY ALSO HAVE MULTIPLE WAYS LIKE SPONSORSHIPS TO BOLSTER THEIR INCOME. HENCE THE DECISION ON PRIZE MONEY WAS TAKEN,” A SENIOR BCCI SOURCE SAID.

IPL also did not have an opening ceremony this year. There is obviously unnecessary funding required for the ceremony. Also, under such conditions having a ceremony will be a violation of stringent social distancing protocols.

New Sapphire Radeon RX 6800 XT Pulse & NITRO+ teased

0

Sapphire is the primary GPU manufacturer for AMD Radeon graphics cards and so it enjoys some privileges as well. It has recently revealed or says teased their upcoming new RX 6800 XT GPUs on Twitter.

The same flagship GPU from AMD has two series – NITRO+ series and PULSE series. The Radeon RX 6800 XT will feature 72 Compute Units 4608 Stream Processors, and units will be paired along-side 16GB of GDDR6 memory. The card features a 256-bit memory bus and has a clock speed of above 2.0GHz. The game clock will be 2015 MHz while attaining a healthy 2250 MHz for the boost clock.

The 128MB infinity cache helps to further leverage better 4K gaming performance and is built upon the 7nm process, the total board power remains 300W. At $649, this is the perfect RTX 3080 killer and those who are struggling to get an NVIDIA card can genuinely pair an RX 6800 XT with a new Ryzen 5000 series processors to get the best results.

However, both of these custom NITRO+ and PULSE models from Sapphire seem to feature a triple-fan cooling solution with a bulkier design. While the PULSE variant looks to be sleeker and simpler as it will be cheaper, the NITRO+ variant could be the new flagship GPU from Sapphire.

Sapphire is also supposed to bring custom RX 6800 GPUs as well, and we are sure that before the expected November 18th availability date, Sapphire will give more insights about its new GPUs.

ISL 2020-21 CLUB PREVIEW: Are Odisha FC destined for lower table places?

Into only their second season as Odisha Football Club in the Indian Super League, the men from the farther East will look to compete against the rest in a battle for playoffs supremacy. But, considering that is the case with every other club of the 11 ones fighting in the league, can Odisha achieve a miracle?

ISL 2020/21: 5 Key players for Odisha FC

We take a look at how Odisha stacks up ahead of the ISL 2020 season :

TRANSFERS

‘The Kalinga Warriors’, as their fans call them, recently brought in a host of new players to refresh the look of the squad. Notable signings included Steven Taylor and Jacob Tratt to reinforce the backline.

They did, however, decide to not retain the services of attacking midfielder Xisco Hernandez and winger Romeo Fernandes ahead of the new season. Albino Gomes and Lalchhuanmawia also joined Kerala and Chennai respectively on free transfers.

SQUAD LIST

GOALKEEPERS

  • Arshdeep Singh
  • Ravi Kumar
  • Kamaljit Singh
  • Ankit Bhuyan

DEFENDERS

  • Gaurav Bora
  • George D’Souza
  • Henry Antonay
  • Jacob
  • Kamalpreet Singh
  • Shubham Sarangi
  • Saurabh Meher
  • Mohd Sajid Dhot
  • Steven Taylor

MIDFIELDERS

  • Baoringdao Bodo
  • Cole Alexander
  • S Lalhrezuala
  • Nandhakumar Sekar
  • Paul Ramfangzauva
  • Samuel Lalmuanpuia
  • Isak Vanlalruatfela
  • Jerry Mawihmingthanga
  • Thoiba Singh
  • Vinit Rai

FORWARDS

  • Diego Mauricio
  • Laishram Singh
  • Manuel Onwu
  • Daniel Lalhlimpuia
  • Marcelinho

STRENGTH

What makes this Odisha side tick, is their no-nonsense style of play courtesy of Stuart Baxter. The former Vissel Kobe manager has coached a number of European and Asian clubs and has a defensively astute formation to counter the strong sides.

WEAKNESS

The infusion of too many young players might see them lose out on clutch moments during the important games. Add to the fact that there has not been a long time for teams to build chemistry, it might just be too late before Odisha can master a winning combination.

KEY PLAYER

Marcelinho signs a one-year-contract with Odisha FC - The Away End

One does not need to look beyond ISL great Marcelinho. The ex-Pune City left winger has been instrumental in so many winning goals, whether that is scoring or assisting them. To be precise, 30 goals and 17 assists in 59 ISL appearances. It surely counts well that he has a good sense of leadership skills that can shore up the young Odisha outfit and motivate them on and off the field.

PREDICTED TABLE FINISH

9th Place – Despite the talent they possess much like every side in the ISL, Odisha might have a side for the long-term than the present, to provide a real fight to other contenders.

ASUS warns of low AMD stock upon its launch

0

AMD’s Radeon RX, 6000 series graphics card, will be launched soon in the retail stores. But reports claim that the AMD Radeon RX 6000 series graphics cards will have limited stock at launch. The stock issues were only specific to Radeon RX 6900 XT. However, according to sources, even the Radeon RX 6800 XT supply will be minimal. The card is expected to be sold out within minutes of the launch.

An ASUS representative released the following statement regarding the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT stock. “It will be quite limited: more RX6800, fewer 6800XT … as with basically all graphics cards now, we expect that everything will be gone in a few minutes, so you need to hang on the lock”.

AMD's new AMD Ryzen 5000 Series Desktop Processors deliver 26% better gaming performance

However, the Radeon RX 6800 is expected to have a higher stock than the RX 6800 XT and RX 6900 XT. However, due to higher demand, the card may be sold out pretty fast.

The representative further added, “Yesterday I asked polish shop Morele.net about preorders, and they confirmed that there would be an option, but they don’t know yet when. Also, they said they expect problems with stock as it was with Nvidia GPUs. It should not be easy to get a new card to be cool. It is quite unexpected that Lisa Su dares to bet on this release date. I think it should only start to increase in December. The production capacity has always been sufficient, but how much of this production capacity of Navi may depend on Sony and Microsoft’s next-gen consoles.”

ASUS will release three variants for its Radeon RX 6000 series custom lineup. The ROG STRIX LC, ROG STRIX & TUF Gaming models will be launched by the manufacturer. The devices include Radeon RX 6800 XT and RX 6800 variants.

The Radeon RX 6800 XT and Radeon RX 6800 will launch in the retail market on 18th November. The RX 6800 XT will be priced at $649 US, and RX 6800 will be available at $579 US.

Xiaomi Mi 11 pops up on Geekbench to be powered by Snapdragon 875 chipset

0

After the launch of the Mi 10 series, Xiaomi is looking forward to launching the Xiaomi Mi 11 in the upcoming days. This phone has been appeared on the Geekbench website and showed that it will run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 875 SoC chipset. The SD 875 chipset is about to launch and we’ve come to know more about this latest chipset. As per the leaks, this upcoming SD 875 chipset will run ARM’s newest Cortex-X1 core at relatively conservative speeds.

As per the listing on the Geekbench website, it showed us that the upcoming Mi 11 is about to be powered by the SD 875 chipset. A few days ago, it is the same source who has shown us the specifications of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 875 chipset. In terms of scores, it has managed to bag a single-core score of 1,105 and in the case of multi-core, it has scored 3,512. It seems that the multi-core score is a little bit low, but it may be for the other factors.

From the Geekbench listing, we’ve also come to know the reconfirmed configuration of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 875 chipset: one Cortex-X1 (2.8GHz), three Cortex-A78 (2.4GHz), and four Cortex-A55 (1.8GHz) cores. As per the power & performance, it seems that the SD 875 can not beat Apple’s silicon chipset. In the case of Samsung’s Exynos 2100 chipset, it can surpass the SD 875 as well. The reason behind this is that Samsung is planning to push its Cortex-X1 to over 3.0GHz.

Credit: Digital Chat Station

And at last, let’s just talk about the specifications of the upcoming Xiaomi Mi 11. Though, there is nothing confirmed yet. As per some of the earlier reports, this phone is expected to come with a 1440p screen with a refresh rate of 120Hz, and there will be an under-display selfie camera as well. Moreover, another news also came out that, Xiaomi is in the works to make a charger with a capacity of 200W, which is something out of our imagination. But it is not sure whether Xiaomi will use this 200W charger with the upcoming Mi 11 smartphone.

Design

The boAt Airdopes 441 Pro TWS Ear-Buds are truly wireless earbuds powered by Bluetooth 5.0 having a sporty design that is very well to fit in the ear. It has soft rubber ear tips which are adjustable with two pairs of dedicated ear tips that are given in the box. Both the earbuds are lightweight and each of them is slightly equivalent to two A4 papers combined.

So from the very beginning, after opening the lid of the carry case the earbuds will be automatically on and will start paring.

Audio Quality

The audio quality of the boAt Airdopes 441 Pro TWS Ear-Buds is amazing. If you are a bass lover and loves to listen to such kind of music where the bass is everything, then you will definitely love it. In terms of treble, it is not bad, but what I feel is slightly better average, not that good like the bass. In the highs, sometimes you will feel a slight break or haziness. But as for everyday usage and normal listening, it is an amazing deal.

This device does not have active noise cancellation (not expected though in this price range), but still, if you are in public transport, in 80% to 100% volume range, no external noise will hamper your listening. The 6mm audio driver is quite good as the sound goes very high when at 100%. So, if you are using it in your home, the best is that you use it from 60% to 80% volume range to get a balanced bass & treble and a soothing musical experience.
