About to start the review, full disclosure I am aWiki Cup and a GA Cup participant. If anyone would like to reciprocate I have my own GAN (Mexican National Trios Championship).  MPJ-US  23:07, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

First things first, going through the GA Toolbox

Peer Review

• Apparently "lbs" should not have the "s"

•  Done RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 09:05, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

• I am assuming British Spelling and will keep that in mind as I review the article

Copyvio Detector

• Shows "Highly Unlikely" at a max of 28% so we're good there Y

Disambig Links

• Y

External Links

• Source 41 is dead
• Replaced  Done RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 09:05, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
• The following sources have a change to the url from the original, you may want to consider updating them to prevent future link rot. Looks like BBC changed how their website was working at some point after these sources were added
• 4, 5, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 33, 36, 39, 40, 42, 45, 57, 60, 62, 65, 64, 66, 59, 74, 81, 79, 75, 77, 82, 86, 85

• I dont think any alteration is required. RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 09:05, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
  • Since that was a suggestion only that's not a problem for the GA review.

More to come, sources, images are next on my check list. MPJ-US  23:24, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

• Y licenses and all check out, no problems.

Sources

What is the Reliable source status of the following sites

• soccerbase.com
• football-league.co.uk
• soccerway.com

• We consider non user generated sites like soccerway and soccerbase as reliable sources. Rarely are any mistakes or discrepencies are found. Soccerbase covers entire British football system, and additionally Soccerway covers leagues of countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, India. Most of the GAs use them (ex Hatem Ben Arfa, Michael Ingham, Nuno Mendes (footballer), Paul Robinson (footballer, born 1979), Neville Southall, Josh Walker, Fernando Torres, Mathieu Valbuena. Ryan Burge and even FA like Thierry Henry). Soccerbase is very reliable for England and Scottish leagues. RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 09:29, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
  • Looking at the various GAs I am satisfied with those souces.

• Reference 9 needs to list BBC
•  Done RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 10:23, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

•  Done RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 10:23, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
• Reference 37 does not list details on the website/publisher
•  Done RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 17:59, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

•  Done RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 17:59, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

•  Done RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 17:30, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
• "was named on the PFA Team of the Year" - "named on" sounds weird to me, is that a common way to phrase this sort of achievement?
•  Done RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 17:59, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
• "during the peak of his football career" - judgement call on "peak of his career" and the term peak is not used when discussing this later in the article.

•  Done RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 17:59, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

•  Done RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 17:59, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

• "3–1 win away to Slovakian side Dubnica" - I am not sure what this sentence is trying to express

•  Done Europa League is played on a two leg basis, the two teams play both in each of the team's home. So away here means match was played in Slovakian side's home ground.RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 17:59, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

• "In April, it was reported that Chopra's possibility of missing the rest of the season after being affected with mumps" please rephrase this. Also, did he actually miss anything? if he did not then this is just a throwaway detail that really does not matter in the big picture.
•  Done RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 17:30, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

•  Done RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 17:30, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
• "He also found the net twice, each in his two games against his former club Cardiff City.", poor sentence structure, not sure if I really know what this is supposed to mean.
•  Done RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 17:30, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
• Typo "topscorer" is not one word
•  Done RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 17:30, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
