Summary

Hello Rank Squad! It's the second episode in our League Previews series, and this time it's a double bill as we focus on both the Eredivisie in the Netherlands and the Primeira Liga in Portugal! We start on the Iberian Peninsula, where old friend Zach Lowy [http://twitter.com/ZachLowy] joins us to talk through Benfica, Porto and Sporting's summers, as well as focusing on Braga's breakthrough into the Big Three and how their business could be the best of the lot. Then we move on to the Netherlands, where we're joined by Michael Statham [http://twitter.com/EredivisieMike] of Football Oranje to talk Feyenoord, Ajax and PSV's contrasting transfer windows, and the challenge to the traditional big three posed by both AZ Alkmaar and FC Twente. It's Ranks! If you'd like more from the Rank Squad, including transfer episodes all summer, our weekly Postbox episode, and access to our brilliant Discord community, then why not join us here on Patreon?
