Sitcom following the mostly off-the-pitch misadventures of three young football players at a fictional Premier League club.
The stories focus on their friendship, and these boys from around the world are far less proficient with women, money and social media than they are at scoring goals.
The players find themselves struggling with their mercurial Italian manager Cesare, the team's eccentric American Chairman, resident hard-man Petey Brooks and ineffectual coach Chris Booth.
