We cast an eye on three Colombians set to shine in Venezuela this year:

- Ricardo Delgado (Hermanos Colmenarez)
- Jesus Marimon (Mineros de Guayana)

Episode #008: Data published at the end of February by ESPN showed that just 7.1% of Liga FUTVE players are foreign - the lowest percentage of any South American country. Across the border in Colombia, the number stands at 9.6%, with Venezuela contributing the biggest share: 22 of the 54. Colombian football expert Simon Edwards joins us to discuss the the impact the two countries' footballers are having on one another's league.
