Hi Alan,

Gavi/Pedri, it is purely statistical (as far as as I am concerned, although Gavi looks like very interesting, I believe that Pedri has much more impact)

Baldé or Balde: I have to admit that i wrote it in the French way (with the accent). Very quick research on the net, it seems that most spanish media write it without the accent, so I'll do it accordingly.
