Planet Fpl - The Fantasy Football Podcast

James is joined by West Ham fan Chris Stone and Luton fan Dan Ashby on Clash of the Correspondents to discuss the latest at their clubs and preview Saturday's meeting in East London. It's been a dramatic week for The Hammers, a 5-0 beating at Chelsea was followed by the news that David Moyes will leave the club at the end of this season with former Wolves manager Julen Lopetegui widely being reported to be his replacement. There's discussion on Moyes' tenure and the potential new boss. The Hatters meanwhile are three points from safety with two to play and the decision that Nottingham Forest's points deduction will stand means there is still hope, but two wins will probably be needed. Can they get the win they need against a West Ham team that has only won 3 league games in 2024? Plus, likely summer departures, looking ahead to next season and are FPL managers right to overlook these two teams this weekend? Tomorrow on Planet FPL: James presents The GW37 Deadline Stream Live in partnership with FPL Team exclu

On Clash of the Correspondents James is joined by Manchester United fan Gary Robinson and Newcastle fan Simon Bibby to discuss the latest at their clubs ahead of their meeting at Old Trafford next Wednesday which is part of a Double Gameweek for both clubs. For the Red Devils morale appears to be on the floor following Monday's heavy loss at Crystal Palace with some now suggesting Erik Ten Hag shouldn't even make it as far as the Manchester FA Cup Final. Can The Dutchman stay in the job into next season? There's discussion on Manchester United's attempts to take Newcastle's Sporting Director Dan Ashworth and if it signals any concerns about Newcastle's longer-term plan. Is there also a need to sell one of their star players to comply with PSR? Plus, all the key FPL assets discussed, including thoughts on Bruno Fernandes' injury status, whether Alexander Isak is a legitimate captaincy option, the impact of Callum Wilson's return, best defensive assets from both clubs, whether Nick pope and Kieran Trippier are

On the Sky Fantasy Football Podcast Suj and James preview the penultimate week of the season for Sky Fantasy and it was further disaster for Suj on the weekend and James, who is now out of transfers, has a unique suggestion of what (not) to do with Suj's remaining 4 transfers. On the Pod, why injury news on Bruno Fernandes may present those with transfers left with the opportunity to invest in some great differentials on Sunday, there's discussion on the 3 upcoming single gamedays and the favoured captaincy choices for the 5 gamedays over the next week. There's also coverage of listener questions and why the guys love this particular Fantasy Football format.

Suj and James discuss another dramatic week in FPL where the top 10k average hit 100 and James exceeded that to enter into the top 100k but for Suj, the less said the better! All the games reviewed as usual which included Suj and James teams getting slapped respectively and conceding a combined 9 at Stamford Bridge and Anfield. And Manchester United didn't want to be left out as they crumbled to a 4-0 loss at Crystal Palace last night. The title race continues to look like it will go down to the wire as Arsaenal and Manchester City recorded comfortable victories which featured Erling Haaland scoring four and Nottingham Forest claimed a crucial victory at Sheffield United. Amongst the analysis of the games is a heavy focus on FPL assets for Double Gameweek 37 and the final day and many FPL managers will have a defensive crisis on their hands ahead of the Double but the closer it gets the more it feels like single gameweek players shouldn't necessarily be overlooked and there are solutions offered for Bruno Fer

James is joined by Leicester City correspondent Aaron Lagor following the Foxes crowning as Championship Champions that means they will be making an immediate return to the Premier League under the stewardship of Enzo Maresca. There's discussion on how The Foxes did it, Maresca's philosophy and tactics which naturally has parallels with that of Pep Guardiola, whom Maresca was previously assistant to at Manchester City. There's an overview of the squad which includes some early thoughts on who may appeal to FPL managers next season and that could include the Championship goalkeeper of the season, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and a 37 year-old Jamie Vardy who is still going strong. But there are concerns, with the season rumoured to be set to begin with a points deduction due to failures to meet PSR requirements and therefore spending may be limited and sales shouldn't necessarily be ruled out either.

On James' live stream this afternoon there's chat about tonight's Chelsea-Tottenham encounter and how it may help final FPL decisions this week which include some very nasty benching dilemmas for the weekend, particularly for those who have recently Wildcrarded. Plus, there's chat on captaincy for the weekend, the latest on Ederson's injury concerns, defensive assets for Bench Boosters and much more.

Suj and James discuss all the latest talking points for Sky Fantasy Football and this weekend provides the opportunity for some unlikely differential captaincy options with Erling Haaland and Mo Salah both lower owned than we would normally expect at this stage of the season. There's reasoning given for recent transfers, discussion on the Luton-Everton and Crystal Palace-Manchester United single gamedays which includes thoughts that the best options on those single gamedays may have next to no coverage with Everton defence and Bruno Fernandes likely to be popular. Plus, data from the last week, remaining targets for rank and transfers, listener questions, why it may take two transfers to fit Haaland back in and more...

Clayton joins James for a discussion on the state of refereeing in the Premier League and what can be to do improve standards the many believe have hit an all time low. But is it really that bad? What does good refereeing look like? What do we as fans actually want most, is it accuracy or is it something else? There's discussion on if VAR has actually hindered the quality of our referees and what fans actually want from the use of technology. And solutions are offered to what should be done to assist referees going forwards, which features discussion on releasing audio, getting refs mic'd up, the Wenger law, decision challenges, removing the 'high bar', and what can be done to make officiating attractive and rewarding.

Suj and James review the weekend of Gameweek 35 and for many Wildcarders it wasn't the success that many had hoped for (so far), particularly with Arsenal's Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka returning well in Arsenal's North London Derby victory that has left James with a sore throat. And it was a strange game that features in the discussion from all the games. As usual all the games covered including Chelsea's excellent display at Villa that yielded only a point and Manchester City overcame a period of difficulty to maintain their advantage in the race for the title that also left Forest looking nervously over their shoulder at not just Luton, but now Burnley as well. FPL assets for one week, two weeks and all weeks considered which includes those required for just 36 and 38 which may bring a number of enabling differential forwards to the table that Bench Boosters won't consider. Plus, best Arsenal assets covered, injuries have inevitably struck again and James discusses the awkward feeling for Tottenham fans in

Suj and James review the 6 games played in midweek as Arsenal and Manchester City went big in their pursuit of the title but Liverpool's attempt to keep pace hits the skids in the Merseyside Derby at Everton. Now focus turns from Free Hit 34 to Wildcard 35 with Suj (probably) and James both on Wildcard. On the Podcast there's a big lean in the discussion to covering FPL assets from the teams who played in midweek which features 5 of the 6 teams who have a Double in GW37 and whether assets from the likes of Arsenal, Crystal Palace, Everton and Liverpool should go alongside them for the run-in. James also gives a detailed view on Tottenham assets who have two upcoming doubles before revealing his intended Wildcard (subject to team news) and there's one player he's desperate to have but isn't likely to fit in.

On Clash of the Correspondents it's a focus on the only two teams who double in Gameweek 35 as James is joined by Chelsea fan Gary Mantle and Tottenham fan Ricky Saunders to discuss the latest at their clubs and talk about the best FPL assets from each club with many Wildcarders this week look to load up with 3 from each ahead of their two double gameweeks in 35 and 37. But neither are in good form! A Chelsea without Cole Palmer were destroyed 5-0 at Arsenal on Tuesday night and it wasn't much better for Tottenham who lost 4-0 at Newcastle 12 days ago. There's discussion on Mauricio Pochettino's future and whether defeat to rivals Tottenham next week could see the process begin for a change in the dugout. While some frustrations are beginning to creep in to the mindset of Tottenham fans and there is trepidation ahead of Sunday's North London Derby. Plus, best FPL assets discussed. Cole Palmer will be a certainty for most and so to will Heung-Min Son despite form concerns. But who else should FPL managers be i

Suj rejoins James for the Sky Fantasy Football Podcast ahead of another big night of moves where differentials will be purchased - but will they actually be differentials? Manchester United and Newcastle assets could become popular quickly and James reveals the 3 he intends to buy, it's only 3 as there was a stroke of luck when forced into a move on Sunday and one more needs to be saved for Manchester City tomorrow. But will Suj actually make the transfers he wants with a whopping 16 left and sights set on the top 1000, whilst for James entry into the top 100 has been achieved. How high could he finish? Plus, discussion for what should be an open few days for captaincy, Tottenham assets for Sunday, data from the weekend and thoughts on trying to chase down individual opponents in mini leagues Tomorrow on Planet FPL: Clash of the Correspondents, Chelsea v Tottenham with Gary Mantle and Ricky Saunders Today on Patreon: Tot&Ham and Twitter Stories For the full Planet FPL schedule this week, including our offerin

On the first of two Clash of the Correspondents this week James is joined by Brighton fan Sam Murray and Manchester City fan Jonny Pringle to discuss the latest at their clubs and the FPL assets of interest ahead of Thursday's meeting between the two clubs. Have Brighton stalled this season? Can they trouble City with a 12 day period to prepare? And how strong is concern that Roberto De Zerbi may move on in the summer? Man City have it in their own hands to claim the title again, but are they as strong now as they have been during previous title run-ins? Plus all the key FPL assets discussed from City, featuring concerns over Erling Haaland's form, Foden v De Bruyne, if Ederson can be relied on and best defensive assets. And has everyone forgotten that Brighton have their own Double coming up in GW37? Will the likes of Pascal Gross be wrongly overlooked? Could Joao Pedro solve the solutions for those in need of an enabling forward and are there defensive assets that should be considered? Follow Sam on Twitter

On the weekend review of DGW34 Suj returns to join James to discuss the 7 games played so far and for those who took the plunge on Crystal Palace attacking assets it was likely a good weekend with all of Eze, Olise and Mateta returning well. Arsenal and Everton defensive assets also returned well but there was large rotation for Liverpool in their victory at Fulham with Trent Alexander-Arnold being the one that got away for James. But at least he did have decent coverage of Palace, unlikely a certain someone... All the games discussed with thoughts already focusing beyond the rest of this double Gameweek and towards the final 4 weeks, which particular for James means thinking beyond just the 6 clubs who double in Gameweek 37. But those 6 will still make up the majority of slots for Wildcarders but are there any good defensive assets to pick from!? Plus, more VAR controversy, especially at Goodison which led to a stinging and unusual response from Forest, thoughts from the FA Cup semi finals including the hear

It's a Friday Merseyside Derby Clash of the Correspondents as James welcome Everton fan Sean Norton and Liverpool fan Dan Lord to discuss the latest at their clubs ahead of the big double gameweek that includes next Wednesday's meeting between the clubs at Goodison Park. There's discussion on the rivalry but why it's different to other local derbies and the battle to stay up for Everton and the race for the title where Liverpool now find themselves outsiders. Have they hit a wall? And how nervous are Evertonians following Monday's heavy defeat at Chelsea? Plus, the important FPL discussions covered, including Mo Salah for the DGW34 armband, Trent vs Van Dijk, Luis Diaz and alternatives Reds assets including a misfiring Darwin Nunez. Plus, should Everton be overlooked? There will be consideration for The Blues defensive assets and they're covered too.

On James' live stream this afternoon lots of questions focusing on Double Gameweek assets for GW34 from Arsenal, Crystal Palace and Liverpool and should Free Hitters overlook those with just one fixture? Plus, reaction to last night's Champions League exits for Arsenal and Manchester City and why James had no second thoughts about wanting rivals Arsenal to go out despite 5th now being unlikely to get Tottenham a Champions League place for next season.

James is joined by Planet FPL Patrons Phil and Shaun to discuss to discuss all the latest hot topics for Sky Fantasy Football and it was largely a failed 'moving day' on Sunday as the majority of Arsenal and Liverpool assets blanked. Next Wednesday offers another opportunity to make a heavy number of changes. But should we be looking to move before then? There's discussion on Crystal Palace and Everton assets with Sunday in mind, best Arsenal captaincy choices for Saturday against Wolves and then Chelsea (or should be Cole Palmer!?) on Tuesday, if it's got to be Mo Salah on Sunday and thoughts on moves for next Wednesday, ehich could become particularly awkward if Manchester City's fixture at Brighton moves forward 24 hours from the Thursday. Plus, data learnings, differentials under consideration, what the penultimate matchweek 37 fixture announcement changes in plans and lots more.

James is joined by Wolves fan Bradley Parker and Bournemouth fan Neil Grover on Clash of the Correspondents with the two sides set to face off at Molineux as part of Double Gameweek 34 and there will be plenty of interest in FPL assets from both clubs, particularly from those on a Free Hit. But do the two teams have anything to play for? The key talismen, Matheus Cunha and Dominic Solanke are discussed and there are pros and cons covered about the week ahead for both forwards. Attacking and enabling alternatives from both clubs may well go under the radar such as Pablo Sarabia and Justin Kluivert, though per haps they shouldn't. And what can be expected from a returning Hwang Hee-Chan? Many FPL managers will be awaiting key news on Wolves OOP defender Rayan Ait-Nouri, but will he even remain as part of an attacking front 3 if fit, and is he even the best OOP left footed defender for the week ahead from these two clubs? Milos Kerkez could well end up in a more advanced position for The Cherries. Plus, conversa

Clayton joins James for the Gameweek 33 review as there were big swings in the battle to finish first and fourth respectively after Liverpool and Arsenal both lost at home, with The Gunners beaten by Champions League chasing Aston Villa who are now favourites for fourth after Tottenham were dismantled at Newcastle. It was a difficult weekend for many FPL managers but those with Newcastle assets may have done particularly well and Erling Haaland returned well for captainers despite some fortune (or misfortune!) in his returns. All the games reviewed as usual with a focus very much on the forthcoming Double Gameweek that features Liverpool, Arsenal and a Crystal Palace team likely to get plenty of interest. Should managers also be looking at the 4 others team who double? And there's also a focus on the 6 teams who double in 37 and what Wildcarders may want to do in Gameweek 35.
