A busy Ben is joined by Steve (TheFUTCoach) for a more brief - but no less deep - dive into a number of key FUT issues: Icon market, chemistry styles, Dani Alves, and the world of Workrates.

The pair discuss how you can get the very best out of workrates, instructions and chemistry styles, as well as whether EA are resisting playing chicken with traders over the much anticipated Icon SBC - and whether traders 'are to blame' for keeping prices inflated.
