Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! The lads are back to preview GW28.

The final GW before the season really starts and strategy begins to matter, the lads run through all of the new information we now know following FA Cup 5th round weekend, with blanks and doubles starting to shhape up, but with clarity far from achieved.

A pretty sorry radar sees the 1997 "things can only get Beto"2 party continue, but while running the rule over another highly-owned forward on the Fringe, the lads try to answer the question: where is Erling Haaland? A pair of Brighton assets show some appeal, but the FPL landscape, barring strategy with blanks, doubles and chips, feels increasingly bleak.

Good job the lads can provide some juice by swimming against not one, but two of the top 5 most transferred out this week, and they also run the rule over Mo Salah's declining underlying numbers as he faces a leaky Southampton defence this GW, making him a very popular captaincy choice - but is he the best way to go?

The lads finish, as ever, with a little game they like to call Who the Heck Is Stat?!
