On this week's Planet FPL Clash of the Correspondents Podcast James is joined by Tottenham fan Ricky Saunders and Newcastle fan Simon Bibby to discuss all the latest at their clubs, and the all important FPL assets within them ahead of their Gameweek 31 meeting at White Hart Lane.

Can Tottenham maintain their challenge for a top four finish after impressive victories against Brighton and West Ham?

Can Newcastle make a late challenge for a top half finish with their top flight status now looking secure?

And there's discussion on the FPL assets that matter including the possibility of going treble Tottenham offence with Dejan Kulusevski added to Heung-Min Son and Harry Kane, though for many it'll have to be just the one of Son or Kane. Which Tottenham defensive asset is best or should they be avoided?

And Newcastle have a very attractive Double Gameweek 33 upcoming and there's certainly a case of trebling up for those on a Free Hit that week. But which three would it be best to get...?

Over the last week there have been several attempts to interrupt Premier League games with members of the group Just Stop Oil trying to tie themselves to the goalposts. At Goodison Park last Thursday one member of the group was successful in tying himself to a post.

Why are these protests happening?

Why is football be targeted and are games likely to be subject to further protests?

Should we have sympathy with the protesters and how has football reacted to the disruption?

Can fans make an impact for change?

Planet FPL talks climate change... this one's a little different.... 

Coming Up on Wednesday on Planet FPL - Planet SkyFF s3 ep33, discussing all the latest in Sky Fantasy Football...

Suj and James review the football from Blank Gameweek 30 with many template players missing out and even some that did start, (cough, cough, Raul Jimenez) frustrated many FPL managers. 

Was the weekend a success for FPL managers who deployed the Free Hit? There was certainly some good scores among Free Hitters but also some fortune from the popular returnees too. 

The 4 weekend games get the usual Monday overview and it includes extended discussion on Planet FPL derby success for James as Tottenham beat Suj's West Ham yesterday.

James also outlines what Gameweeks 34 to 37 are likely to look like once games are rearranged, including which two teams could face back to back doubles and the complication around Chelsea's schedule. Plus why those intending to Free Hit in Gameweek 33 will be faced with difficult risk v reward decisions to make...

On this week's Sky Fantasy Football Podcast Suj & James reflect on the moves they made last week and why the struggle to gain in rank continues. 

There's a detailed look at yesterday's announcement of the TV fixtures in the midweek in matchweek 33 and the two following weekends. Some of those fixtures could still move subject to the European and FA Cup draws but the announcement of two additional Burnley single gamedays is locked in and will have Sky managers looking at buying Nick Pope again and there could be big gains to be had on the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City from Sunday 17th or Wednesday 20th of April.

Plus, why the upcoming Everton v Newcastle, Wolves v Leeds and Aston Villa v Arsenal fixtures shouldn't be ignored, there's still big gains to be had investing further in Arsenal and tonight's Kane v Salah capatincy conundrum is debated...

Coming Up on Planet FPL tomorrow...  Clash of the Correspondents: Wolves v Leeds United with @parker_bradley and @fpl_tactician
