From the study conclusions can be drawn on which clubs can and can't spend big in the forthcoming transfer windows. On The Podcast...

Which club could in theory spend £400m and still comply with FFP?

Which of the so called Big 6 would currently have to balance books to buy a World Class star?

And which club is likely to have to sell star names in the next year?

And how have Newcastle really got to play with?

On this week's Planet FPL Clash of the Correspondents James is joined by Wolves fan Bradley Parker and West Ham fan Chris Stone to discuss all the latest at their clubs, the FPL assets within them and preview next weekend's Gameweek 12 meeting at Molineux.

Both clubs have been on good run so what are the realistic expectations for both for the remainder of the season? Can Wolves mount a challenge for European qualification and should a top 4 finish now be expected for The Hammers?

Wolves good fixture run ends soon so should FPL managers be beginning to think of selling assets such as Raul Jimenez or is there a case, as James finds, that there is a case for still buying an asset for the gameweeks ahead?

West Ham are already in the middle of a difficult fixture run, should their FPL assets be sold too or is there reason to hold stars such as Michail Antonio for the long-term?

On this week's Sky Fantasy Football Suj & James discuss another difficult weekend in the never ending pursuit of trying to climb rank and give early thoughts on captaincy for the next weekend.

Some are considering selling rather than buying Harry Kane, is there reason to do so or should those without still buy? Plus, replacements for Youri Tielemans are covered with a closer look at midfield options below the Leicester player's value, there's thoughts on January's two single gamedays, why Palace defenders are being overlooked and the case is made as to why buying Cristiano Ronaldo in December might not be the must that it may appear to be....

James is joined by Aston Villa correspondent Lee Jackson to discuss the sacking of Dean Smith as manager and ask what's next for the Midlands Club?

Was Smith's sacking deserved or does it show a lack of patience in a manager who has essentially hit target every season so far in his Villa reign?

Are Villa in free fall and heading for a battle with relegation?

And who might be next? Steven Gerrard's name is being mentioned in certain circles, could he be the man who Villa appoint? And would the appointment offer any guarantees of success?

Plus, the depth of the squad is discussed and why so far the men bought to replace Jack Grealish haven't gelled as expected.
