Clayton and James take a deep dive into captaincy over the opening 10 Gameweeks of the season to determine the premium players wanted and needed for the opening weeks of the new season; before moving on in the latter part of the Podcast to a discussion on rotation options.

The Haaland vs Salah debate continues, with the case made for both players, the difficulty in having both, the importance of the number 36, when it'll be time to hide behind the sofa and which of the players priced 8.5-10.5 stands up as being one that may well be wanted more often than FPL managers may expect for captaincy.

There's also an overview of captaincy through the winter months and when during the season there really will be a time to take Haaland on with the captaincy - for those not brave enough to do it at the start! (Understandable!).

Plus, a look at rotations, which even includes a 6.0 and 4,0 option together but focuses primarily on players and combinations priced in the 4.5 bracket and there may well be some options that haven't previously been considered.

James details to Suj and the audience what we can expect throughout the season with Blank and Double Gameweeks and it's going to make Chip Strategy very different in this season to what we have been use to in previous campaigns.

So is it safe to use the Chips early in the season? Is James' intention to Bench Boost in Gameweek 1 a consequence of this?

There's discussion on options for using the Chips both in the first and second half of the campaigns, why Manchester United and Tottenham could cause a particular headache to the schedule and why we shouldn't forget The Mystery Chip will also be available in the second half of the season.

And there's further analysis of options for when to use the first Wildcard.

Suj and James give an A-W overview of all 20 teams and the players they are considering for their FPL drafts ahead of Gameweek 1, commenting further on what was learned from the 20 Correspondent Week Podcasts and what new information was learned from each club's final pre-season friendlies.

There's discussion on squad structure, enablers, premiums and specific players who may deliver returns in Gameweek 1, particularly as James continues to look towards an opening weekend Bench Boost. But with Dominic Solanke signed has he locked four Tottenham players into his squad?

On the 20th and final Podcast of Correspondent Week James is joined by Liverpool fan Dan Lord to discuss The Reds FPL assets and what we can expect tactically and stylistically from new manager Arne Slot.

The club have been quiet in the transfer window so far. Could a reason behind this be that all of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil Van Dijk and Mo Salah are entering the final year of their contracts. Can the club afford to take a risk of losing these players for free next summer if agreements on new deals aren't reached soon?

Salah v Haaland is discussed in detail, there's discussion on the likely positioning of FPL's GOAT and also incomparision to other Liverpool attackers. Is Diogo Jota, for example, worth a 5.0 saving against Salah?

Trent's now down to 7.0. He too is compared to Jota, but is he certain to start in GW1, and might the likes of Jarrel Quansah, Coonor Bradley or Kostantis Tsimikas offer a cheaper route into Liverpool's defence at the start of the season?

And interest in Reds assets will be high with a great fixture listv to behin with, but in the longer-term can they challenge Arsenal and Manchester City for the title again?

Aaron Lagor joins James to discuss all things Leicester City and their FPL assets ahead of their Monday night Gameweek opener against James' Tottenham. But despite being the Championship Champions they currently don't feel as strong as they did when achieving promotion.

Why? Manager Enzo Maresca and key player Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall have departed for Chelsea. Former Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper is Maresca's replacement and there's a detailed debate on what may be different under the new manager.

For FPL club legend Jamie Vardy may still lead the line, while wide men Abdul Fatawu and Stephy Mavididi are also 5.5. Should any of the trio appeal for investment?

And there are enablers to consider with Wout Faes (4.0) and Harry Winks (4.5) both well owned.

But you may listen to this Podcast and want to have a second look at Tottenham assets and The Foxes also look set for a points deduction.

*Recorded last night prior to this morning's reported news that it now looks likely Dominic Solanke will be on his way to Tottenham...

...James is joined by Bournemouth fan Neil Grover and conversation immediately gets into the big transfer story featuring The Cherries, with talisman Dominic Solanke heavily linked with a move to Tottenham. Will he or won't he? And in which circumstances should FPL managers be investing in the forward?

There's discussion on which Cherries attacking assets may step up in the scenario of their star forward leaving, one solution may be that a player listed as a midfielder could end up out of position.

Plus, best defensive assets assessed, where the club can be expected to invest in the transfer market and the club's continuing ambition to improve.

The Final Day of Correspondent Week kicks off with Gary Mantle joining James to discuss FPL assets and expectations for Chelsea under new manager Enzo Maresca and a period that should be full of enthusiasm has quickly evaporated due to some chaotic performances in pre-season and further strange transfer dealings.

There's conversation on Maresca's intended tactics, what's been going wrong and there's an analysis of the transfer business which continues to leave many Chelsea fans concerned.

Plus, Cole Palmer has received the highest ever price rise in FPL after finishing last season as the top points scorer. but currently there are many questions mark as to where exactly he will play in the new system. Therefore should a 4.0 saving be made by investing in Christopher Nkunku?

And there's a run through of the squad to see if there are any more FPL assets to consider such as one of the 4.5 defenders, Noni Madueke, or a refreshed Raheem Sterling.

But predicting the starting eleven for Gameweek 1 proves a very difficult challenge.

At least the fixtures are good... or are they...?

Day 4 of Correspondent Week concludes with the team that finished in the Top 4 to secure Champions League football as James is joined by Aston Villa fan Lee Jackson to discuss The Villains fantastic achievement and their FPL assets before the big kick off.

Ollie Watkins was phenomenal last season and a Euro Semi Final hero for England. Currently owned by roughly half of FPL managers he's the club's clear talisman. Villa have a challenging opening two so those without may want to add the forward in GW3, but it might not be easy for those who go without it might not be so easy to bring him in without a Wildcard.

Leon Bailey also had a great season and at 6.5 will appeal, particularly for those without Watkins, but with UCL football to look forward to how reliable will his minutes be? And might Morgan Rogers, currently the only 5.0 midfielder owned by over 3% of managers be the better way to cover some of the Villa attack?

There's also assessment of Villa's defensive assets including Ezri Konsa and Ian Maatsen and an assessment of the club's summer transfer business. Which as been, interesting.

Southampton fan Matt Samuel joins James to discuss The Saints FPL assets and their chances of beating the drop under Russell Martin who will want to play an attractive style but is the team equipped enough to play the way he wants to?

The squad will need strengthening, but within a budget, and a priority would be to get in a new goalkeeper and depth is required in the forward areas but the addition of Ben Brereton Diaz - who has been classified as a midfielder - offers genuine competition to Adam Armstrong for those seeking a Saints attacker.

And FPL managers may want to invest in one, because despite the opening weekend's daunting trip to Newcastle an outstanding run of fixtures follows.

Plus, there's a detailed debate about the relegation fight and 4.0 defenders, which includes the current highest owned, Southampton's Taylor Harwwod-Bellis.

And the Saints may have the best 4.5 forward in the game too.
