Planet FPL - The Fantasy Football Podcast

It's the first big Chip strategy Podcast of the season as Suj and James layout a roadmap of what to expect during the second half of the season with blank and double gameweeks and the various options available for Chip strategies.

There's discussion on a now 'probable' Double Gameweek 25 for Liverpool, what could happen to the unfulfilled fixtures featuring Manchester City and Bournemouth and an understanding of the blank and double gameweeks to come during the season.

There's analysis of what weeks will be popular for Chip usage of the Bench Boost, Free Hit, Triple Captaincy and the second Wildcard and why working out when to Free Hit may be defining. Is there a current optimal strategy?

Plus, why too much Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham could cause a major GW26 problem that may also be repeated in GW29; why the end of season doubles may be crap for Fantasy managers and the fallout from the weekend including Arsenal losing again, the fitness status of Jarrod Bowen and Erling Haaland and Tottenham's likely purchase of Timo Werner.

Tomorrow on Planet FPL: SkyFF s5 ep27 with the final discussion ahead of Overhaul for Sky Fantasy

On Clash of the Correspondents James is joined by Bournemouth fan Neil Grover and Liverpool fan Dan Lord to discuss the latest at their clubs and preview the GW21 encounter on the South coast.

Bournemouth have been on a terrific run under Andoni Iraola led by popular FPL pick and talisman Dominic Solanke, can they keep it going and trouble a Liverpool team that top the table but have now lost Mo Salah to AFCON?

There's discussion on best FPL assets from both clubs, particularly in the midfield area, thoughts on holding or investing in Trent Alexander-Arnold long-term, GW21 captaincy, the rotation of Liverpool's forwards and lots more.

With the Overhaul now open Suj and James discuss the fixture schedule for the forthcoming months to decipher the teams Sky Fantasy managers will want to invest in for the short and long term and to cover captaincy.

There's discussion on how the want for coverage of some teams eliminates the need for others and the importance of working back from the ideal Sky Fantasy team, particular if the intention is to buy back those on International duty such as Mohamed Salah and Heung-Min Son.

On the Gameweek 20 Review Suj and James discuss all the drama from the games so far and it began with Cole Palmer hauling and ended with Mo Salah hauling after missing a 1st half penalty.

Elsewhere there was disappointment for Manchester United and Arsenal in defeats at Nottingham Forest and Fulham, Tottenham were 'lucky' again and Wolves dominated Everton.

On the agenda for many FPL managers will now be finding replacements for departing AFCON and Asia Cup players including Mo Salah and Heung-Min Son and the Podcast has a theme of midfield replacements under consideration throughout, but also a warning of why the final decision shouldn't need to be made just yet.

It's green arrows for Suj and James on the Gameweek 19 Review but very different fortunes for their teams on a dramatic Thursday night as Brighton scored four against Tottenham at The Amex and West Ham caused a shock by winning 2-0 at Arsenal.

And they weren't the only surprises this week as Chris Wood scored a stunning hat-trick in Nottingham Forest's victory at Newcastle, while Wolves were another team to score big as they scored four at Brentford and there were some surprising bonus points for offensive FPL defenders.

All the games covered, including Manchester United's comeback victory against Aston Villa and Manchester City looked back to their best at Everton with Phil Foden the star of the show.

And there's lots to debate ahead of tomorrow's GW20 FPL Deadline, with several great options for captaincy and some extreme benching headaches for some may lead to an activation of a number of Bench Boost chips. But there are warnings of more potential weekend rotation and notes that although GW20 may look great on paper for many FPL managers GW21 needs to be kept in mind, particularly with so many players leaving for AFCON and the Asia Cup.

On Clash of the Correspondents James is joined by West Ham fan Chris Stone and Brighton fan Sam Murray to discuss all the latest at their clubs ahead of their GW20 meeting in East London and both clubs are still to play tonight in GW19.

Jarrod Bowen is currently FPL's 5th highest scoring player but will the departure of Mohammed Kudus to AFCON mean Bowen moves back to the right? Should they be a concern for owners or those intending to invest? Or is he likely to be a popular captaincy choice in GW21 at Sheffield United?

Brighton just wish they had players who could play wide, with Kaoru Mitoma and Simon Adingra added to a lengthy injury list. Could 4.7 midfielder Facundo Buonanotte step up or is the multi talented Pascal Gross a better investment? Could Jooa Pedro now see increased minutes in a wider role?

Both teams have attractive long-term fixtures and don't play again in the Europa League until March. Enablers such as Alphonse Areola and Jan Paul Van Hecke are also covered, but both have struggled for clean sheets; could that be about to change?

And for Brighton, the popular Pervis Estupinan is back...

On the Gameweek 18 Review Podcast Suj and James discuss more fun with flags as several FPL managers see their teams decimated by injuries and suspensions and for many those problems are defensively, and with cash spare in many a FPL managers bank balance Trent Alexander-Arnold is now a priority for many. But it won't be for everyone...

Meanwhile Dominic Solanke netted a hat-trick at Forest, managed for the first time by Nuno Espirito Santo, Liverpool and Arsenal shared the points in the top of the table and the bottom 3, written off by many, all had great results including Sheffield United, who denied Aston Villa a place at the top of the table on Friday night.

While Suj and James go into Christmas celebrating home victories for their clubs; a limp Manchester United were comfortably dispatched by West Ham, for Tottenham it was a far more difficult assignment against a revitalised Everton.
