Planet FPL - The Fantasy Football Podcast

On James' live stream this afternoon there's discussion on Wildcard options for those blessed to still have the chip, notes on possible rotation over the festive period and among a varied assortment of questions there's a warning that buying back Mo Salah and Heung-Min Son when they return from international duty may not be as easy as many would think... and that's down to Blank and Double Gameweeks...

Sunday evening on Planet FPL: s7 ep26 GW18 Review

Today on Patreon: Money in Football on the 'Chelsea Loophole' and yesterday's Super League announcement. Plus Chip Talk on Wldcarding in GW19 vs GW20

James presents the annual calendar year football quiz with 50 questions on events that happened in football, primarily featuring Premier League clubs in 2023. And Suj brings his worryingly sketchy memory for the answers to make you all feel like there is an achievable target to beat.

Very best of luck and enjoy the quiz which also acts as a nice remider of many of the key football events throughout the year.

On Clash of the Correspondents James is joined by Tottenham fan Ricky Saunders and Everton fan Sean Norton to discuss the latest at their clubs, including each's starving for a trophy and preview Saturday's GW18 meeting at White Hart Lane.

Despite the absence of several key players, some of it self inflicted by suspensions, and a spell that saw them pick up 1 point from 5, Tottenham are 6 points off top and have 6 of the next 10 at home. The couldn't... could they...?

4 wins and 4 clean sheets on the bounce for Everton have taken them 7 points clear of the drop zone and without the ten point deduction Everton would actually be ninth. They now want their points back so they can challenge for Europe!

There's lots of Fantasy discussion, including Son's positioning on the left and whether he should be captained this week by FPL managers. Pedro Porro is proving popular and so now is Richarlison after 3 goals in 2, but would Dejan Kulusevski or Brennan Johnson be a better bet?

Plus, Everton defensive assets will now attract interest, and do the likes of Abdoulaye Doucoure and Dwight McNeill offer a differential route to points.

On The Gameweek Review Podcast, reflections on James' Wildcard and it's been some time... but Suj missed the Deadline and he's now stuck with 3 Manchester City assets heading into GW18.

All the games reviewed, there were some daft red cards, Villa and Tottenham assets are likely to be particularly popular heading into GW18 and there's an assessment of the Tottenham midfield assets and the likely Villa line-up.

Manchester United thwarted an under par Liverpool, Newcastle got back to winning ways and Everton made it 4 wins on the spin without conceding and there's discussion on the team who changed tactics and may have regretted it.

And final points for the Gameweek aren't confirmed as yet following the collapse of Tom Lockyer - who thankfully appears to be in a stable condition - and the suspension of Bournemouth's game with Luton.

James is joined by Clayton for a look beyond the festive period and into January when the majority of Premier League clubs will have players leaving to play in the African Cup of Nations and Asia Cup. There's discussion on the impacts for FPL which kicks off with ideas of what to do with all the spare money if managers intend to sell Mo Salah and Heung-Min Son.

There's coverage of how many weeks key players are likely to be away with analysis of the maximum and minimum FPL weeks that players could miss, who's likely to go from each club, the impact on those clubs, players who may benefit from those departing and the clubs that should be targeted for investment from FPL managers during the period of the international tournaments.

On the Podcast there is a couple of recommendations for extra reading viewing on the subject...

James is joined on Clash of the Correspondents by Chelsea fan Gary Mantle and Sheffield United fan Ben 'Tommo' Thompson to discuss the latest at their clubs and preview Saturday's meeting at Stamford Bridge in GW17.

For Chelsea fans, frustration with manager Mauricio Pochettino is beginning to grow following defeats at Manchester United and Everton but much of the anger may also be heading towards the owners, who could well spend big again (!) in the January transfer window.

For Sheffield United, Paul Heckingbottom has departed, replaced by former favourite Chris Wilder, but has everyone welcomed him back with open arms? And there's discussion on why this Wilder version of The Blades, so far, looks different to what had been expected.

Plus, this was meant to be when FPL managers steamed in to Chelsea assets. The prospects of Cole Palmer and Raheem Sterling are discussed, but are they short term picks? And can any of the defensive players be trusted to do well?

And Saturday's opponents should not be overlooked either with 5 genuine enabling options worth considering, including Saturday's matchwinner James McAtee.

Another dramatic weekend of football for FPL managers, which included an injured Erling Haaland missing out for Manchester City and bug returns for Mo Salah and Heung-Min Son. While for James, multiple problems on top of the Haaland news prompted James to pull the trigger on Wildcard on Saturday night 2 weeks earlier than planned.

While for Suj, despite having the vice captaincy on Mo Salah, he still scored less than a Salah-less James. But at least he didn't say Fulham wouldn't score 5 goals against West Ham last Friday... ...oh yes he did!

All the games reviewed as Villa extended their incredible winning run, Tottenham finally turned a good performance into a good resullt against a walking wounded Newcastle, Bournemouth won comfortably at Old Trafford and Chelsea were humbled at an Everton who are 3 from 3 and no goals conceded.

The Podcast also has a theme of options under consideration for James' Wildcard and Planet FPL won a trophy this weekend!
