Planet FPL - The Fantasy Football Podcast

Correspondent Week concludes with one of the most vital Podcasts of the week as Sam joins James for discussion on The Seagulls and there are lots of players to consider for FPL managers. But for manager Roberto De Zerbi there are a lot of players to choose from and a first ever voyage to play European football confuses matters further.

So, the big question, who can we be sure will start for Brighton in GW1 and beyond?  Spoiler: It’s complicated.

Pervis Estupinan and Kaoru Mitoma are part of the current template, have they got to go in t FPL teams or are there differentials who can be trusted.

Squad overview, season expectations, predicted line-up and more…

On James’ fixture planner for the first 8 gameweeks the team that appears top of the difficulty ratings, is Everton. Can they take advantage and get off to a good start despite concerns that they’ll be involved near the bottom of that table again?

And if so are there FPL assets to consider? The answer is almost definitely yes.

Jordan Pickford, James Tarkowski and Ashley Young may all appeal defensively but the gem might be 4.0 Jorrod Branthwaite. Could he start the season?

And at the top end Arnaut Danjuma and Dominic Calvert-Lewin – subject to fitness – could also be considered and as we find out on the Podcast there may even be a gem who is yet to be given a price.

The Championship Champions are next up on Correspondent Week and the expectation is The Clarets are strongest of the three promoted teams. Jack Toner joins James discuss Vincent Kompany, total football and an overview of the squad and the FPL assets at Turf Moor.

The Blank Gameweek 2 doesn’t help when trying to select Burnley players for FPL but there are some enablers who definitely deserve consideration. That includes a number of 4.0 defenders, in fact Jack details that as many as three could well start the opener against Manchester City. Jordan Beyer is comfortably the most owned, is he the best choice?

Who’s likely to start up front? Could Wout Weghorst be reintegrated into the team?

Plus players to watch, likely starting eleven, why further investment is both needed and expected and a tactical discussion suggests Burnley might on occasion play a back five.

Gary Mantle joins James for a particularly important Correspondent Week Podcast on Chelsea who are now managed by former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino and have a number of important and interesting FPL assets that appeal, particularly ahead of a critical fixture swing in Gameweek 3.

But Christopher Nkunku ‘might’ be injured, should he be fit he is still very much worth considering, but so to is the slightly cheaper Nicolas Jackson.

Reece James vs Ben Chilwell, which is best for investment? Or should 4.5 Levi Colwill take Fantasy managers defensive investment? Or should, with concerns about depth in midfield, Chelsea’s defence be avoided all together?

Plus, 4.5 midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka looks set to start in GW1, is he one of the 8 Chelsea players Gary thinks (subject to fitness) are locked to start vs Liverpool?

Bournemouth fan Neil Grover joins James for discussion on The Cherries and a very important discussion on what to expect from new manager Andoni Iraola… and there’s plenty for Bournemouth fans to be enthused about.

There is however a daunting opening 7 fixtures of the season and Bournemouth will do well to be outside the bottom 3 by the end of it… but on the flip side Iraola’s Rayo Vallecano were adept at causing upsets against the big boys, which leads to an interesting debate about the GW2 fixture at Liverpool.

There’s a detailed tactical chat about how Iraola likes to set up, plus an overview of the squad, likely starting eleven, the prospects for Dominic Solanke and why new left-back Milos Kerkez should be one Fantasy managers keep a close eye on…

When does the season hold in store for Newcastle following qualification for the Champions League. Simon Bibby joins James to talk all things Newcastle including all the potential FPL assets.

It’s a tough opening for The Toon; Villa, Man City, Liverpool and Brighton is the opening 4, and so many want to treat Newcastle as a watch and wait, but Kieran Trippier and Sven Botman’s ownership suggest otherwise. Are the defensive pair worth having or are they like to bleed value?

There’s discussion on new signings Sandro Tonali and Harvey Barnes, increasing depth in the squad could mean more rotation but there is concern about depth defensively.

Plus, who’s likely to start out of Alexander Isak and Callum Wilson? 

And Si and James agree on the Newcastle asset they are most likely to pick in FPL… and the answer may surprise.

The task looked tough already with spending likely to be restricted, critics writing them off and now star signing Ilman Ndiaye has left for Marseille. Ben ‘Tommo’ Thompson joins James to discuss The Blades chances of silencing the critics and to discuss a number of interesting enabler options for FPL.

Right wing-back George Baldock is proving popular but will he start regularly enough to justify investment?

And we find out it could be a bench full of Blades for FPL managers with 4.5 midfield and forward options who may emerge.

Plus, likely starting eleven, find out who’s nicknamed ‘League One’, and there’s injuries… lots of them!

Ricky Saunders joins James to talk all things Tottenham and there’s only one place to start, and that’s to answer the big burning question, will Harry Kane stay, and what will Tottenham look like with and without their talisman?

There’s an intro to Ange Postecoglu, spoiler, expect a much more attacking Tottenham, and details of tactical principles including the roles of the full-backs and who’s likely to start in those positions.

Plus, the need for at least one centre-back is desperate, the roles of James Maddison and Heung-Min Son in this ‘new Tottenham’ are beginning to look defined and there’s eyes on a couple of interesting lower price Tottenham players, though like with much of the team there’s no certainty that they will start.

It’s been a challenging month for The Cottagers, key players picking up injuries and both their star player and manager have been the subject of interest from Saudi Arabia. Manager Marco Silva has decided to stay but talisman Aleksander Mitrovic appears to still want out. Can he be reintegrated and convinced to stay?

If Mitrovic does leave how much interest should FPL managers have in Carlos Vinicus or new signing Raul Jimenez?

Which of the 5.5 midfielders stands out as the best choice?

Is Bernd Leno the best 4.5 goalkeeper choice?

Plus, concerns over squad depth, whether investment in the team is likely and if we can be sure Fulham will avoid a case of ‘second season syndrome’
