Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! Join Andy & Chris for their series of season preview podcasts, the FPL Lounge Long Weekend. In this final of four episodes ahead of the 2023/24 season, they'll be looking at Forwards. 

With only two 'premium' forwards in the game this year, how irresistible is Erling Haaland? Can managers survive without him? Is there a way to own both him and Kane? The lads try to answer all these questions.

There are only two mid-priced options from £7.0-8.5m that appeal to Andy & Chris, although they acknowledge that others could come to the fore if their minutes are more guaranteed. There's plenty of intrigue in the budget options, though, including a possible Brighton forward on penalties and Brentford's Ivan Toney replacement.

That's a wrap for the Long Weekend; next up is the GW1 Preview, due to be recorded Wednesday and with you by Thursday. Don't forget to follow the lads on twitter and instagram @FPL_Lounge.
