George Pitts, Billy Lumsden and Aidan Smith are back discussing all things Sky Sports Fantasy Football.

In this week's edition they discuss City's domination with points scorers, more top performers elsewhere in Gameweek 7, look at how our teams performed and discuss the disappointment of Raheem Sterling being left on the bench.

They also look ahead to Game week 8, with Everton v Man City, Sheff Utd v Liverpool, Tottenham v Southampton and Chelsea v Brighton a few of the fixtures discussed, as well as Sunday's clash between Leicester and Newcastle and then Monday's big game between Man United and Arsenal.

Who to pick this weekend? There are mentions for Callum Hudson-Odoi, after signing a new Chelsea contract, Tammy Abraham, Fikayo Tomori and players from Newcastle who are short of goals at the minute.

We hunt around the Sporting Life office to share our team's free tips for the weekend ahead, covering racing at Newmarket, Premier League football, the Rugby World Cup and the Russian GP.

Tom Carnduff, Billy Lumsden and Aidan Smith are back discussing all things Sky Sports Fantasy Football. After a week in which we were in no doubt that Manchester City players would all earn loads of points, we're left to reflect on the next-to-nothing tally they returned. For Billy, his selection of Aston Villa's Frédéric Guilbert proved to be the correct one and saved his weekend, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang secured over 50% of the points in Tom's team. Nicolas Otamendi may have gifted their third goal on Saturday, but it was still a decent weekend for the City centre-back and that left the bragging rights with Aidan. Who to pick for the next round of fixtures? We discuss the action on each day.

Pinatubo takes centre stage in this week’s Racing Podcast and we get the latest from Timeform’s Flat Editor David Johnson to see just how the juvenile’s stunning weekend performance matches up with two-year-old greats of the past.
