We're into the last nine gameweeks of the Fantasy Premier League campaign, a critical point of the season where mini-leagues are won and lost. 

On the latest episode of The Fantasy Faithful podcast, Ste and Harry discuss some of the most essential players to have in your FPL team for the run-in and which teams have the most favourable fixtures. 

We once again stress how good Chelsea's defence has been under Thomas Tuchel, whether doubling up on West Ham defence is a good idea, the only Liverpool player worth considering, and wonder if Arsenal will let us down or not. 

There's also transfer tips, captaincy picks, the rescheduled fixtures including Spurs double gameweek, and a tribute to Sergio Aguero after it was announced the FPL legend would be leaving after a decade at Man City.

The international break means a week off for Fantasy Premier League managers, but we're still hard at work delivering the podcast for you ahead of the all-important run-in. 

On the latest episode of The Fantasy Faithful, Ste and Harry discussed the tough decisions that will have to made about premium assets such as Bruno Fernandes, Mo Salah and perhaps even Man City players. 

We also look at which Chelsea players to target with their great run of fixtures to come, why West Ham's Jesse Lingard could be a trap, whether Wolves' Pedro Neto is a good differential or not, and why Kelechi Iheanacho is our king. 

Send on any questions or suggestions for the next episode, where we will pick our must-have players for the final nine gameweeks of FPL.

Following a mixed bag of a gameweek in Fantasy Premier League, we take stock of the big hitters and premium assets across the best teams in the game. 

On the latest episode of the Fantasy Faithful podcast, Ste and Harry take an in-depth look at the most talked-about sides in FPL right now, with particular focus on Chelsea, Liverpool, Man United, Spurs and West Ham. 

We question the necessity of owning either Mo Salah or Bruno Fernandes, two highly expensive players whose form has dipped considerably recently. We also debate which of Bale, Kane or Son are the most important to transfer in, which Chelsea defenders are the best bets, and why Aaron Cresswell is pretty much essential at this stage. 

We also reflect on our regrets from GW27, and give our essential FPL tips on transfers and captaincy picks for GW28.
