Lauren Harris joins James to preview The Women's European Championships that kick off in Switzerland tomorrow, and England's Lionesses will be among the favourites. But they haven't been helped by the draw and England are at risk of an early elimination should things go badly from a Group that also contains France, The Netherlands and Wales. The lopsided nature of the draw means Spain should breeze through to the Semi Finals and it does guarantee one of the lesser nations reach the final four. To get to that stage England won't have to just navigate their Group of Death, but also a likely Quarter Final against Sweden or Germany, the two sides England beat to lift this trophy three years ago. All 16 nations covered, best players to keep an eye on, England's likely line up for their opener on Saturday and there are two Fantasy formats on the tournament covered too.

For years Trent Alexander-Arnold has been the highest priced defender in FPL, but with the right-back off to Madrid what should that mean for the pricing of defenders in FPL? Suj and James deliberate who might come in as the most expensive and who that should be, discussing options from the expected top 3 of Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City. There's also discussion about other assets such as Marc Cucurella, Lewis Hall, Daniel Munoz and Pedro Porro and where they should sit in the pricing. Plus, should money be invested in premium defenders at all following last season and there's a look at some rotatable pairings that may well interest FPL managers for the start of the season.

James discusses key moments from the final Group games at The Club World Cup and looks ahead to the upcoming last 16 ties. There's a focus on Manchester City and their fluidity in last night's victory over Juventus, why Chelsea will fancy their chances in the competition now, the disappointment for the Argentinian sides and why on reflection we probably should have expected their neighbours from Brazil to out perform them.

James discusses done deals at Bournemouth, Brighton, Crystal Palace, Leeds and Wolves over the last couple of weeks and discusses some of the big moves being rumoured. That includes discussion on the likes of Anthony Elanga and Eberechi Eze, Arsenal's likely two ew central midfield players, their (and others) desire for a new number 9. And why the June 30th deadline holds importance for clubs looking to comply with PSR and that features Crystal Palace.

On Chip Talk James assesses opportunities to use the first Wildcard, using references from his 5 week rolling difficulty ticker to take a closer inspection at fixture swings and Gameweeks to attack. There's analysis of activating early, looking at which teams may appeal during the first two International breaks and if there would be an escape for those considering a Gameweek 1 Bench Boost. There's two London clubs who really appeal around GW8, but it may be that the Wildcard could be served best after the International break in November, or for some it may even appeal to wait for the Christmas period when the likes of Mohamed Salah will go to AFCON. Tomorrow on Planet FPL: Ask James, live stream scheduled for 12pm BST with an audio to follow shortly after conclusion.
