Following Monday's announcement of the parting of the ways between Manchester United and Erik Ten Hag, James welcomes Manchester United fan Gary Robinson to discuss the The Dutchman's tenure and what lies ahead for The Red Devils. There's coverage of where it will went wrong for Ten Hag and whether he will be remembered well having won trophies in his two full seasons and what can be expected next for United, with it looking highly likely that Sporting Lisbon's Ruben Amorim will take the job. What can be expected tactically from the Portuguese manager. And there's question asked of the playing squad, who many will feel have underperformed for a manager again; a target of winning the Premier League in 2028, and what the current changes mean in the immediate for Fantasy Football Managers.

On Clash of the Correspondents James is joined by Ipswich fan Paul Gaught-Allen and Leicester fan Aaron Lagor to discuss one of Saturday's bif 6 pointers at the bottom of the table at Portman Road. Ipswich remains winless and now have injuries and suspensions causing major alarm, particularly in the backline. While though Leicester can be pleased with their return so far of 1 point per game Friday's defeat to Nottingham Forest has dampened the mood. There's discussion on the relegation scrap, tactics and selection options for Saturday, prospects for FPL assets such as Leif Davis and Jamie Vardy and whether the real FPL opportunity with these two clubs should come, not from investing in them, but in attacking players about to face them!

Suj and James discuss all the weekend GW9 games as James hit gold with Bryan Mbeumo captaincy to take on Erling Haaland who despite some very big chances only scored once against Southampton - and now with Cole Palmer, Bukayo Saka and Mohamed Salah all scoring yesterday, some may be getting twitchy as to the value of the £15.4m forward. But Suj isn't pulling the plug just yet and despite some concern on social media didn't miss the deadline in a week where he also scored well. Lots of FPL assets are on radar with many enabling forwards appealing and there are concerns for some popular players like Gabriel and Dwight McNeil who may have picked up injuries. But the Podcast begins with an extended intro and the news that filtered through just after recording had concluded of Manchester United's decision to sack their manager! And thus, Gameweek NINE was to prove to be the the end for Erik TEN Hag Tomorrow on Planet FPL: Clash of the Correspondents, Ipswich Town v Leicester City with Paul Gaught-Allen and Aaron Lagor Today on Patreon: The Patreon Q'N'A and Nico's Corner For the full Planet FPL schedule this week, including our offering on Patreon view this post: https://www.patreon.com/posts/114855038 Want to become a member of our FPL community and support the Podcast?  Join us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/planetfpl Follow James on Twitter/x: https://twitter.com/PlanetFPLPod Follow Suj on Twitter/x: https://twitter.com/sujanshah Follow Clayton on Twitter/x: https://twitter.com/claytsAFC Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@PlanetFPL Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/planetfpl Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/planetfpl #FPL #FantasyPremierLeague #GW9Review Learn more about your ad choices.

On Clash of the Correspondents James is joined by Chelsea fan Gary Mantle and Newcastle fan Simon Bibby ahead of Sunday's meeting between the clubs at Stamford Bridge and right from the get-go on this Podcast there's a strong feeling about a positive Fantasy weekend for Cole Palmer! That's in part because of Chelsea's bright start to the season which included a spirited performance despite defeat at Liverpool, but is also due to on-going concerns that not all is well with Newcastle... but why? All the key FPL assets covered and with both set for positive fixture swings in Gameweek 12 there's plenty to cover with thoughts on Chelsea's defensive assets, the prospects for Anthony Gordon and Alexander Isak going forward, there's advice for Noni Madueke owners and James is very keen on investing in Nicolas Jackson.

Suj and James have an open discussion about the 6 highest priced midfielders in FPL; Mo Salah, Cole Palmer, Bukayo Saka, Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden with the aim of ascertaining which of them is desired most in the immediate upcoming fixtures and then in the longer-term from the fixture swing in Gameweek 12. There's a look at the data so far this season, the fixtures, the explosive capabilities of the players and how many is the right number to have, the danger of having only one and cutting yourself off of others and how having as many as three can allow you flexibility to move budget around. But having only two, and certainly three, would make it very difficult to hold Erling Haaland moving forward.

Suj and James review all the key talking points from the Gameweek 8 weekend and for many it was an FPL weekend to forget with many popular assets blanking, but there were success stories to be found with the likes of Mo Salah, Heung-Min Son (perhaps controversially) and Ollie Watkins returning well. Son, was gambled on by a number of FPL managers just before deadline with concern surrounding Bukayo Saka, who wouldn't feature in The Gunners first defeat of the season at Bournemouth. Did those managers have inside information on Saka's absence!? James is holding on to a place just inside the top 10k, but his biggest joy of the weekend was seeing success for Tottenham in the Planet FPL Derby, which features heavily in a Gameweek Review that also covers how Chelsea impressed despite defeat at Liverpool. And it was a third blank in a row for Erling Haaland at Wolves, so surely he can't blank again with whipping boys Southampton up next. Or could he!? Deploying the triple captaincy is discussed and James has some new players on radar for transfers, which even includes one from Manchester United.
