Ask James | Thursday May 2nd | Planet FPL 2023/24

On the penultimate Planet FPL Gameweek review Podcast of the season Suj and James discuss the four games played since Monday that saw Aston Villa claim a point against Liverpool despite being 3-1 down, Manchester City going back top after beating a spirited Tottenham in a unique atmosphere in North London and Chelsea look favourites for a Europa League place after beating Brighton whilst Newcastle were beaten at Manchester United and there's a heated debate about Erik Ten Hag's future. There's a heavy focus on players to but in Gameweek 38 which includes discussion on players to buy to protect position, who's looking popular and some big differentials to consider. Plus, Reece James red cards per inute vs Christopher Nkunku's goals per minutes checked, Tottenham's tactical tweaks and why they troubled City in detail and why the Podcast has this stupid title!

On the Sky Fantasy Football Podcast Suj and James discuss the key talking points ahead of the final two gamedays, but is there anywhere to go tonight for those lucky enough to still have transfers in hand? Or should there be patience for final day assets? There's coverage of the four teams playing tonight and the differentials who could go big on Sunday, why picking your battles on captaincy is important and James reasons why in his situation there's no reason to go against in his situation, but for Suj - who has actually used his transfers - there's reason to seek punts with his captaincy picks. Plus, there's a philosophical take on the mental side of Sky versus FPL, data scrape from the games played this week, listener questions covered and thoughts begin to turn to next season.

On Clash of the Correspondents James is joined by Burnley fan Jack Toner and Nottingham Forest fan Mark Sutherns to discuss the latest at their clubs ahead of Sunday's final day meeting at Turf Moor. For Burnley, relegation was confirmed following defeat at Tottenham and it's felt like an inevitability for some time but the club has kept faith with manager Vincent Kompany and their inexperienced squad should be in a good position to challenge to come straight back... or is there reason for concern? Forest are safe, bar an unlikely 12 goal swing on final day. But it has been a bad season and their safety is only due to the inability of the three teams below. What's gone wrong? And what are the club likely to do next? Could key players depart? And will Nuno Espirito Santo be kept on? Plus, goals are expected when the two clubs meet on Sunday, so should FPL managers look at enablers such as Jacob Braun Larsen or Callum Hudson-Odoi as a source for points in Gameweek 38?

On the weekend Review of Gameweek 37 Suj and James discuss all the games from the weekend which included confirmation of Burnley's relegation and Luton Town will almost certainly be joining them; while Manchester City and Arsenal both won to nil to confirm that the title race will go to the final day, but how James' Tottenham do against City tomorrow is likely to be decisive. But do Tottenham even want to win!? Bench Boosters have mainly done well, clean sheets for Arsenal and Everton have helped but there was pain for owners of Bruno Fernandes and Callum Wilson owners after their weekend no-shows. Plus, there's a focus on one week punts for Sunday's finale, and that may include interest in a Crystal Palace team who are in red hot form. They won again at Wolves, who themselves travel to Anfield on final day and Liverpool assets may well be of interest too subject to what we see at Villa Park tonight. And there's plenty more too consider from others too!

James is joined by West Ham fan Chris Stone and Luton fan Dan Ashby on Clash of the Correspondents to discuss the latest at their clubs and preview Saturday's meeting in East London. It's been a dramatic week for The Hammers, a 5-0 beating at Chelsea was followed by the news that David Moyes will leave the club at the end of this season with former Wolves manager Julen Lopetegui widely being reported to be his replacement. There's discussion on Moyes' tenure and the potential new boss. The Hatters meanwhile are three points from safety with two to play and the decision that Nottingham Forest's points deduction will stand means there is still hope, but two wins will probably be needed. Can they get the win they need against a West Ham team that has only won 3 league games in 2024? Plus, likely summer departures, looking ahead to next season and are FPL managers right to overlook these two teams this weekend?

On Clash of the Correspondents James is joined by Manchester United fan Gary Robinson and Newcastle fan Simon Bibby to discuss the latest at their clubs ahead of their meeting at Old Trafford next Wednesday which is part of a Double Gameweek for both clubs. For the Red Devils morale appears to be on the floor following Monday's heavy loss at Crystal Palace with some now suggesting Erik Ten Hag shouldn't even make it as far as the Manchester FA Cup Final. Can The Dutchman stay in the job into next season? There's discussion on Manchester United's attempts to take Newcastle's Sporting Director Dan Ashworth and if it signals any concerns about Newcastle's longer-term plan. Is there also a need to sell one of their star players to comply with PSR? Plus, all the key FPL assets discussed, including thoughts on Bruno Fernandes' injury status, whether Alexander Isak is a legitimate captaincy option, the impact of Callum Wilson's return, best defensive assets from both clubs, whether Nick pope and Kieran Trippier are likely to start on Saturday and lots more...

On the Sky Fantasy Football Podcast Suj and James preview the penultimate week of the season for Sky Fantasy and it was further disaster for Suj on the weekend and James, who is now out of transfers, has a unique suggestion of what (not) to do with Suj's remaining 4 transfers. On the Pod, why injury news on Bruno Fernandes may present those with transfers left with the opportunity to invest in some great differentials on Sunday, there's discussion on the 3 upcoming single gamedays and the favoured captaincy choices for the 5 gamedays over the next week. There's also coverage of listener questions and why the guys love this particular Fantasy Football format.

Suj and James discuss another dramatic week in FPL where the top 10k average hit 100 and James exceeded that to enter into the top 100k but for Suj, the less said the better! All the games reviewed as usual which included Suj and James teams getting slapped respectively and conceding a combined 9 at Stamford Bridge and Anfield. And Manchester United didn't want to be left out as they crumbled to a 4-0 loss at Crystal Palace last night. The title race continues to look like it will go down to the wire as Arsaenal and Manchester City recorded comfortable victories which featured Erling Haaland scoring four and Nottingham Forest claimed a crucial victory at Sheffield United. Amongst the analysis of the games is a heavy focus on FPL assets for Double Gameweek 37 and the final day and many FPL managers will have a defensive crisis on their hands ahead of the Double but the closer it gets the more it feels like single gameweek players shouldn't necessarily be overlooked and there are solutions offered for Bruno Fernandes owned if Manchester United's talisman doesn't make it for trhe double.

James is joined by Leicester City correspondent Aaron Lagor following the Foxes crowning as Championship Champions that means they will be making an immediate return to the Premier League under the stewardship of Enzo Maresca. There's discussion on how The Foxes did it, Maresca's philosophy and tactics which naturally has parallels with that of Pep Guardiola, whom Maresca was previously assistant to at Manchester City. There's an overview of the squad which includes some early thoughts on who may appeal to FPL managers next season and that could include the Championship goalkeeper of the season, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and a 37 year-old Jamie Vardy who is still going strong. But there are concerns, with the season rumoured to be set to begin with a points deduction due to failures to meet PSR requirements and therefore spending may be limited and sales shouldn't necessarily be ruled out either.
