Is there too much football at the top level of the game? It's a hot topic of debate particularly in light of Rodri suffering a serious injury only days after speaking out again about the demands on players physically and mentally at the upper echelons of the game. Clayton joins James for an open discussion on if the likes of Rodri are right, and if so, what can be done to change things? Conversation features the Science opinion on how many games games top players are asked to play, why the manager and player opinion often differs from 'the club' demands, the future of the Carabao Cup, whether the FIFA Club World Cup will actually happen, if players could actually consider strike action and a suggestion that might actually have some legs in the longer-term to reduce the amount of games players participate in.

James is joined by Arsenal fan Adam Pritchard and Leicester City fan Aaron Lagor to discuss the latest at their clubs and their interesting FPL assets ahead of Saturday's Gameweek 6 meeting between the clubs at The Emirates. There's reaction to Arsenal's dramatic draw at Manchester City and their start to the season, the dual for the title and whether The Gunners have really been as good defensively as we all seem to think they have been? While Leicester remain winless, but have been involved in 5 close contests (losing 2) under Steve Cooper. What's the current sentiment to manager Steve Cooper and their hopes for survival in light of the Premier League's failure to make the PSR charge against The Foxes stick? And there's a detailed chat on FPL assets; with many on Wildcard what are the best three Arsenal players to invest in and it should it be double offence or defence? There's also coverage of some intriguing Leicester enablers and whether Bukayo Saka should be trusted by FPL managers with the armband this weekend?

Suj has seen enough and despite a strong start to his FPL season the Wildcard is now active! On the review of all the Gameweek 5 fixtures there is a theme of looking for players on Wildcard as James tries to lead Suj into what he would do if in the same position. And for James it was another positive week against his no Haaland and no Salah strategy, but an early move has been made for GW6 and it's unlikely to surprise. Arsenal assets with be in high demand; so is double defensive the way to go after another resolute showing in earning a point in a dramatic encounter at Manchester City? That game features in the tactical insight into the games where James even found himself impressed by Manchester United; as he was by an improved Tottenham but it was a bad day at the office for West Ham as they were beaten comfortably by Chelsea. Enabling options for selection also feature prominently and James has two midfielders on radar who didn't return at the weekend...

It seems everyone has forward concerns... on James' stream this week there's concern for those who own Alexander Isak, Joao Pedro or Rodrigo Muniz; so what should owners do? Plus, there's discussion on captaincy with some who own Erling Haaland put off by Arsenal's defence strength; there's further defence of Ange Postecoglu despite Tottenham's dismal showing at Coventry in the Cup and lots more...

James is joined by Souuthampton fan Matt Samuel and Ipswich Town fan Paul Gaught-Allen ahead of the meeting between the two promoted clubs at St Mary's on Saturday. Both clubs remain winless, but the situation feels more troublesome at Southampton following their defeat at Manchester United and despite averaging a whopping 62% possession so far, they have only scored once. Ipswich have two points more following draws with Fulham and Brighton and now have an outstanding long-term fixture run on the horizon where they will hope to rise up the table. There's discussion on the 4.0 defensive assets including Taylor Harwoord-Bellis and Jacob Greaves, Ipswich's attacking talents for Fantasy and why despite their scoring assets James has two Southampton players high on his watchlist.

Clayton and James have an open discussion about the word expert, its factual definition and its use within the FPL community. Because it's a word James really dislikes. But why does he dislike it? Or is it that he doesn't dislike it at all, and only dislikes how it is used? And there's brief coverage to kick off on the words that lost out in the poll, 'nailed' and 'essential'.

On the Gameweek 5 Review Suj and James discuss all the games from the weekend and it was a particularly painful one for James following defeat in the North London Derby. Discussion on Arsenal's victory and how they overcame the absence of Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard. But it wasn't all bad news for James in FPL as Ollie Watkins matched another Erling Haaland haul and it was another successful weekend for Suj who included Gabriel in his starting eleven. Plus, for many Wildcarders there may be regret as Liverpool assets flopped in a surprise defeat to Nottingham Forest and a theme of this week's review is a hunt for decent forward options.
