Sky Sports FPL Podcast

James and Mark are joined by Sam Bonfield from FPL Family to reflect on another massive week for premium defenders. Are we officially reaching a stage where defence is more important than attack?

Plus, Bournemouth assets are heavily in demand ahead of their trip to Ipswich. Sam discusses whether Marcus Tavernier is the standout choice in midfield or if you should look elsewhere.

Finally, they tackle the ultimate pre-international break dilemma: is it worth using a transfer this week, and could Alexander Isak actually outscore Erling Haaland as your Gameweek 10 captain?

James and Mark are joined by FPL expert Gianni Buttice to discuss the biggest dilemmas ahead of Gameweek 7.

Manchester City silenced the outside noise with a comfortable win over Liverpool. With Ipswich up next, is a City triple-up back on the cards – and is it a good week to Triple Captain Erling Haaland?

Thousands of managers backed Bukayo Saka over Cole Palmer on their Wildcards. Was that a massive oversight? Plus, we dive into Brighton’s brilliant form after yet more hauls from Maxim De Cuyper and Pascal Gross. We also ask: is it finally time to sell a misfiring Bruno Fernandes?

James Savundra and Mark Briggs are joined by Jack Ukiah for this week’s episode.

Double Gameweek 36 has gone very well for anyone that used their Triple Captain chip on Erling Haaland, but not so well for those that invested in the Crystal Palace defence. James, Mark and Jack reflect on what we’ve seen so far in the Double Gameweek.

They also look ahead to Gameweek 37 which is the penultimate week of the season. Mark tells you the best three Arsenal players to buy for their home game against Burnley.

Mark Briggs is joined by Holly Shand and Nick Grounds for this week’s episode.

It’s the last Double Gameweek of the season, so a great opportunity to use any remaining chips.

Crystal Palace and Manchester City both play twice but how many Palace players do you actually need? And is switching between different City players a good idea?

Arsenal are now firm favourites to win the Premier League title so is investing in their attack now more appealing than their defence?

There’s just four weeks left in the season but still so much to play for! Gameweek 35 is looking like a great week to Wildcard for those that still have the chip available. James, Mark and Pras run through the best players to buy in each position.

Some FPL managers will use their Free Hit chip while others will rely on their regular team. Whichever strategy you’re on, we’ve got everything covered!

The first ‘Blank’ Gameweek of the season takes place this weekend. It’s been caused by the Carabao Cup final which features Arsenal and Manchester City. It means both teams won’t play in the Premier League this weekend.
