    Leicester's Promotion | with Aaron Lagor | The Planet FPL Fan View 2023/24

    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.

    You May Need A Makewaite | Planet SkyFF S.5 Ep.43 | Sky Fantasy Football

    Suj and James discuss all the latest talking points for Sky Fantasy Football and this weekend provides the opportunity for some unlikely differential captaincy options with Erling Haaland and Mo Salah both lower owned than we would normally expect at this stage of the season.
    There's reasoning given for recent transfers, discussion on the Luton-Everton and Crystal Palace-Manchester United single gamedays which includes thoughts that the best options on those single gamedays may have next to no coverage with Everton defence and Bruno Fernandes likely to be popular.
    Plus, data from the last week, remaining targets for rank and transfers, listener questions, why it may take two transfers to fit Haaland back in and more...

    How Can We Improve Refereeing? | The People's Poll ep. 143 | Planet FPL 2023/24

    How Can We Improve Refereeing? | The People's Poll ep. 143 | Planet FPL 2023/24

    Clayton joins James for a discussion on the state of refereeing in the Premier League and what can be to do improve standards the many believe have hit an all time low. But is it really that bad?
    What does good refereeing look like?
    What do we as fans actually want most, is it accuracy or is it something else?
    There's discussion on if VAR has actually hindered the quality of our referees and what fans actually want from the use of technology.
    And solutions are offered to what should be done to assist referees going forwards, which features discussion on releasing audio, getting refs mic'd up, the Wenger law, decision challenges, removing the 'high bar', and what can be done to make officiating attractive and rewarding.

    Go For The Throat | Planet FPL S. 7 Ep. 50 | GW35 Review | Fantasy Premier League

    Go For The Throat | Planet FPL S. 7 Ep. 50 | GW35 Review | Fantasy Premier League

    Suj and James review the weekend of Gameweek 35 and for many Wildcarders it wasn't the success that many had hoped for (so far), particularly with Arsenal's Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka returning well in Arsenal's North London Derby victory that has left James with a sore throat. And it was a strange game that features in the discussion from all the games.
    As usual all the games covered including Chelsea's excellent display at Villa that yielded only a point and Manchester City overcame a period of difficulty to maintain their advantage in the race for the title that also left Forest looking nervously over their shoulder at not just Luton, but now Burnley as well.
    FPL assets for one week, two weeks and all weeks considered which includes those required for just 36 and 38 which may bring a number of enabling differential forwards to the table that Bench Boosters won't consider. Plus, best Arsenal assets covered, injuries have inevitably struck again and James discusses the awkward feeling for Tottenham fans in Gameweek 37 when Manchester City visit. And it is likely to have Fantasy consequences!

    No Time For A White Flag | Planet FPL S. 7 Ep. 49 | GW34 Midweek Review | Fantasy Premier League

    No Time For A White Flag | Planet FPL S. 7 Ep. 49 | GW34 Midweek Review | Fantasy Premier League

    Suj and James review the 6 games played in midweek as Arsenal and Manchester City went big in their pursuit of the title but Liverpool's attempt to keep pace hits the skids in the Merseyside Derby at Everton. Now focus turns from Free Hit 34 to Wildcard 35 with Suj (probably) and James both on Wildcard.
    On the Podcast there's a big lean in the discussion to covering FPL assets from the teams who played in midweek which features 5 of the 6 teams who have a Double in GW37 and whether assets from the likes of Arsenal, Crystal Palace, Everton and Liverpool should go alongside them for the run-in.
    James also gives a detailed view on Tottenham assets who have two upcoming doubles before revealing his intended Wildcard (subject to team news) and there's one player he's desperate to have but isn't likely to fit in.

Great podcast

Very knowledgeable James is a master of the premier league and provide great insides …. But most important is he clearly love what he is doing and its fun always to listen to him.
Thanks for the great work

Morgue-Blade ,

A+ soccer (football) content

Came for the FPL content, stayed for the FPL content AND general football content. James and Suj are brilliant. A few comments on each of them, below:

James is a football encyclopedia and his analysis of the Beautiful Game ™️ is second to none. Seriously, he should be on Sky or BBC Sports (although I’m not sure he could holdback the curse words).

Suj understands the business side of things like no other, and does an excellent job of explaining a wide variety of Money-In-Football ™️ issues. He is also the “Everyman Football Fan” Yin to James’s “Diehard Football Fan” Yang (i.e., Suj represents the views of regular fans).

Like. Subscribe. And leave a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️review.

Pocono Drew ,

Entertaining and informative

These lovely chaps provide a very entertaining podcast. Not only do they know FPL well, I think they give a lot of very good football insight as well. Well structured podcast that covers a variety of topics on FPL and football.
