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...

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...

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 C...

On the weekend review of DGW34 Suj returns to join James to discuss the 7 games played so far and for those who took the plunge on Crystal Palace attacking assets it was likely a good weekend with all of Eze, Olise and Mateta returning well.
