On Clash of the Correspondents it's a battle of The Blues as Everton fan Sean Norton and Chelsea fan Gary Mantle join James to discuss the latest at their clubs and preview Saturday's Gameweek 31 meeting. For both away results have been better than at home. For Everton a move to their new stadium can give some explanation but for Chelsea there is a concern and already fan sentiment for Liam Roseni...

Only 12 goals scored from 9 games so far in Gameweek 30 which means clean sheet returns for some, but lots of blankers for others. And the big winners once again may well have been Bruno Fernandes captainers who once again banked a double digit return at Old Trafford. All the games reviewed as Arsenal left it late, but extended their lead over Manchester City who dropped points at a resolute West...

Suj and James discuss all the key action from Gameweek 29's first 9 games, where bench points have been required by many FPL managers again, and it was a great night for Arsenal as they won at Brighton as Manchester City slipped up at home to Nottingham Forest, and there was a win for West Ham too which means it's very squeaky at the bottom. Chelsea were the only winners of those seeking a top 5 s...

Manchester United have 6 wins and a draw from Michael Carrick's first 7 games and are now up to third - is the interim manager making himself the choice for the full t...

It was an unforgettable week for many FPL managers, and that included James, whose bench boost went bust with three no shows, but a score of 99 still meant a big jump inside the top 10k. For Suj it was a bit more forgettable. Infact, the only good news was a defeat for Nottingham Forest at Brighton, as Suj's West Ham and James' Tottenham once again fell to defeats. Those defeats feature in a revie...

Suj and James fared very differently again in FPL in GW27 as clean sheets were bust, well owned players flopped but one hauler for James in Nico O'Reilly made the difference; but there is no doubt as James even concedes, that there was big slice of luck that he even still owned him.

David joins James on the Gameweek Review for discussion on the nine games played so far, but for many, the FPL week will be defined by what Arsenal do with many scores on the low side so far.
