Suj and James review all the football and key FPL talking points from the Gameweek 25 weekend which concluded with dramatic scenes at Anfield as Manchester City kept their title challenge alive.

A very enjoyable weekend of football in the Premier League that included comebacks, momentum shifts and late drama and some FPL haulers too in the likes of (substitute) Joao Pedro and the Liverpool pair of Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike.

Suj and James explore why many are making the decision to Wildcard now, including teams that could have assets that are desirable, and assets that may be binned. And very importantly there's a look at strategy ideas for those on Wildcard, i...

On the review of the weekend football Suj and James reflect on yet another Gameweek where FPL points were hard to find and it all began before deadline with leaks that Erling Haaland and Phil Foden would not start for Manchester City. Trouble was, that for those who has the info, a change in captaincy didn't necessarily bring reward. So, with Mo Salah back, is dropping Haaland a genuine considerat...

For Tottenham however, a visit from Borussia Dortmund comes first and to the amazement of many Tottenham fans Thomas Frank remains in charge. Has he got to go? It looks an uphill task for Burnley to stay up, but they have drawn f...

Suj took the spoils over James in the Planet FPL Derby and to say the mood is now toxic at Tottenham Hotspur would be putting it mildly. Yet, somehow, Thomas Frank remains in charge, for now... And so to too does Oliver Glasner despite the Crystal Palace manager suggesting that he's been left abandoned by the hierarchy at The Eagles. At least there was some great football this weekend to enjoy......

Suj and James reflect on all the midweek games as Igor Thiago and Bruno Guimaraes again rewarded owners like James, which meant more pain for Suj, but has the time been and gone to invest in them? Or are their contributions to good to ignore? Those returns helped Brentford and Newcastle in top the top 6, helped by the fact none of the 6 who started the week in those places won as this was another...
