@PlanetFPLPod Is Saka offering enough as a premium option or should we be downgrading to afford the likes of Ekitike, Cunha etc

🌍 Please can we have your questions for tomorrow's Planet FPL GW17 Review Podcast?

@PlanetFPLPod BB GW5 which I haven’t really seen anyone else talking about. Great fixtures for Liverpool, Forest & Villa. Enablers from Fulham, Wolves. Good enough fixture to play Dubravka. And hopefully not too much rotation after/before the midweek games

🍟 I wanna hear some alternative Chip Strategy ideas that you think you have found... Not the obvious one's everyone has discussed on here, I'm talking about the Bench Boost/Free Hit opportunities that you've seen that you think others are overlooking...

@PlanetFPLPod 18/20! Timing correspondent week with my holiday is ideal

Who's on 19/20?

@FPL__Raptor Currently looking at GW5. Good fixtures for Liverpool, Forest, Villa & Palace plus some enablers from Wolves, Fulham etc

I am collecting data for a video coming soon - can you please tell me your plan for the Bench Boost chip? #FPL Please RT and share for a bigger sample size! ♻️

@lateriser12 I only need him for BB33 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Really hope Areola doesn't lose his place for the poor keeping in the last game. It wasn't a good performance but you'd hope that he's a Potter keeper which is why Fabs doesn't get a shot.

@FPLFella If I BB33 yes, but if I BB32 I’ll probably FH33 and get through 34 with a couple of transfers

If you're on a WC30/31 and BB32/33 I'm guessing you're on FH34 right?

@GianniButtice Emery and Rogers for me

Take your pick

@thepaulwilliams The set up was dreadful. It was like they stopped playing after the scrum. No go forward ball. Just kept looking back for Ford in the pocket. The opposite of the Smith drop goal to beat Ireland

Ford can't take all the noise for that. Ball carrier runs across the 9, when they're clearly set for a DG. 9 then forced into high, loopy pass to the right of Ford. Ford then had to adjust. There's a lot gone wrong there.

#FPL Gameweek 7's average was 46 points, the lowest of the season so far! 😣 How many did you score?

Ian Wright and the ITV team have obviously been listening to @PlanetFPLPod calling for Saka at left back!

@FPL__Raptor Get a ferry to Positano while you are there, lovely place

Anyone visited Sorrento before? If so, any recommendations on where to stay in Sorrento or any specific places to visit whilst there?

@FPLFella Too hot to be worrying about PBs!

Not the 5k time I want but getting it done is all that counts at the moment 🥵

@HinduMonkey Relying on double Chelsea to save my GW

@HinduMonkey 9/9 blanks so far 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

@FPLScofield I currently only have 3 in GW29 and looking ahead my team looks pretty good until 35 so I’ve decided to FH. Original plan was to take a -8 and get 9 out

Would you take a -12 from GW27-29 to have a full team in BGW29, therefore avoiding the FH? Or would you draw the line at -8 in hits to avoid the FH? Or a -4?

@lateriser12 @ZopharFPL @Pras_fpl @FPL__Fran I’m sat with Gabriel and Saka so definitely thinking of adding another Arsenal attacker. But had been leaning more towards Ode for security. Would you favour Trossard? And would you rather go there than for Hwang/Neto?

I also do a pod with @ZopharFPL and @Pras_fpl every week. We did 2 pcs of content this week. Gameweek 26 wildcard with @Pras_fpl and Top1k @FPL__Fran: youtu.be/Q9X3t48Bl18?si… Gameweek 26 Pod: youtube.com/live/LG0IsQ20E… Thats all. Much love.

Haaland in the double - Haaland However, it could have been so much more, having racked up a combined 15 shots and 2.44 expected goals (xG) across his two fixtures. If I had to choose one [striker for that moment] I prefer to choose this one. When I was young, I was told about top strikers, don’t criticise them because he will shut your mouth, that’s for sure. Sooner or later always they are there. “He was out for two months [injured]. He had an incredibly tough week last week, he lost his grandmother and it’s not easy for a human being. But he scored when he’s not in his best shape at the moment. He’s so tall, out for two months. “We spoke about the moment but he didn’t say anything about the passing of his grandmother. We talked a little about how he feels and of course [it was tough] for his father. In these types of games, especially against Brentford you need Erling.” – Pep Guardiola on Erling Haaland (continued)

@FPL__Raptor @Pras_fpl If you’re going to just attack the next 3 GWs do you think Hwang is the best option? Very tempted by Odegaard who will also play SHU in that time

Listening to @Pras_fpl talk about the FA Cup 5th round results last night makes me much more tempted to just go for Hwang/Neto instead of Bailey/Luiz/Bowen. I've been planning on the basis of no upsets, which is more unlikely than likely. I have 6 players with confirmed fixtures in 29 already, not sure I need to bring in another confirmed player when one upset could change the plan completely anyway (e.g., if Chelsea lose to Leeds, I get 3 more players immediately; if Liverpool lose, I'd want to wildcard 27 or free hit 29 anyway). Chasing the upside against SHU (H) and seeing what happens next week with the FA cup feels a decent plan. Wolves and Bournemouth could end up playing in 29 and if I bring in Hwang/Solanke this week, even better!

@fpl_tactician It just doesn’t make sense to me. If we played our chips retrospectively at the end of the season you would just pick the week your captain scored the most points regardless of EO. We’re just trying to pick the player who we think will score the most points

Still don’t think people understand my tactic of just Captaining the most highly owned TC of the season. If he blanks - Fantastic. If he hauls - Damage could be worse. Swinging against a huge EO is a decent tactic right?

@FPLFella Haven’t seen that tool before, pretty happy to have finished top 10% each year!

Love this tool. Shows when I started taking it pretty seriously. Those early year ranks are a killer.

@FPL_Gills If you downgrade Pedro to Archer with one of your FTs this week could you do Rashford and Bruno to Salah and Diaby/JWP?
