After two weeks of international break injury chaos, James and Alex sift through the wreckage ahead of huge fixture swings in Gameweek 12.

What to do about Trent Alexander-Arnold? Danny Welbeck or Joao Pedro for Brighton's great run of games? Double Arsenal defence?

James is smug (again) after being named as one of FPL Review's Elite 1000 managers. How does that feel? What does it mean? And why does it matter?

Lots to think about over the international break. Are you planning to wildcard? If so, we've got the perfect draft for you.

Alex is overjoyed that Ipswich won their first Premier League game of the season but is sad because he captained Phil Foden for another blank. What's happened to last season's star player?

James enjoyed a Bruno Fernandes haul and is at the wheel of the bandwagon...but is a but miffed that people are clamouring for a place on the bus having mocked him all season. Are you buying a ticket?

And what to do about Erling Haaland? Should you keep him? Should you sell him? Should you leave yourself room to get him back easily?

Alex is feeling smug after an incredible week inspired by his ‘tinpot’ defence. So are cheap defenders the way forward with so many premium midfielders making us lick our lips.

James can’t believe the cheek of all those who mocked him for owning Bruno Fernandes now scrambling to buy him now he’s scored a penalty and Erik ten Hag was sacked.

The boys discuss all the key talking points ahead of Gameweek 12, including the return to form of Dominic Solanke, why Manchester City are now rubbish and why Alex is considering a WOLVES triple up!

James triple-captained Erling Haaland and needs to get things off his chest after the Manchester City striker missed two massive chances against Southampton. Was he unlucky or was James just stupid playing the chip in a single gameweek.

While Alex and James were on air, news broke that Manchester United had sacked Erik ten Hag. Will this mean points at last for Bruno Fernandes?

There's also a new FPL king in town and is James about to take his first hit of the season?

The FPL Cartel. What is it? Who's in it? How do you join it? James and Alex have a lot to say about the Bukayo Saka transfer conspiracy after a host of content creators dumped the Arsenal star at the last minute.

There's also the shambles of Son's phantom assist on the agenda and the potential of triple-captaining Erling Haaland despite three blanks in a row.
