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?

They also talk about the rise of bargain strikers like Vardy and Calvert-Lewin, whether it's time to sell Isak and Havertz and answer your burning questions ahead of Gameweek 5...one that kept James awake all night!
