This episode, Jermaine Jenas and Jermaine Pennant react to Spurs’ North London Derby defeat, questioning whether the club is staring relegation in the face. With Arsenal controlling the game from start to finish, the discussion turns to mentality, fear factor, tactical setup under the new manager and whether Spurs are in genuine danger. On the Fantasy Premier League side, it was a brutal week for many managers. Discussions include a failed Cole Palmer Triple Captain gamble, the minus-four hits not paying off and whether it’s time to take further risks late in the season. With Haaland already sold, attention shifts to differentials like Ekitike, Morgan Rogers, O’Reilly and Mbeumo as managers look to claw back points. With the season entering crunch time, both the Premier League title race and the relegation battle are heating up — and so is FPL strategy.
