Jermaine Jenas and Jermaine Pennant open the episode reflecting on rock-bottom FPL scores, disastrous bench points, and the psychological toll of a season that just isn’t going to plan. With wildcard talk firmly on the table, the lads debate whether a full reset ahead of Gameweek 25 is the only way forward. The biggest talking point is a bold one: selling Haaland. The episode explores whether spreading the budget across two premium players now outweighs the fear of Haaland hauling, and why Bruno Fernandes has suddenly become close to essential again following Manchester United’s resurgence. There’s also praise for form players like Florian Wirtz, discussion around budget enablers, and frustration with players who only return points once they’re sold. Attention then turns to fixtures and risk assessment, including why Spurs don’t look stable, why certain matches “reek” for FPL returns, and which games managers should avoid entirely. Chelsea vs Wolves, Manchester United vs Spurs, and Liverpool vs Man City are all analysed through an FPL lens rather than pure fandom. Plus the boys discuss a quiet January transfer window, Manchester City’s business, surprise moves involving Crystal Palace, and discussion around Pep Guardiola’s long-term future and what his eventual departure could mean for the Premier League.
