FPL is back with a bang with big points on offer in this double gameweek. Join Ricky by himself today as he reviews GW30+ with the biggest Pep rotation by the fraud himself. Teams looked a little rusty, none more than Arsenal and Norwich who can't seem to defend with David Luiz continuing the banter of Ricky's favourite club. Danny Ings carried on where he left off with Ricky describing him as the 'sharpest player of the gameweek.' Ricky also talks about GW31+ captain options with the consideration of using the TC chip on Richarlison vs Norwich. Other captain options include Jimenez and Bruno Fernandes. The one and only Joelinton's goal drought is now over and I'm sure his ownership will rise significantly as the lad caps a beautiful performance with a very difficult tap in.

Play Episode Listen Later Feb 3, 2020 62:01


GW25 was a shocking gameweek in which the only managers who thrived were those who had Liverpool, Sheffield or Newcastle defenders and captained the Egyptian King, Salah, now the highest scoring player this season. Unfortunately, neither me nor Ricky were one of these managers. Ricky played his wildcard and decided to make a bold and very stupid decision of having a team without Salah or Mane. Prash didn’t wildcard this week but made the bold and (in hindsight) stupid decision to captain Aubayemang over Salah. This week was full of blanks from many of the highly owned players, but we still gave our perspective on these players. We also previewed the strangely structured GW26, the best captain options, debated VAR, answered various questions and looked at performances from the FPL Friends league.
