It's 2 pods in 3 days for Sam & Tom, as we're in on Wednesday for what would've been our wildcard special… had we not already frantically pressed the buttons a gameweek ahead of schedule in 30!   In the show today, we discuss our thinking behind the strategies we chose, the players we picked and debate if there's much actual difference between the wildcard setups (beyond the obvious injury replacements) if we waited for a week.   Plus in the best transfers, Gabriel replacements and if Saka is worth jumping on now amongst other things (including a word for those on assistant manager for 31-33), bold claims and examine what – if anything – we'll be doing for the week ahead in another tight turnaround edition of WGTA.   If you liked the show, please subscribe and leave a 5* review of the pod – it goes a long way...
