Show Notes

With just a matter of days to go until the first FPL deadline of the season the FPL General is here with his all important golden rules to make sure you stay on track for a good season, he also takes you through his thoughts on captaincy choices for the first six gameweeks, and there's his all important first gameweek draft...

All that plus these listener questions asked:

  • With emerging £4.0m defenders like Tsimikas and Amartey who could offer the same points as the big hitting defenders in the first few weeks, is it wise to go for cheap defenders and big on mids and forwards?
  • How important is a strong bench? 
  • Why is Ings still an attractive asset?
  • Do you think a downgrade from Bruno to Sancho would be worth it to fit in Lukaku?
  • Can we go without Raphinha for the first 4? 
  • What do you think about the Everton defence and especially Lucas Digne, is he worth £5.5m for the start of the season? 
  • Would you be happy with Sanchez/Bachmann or a 4.5 keeper, or would you stretch to a 5/5.5 keeper?
