This week, Tom & Sam zoom in on one troublesome spot in our fantasy teams: the expanded funzone midfield at around 5.0-8.5m. With many unhappy owning the likes of Nkunku and Eze, we wonder who, of any of these guys, is worth investment now or keeping an eye on going forward. There’s the Price Point, where we highlight one bit of eye test info Sam noted this week. And then it’s the Gameweek 3 preview. In the kneejerk, it’s wildcard discussion: lots were popped yesterday, so what do we think of that and what should they look like? Plus our own kneejerks, where one transfer may have already been made… As usual we finish with best transfers and captains and bold claims. We hope you enjoyed the show!

Double gameweek 35 is mostly in the books, and FPL – at least in the engaged end – seems to have taken that Buzz Lightyear meme where there’s hundreds of clones on a shelf to heart, while players are dropping like flies and many manager’s teams are redolent of the walking wounded. Today, we investigate whether there are in fact any edges left open to us for the final 3 gameweeks of the season, or is it a case of just accepting your lot. Plus the Gameweek 36 preview, including best transfers in (especially if, like Sam, your team is echoing those walking wounded!) and captaincy.
