Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! The lads return refreshed after the international break to preview GW9. After a quick chat about Beckham (the documentary *and* the man), they turn their attention to wildcard strategy and why now may be tempting for many. Their radar is given a refresh, with a few players remaining from GW8, but also plenty of new chat and discussion, including a very appealing under-priced defender and a number of forwards with decent underlying numbers. They swim against a defender who's had several, perhaps unjustified, price rises, before a captaincy discussion concentrated around the two most expensive assets in the game. They end, as ever, with a little game they like to call Who the Heck is Stat?! If you like what you hear, do let the guys know on X (fka Twitter) or Insta @FPL_Lounge and be sure to subscribe so you always get episodes in advance of the Gameweek deadline!
