Suj and James take a deep dive into the fixture schedule in the first half of the season looking at opportunities to buy and sell FPL assets where fixture swings occur... and spoiler in many cases it's difficult to find these so-called swings.

Clayton and James discuss what we know so far as we await the imminent official launch of Fantasy Premier League 2024/25. Many player prices are already known; what's the thoughts on Erling Haaland being priced at £15.0m? It's the highest ever price for an FPL asset. Cole Palmer has been given the highest ever increase in price coming in at 10.5 but will remain a popular option. There's a run through of the player prices known so far, running from the premiums down to the budget enablers,...

Suj and James reflect on last night's European Championship Final that ended in a deserved triumph for Spain and defeat for England. The inquest now begins for England after the 'reality check' of being beaten by a team that was more incisive, kept the ball better and had more tactical flexibility.

There's tactical detail on both last night's victors and if others should fear them later in the...

Clayton and James discuss Monday at The Euros as favourites France and Portugal made it through to the quarter finals and despite the two games not being thrillers there's lots to unpack ahead of the meeting between the two on Friday evening. There's detail on an intriguing tactical battle as France saw off Belgium but The French aren't inspiring, from their 3 goals scored at the tournament two have been own goals and the other penalty. And Portugal aren't inspiring either, they were taken to...

England are Taking The Mikautadze. First they land on the softer side of the draw avoiding France, Germany, Portugal and Spain and then yesterday the Belgians decided they didn't want to be there either and with England left with the potential of The Netherlands or Slovakia in the last 16, Georgia's stunning victory against a heavily rotated Portugal meant another 'so-called' easier tie for The Three Lions. It couldn't hardly have landed better for England to have a real go at reaching...
