Our Manchester United correspondent Gary Robinson (@ismyCAPplaying) provides the questions for the quiz this week and that means James is on the answers!
For each question the year of a players's Premier League debut, the year of his final Premier League appearance and the total number of Premier League Appearances, goals & assists are given. Simply name the player... but we realise this is a bit hard so a club played for is added for each question!
Let us know in the co...

Harry Kane is staying at Tottenham, at least for another year, so what is the impact now on Kane and the club? Will he go on to break Tottenham's goalscoring record or will he simply depart next summer instead? And what does it mean for Kane and his teammates in the immediate?
Is Adama Traore on his way to join Kane and Heung-Min Son at The Lane and what are the pros and cons if the Spanish speedster joins?
Were there clues in last week's Europa Conference League 1st l...

We look back on the career of one of the greatest goalscorers of all time, the legendary German forward Gerd Muller, who scored more than a goal a game for West Germany and helped take Bayern Munich from obscurity to three consecutive European Cups.
But why is it that despite incredible scoring achievements he is often overlooked when it comes to discussions about who the World's greatest ever forward is?
Are there any modern players even comparable to Muller?

We attempt to pick a dead team (or zombie as Suj would prefer to call it!) for the season. A team that is left literally untouched for the whole season. Could it get into the top 1 million?
Mo Salah is the obvious captain choice... or is he...? Could it really be No Salah?
Are there players we fancy to do very well through the season that we wouldn't actually buy in GW1?
How important would a bench be for a dead team?

How far ahead should we plan captaincy in FPL?
We look at the best options as it stands in the opening 6 Gameweeks and debate when to take a chance and when not to. One week stands out more than others as a week to take a punt.
What's the potential damage of going without Mo Salah in GW1? Can those going without Bruno Fernandes still navigate through GW4 without him or is there an obvious hop on hop off strategy to cover their fixture with Newcastle?
