Who's getting the armband from you this week?
2021-02-26 17:50:08 +0000 UTC View Post
Could James yet take a late -4 and make 3 transfers this evening? Does Suj know where he's putting the Triple Captain armband? We discuss our thinking....
More problems for the Rest of The World team, we find out what a Burkinabe is and Suj threatens to kill off the contest.
All the 17 games in DGW26 predicted, plus it's an unprepared Wildacrd for the Differential Team and we pick it live together... does Gareth Bale make the cut?
I saw a graphic last week suggesting Liverpool are the worst defending Champions in Premier League history! ...clearly that's not the case, but it got me thinking about Champions who were beaten and that's the theme for the quiz this week.
20 questions, with 20 correct answers to be had on various reigning Champions who were beaten.
Let us know how you score in the comments or on the #trivia Slack channel but remember no spoilers please!

James welcomes West Brom correspondent Gemma Eno & Everton correspondent Sean Norton discuss the latest at their clubs and their GW26 meeting at The Hawthornes which is the second part of a double Gameweek for both.
For West Brom two encouraging draws since Gemma's last CotC appearance and there is now a sense of positivity albeit a mircale is required to avoid relegation. Sam Johnstone's prospects in the double are discussed and ahe...
We begin by answering the question in the title and ponder if there is anything ethically wrong with footballers playing FPL, and if they're participating and money is being exchanged between players should that lead to a ban from the pitch? After all, isn't that gambling on football...?
We discuss players being banned from having players from their own team, mainstream media catching on to the news, if bots monitoring FPL transfers are leading to team news leaks, is Dean Smith's...
James allows Suj to talk emotionally about Sunday's Planet FPL Derby win, how he felt from start to finish during the game... so he can go full rant once he's done.
Think Rafa Benitez's 'fact' rant, this is the Tot&Ham equivalent...

Do we know what we're doing? No, but also yes, it's complicated! We discuss transfers, the appeal of Danny Ings & Raphinha but why Patrick Bamford is (and for many unfortunately) the common sense captaincy play.
There's, more Rest of the World team comedy as James gets blocked by owning 3 Fulham players (what!?) and that means some unlikely players are considered as part of a -4 while Suj attempts to lock in a chip strategy for his European team.
And it's bench boost time fo...
In this extension of Tuesday's Podcast we review the Burnley-Fulham & Everton-Man City games from last night, we discuss if Fulham can still realistically stay up, why Ola Aina has switched to the left and why again it's Kyle Walker that could influence the minutes of the Man City centre backs.
We talk long range efforts, another captaincy fail for James in Sky, our plans for the Gameweek to come and give, hopefully, some reassuring words on DGW26 even without the fixtures....
Early CotC release for all Patrons...
James welcomes Wolves correspondent Bradley Parker & Leeds correspondent Andy Martin to discuss their clubs and the Friday night DGW25 meeting at Molineux.
We discuss disappointment with Wolves this season, the absence of Jimenez, the potential of Neto, altering formations, pressure on Nuno Santo & if any assets can appeal should Wolves have a double in GW26.
And with Leeds doubling this Gameweek we talk captaincy pot...
James focuses on positive & negatives from Tottenham's defeat at Man City, the problems with Mourinho teams attempting to absorb pressure, the pros & cons of Lamela, Bale's fitness & the importance of Reguilon's imminent return.
Suj discusses what proved to be a routine win against Sheffield United, was it a four or a three at the back and will it last?
We preview the Planet FPL Derby on Sunday, who's confident and who's not?
Plus, we talk next Tottenham...

On this weeks Tot&Ham we talk West Ham being negative at Fulham and why that might have been the case, while there's nothing to get excited about from Tottenham's win against West Brom despite the return of Harry Kane.
There's FPL references, why it's difficult to look beyond City captaincy at the weekend, Stuart Dallas routed to Suj's FPL bench and why James may be stuck benching West Ham players against Sheffield United at the weekend.
There's also a nostalgic flashback ah...
In this early Podcast release for Patrons James welcomes West Bromwich Albion correspondent Gemma Eno & Manchester United correspondent Gary Robinson to talk the latest at their clubs and preview Sunday's GW24 meeting at The Hawthornes.
Does Gemma believe Albion can pull of another great escape? What is the feeling towards Sam Allardyce? Is there anyone worth holding or buying in FPL from The Baggies squad?

James' Rest of the World team goes beyond comedy but it leads to a serious conversation about whether Heung-Min Son should still be captained this week.
Suj knows his captain this week and he's not tired, not tired to the extent that it might be more than just captain...
