With 4 hours until the deadline for FPL Gameweek 17 we reveal our plans for the weekend and beyond and for one of us strategy has changed with a Free Hit in Gameweek 18 now likely binned.
Plus, strategy for the Differential team and transfer revealed, Europe vs Rest of the World gets laughable again, at least for James anyway!
And there's predictions for all the GW17 games.

Oh dear, recorded pre announcement of Burnley v Man Utd in BGW18 & Man City v Aston Villa in DGW19 we discussed renewed expectations that the season would continue (which the rearranged fixtures has confirmed) and answer a number of your questions including why Bruno was probably a hold even before the fixture announcements.
We hope you still find this useful.
Happy New Year!

On this Podcast James reveals his laughable attempt at getting a full quota of 15 Rest of the World players on his Wildcard in an attempt to Bench Boost in GW19... it's so bad that Suj claims victory in the Europe vs Rest of the World battle.
The Differential team is also on Wildcard and we attempt to pick a team together, ok I picked a team and Suj either agreed or didn't agree.
Joel Matip gets more mentions on this Podcast than the Sky Pods!

We're looking at one week punts with the wildcard still in hand and ready to be unleashed and there is a wildcard draft revealed... no prizes for guessing it's James' as Suj comes unprepared!
For the Differential team there's a clear defensive move in mind but fear that rotation will strike for the midfield, plus there's thoughts on our Europe vs the Rest of the World battle as James retakes the lead, weekend predictions and why Suj's masterplan is doomed to fail.

There are 20 or 40 correct answers in this quiz depending on how you want to play the quiz and it's all about football families as James gives clues to two individuals who are related.
One point for a correct surname, two if you're brave and think you can get both first names.

As said on last Friday's Differential Show we're giving you the power to decide what we do with our Free Hits in our Europe vs Rest of the World battle.
Last season in our North vs South competition we had to Free Hit into the opposite team to the one we had, Suj had the North team and had to pick only players from the South in his Free Hit.
This season Suj has the European team, when he uses his Free Hit should he keep European players or should he have to ...

Been 3 months since we had a good Jose Mourinho rant, so here we go... how bad was Sunday's defeat to Leicester and why did the defeat Happen? James does tactics on weaknesses, growing creativity concerns and the player that needs to step up and solve the problem for Tottenham.
While Suj warns that West Ham may be heading for the beach and the impact Mark Noble has on those around him when he plays.
Plus, we talk the assets from the clubs likely to be in our wildcard, criticism ...

We reveal our transfer plans for the Gameweek and it appears for me (James) I've landed on a Phil Foden replacement that was not even mentioned on today's featured Podcast.
Suj goes rogue on captaincy, sort of, we discuss 1 week punts, the disaster class of Rest of the World v Europe head to head & for the differential team we focus on ownership numbers before making a transfer decision.

James talks about his disappointment with the draw at Crystal Palace and why the defensive strategy that has worked so well in higher profile games didn't work on Sunday.
West Ham play The Eagles next, the excellent win at Leeds and system change are discussed but there's a warning about the strength of Palace's left-hand side as we preview the game and tonight's meeting of the top 2 where Suj has greater faith than James that Tottenham could win at Anfield.
There's a wide...

Is Ramsdale getting binned finally by Suj?
Is it time for Trent?
Are -4s about to go flying?
James buys the only Rest of the World defender that he can and we laugh hard about captaining Aubameyang for the differential team in GW12 and the focus for a purchase is defensive.
This Podcast comes with a warning to Arsenal fans, probably skip it.

Buy Mo Salah one free transfer, it should be quite straightforward for James this week... but is it?
And is Suj putting his trust in Tottenham for the armband?
We give our predictions for all 10 games, James runs in to more problems with his Rest of the World team and the Differential team debate may cause a stir.
Good luck for the Gameweek Patrons!

And we go on tangents... cos it's just what we do... we talk about winning the FCAs, taking kids to the toilet at football, Covid vaccines & if it's even possible to socially distance at football.
