Simon Bibby joins James to discuss Newcastle's FPL assets with interest very high and the perfect combination of attractive fixtures and some players very nicely priced.
Alexander Isak is a shoo-in, isn't he? There's discussion on the Swedish forward, while fellow attacker Anthony Gordon is also going to be a popular pick, as long as he starts against Southampton in Gameweek 1. He will start; won't he?

Rumours would suggest that the club may be about to make a push to sign Bournemouth's Dominic Solanke, would he be the right fit and how interested should FPL managers have in him if the move happens? And what would it mean for the future of Richarlison?

Clayton and James conclude their week of content looking at clubs where things went wrong by discussing Rushden & Diamonds. A club spawned from two small non-league clubs in the 90s and pushed through the non-league tiers quickly and actually made it to League One before it all unraveled.
But why do they not often get mentioned when discussing clubs who went bust? Is it because their history is limited? Is there something in our psyche because they were a 'new' club?
There's d...

In the early 2010s a club many of us had never heard of, and couldn't pronounce (we still can't!) suddenly caught headlines by splashing cash on both talented and well known footballers and at one stage were paying the highest salary in the World to a footballer.
Yet they won nothing.
Clayton and James discuss Anzhi, who very briefly looked like they might become one of the biggest clubs in the World. A club who played home games in a region so dangerous that the team had to fly i...
