Duncan, Matt and Gary meet up to talk all things Leicester as they run riot at Newcastle, Calvert Lewin’s goal poaching from his own teammate and the new Arsenal captain is revealed to the fans’ horror. Matt savours Sterling’s last gasp saviour of his gameweek, Duncan extols the virtues of a double Liverpool defence and Gary waxes lyrical on Söyüncü before they look over the fixtures and FPL opportunities for GW8.

Andy and Gary join Duncan to talk Rojo’s rabonas, Kevin’s masterclass and how even when winning Arsenal can frustrate. Gary’s wildcard is revealed and he’s gone back to his maverick ways with no liverpool players among many off template picks. Can Norwich do it away from home? Which Spurs will turn up in GW7? Who will be the lowest of the low out of Wolves and Watford? There’s an unexpected team predicted to dish out a whipping and one fixture in particular where clean sheets look likely.  The FFFanatics hit the wildcard button in their hive mind team and debate the key players to decide from. Gary extends his huge lead in the gut punts league and one of the pod squad has less returns from six weeks of punting than Gary does in one week. Want to compete against the FFFanatics?
