S5 Ep42: FPL Pod: Newcastle and Brighton...

PREMIER LEAGUE
About this episode
The FPL Pod team look ahead to Double Gameweek 36, with crucial decisions to be made on which Newcastle and Brighton players you could think about bringing into your team. With Gameweeks running out, there’s some big calls to consider: Joelinton or Joe Willock in midfield? Alexander Isak or Callum Wilson (or both) up front? Which Brighton midfielder will get regular minutes?

To help navigate these dilemmas, broadcaster and fellow FPL podcast host Alistair Bruce-Ball joins Kelly Somers and the team to discuss which single Gameweek choices might also pay dividends for managers.
