The FPL Banger Podcast

Premium Overload! With hauls for KDB, Salah, Son, Kane and a return for Bruno off the bench (and even a Sterling haul) we assess the best premiums and how many of them we can get without compromising the rest of our teams. To that end, we also consider the best budget enablers at the moment, strategies for dealing with the upcoming fixture pile-up as well as answering listener questions and looking at captaincy for GW12.

After selling SALAH and becoming beneficiaries of a generous double digit haul from Bruno Fernandes, Siva & Sam return to debate whether to get Salah straight back in after his quick recovery, and how to fit Salah in with the Spurs, Man City, Man Utd and Leicester assets - we can’t have them all. They also consider budget forwards, defensive options and debate the best captain this week.
