Picking a team with both Mo Salah and Erling Haaland that doesnβt destroy the rest of your squad is proving a challenge. So Kelly Somers and the FPL Pod team discuss their approach to the dilemma
They chat through going without the Man City forward, if we should avoid attacking players who featured at the Club World Cup, and pick out the best players from each position.

Following last weekβs question about premiums, Iβve locked in Salah and Isak as my go-to options.
Todayβs question:
Do I try to squeeze in Haaland, or go for someone like Delap or Watkins instead? π€
For extra 0.5β¦semenyo is so much better
Do you ever think that the epl soccer players and other professionel soccer players get tired of the additions on their contract that are without their authorization because someone else possibly their managers have power of attorney, as well as the owners of the club that tell them to play a certain soccer style rather than their own.
these days post covid, interviews and podcasts can be done anywhere, from home office, hotels or laundry rooms lol.
28:44 that is a 50% difference
Andingra will have a sensational season.
What yall think about this team sels aina gvardiol guehi salah palmer iwobi rogers wood watkins bowen
Anyone with fpl code?
Grasshoppers 1 – West Ham 3
Ipswich 0 – West Ham 2 (closed door match)
Man United 2 – West Ham 1
West Ham 2 – Everton 1
Bournemouth 0 – West Ham 2
No no your right were doing crap we lost one game all pre season so far π
I totally agree with Kelly , the drafts are getn confusing the nearer we're we getting there
zero talk on Raya, why??
I love how everyone totally overthinks the beginning of the season and it always blows up in your face no matter if youβve spent weeks perp or a last minute team π
Nice pod guys I was wondering Sam bonfield if you want to go for a drink sometime your absolutely beautiful β€οΈ
Guys would you pick Salah and Evanilson or Haaland and Gakpo?
I come from the future Sam, and Solanke and Spurs didn't play well at all against Bayern π
I dont think Caicedo will be bringing in much defensive points. Id rather get Mainoo for that
The teams in world cup was training Last season we also had a lot of players with a small break before start of the season… They have played club friendlies already
Glad to see the fun and lightness return as the pod went on. It's a game after all so might as well enjoy π
Did he just say Trafford will start for City?
Insightful as always. Hume, Jaidon and Piroe need some shout-out as they are proven assets from the championship. Arsenal fixtures are scary to double on them but I've done just that but it might change
The goated trio is back ππ
I am going to win this fantasy league.
It is exhausting…. I've changed my team atleast 15 times already…So Pickford -Dubravka / Boly-Tuanzebe-Moreno-Lima -Gudmunson / Salah-Palmer-Wirtz-Kluivert-Gibbs white / Solanke-Ekitike-Raul. I think this is my starting team , but it might not be.
Sam, I am worried that there is no creativity in the middle of the park for Spurs now that madis is injured.
I don't get all this indecision. I picked my team on day 1 and have still to make a change. Won't be changing unless there's injury news
Love Jules logic on Liverpool defenders, I agree with you Jules…..not so much on including anyone who has ever been to Paris π
Fantasy Premier League is backkk can't wait for this season π
Not sure why Jules think Trafford is nailed on. While Ederson and Ortega are still on the books, he's 3rd choice
… And there's been no movement on those potential transfers so far
My name is Jeff
All about that bench boost for me!
Last season I agreed with my mates that nobody gets Haaland. Makes it more fun
Tylko Chelsea πβ€οΈπβ€οΈ
Nice to meet you all again today
Yes I can
This is so exciting. The league first game is right around the corner and itβs gonna be fun to watch as the summer transfer window was absolutely booming.
Pls heart my comment π¬
I love the premier league β€
