The FPL Breakfast Club returns this morning as we prepare for Gameweek  6.

You can watch the show below or on our YouTube channel from 11:15 am.

Joe will be discussing his Wildcard and no doubt still tinkering as we’re on air, while Az explains why he will remain Eden Hazard-less for this weekend at least.

I’ll (Neale) be joining Joe and Az in David’s absence and fretting on whether shipping Benjamin Mendy out is a wise decision.

There will also be some build-up to the lunch-time clash between Fulham and Watford at Craven Cottage.

The team news will emerge at 11:30 am and we’ll take you through the line-ups of both teams as they arrive.

        Salah owner... also (C) Aguero - for me it's because I had more pressing matters this week and don't really know where I would spend the money if I did get rid. (already have Hazard, Mane is too side-ways given upcoming fixtures)

        Also I just think Cardiff is the best fixture in the PL for attacking assets by a decent margin. If it was anyone else I'd be going with Salah

        This doesn't make any sense. They are two separate issues/questions:

        1. Question: Should I own a player? Answer: will they score more points than the alternatives (not in my team) and do they fit into my team structure.

        2. Question: Should I captain a player? Answer: will they score more points than the other players in my team?

        2. F_Ivanovic
          8 years, 26 days ago

          I mean it makes some sense because a significant part of the value in expensive players is as (C) options since their VAPM is typically not as high as some cheaper options.

          It's not so black and white though unless you've just WC because getting Salah out is a decent commitment if you then want to use the funds from him elsewhere.
