Sonaldo and Pras address some of the burning issues ahead of the next Fantasy Premier League (FPL) deadline.
The pair pick out the best players for each team that could potentially double in Gameweek 22 and answer some questions from the FPL community.

Expectation: "Don't worry, folks, everything will go back to normal next year."
Reality: Phil Jones starts for Man United.
Phil Jones and Ronaldo, wow ... sir Alex back?
Convinced that the hadron collider smashed us into looney land universe
In next week's episode, we'll have Patrick Evra licking a raw chicken in the West stand at Old Trafford.
Would rather drop Ronaldo than Fernandes.
Fernandes is 27 and has some good years left in him.
Ronaldo is 36 (almost 37) and his best years are behind him.
Signing Ronaldo was the issue, massive panic.
Problem with re-recruiting a superstar ...
Winning team, and all that. The attackers played too well in the last one
Sorry but this is nonsense. Bruno has been well and truly crap this season and it was about the time to drop him. Decision has nothing to do with Ronaldo, irrelevant. At least he is still scoring goals.
By the same process why does anyone start for United?
How are you expecting him to field a team then? He has to find ways to get back to winning days and have a consistency. One way to do is drop the players whom are underperforming and you gotta start from somewhere.
Who hasnt underperformed?
Phil Jones
😀
Deserves a start
DDG
Simple:
De Gea
AWB Varane Maguire Shaw
McTominay Fred
Sancho Fernandes Rashford
Cavani
Henderson
Dalot Lindelof Bailly Telles
Matic Pogba
Diallo VDB Martial
Greenwood
I'll let you have De Gea, McTom and Cavani.
Bruno and Rashford should be nowhere near to starting line up
Bruno was good until Ronaldo came into the team.
Have you forgotten his hat-trick vs Leeds already?
So it’s all Ronaldo’s fault? If you watched it closely, you’d see Bruno is far from his best, has nothing to do with Ronaldo imo
Ronaldo disturbs the 'teamwork' element of the team.
A team = quality of individuals + teamwork. Man Utd had an overall better team without Ronaldo. The quality of individuals was lower, but was more than made up for by the teamwork.
How is Ronaldo disturbing the teamwork element?
Or is it actually some players not being up to standards and playing really crap this season? It’s all about taking accountability rather than blaming arguably the best player in history of football.
Doesn't press. Does what he wants. Moans a lot and points the finger. A leader who leads by bad example.
Have you seen Ronaldo pressing in his entire career? He is understandably frustrated to play amongst average bunch player. Make no mistake, he should be stop moaning and have a better body language too. But he is a human after all and has higher standards.
Had almost forgotten that Phil Jones played for Man Utd
Its great to have the tweets back
Don't think i've ever seen Jones have a bad game
It's either 2 or 7 minutes to the new article, I guess
Phil Jones has started a Premier League game this season before Donny van de Beek
Shame Dalot's not an option any more
Definitely, I loved seeing him in other people’s teams
It's the same thing with the Portuguese National team, Bruno cannot thrive within this system where the only concern is to feed one player. Even Bernardo and Jota are way bellow the level they show in the PL. I don't know if it's a tactical issue, a mental issue, something else, but clearly something does not work well
Instead of deriding Phil Jones, people need to look into his injury problems. He's had a nightmare of a time and I'm really happy he's still actually able to walk on to a football pitch.
I’ve not seen too many people deriding him (with the exception of Rio Ferdinand who came out and apologised since) - it’s almost like he’s just forgotten mostly which is understandable I think. Do agree with you though. He’s been massively unfortunate and should be shown kindness.
I completely agree. He's had his moments on the pitch for sure but being out for that long is horrendous, delighted for him to get a moment like this
This is all set up for a Phil Jones goal. Not sure which net but it’s happening 😆
Which English player holds the record for most Premier League games but without an England cap?
Kevin Nolan
no
Google said English, I take no responsibility
Google said Kevin Nolan*
In a 2016 article
Mark Bright
no
Arteta
Steve Bruce ?
no
Josh King
He’s a Norwegian
Oh, we caught a big fish here
Mark Noble
This seems correct. I'm shocked he's never been capped.
Probably a goalie. Although England hasn't had a genuinely world class goalie in decades.
David Seaman
I don't think David Seaman was a world class goalie. And even if he was, it qualifies as decades ago at this point.
Yeah, I think he was very good but you’re right about ‘world class’ and about it qualifying as decades ago now actually - I’m getting old!
Was it the 2002 world cup where Brazil rained goals into the top corner of Seaman's net?
Didn't Gary Lineker say England were beaten by the only player who can eat an apple through a tennis racket?
Ronaldinho.
Yeah, I think so - he wasn’t really at his best at that point anymore though.
Steve Watson?
no
Great career with a Lancashire team.
*Horwich
Fashanu?
Southampton player?
Chris Sutton
Kevin Nolan?
Dial up?
Tony Coton
He could be but it's for the Premier League.
* games or goals?
444 and 88 goals
Kevin Davies was capped in 2010. Its Mark Noble
wow.My mistake then.
Know your facts lad
Still isnt Kevin Nolan
sorry La Roja
Matt Le Tissier.
Steve Bruce??
no
no - must predate PL
Teammate with Matthew Taylor..
See above
A Burnley player?
GINKAPO FPL is right.I thought that it was Kevin Davies but he was capped in 2010.
That was the best non quiz of 2022!!
Phil Jones has seen more injuries than a hospital.
New article
I concur
Did that Marcal "shot" count as a save for De Gea?
Just watch this for the first time. Great video. Love the blend of stats and eye test commentary. Great chemistry between the two presenters too.
