It's time to deep dive on the defence as we discuss the merits of a formation change.

We ponder over the best Arsenal three and I run through my wild card and for some reason

I let these two critique it. Wish me luck.

Hi guys, Thursday as usual, FPL pod back with you and I'm going to give you an early deadline morning because on occasion, I forget to say the deadline.

It's a Friday night deadline this week.

So make sure you lock in your teams before the 6.30 deadline.

And of course, listen to this podcast multiple times.

Hello again to Sam and Jules.

Busy week for you again, Jules.

Yeah, it was because it was Champions League on Tuesday and Wednesday, which a lot of things happen really. Then we will have the conferencing in the European League as well Thursday night. So tonight as we record the show. So, yeah, it's always good when the European Games are back. It is. It's a nice distraction from your FPL team, Sam. Yeah. Not in the form that spurs way yesterday. I meant for all of us, to be honest. Yeah, I suppose so. I mean, I play Champions League Fantasy as well. So all the fantasy games, I know, exactly. My Champions League Fantasy team isn't going so well either. But it does give me an opportunity to own Harry Kane again,

which is always nice. So there we are. Before we go any further and discuss our FPL teams, go on Jules. Tell us what we need to know. Yeah. So as I said, a lot of things happen, especially with the, you know, obviously with the English team. Let's start with with Arsenal. We had a big win, 4-0-win against Athletic Ombudsman on Tuesday night.

I think of Karek, Karek, finally, scored two goals after nine games in the competitions

without a good. with Arsenal, who had a big win, 4-0 win against Athletic Commodgion on Tuesday night. He could have a carers.

Finally, he scored two goals after nine games in the competitions without a goal. Is this to start, Charles? Is this the start for Yoccarus? Sorry to interrupt. It could be. Yeah, no, no, you're right. It could be. Absolutely. I think there's a feeling that even if he does a lot of other things good for this team, you know, physically the way he occupies

the defense and things like that, he's the number nine that needs to score, you know, goals.

So nine games is a long time without a goal in all competitions, but to have two, the way

he did in a very good performance for Arsenal, especially in the second half, I think was a big

boost for him and for the whole

team. We saw Gabriel being again, I was standing on set pieces to go back to our debate,

should we go for Timber or Calafiori or Saliba? What Arsenal defender,

Gabriel is showing since we've had that debate, that is really, really difficult not to own,

really because, again, a golden and assist on set pieces for him. That would have been a lot of points in your FPL if that had been in the league. So, good night for Arsenal, a good night for Manchester City, pretty easy away at Villa Real with another goal for Elling Island and one for Barnardo Silva. We saw Johnstone's being back and doing well. Mark Guiyu's call, which tells you a lot about how bad Ajax are this season
