On this week's Planet FPL Clash of the Correspondents James is joined by Brentford fan Tom Medd and Chelsea fan Ted Maw to discuss their clubs, the best FPL assets from them and preview the Gameweek 8 encounter between the two. The Bees have impressed so far in their debut Premier League season and find themselves in the top half. Who does Tom believe is the best defensive asset to own in FPL? And what does he make of the front two Bryan Mbuemo and Ivan Toney? Is it viable to invest in both!? Should there be caution with Mathias Jensen and Yoane Wissa potentially about to be integrated into the starting line up and could that mean a change of formation is in the offering? While for Ted's Chelsea it's becoming as difficult to predict their line-up as it is to predict that of title challengers Manchester City. What does Ted make of the Marcos Alonso and Ben Chilwell situation at left wing-back? Does the headache mean it's better to ignore both and if so who are the best defensive Chelsea defensive assets to own? Plus why Romelu Lukaku will be difficult to go without for those who don't own, how far can these two clubs can go respectively this season and if there is any animosity between the two clubs ahead of their first West London Premier League meeting...
