It’s the Euro crew of Jimbo, James Horncastle, Raphael Honigstein, Julien Laurens and Alvaro Romeo in full effect. Drama in Paris as despite PSG’s rip-roaring start to the season, Kylian Mbappe falls out with Neymar over penalty duties and literally stops playing at one point. Lots for Luis Campos to sort out.

On the fifth episode of Correspondent Week Suj & James speak to Arsenal fan Adam Pritchard about The Gunners hopes for the new season and the best FPL assets from The Emirates. Does Gabriel Jesus justify being the highest owned player in the game? Adam's delighted he's signed but not convinced that the ownership numbers are justified. Could the value in Arsenal therefore lie in the midfield spots through the likes of Gabriel Martinelli, Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka? There's talk of Arsenal's investment in Oleksandr Zinchenko and where the 5.0 asset is likely to play during the season, injury concerns in the full-back areas persist, why William Saliba could finally be set for his Arsenal Premier League debut in Gameweek 1 and the brilliant opening set of fixtures that mean it's difficult to overlook Arsenal FPL assets as they bid to get back in the top 4.
