England are almost there as we give Gareth credit for getting a tune out of players who aren’t performing for their clubs.

Jimbo, James Horncastle, Raphael Honigstein, Julien Laurens and Alvaro Romeo look back on a weekend across Europe headlined by new gaffers and late drama. Barcelona celebrate the appointment of Xavi by throwing away a three-goal lead against Celta Vigo. And champions Atletico draw 3-3 as well. Is this the worst group of defenders Simeone has ever had to work with? Meanwhile Real Sociedad stay top with their manager insisting former Newcastle man Mikel Merino is the best player in La Liga. The best player in the Bundesliga right now – outside of Munich – might be Christopher Nkunku who propels Leipzig to a huge win over Dortmund. It’s honours even in the Milan derby but former Milan man Andriy Shevchenko is making his first steps into club management….at Genoa. Plus it’s a good weekend in France for Lens and Rennes, while Claude Puel’s Saint-Etienne finally secure their first win of the season.

On this week's Planet FPL Clash of the Correspondents James is joined by Liverpool fan Dan Lord and Brighton fan Sam Murray to discuss all the latest at their clubs, the FPL assets within them and preview Saturday's Gameweek 10 meeting at Anfield. Liverpool are purring having beaten rivals Manchester United 5-0 on Sunday and are very much in the title race, with Mo Salah looking a perma captain option in the forthcoming weeks there's focus on the rest of the team, with the prospects of Ibrahima Konate, Diogo Jota and Sadio Mane all discussed. Brighton have made a good start too but did Manchester City's 4-1 win at The Amex give reason for concern? Defensive assets feature prominently and with good fixtures to come following the trip to Anfield there's discussion on who may be best to invest in and if the Shane Duffy dream is over.
