The Championship Champions are next up on Correspondent Week and the expectation is The Clarets are strongest of the three promoted teams. Jack Toner joins James discuss Vincent Kompany, total football and an overview of the squad and the FPL assets at Turf Moor. The Blank Gameweek 2 doesn’t help when trying to select Burnley players for FPL but there are some enablers who definitely deserve consideration. That includes a number of 4.0 defenders, in fact Jack details that as many as three could well start the opener against Manchester City. Jordan Beyer is comfortably the most owned, is he the best choice? Who’s likely to start up front? Could Wout Weghorst be reintegrated into the team? Plus players to watch, likely starting eleven, why further investment is both needed and expected and a tactical discussion suggests Burnley might on occasion play a back five.

Tom Medd joins James to talk all things Brentford and with an attractive set of opening fixtures there’s plenty to be excited about and attacking assets particularly appeal, but who can step up and reward FPL managers in the Absence of the suspended Ivan Toney? Intriguingly, the players of interest offensively are all at different price points, with Bryan Mbuemo at 6.5, Yoane Wissa at 6.0, Kevin Schade at 5.5 and as discovered on the Podcast Keane Lewis-Potter shouldn’t be discounted at 5.0 either. But interest remains in investing in another forward; so how much should that play on the minds of FPL managers? Will new signing Mark Flekken start in goal, with with David Raya likely to depart? But importantly, is he actually any good? Pre-season performances have caused concern, so would it be better to invest in a defender? And the Podcast begins with discussion on Toney’s suspension.

In the last episode of our Euro 88 special, Martyn, Gary and Rob are joined by Jonathan O’Brien to discuss the final in Munich and the tournament as a whole. They look at whether the suspended Oleg Kuznetsov would have changed the game, why we remember the Netherlands so fondly and whether a goal as extraordinary as Marco van Basten’s can create the illusion of inevitability.

Both Euro 88 semi-finals were intriguing culture clashes. The first match, in Hamburg, was loaded with historical significance. West Germany v Netherlands evoked the 1974 World Cup final and even the second world war. A good (if slightly overrated) match had a savage late twist that went straight into European Championship folklore. USSR v Italy did not have the same mutual enmity, but they were also a study in contrasts. The Soviet Union were experienced and streetwise, Italy young and upbeat. They met on a dank, moody night in Stuttgart. Martyn, Mike and Rob are joined by Jonathan O’Brien – author of the superb Euro Summits, a history of the European Championship – to discuss both games and give some love to a slightly forgotten great: Andreas Brehme.

By the final round of group games, Euro 88 was effectively a six-team tournament. Denmark and England were already eliminated and barely had any pride left to play for. Group A was concluded with simultaneous games on Friday night, just a week – and a lifetime – after the tournament had begun. The hosts West Germany played Spain in Munich, with the likelihood that the semi-finals wouldn’t be big enough for the both of them. West Germany needed a draw, Spain a win. Italy, who many felt had been the best team in the tournament to date, needed only a draw against Denmark to guarantee qualification. Group B was settled the following afternoon, with the BBC deciding to show Republic of Ireland’s decisive match against the Netherlands instead of England v USSR. Assuming a collectively depressed England side didn’t win that game (spoiler alert…), Ireland knew they would reach the semis with a draw. The Netherlands had no such luxury; if they didn’t win, they were almost certainly going home. Martyn, Gary and Rob chat about all four games… and Bryan Robson taking our his frustrations on Peter Shilton’s chin. Oh, and Rob’s dog Margot makes an unscripted appearance.

Euro 88 was only four days old when the second of group games began, but our old friend jeopardy was already running amok. After a nervous start, the hosts West Germany took on an ailing Denmark in Gelsenkirchen. A few hours later, also in Group A, Italy met Spain in what was felt like a de facto quarter-final. Then, on Wednesday afternoon, we rushed home from school (or, in Gary’s case, grabbed a seat in front of a 15-inch TV with a load of fashionistas) for the big one: England v the Netherlands, a match that both teams could barely afford to draw, never mind lose. In the evening, Ireland produced arguably the finest performance of the Jack Charlton years against the USSR in a game that included a famous goal and a forgotten first touch to die for. Martyn, Gary and Rob rave about a teenage Paolo Maldini, discuss English football’s obsession with individual heroism, question an iconic hat-trick and celebrate a partnership from the future: Ruud Gullit and Marco van Basten.
