On Clash of the Correspondents James is joined by Manchester City fan Jonny Pringle and Newcastle fan Simon Bibby to discuss the latest at their clubs and the FPL assets within them ahead of Saturday's meeting at The Etihad. City assets will be popular once we get to Blank Gameweek 29 and they have great fixtures then until the end of the season. There's discussion on Erling Haaland, Phil Foden, Oscar Marmoush, Josko Gavrdiol and others. While for Newcastle the opposite is true, a tough run of fixtures begins now and they will almost certainly blank in Gameweek 29. Could Alexander Isak be a sacrifice on route? Could those that keep even consider benching this week!? There's also chat on Lewis Hall and with Anthony Gordon, yellow flagged, should be sold by Fantasy managers. And he's not the only Newcastle player flagged. Plus, thoughts on City's Champions League tie with Real Madrid, if the reigning League Champions can rediscover their best and Newcastle have a Carabao Cup Final to look forward to against Liverpool.

On the second Clash of the Correspondents ahead of Blank Gameweek 28 James is joined by Aston Villa fan Neil Grover and Bournemouth fan Neil Grover to preview the weekend meeting at Villa Park, all the latest at their clubs and the FPL assets of interest with both clubs playing in the Blank and having a double Gameweek in 29. Villa will appeal particularly this week, should Ollie Watkins be a shoo-in for FPL managers? Whose the best of the Villa defenders to target? (we find out it's complicated!) and what about the prospects for Leon Bailey and Emi Buendia? While Bournemouth shouldn't be overlooked neccessarily either, Philip Billing is on a fine run of form and there's a strong case made for Neto, Dango Outtara and Dominic Solanke who could all offer solutions, particularly for those looking to Bench Boost in GW29. Plus, can Villa make a late run for a European spot and Bournemouth will believe with their remaining fixtures (they only play one of the top 8 between now and the end of the season) that they can prove the doubters wrong and beat the drop...

On this week's Planet FPL Clash of the Correspondents Podcast James is joined by Tottenham fan Ricky Saunders and Newcastle fan Simon Bibby to discuss all the latest at their clubs, and the all important FPL assets within them ahead of their Gameweek 31 meeting at White Hart Lane. Can Tottenham maintain their challenge for a top four finish after impressive victories against Brighton and West Ham? Can Newcastle make a late challenge for a top half finish with their top flight status now looking secure? And there's discussion on the FPL assets that matter including the possibility of going treble Tottenham offence with Dejan Kulusevski added to Heung-Min Son and Harry Kane, though for many it'll have to be just the one of Son or Kane. Which Tottenham defensive asset is best or should they be avoided? And Newcastle have a very attractive Double Gameweek 33 upcoming and there's certainly a case of trebling up for those on a Free Hit that week. But which three would it be best to get...?
