FPL Podcast from BBC Sport – Should we banish Joao Pedro?

Available for over a year

Alistair Bruce-Ball, Chris Sutton and Statman Dave are joined by comedian Luke Kempner to discuss the big FPL (and Celebrity Traitors) topics of the week. WARNING: Spoilers ahead! Can Ali rekindle his love of FPL? Is it time to sell Joao Pedro and Viktor Gyokeres? Can we finally trust Reece James? Why didnâ€t the faithfuls banish Jonathan Ross last week?

A slightly different Sutton Death sees Chris and Luke go head-to-head on famous football fans and a listener is in disbelief after his son plays an inspired triple-captain.

FPL gameweek six tips: Captain Erling Haaland and go all in on Manchester City

Iliman Ndiaye, Everton, £6.5m – West Ham (h)

Taking on a Hammers defence that has conceded a league-high 13 goals, Ndiaye is, just about, the best option from Everton’s great-value midfield trio.

You might prefer Jack Grealish (£6.8m) after his four assists so far, or budget-friendly Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (£5m), who has taken as many shots as Ndiaye.

But Senegal forward Ndiaye is the biggest goal threat and also on penalties.

Mohammed Kudus, Spurs, £6.6m – Wolves (h)

Like West Ham, Wolves are a team worth targeting and Kudus seems to be the best bet for Spurs from an attacking standpoint, after Xavi Simons was benched last week.

The Ghanaian has four assists so far – the joint most in the league – and has been involved in 40% of Tottenham’s goals.

Morgan Gibbs-White, Nottingham Forest, £7.5m – Sunderland (h)

Forest are a hard team to read this season, with a managerial change already and just one victory.

We were expecting them to be much better and, with Ange Postecoglou taking charge of his first home game, a more attacking Forest side could emerge.

Gibbs-White has taken nine shots in five games and is worth a punt this week.

Sunderland have a top-six defence so far and have been impressive in the first five weeks – will that continue?

Phil Foden, Manchester City, £8m – Burnley (h)

Is Foden back to near his best? The England midfielder was so good in the derby win over Manchester United and has had two league starts in a row.

If you can afford him, why not go for it?

Last season was a bit of a write-off, but we know what he can do – 19 goals and eight assists in the 2023-24 Premier League is proof of his ability.

Antoine Semenyo, Bournemouth, £7.7m – Leeds (a)

No need to lose faith in Semenyo after last week’s blank.

He’s on penalties, takes lots of shots and has been involved in a whopping 83% of Bournemouth’s goals this season.
