Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for the first gameweek of 2024, to preview this elongated GW21.
Plenty of news to get listeners caught up on, including injury updates on some major FPL hitters, the departure of others to Afcon and the Asian Cup, along with a look ahead to potential blank and double gameweeks on the horizon. As ever, the lads go through the permutations and what impact each could have on your team.
A slim but promising radar heads to the south coast for two mid-range picks, while the fringe has a familiar feel but includes a new Brazilian who may have found his shooting boots.
A rare swim against the tide this gameweek sees the lads refuse to get excited about the return to some degree of fitness for an FPL favourite, while captaincy - and the impact of having your captain feature in the second half of GW21 - is one of several points discussed.
They finish, as ever, with another great round of Who The Heck Is Stat?!
