In the final double gameweek of the season, the FPL Pod hosts Sam, Jules, and Kelly dive into critical transfer decisions ahead of the last few fixtures. With Manchester City and Crystal Palace both playing twice, the discussion centers on whether to invest in City's midfielders—particularly Doku, Cherki, and Semenyo—given their recent form and value. While Haaland remains a must-have captain, the hosts debate the viability of Palace assets due to rotation concerns and uncertain fixtures. The consensus leans heavily toward Arsenal’s attacking trio, especially Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus, as high-upside, low-ownership options with strong upcoming fixtures. The hosts emphasize prioritizing Arsenal’s double-up over risky Palace gambles, especially with limited free transfers. They also highlight Brighton’s favorable fixtures and the potential of differential picks like Conor Gallagher and Saka. The episode closes with a reminder to use the bench boost and a preview of upcoming content, including the Fantasy Show and live coverage of key fixtures.
Prioritize Arsenal’s attack—Saka and Jesus—for high-upside, low-ownership returns in the final weeks.

Doku offers the best value among City midfielders, with strong form and low ownership.
Use the bench boost now rather than saving it, especially if your bench is weak.
Brighton’s upcoming fixtures (Wolves, Leeds, United) make their players strong short-term options.

“I think if I didn't have a Manchester City midfielder and I was planning to take a bit of a punt, I would look at Doku this week because I just think he's a really nice differential.”
Crystal Palace: High Risk, Low Reward
“I don't think he makes much sense. But even if you're chasing, Jules, like there are some single game wicket teams out there with massive differentials in them that have got great fixtures this week.”
Arsenal Attack: The Smart Bet for Final Weeks
“I would absolutely prioritise getting Saka and Jokeres over getting anybody from Crystal Palace or any other single game we could, to be honest.”
Single Game Weekers: Brighton, Bournemouth, and Others
The discussion shifts to high-potential single-game-week players, with Brighton’s defenders and midfielders praised for favorable fixtures. Bournemouth’s form and Europa League hopes make them a strong option.
“I would absolutely prioritise getting Saka and Jokeres over getting anybody from Crystal Palace or any other single game we could, to be honest.”
“He's literally owned by his mum and dad, and he's, I guess, brothers and sisters, cousins, auntie, because it's literally 0.1% of the game, which is nobody really.”
“I think if I didn't have a Manchester City midfielder and I was planning to take a bit of a punt, I would look at Doku this week because I just think he's a really nice differential.”
