FPL Pod: Sell or hold João Pedro?
2026/10/29
Kelly, Juls and Sam pick through the wreckage of Gameweek 8 and round up the EFL Cup action, before tackling the big question of the week: with João Pedro out injured, do you sell or hold? And if you’re selling, is it Nicolas Jackson, Isak or Evanilson who replaces him?
Sam has an eye-watering £7.2m in the bank (!) so the team ask whether premiums are worth the money in such a strange season... and whether now is the moment for a Free Hit or Wildcard. Plus: differentials of the week, and the GW9 captaincy call... is it Haaland again, or a Villa alternative?
