Ask James | Wednesday September 23rd | Planet FPL 2026/27
Summary
James hosts a live Q&A session answering Fantasy Premier League questions, focusing on whether to wildcard in Game Week 6 or wait for better fixture swings in Game Week 7. He advises against rushing transfers like selling Cmenio or buying Saka, suggesting instead to hold premium assets and consider a wildcard later to fix team structure. The discussion covers specific player strategies, such as captaincy options, Arsenal defender rotations, and the value of players like Bruno Fernandes and Haaland.
