Game Week 11 gave us plenty of goals (and that beautiful Arouna Koné smile), but there were still some FPL headaches for the Always Cheating hosts.

This international break has been filled with more than just Klopp puns, though 'Kindergarten Klopp' does weigh heavily on our minds. More immediately, FPL managers must wrestle with the striker stats and who exactly will replace Agüero—and then what to do with all of that extra cash-flow? Looking at a long list of injuries and lineup doubts popping up during the break, we recap the international play of some main FPL targets, measure their distance traveled, and then bring it all into focus with a preview of game week 9.

After each jumping about one millions places in the Fantasy Premier League rankings, Brandon and Josh manage to sound ungrateful for Sergio Agüero's record-tying game week. But before recapping a weekend of madness featuring star turns by Pellè, Cabaye, Eriksen, and De Bruyne—among others—the hosts take a few questions from you listeners: Walcott over Alexis? Is team value even valuable? Then it's over to the stats tables for a deep data dive into the large pool of FPL defenders as we consider how to best shore up our back lines.

With Josh's FPL team kinda, sorta saved from the brink, it's Brandon's turn to hit the panic button. Could transfer penalties be the answer?

And what about this West Ham team Brandon keeps hearing so much about? Then it's a look ahead—in our newly patented FPL Optimizer—to game week 8 and how best to prepare your lineup.
