Fantasy Island: an FPL podcast
Fantasy Island turns 50! Can Salah reach 400 points...but should we sell him first?
Season 1, Ep. 50
•
Get the party poppers out...it's Fantasy Island's 50th episode!
James and Alex discuss Mo Salah who has already broken his own points record to secure his title of greatest FPL player of all time...and ask whether he can go past 400 points before the end of the season.
The question, though, is do we sell him before he does?
We discuss GW29 and why you might want to wildcard instead of free-hitting while also looking back at our favourite memories from our first 50 episodes.
Thank you to everyone who has listened and followed along the way.
