Newcastle v Brentford | CotC with Simon Bibby & Tom Medd | Planet FPL 2023/24

63 min • 14 september 2023

James is joined by Newcastle fan Simon Bibby and Brentford fan Tom Medd to discuss the latest at their clubs, the all important FPL assets at them and preview the Saturday evening meeting at St James's Park.

3 defeats on the bounce for Newcastle have caused alarm, but have the performances been more concerning?

The Bees are unbeaten, but also drawn all 3 home games. Should they be pleased with their start?

Plus, many FPL managers, have had 'Gameweek 5 - Newcastle' ringed since pre-season. Is it time to invest? Is Trippier worth 2 million more than Botman? Will Isak or Wilson see enough minutes to feel good about buying?

And who's the best defensive Brentford asset? How quickly should non-owners invest in Mbeumo? Should Wissa owners be concerned?
