Newcastle United with Simon Bibby | Correspondent Week ep. 18 | Planet FPL 2026/27
Planet FPL - The Fantasy Football PodcastShow Notes
It was a late summer of change for Newcastle with Eddie Howe stepping down after pre season had already begun, with Matthias Jaissle the replacement.
Simon Bibby joins James to discuss what we should expect next under Jaissle and why despite the loss of several key players and concerns about what's to come, there may still be FPL gems we want to keep in mind.
There's a new no.1, Lewis Hall and Malick Thiaw will want monitoring for different reasons, there are three 6.0 forwards to consider and the standout might not be who was expected, and there's some midfielders at cheap prices who may do well.
But additions are also definitely required!
