The FPL General is here with his last podcast of 2021 ahead of the New Year's Day fixtures. The New Year also brings with it the ability to play your second wildcard and the General has his thoughts on whether you should play it straight away, plus these questions answered:

Is it worth planning or still live gameweek by gameweek?

 With the Ben Crellin's predictions looking a little underwhelming for DGW22, should our plan be to use transfers to prepare? Or attack it with wildcards and free hits?

 Is it risky to wildcard in GW21 for a Bench Boost in Gameweek 22 with all the postponements at the moment?

If you are on a wildcard for gw21, what are some key players that are must haves?


 What do we do with Bernardo Silva?

 Replacements for Reece James?

 Goalkeeper strategy? It’s time to move on from Ramsdale, right? De Gea or Lloris? Should we have 2 playing goalies?

 Is it worth a hit to upgrade to Son from Gallagher if we are planning on downgrading James?

 Is now a good time to ship off Smith-Rowe?

 Is the Ronaldo and Kane double up on, if you want to differentiate from going away from Son with the latter due to his high ownership?
