The FPL punishments continue… and this one might be the worst yet 🤢

After finishing last, Phil is forced to drink an entire jar of extra-strong pickle juice before the shows end. Dave gives his top 3 FPL defender picks, and then we dive into the main debate of the episode:

Where does Gabriel rank among the greatest attacking center backs of all time?

We compare his output, impact, and importance to some of the best offensive CBs the game has ever seen and discuss whether his current form puts him in elite company.

In this episode:

⚡ Gabriel vs the best attacking CBs in history
