The latest BBC Sport FPL podcast, hosted by Alistair Bruce-Ball and Statman Dave, previews the season's final gameweek with a major storyline: Chris Sutton is on the brink of a historic FPL treble. They are joined by closest rival Ewan Sturrock to dissect the high-stakes decisions facing managers. The discussion immediately centers on whether Arsenal's assets will be rested and which relegation-threatened clubs offer the best value.

Key tactical debates include targeting Tottenham and West Ham players due to survival pressure, while avoiding potential rotation candidates. A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to the controversial topic of using early team leaks. The hosts and a listener present research suggesting this practice creates an unfair advantage, sparking a broader conversation about integrity within the game.

The episode, titled 'Sutton Death' in reference to Pep Guardiola's influence on the title race, also features listener analysis. With the final fixtures set for Sunday 24th May, including Tottenham v Everton and West Ham v Leeds, the pod provides last-minute strategy. The FPL treble chase clearly dominates the narrative as the community heads into the decisive weekend.
