🧠Pep’s Tactical Twist: Is Aït-Nouri the New FPL Cheat Code?
The 2025/26 Premier League season is set to bring a tactical shake-up — but which systems will dominate, and which players will thrive in FPL because of them?
With Jon Mackenzie (of The Athletic fame) we explore emerging tactical trends like wide fullbacks such as Rayan Ait-Nouri, and evolving pressing structures under managers like Pep Guardiola, Arne Slot, and Enzo Maresca. Who benefits from these shifts — Aït-Nouri, Marmoush, Haaland? Does Liverpool’s summer rebuild hint at a new shape?
We also tackle one of the big questions: how much does pre-season actually matter for what we see in GW1? Whether you’re here for tactical analysis or FPL edge — this one’s packed with insight.
Oh....and is Draft the new go to format?
