    Midweek Mayhem | Gameweek 27
    Feb 23 2025
    Tom & Sam are pressed into action earlier than they thought this week, with a set of midweek fixtures meaning we’ve got a Sunday night pod to put together squarely to focus on the fixtures less than 48 hours away! This means a shorter pod (we always say this!), starting with a reflection on the Assistant Manager chip with both of ours now spent. Then, the usual preview elements of the Kneejerk, best transfers and captains and bold claims – bookended by our gameweek updates and plans for the week ahead.

  • Go Cunha/Mateta? | Gameweek 26

    Go Cunha/Mateta? | Gameweek 26
    Feb 18 2025
    In a brief respite from the doubles onslaught, Tom & Sam are back to discuss what the future holds for FPL managers’ transfer strategies as blank gameweek 29 looms large in our thoughts. Do we get funneled into picking from a small, similar pool of players? Or are there any advantages to be had in thinking outside of the box? Plus in our Gameweek 26 preview, Tom gives an analysis of Omar Marmoush's FPL prospects, Assistant Manager last stands, best captains in quite a dreary looking week, bold claims and our teams for the week ahead.

    Panic Stations! | Double Gameweek 25
    Feb 2 2025
    This week, we’ve got an interim Gameweek pod as DGW24 stretches through two sets of vitally important fixtures for FPL managers – the next FA Cup round and the Carabao Cup semi finals. Tom & Sam assess the wreckage after many managers veered suddenly off course due to the Friday chaos grenade that Gameweek 25 was suddenly a double gameweek, and look at how the rest of the calendar now, probably, is shaping up. Plus – the Vanilla Awards for 2024/5! As we head into chip season, we look back at the season thus far and analyse how teams and players have performed in the part of the season prior to everything going wild.

  • The Wood Through The Trees | Gameweek 22

    The Wood Through The Trees | Gameweek 22
    Jan 16 2025
    Following an eventful FA Cup weekend break for the Premier League, FPL came back with a vengeance in midweek. Due to the quick turnaround between Gameweeks, Tom & Sam focus squarely on the preview for the weekend on the show today. On the menu today, we ponder the wisdom of holding a misfiring player who might have good underlying numbers (aka Nico Jackson) versus selling off for an overperforming on (aka Chris Wood), and the usual other features in terms of best transfers and best captains for the weekend ahead, plus update on bold claims.

    Getting Effectively Owned | Gameweek 21
    Jan 7 2025
    The frantic festive period in fantasy football came to an end this weekend with a typically rollercoaster final week. Tom & Sam are back to assess the outcomes and look ahead to the business end of the season in our new Tuesday slot! This time, we zero in on the specter haunting FPL managers week to week: effective ownership. We ask: how does it affect our gameplay at different times, and indeed whether we should pay any attention to it at all? Plus in the Gameweek ahead previews, there’s lots of information to come with cup ties galore before the next Premier League matchday but there’s still the usual roster of the Kneejerk (this week: do we back our horses or chop and change in the edge piece positions?), best transfers, bold claims and, finally, a bit of actual discussion in best captains this time around.
