Sort It Out! | FPL Gameweek 10

Oct 28 2024 92 mins  
After a tumultuous week in FPL – featuring what we’re going to dub a “semi-fail” on Tom’s Haaland TC – and as we head into double figure Gameweek numbers, Tom and Sam chat to try to figure out what’s going wrong this season and how they’re planning to sort it out after a lackluster start to the season! To try to address this, we take a look into the creeping frust

Triple Time | Gameweek 9

Oct 21 2024 89 mins  
As FPL resumes after international break, Tom & Sam reflect on a rather disappointing weekend with a packed show looking forward to next week instead! There’s a few things on the running order this week, with a look at whether we are both hitting the button on triple captaining the Norwegian robot, and then as our main focus a look at the defence in FPL: is it worth just divest

Quad Planning | FPL Gameweek 8

Oct 15 2024 95 mins  
Title: Quad Planning Tom & Sam zoom back in on the detail on FPL, with the next four fixtures before the final international break of 2024 in focus for this week’s episode. Building on what we began with Nick last week, we look at each team’s performance thus far and ask where our interest lies for FPL, and if – and then, how – we’re looking to be moving in and out an

Rules Of Engagement | FPL Gameweek 8 (with Nick!)

Oct 07 2024 90 mins  
Tom & Sam are joined by high-flying former founding co-host Nick to zoom out as we head into the international break. We take time to think about how different levels of engagement in FPL can have their positives and negatives, with Nick enjoying a stellar start to the campaign! We also begin to preview the next block of 4 fixtures in terms of discussing how the key men for the

A Time To Chill | FPL Gameweek 7

Sep 30 2024 71 mins  
Sam & Tom survey the wreckage after a one man wrecking ball in Cole Palmer torpedoed their Wildcard hopes and dreams! We know not everyone was on Wildcard this week, but a discussion on processing bad weeks and how to react – especially if you have just wildcarded – seems apt given the week we’ve had. Are there any bright spots? Is there anything we’d have done differentl

Wildcards Active! | FPL Gameweek 6

Sep 23 2024 106 mins  
Sam & Tom have both pressed the button this week, meaning hot picks and team structure take centre stage. We know not everyone is on wildcard, so to assist everyone – while using our wildcard drafts as the main discussion springboard – we do an audit of FPL key picks from top to bottom (as reasonably as we possibly can!), noting top individuals for managers to consider, whate

Game States | FPL Gameweek 5

Sep 16 2024 74 mins  
Tom & Sam assess the damage after a below par return to FPL action following the international break. We take a look at the current FPL game state, with a heavily – yet, maybe, temporary – templated player set at the moment meaning differential hauls make all the difference. But, with Gameweek 6 wildcards the popular strategy, we ask: how long will this last? And how should we

Decision Making Analysed | Gameweek 4

Sep 09 2024 81 mins  
As FPL slowly emerges from its international break slumber, Tom and Sam take time to dwell on decision making and how things may be altered by the format tweaks this year now we’ve had some time with the game live. We investigate how decision-making processes – satisficing vs maximising in behavioural science – are somewhat shaped by our personalities and where it feeds int

Midfield Mixed Fortunes | Gameweek 3

Aug 26 2024 96 mins  
This week, Tom & Sam zoom in on one troublesome spot in our fantasy teams: the expanded funzone midfield at around 5.0-8.5m. With many unhappy owning the likes of Nkunku and Eze, we wonder who, of any of these guys, is worth investment now or keeping an eye on going forward. There’s the Price Point, where we highlight one bit of eye test info Sam noted this week. And then it’

And We're Off! | Gameweek 2

Aug 19 2024 62 mins  
Sam and Tom are back after the FPL opening weekend to react to the drama as it unfolded. On this week’s pod, a lot of bits and pieces with scant data to report on: - Our GW1 reflections: what changes did we make on the final day, how did we do and what have we learned? - Introducing The Price Point: Sam’s eye test spot for this (and every!)
