Ep 153: Island of Misfits (GW17-19) Dec 17, 2018

Show notes

The current heavy hitters in Kane, Aubameyang, Sterling, Salah, and Sané have all been identified. But GW17 has seen the emergence of a ragtag group of misfits who can hardly be identified by underlying stats or historical FPL returns. What do we make of the likes of Shaqiri, Deulofeu, Rondon, Ings, or Snodgrass? Who has longterm prospects or even just the likelihood of points during the festive period? Plus we have an extensive preview GW18 and GW19 fixtures, including captaincy options and transfer targets. Happy Holidays and Hail Cheaters!

Ep 152: Bull Market (GW16-17) Dec 11, 2018

Show notes

Mo Salah's GW16 hat-trick was either a sweet reward to patient FPL managers or a bitter punishment to those who recently sold him for scrap. The Egyptian's resurgence puts him in the company of other premium attacking assets that we're now frantically trying to fit into our teams: from Kane and Aubameyang to Sterling and Hazard. So how many of these players should we have? And how many can we afford to have? Plus, we take your listener questions in a Q&A lightning round and then preview GW17 captains, cleans sheets, and transfers. Hail Cheaters!

Ep 151: Kill Your Darlings (GW14-16) Dec 02, 2018

Show notes

This past Sunday offered a uniquely thrilling Derby Day, but the FPL results were mixed and now we're left with a major dilemma choosing our premium strikers. We must decide between Agüero, Kane, and Aubameyang, or face major team surgery to fit two of the three. Comparing form and fixtures, who's actually worth the trouble amidst the festive fixtures? Plus, we discuss Liverpool's attack versus its defense, West Ham's brilliant schedule, and the turmoil suddenly surrounding Wolves. The episode finishes with a preview of the midweek GW15 fixtures, as well as GW16, and our thoughts on captaincy options. Hail Cheaters!

Ep 150: Nothing More, Nothing Less (GW13-14) Nov 26, 2018

Show notes

Coming off of this calendar year's final international break, GW13 landed with a bit of a thud. And, with that, the epic festive period is suddenly upon us! We're devoting this episode to five key questions ahead of the holiday fixture glut: Can we rank the Manchester City midfielders? Do we finally trust Spurs attacking assets? Where are the bargain clean sheets? Who are the in-form strikers? And how might we best play the captaincy for the next eight weeks? Plus, we preview GW14 and the exciting Derby Sunday.

Ep 149: Pinball Wizard (Break-GW13) Nov 20, 2018

Show notes

France may have failed to qualify for the UEFA Nations League semifinal, but Frenchmen still dominate this international break's FPL chat: Mendy's injury could mean a sideways move to Laporte, or downgrading to Everton's Lucas Digne. And nervous excitement surrounds Martial as he looks to continue his scoring form this weekend at home to Crystal Palace. We also cover some longer-term strategy questions ahead of the holiday fixture pile-up and discuss when top managers should consider breaking the template. Stay tuned for our GW13 preview with bus teams, captaincy favorites, and standout matches. Hail Cheaters!

Ep 148: A Bigger Six (GW12-Break) Nov 12, 2018

Show notes

First off, in this episode, we recap our scores and the main events from GW12. Second, we focus our attention on the FPL assets from the Premier League's "big six" clubs: Are we going all-out-attack with three Manchester City players? Who's feeling hot, cold, or simply anxious with Mo Salah and/or Hazard? Is anyone still considering a move for Kane in the next few weeks? Have Arsenal officially gone off the boil? And, well, it would seem we always have to talk about Anthony Martial these days. Tune in next week for our full GW13 preview. Hail Cheaters!

Ep 147: The Differential Special (GW11-12) Nov 05, 2018

Show notes

Some transfer choices require more courage than others and can lead to big season-defining differentials. But what does it really mean for an FPL asset to be classed as a differential? Where do we find them? And where in our standard lineups do they fit best? This week's podcast is devoted entirely to those low-ownership, high-upside players, including the likes of Sterling, Martial, Eriksen, Murray, Felipe Anderson, and more. Plus we preview GW12 fixtures, bus teams, and captaincy favorites. Hail Cheaters!

Ep 146: The Kenedy Family (GW10-11) Oct 30, 2018

Show notes

The carnage of GW10 included numerous FPL absentees in Hazard, Robertson, and Arnautovic. But, in their place, players like Ross Barkley and Anthony Martial emerged. Are they for real? Or, if they aren't, who are the other mid-priced midfielders to consider buying, selling, and holding as the current template starts to wobble? We also examine Mitrovic's difficult situation on a team in free-fall, Agüero's managed minutes, and the tricky turning point for Arsenal. Plus, we preview GW11 fixtures and captaincy favorites.

Ep 145: Random Access Memory (GW9-10) Oct 23, 2018

Show notes

As we look to put the excruciatingly average GW9 behind us, it's time for another edition of the FPL world's favorite game: "Buy! Sell! Hold!" Among the biggest players under our microscope this week are the defensive holy trinity of Robertson, Alonso, and Mendy. We consider Klopp's recent rotation and if there's a cheaper way into Liverpool's back line. It's probably time to sell Kane, if you still have him, but are Agüero's managed minutes a reason to also look at dropping the Argentinian striker? Plus, Josh does a pretty good British accent and Brandon throws quite a bit of shade at Fulham before we get into our GW10 preview and captaincy discussion. Hail Cheaters!

Ep 144: London Parts Unknown (GW8-9) Oct 15, 2018

Show notes

Dark forces are at work during this international break, with concerns over a possible Mohamed Salah injury and other mysterious FPL questions emerging. How believable is Arsenal's form and that of Lacazette? Will Kevin de Bruyne's return immediately upend the midfield template? And how far into this season can mid-priced players like Maddison, Mitro, Fraser, and Doherty actually take us? Josh and Brandon also share thoughts on their recent UK trip where they took in four matches in four days, from Stamford Bridge and the Amex to Wembley and Craven Cottage. Finally, there is a quick preview of the GW9 fixtures and captaincy options. Hail Cheaters!
