Ep 131: FPL Site Goes Live (2018-19 Preview) Jul 06, 2018

Show notes

The updated Fantasy Premier League site has officially (and suddenly) launched, so Josh and Brandon jump onto this emergency pod with their first impressions of the new player pricing and dynamics of the 2018-19 season. Who's too expensive? Who's undervalued? Who's position has been reclassified? Who's straight into our FPL lineups? And who's in danger missing the first few weeks of the season due to World Cup obligations? We're tackling these questions, and a few others, as sent in by you, the Always Cheating listener. Thanks for tuning in and please subscribe and keep and eye out for many more in-depth previews in the coming weeks. Hail Cheaters!

The World Cup is pretty great, right? Josh and Brandon highlight their favorite players and team performances from Round 1 of Russia 2018 and consider who might be fun to see playing in the Premier League next season. We also chat briefly about what we like or dislike about FIFA's approach to fantasy football gaming (click the link below to join our FIFA league) and how it might translate to FPL.

Ep 126: Tell It Like It Is (2017/18 Season Recap) May 16, 2018

Show notes

One of the most confounding FPL seasons in modern memory is now behind us. With the help of our listeners, Josh and Brandon discuss what important lessons were learned during the last 38 weeks, and how managers can apply those lessons next year. We're also debating the much-maligned bonus point system, evaluating the rules surrounding chips and wildcards, and suggesting other changes that might improve the FPL site or just make the game more fun.
Before we head off for a quick little break from podding, thanks to everyone for a tremendous season - we are truly indebted to to the generous spirit of the FPL community. We'll be back next month for some World Cup episodes, and then back again when the new FPL game launches in late July/early August. Until then, Hail Cheaters!

Ep 125: Masters of the Universe (GW37-38) May 08, 2018

Show notes

We're hoping for a big midweek turnaround with Kane, Jesus, and Sterling after having endured a GW37 opening salvo that tested most FPL managers' pain threshold. While we wait for a rescue, let's look ahead to GW38 and our final push for glory. With Aubameyang stepping up against Burnley, does he now enter into the realm of essential for Sunday, or does he remain a punt? Though woefully out of form, can Kane do anything at home to Newcastle, apart from getting another injury, that would make us drop him ahead of Leicester? And what about Salah, who looked tired and distant against Chelsea? Can he still be the standout captain choice for mini league chasers and leaders alike? Plus we're reading of some epic listener rants and answering your questions. Don't forget to come back next week for our special season recap. Hail Cheaters!
