Always Cheating: A Fantasy Premier League Podcast

Latest Episodes:

Ep 104: How's Your Team? (GW15-16) Dec 04, 2017

Show notes

In GW15, it was certainly "No Hazard, No Party." So it's now looking more like a matter of when and not if we get Chelsea's Belgian midfielder into our FPL lineups. Will Harry Kane make way for the necessary transfer funds? Probably not, but Josh and Brandon are judging whether other expensive players like Jesus, Agüero, Morata, Sané, and de Gea are worth their price tags. Stay tuned for listener questions on emerging transfer targets like Aaron Ramsey, as well as our fixture previews for GW16. Plus, we have a very special announcement for our Patreon supporters.

Ep 103: Don't Get Clever (GW13-15) Nov 27, 2017

Show notes

As weirdly fun and excruciating as GW13 was for many FPL managers, we have precious little time to dwell upon it - not with two more game weeks mere hours away. Always Cheating hosts, Josh and Brandon, are already sizing up almost every conceivable transfer option ahead of the GW14 midweek and GW15 weekend fixtures. How essential do Chelsea assets like Hazard and Morata look now? Is it time to part ways with big strikers like Lukaku and Jesus? And is Charlie Austin the budget forward that we've all been waiting for? Plus we answer your listener questions and outline our captain picks for the next two game weeks. Hail Cheaters!

Ep 102: Personal Kane-guish (GW12-13) Nov 21, 2017

Show notes

The Premier League returned from its most recent international break with a massive GW12 filled with goals, clean sheets, and a single dark cloud in the shape of Harry Kane. In this episode, we're looking at the Spurs lineup in the aftermath of their loss to Arsenal, compounded by a frustrating run of FPL results for their star striker. We also discuss the awaited and long-awaited returns of Pogba and Ibra, Chelsea's scintillating team display at the Hawthorns, and, when it comes to mid-priced stars like Richarlison and Groß, what "essential" might really mean for FPL managers. Plus, we answer your listener questions before detailing GW13 transfer targets and captain picks. Hail Cheaters!

Ep 101: Champion Lurker (Break-GW12) Nov 13, 2017

Show notes

Why does it feel like this international break is going on forever? To help pass the time, we're looking ahead to the GW12 fixtures and reviewing captains and clean sheet options match by match. Is Salah a better bet against Southampton than a flat-track bully Lukaku at home to Newcastle? And might we overlook Kane who regularly delivers in the North London derby? We also take some listener questions on wildcarding, preferred formations, and must-have defenders. Hail Cheaters!

Ep 99: Moving Day (GW10-11) Oct 31, 2017

Show notes

From Glenn Murray to Aaron Ramsey, we're devoting some time this week to recent FPL lucky streaks. Doucouré? Mahrez? Diouf? Who's just a flash in the pan? And who's a viable longterm asset for your squad? We're also talking about David De Gea and breaking typical FPL goalkeeper conventions, the theories behind banking two free transfers, and a ton of quick-fire questions from our listeners. Of course, there is obligatory Manchester City and Harry Kane chat, as well as our GW11 preview. Hail Cheaters!

Ep 98: President of the World (GW9-10) Oct 23, 2017

Show notes

Manchester City giveth, and then they taketh away. This week we discuss Pep Guardiola's painful yet entirely predictable player rotation. And we're obliged to talk about Harry Kane's big #GW9 Wembley performance, right? Or the lack of any performance whatsoever from Manchester United? Then, for something completely different, we review top performing budget picks (£7.5M and under for midfielders and forwards, £5.0M and under for defenders) through the first quarter of the season and who among those picks is best suited for a late October wildcard. Stick around for our preview of #GW10 fixtures, including picks for captains and clean sheets. Hail Cheaters!

Ep 97: A War of Attrition (GW8-9) Oct 17, 2017

Show notes

Undoubtedly, the biggest takeaway from #GW8 is that Manchester City is irresistible. Josh and Brandon examine the Sky Blues, from strikers to midfielders to defenders, and how best to approach their #FPL assets. We're also reassessing the recent fad of the "Power 3" up front and whether it still holds much interest amid the chaos of injuries and blanks with Lukaku, Kane, Agüero, and Morata, among others. Stay tuned for heat checks on Zaha, Gabbiadini, and Abraham, as well as a preview of #GW9 fixtures. Hail Cheaters!

Ep 96: Forest for the Trees (Break-GW8) Oct 09, 2017

Show notes

Emerging from another international break hibernation, Josh and Brandon are ready to get back to the business of #FPL. With injuries to both Agüero and Morata, there are lingering questions on how to best structure a robust front three lineup. There is also the matter the growing Raheem Sterling bandwagon and we compare his potential against the other Manchester City mids: Sané and David Silva. Later, we run team by team through the league table and give a status report on how each club has or hasn't impressed through these first seven weeks of the FPL season. Plus we preview captains and clean sheets for #GW8. Hail Cheaters!
