Ep 95: Unremarkable Hughes (GW6-7) Sep 26, 2017

Show notes

After a weekend full of goals from the #FPL's most expensive strikers, Josh and Brandon step in to discuss how best to select and squeeze in three heavy-hitting forwards. Kane, Lukaku, Morata, Lukaku, and Lacazette all have compelling cases for inclusion, but first we'll need to inspect fixtures and form. We also take a closer look at a range of Chelsea and Liverpool players before getting to our #GW7 preview with transfer targets, captaincy options, and nailed clean sheets. Hail Cheaters!

Ep 94: Open Road (GW5-6) Sep 18, 2017

Show notes

To summarize: Agüero Good, Davies Bad. After a wild #GW5 in which Manchester City poured it on and Spurs pulled the rug out from under many #FPL managers, now is a good time to pause and reflect. Always Cheating hosts Josh and Brandon seek to find a way to capitalize on City's form, while still not giving up on the likes of Kane and Lukaku. Do we have some genuine flops on our hands, or are managers knee-jerking some of these big-name players out of their squads too quickly? We also look at the curious match-up between Chelsea and Arsenal and what that might teach us for the coming weeks. We conclude with a #GW6 preview including captaincy and clean sheet picks.

Ep 93: Man in the Mirror (GW4-5) Sep 12, 2017

Show notes

With #GW4 goals from Kane, Lukaku, Agüero, Jesus, Morata, and Lacazette, it's high time Josh and Brandon discuss the ideal heavy hitting strikers for our #FPL squads. How do we choose both the best players and the best formation to suit an abundance of forward talent, but perhaps a dearth of mid-price midfield selections? We also examine Liverpool's prospects following Mané's red card, buying into Tottenham's epic run of fixtures, and Abdoulaye Doucouré vs. Pascal Groß. Stay tuned for captains and clean sheet picks for #GW5. Hail Cheaters!

Ep 92: Crushin Fools (Break-GW4) Sep 05, 2017

Show notes

As we come out of the international break and prepare for the return of Premier League action, Josh and Brandon are discussing Deadline Day dealings and how those moves might impact your #FPL squad. From Bony, the Ox, and Renato Sanchez to Aurier, Zappacosta, and Gibbs, among others, who's straight in and who's a wait and see? And in preparation for #GW4, we debate the immediate potential of Hazard and Alexis, the standout mid-price midfielders, and other key questions from the listeners. Hail Cheaters!

Ep 91: The Wildcard Diaries (GW3-Break) Aug 28, 2017

Show notes

As #FPL heads into its first international break of the season, Always Cheating co-host Josh was also in need of a break. While he's on vacation, Brandon is joined by guest Luke Thunberg (@FPLThunshot) to recap a thrilling, if complex #GW3. We discuss the continuing August curse of Harry Kane and how he compares to emerging strikers like Firmino and Morata. Liverpool and Manchester United predictably dominate the midfield discussion, but we're also taking time to discuss the exploits of promoted Huddersfield Town (still yet to concede a league goal). And it's already that time to start triggering early wildcards, so sit tight for a quick chat on the pros and cons of playing your wildcard heading into the break. Josh and Brandon will return next week for a full #GW4 preview and international break recap, but, in the meantime, Hail Cheaters!

Ep 89: Hegazi's World (GW1-2) Aug 14, 2017

Show notes

The new #FPL season has finally kicked off. So what did we learn from GW1 apart from the fact that it was a pretty insane game week? Always Cheating hosts Josh and Brandon take a look at the key players and events from the opening round and discuss where their teams went right and where they went completely pear-shaped. Are we knee-jerking anyone in or out of our squads? Which midfielders in the £5.0-7.0 range might work for an emergency team surgery? Plus we're looking ahead to the GW2 fixtures, including potential clean sheet picks and captaincy options. Hail Cheaters!
