FPL Lounge

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our DG25 Preview! It's a double gameweek for 4 teams, including two of FPL's big-hitters, so the lads run through those DGW fixtures and give an update on Man City's strong side in European competition and some injury news for players on a double. The radar has a very familiar feel to GW24, with managers wise to target the double with assets with grea...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for a slightly later GW24 Preview (apologies - there was illness in the lounge!) Plenty of updates in the FPL world, including two new doubles, some updates on BGW29 and therefore plenty of chat about chip strategy. The lads unpack and dissect it all to keep you up to date. The radar reflects the changes to the FPL schedule, with DGW25 players featuring prominently,...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for the GW23 Preview. Barely a couple of days since the last deadline so not loads of talking points, although some key further info on Mr. Erling Braut Haaland, with his long-awaited return to action. The radar reflects the impact of the return of one the most expensive and highly owned FPL assets ever in Haaland. The lads discuss how desperate, or not, the need is...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge - it's been a while! - for the GW22 Preview. Plenty of news to get listeners caught up on, including injury updates on some major FPL hitters, updates on future double and blank gamesweeks, plus a look ahead to a likely big BGW29. The lads also provide a small update on Afcon and the Asian Cup, with few FPL big hitters returning early. The radar has a similar fee...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for the first gameweek of 2024, to preview this elongated GW21. Plenty of news to get listeners caught up on, including injury updates on some major FPL hitters, the departure of others to Afcon and the Asian Cup, along with a look ahead to potential blank and double gameweeks on the horizon. As ever, the lads go through the permutations and what impact each could ha...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for the final time in 2023, to Preview GW20. Transfers few and far between with another quick turnaround so the lads opt for another shortened show, covering the essentials. Talking points include the last week to use wildcard plus Haaland news. Some new and some remaining names on the radar, with one from last week pushing on up. A former FPL must-have comes back in...

Ho Ho Ho! Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for the final pod before Christmas - GW19, kicking off the day after the big man's been down the chimney. In a shortened pod, and with injuries, rotation and suspensions afoot, the lads start by quickly getting you up to date on all FPL news. The radar has a very similar feel to GW19, but a big name drops off, a hat-trick hero gets downgraded, and a new...

Ho Ho Ho! Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for the final GW before Christmas - GW18. It's a blank GW for two teams but first the lads review the circumstances around an inadvertent BGW17, particularly unfortunate from an FPL POV from those who brough in Solanke. The lads also discuss festive rotation and the EFL Cup. Stop what you're doing - there is a pick on the centre of the radar for the...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! The lads return to preview GW17. Premium player chaos in the news this week with reports of a Haaland injury (or is there??) and the spectre of Son and Salah's departures for most of Jan, mixed in with the impending Wildcard deadline, all leaving managers with big dilemmas. The lads explain and consider the options. City and Brentford blanking in GW18 heavily im...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! The lads return to preview this short-turnaround GW16. Plenty of FPL news, particularly the injury to a high-owned Bryan Mbuemo and the continued benchings of high-owned Matty Cash, with a few other examples of rotation in GW15 too that may have left managers frustrated! The radar has a similar feel to GW15, with the lads assessing why Solanke or Isak aren't qui...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! The lads return to preview this midweek GW15. With such a short turnaround from GW14, the lads assess the impact rotation could have on GW15, with some high-owned players picking up knocks/niggles, some replaced earlier than usual, and some benched in GW14. The lads also take a look at the big-name players one booking away from a ban. The radar has the feel of Postm...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! The lads return to preview GW14 A rarity for this season takes place with midweek Premier League games meaning 3 FPL GWs in 9 days. the lads highlight the issues this raises for you teams. It also starts the run in towards the congested Xmas fixture schedule, which has consequences for Wildcard. When added to rearranged games coz of City's Arabian adventures, it...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! The lads return after the international break to preview GW13. Plenty of flagged players for FPL managers to consider ahead of the GW13 deadline, so the lads remind all listeners to keep an eye on press conferences. A look ahead at the fixtures, too, before a busy Christmas schedule, sees some smaller EPL teams atop the ticker - would we see some emerging FPL assets...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! The lads return to preview GW12. As seems to be the case across the entire football landscape at the moment, VAR was a talking point for the lads this week, as well as the European midweek consequences for FPL. Some cheap soon-to-be starters in one of the best defences in the league make their way onto the radar this week, with another cheap new starter on the fring...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! The lads return to preview GW11. Very few talking points this week, but the lads have a quick chat about possible rotation in the Carabao Cup, especially given some Premier League heavyweights face off against each other. Some injury news means guaranteed minutes for a new addition to the radar's mid-range, while the fringe also has some new, budget, defensive a...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! The lads return to preview GW10. the lads have a quick chat to start about Europe, and the potential to wildcard, but also spend some time reflecting on the passing of two giants of English football, Sir Bobby Charlton and Bill Kenwright. The radar has a familiar feel to last week, with some minor additions and movement, including an upgrade for an in-form Ollie Wat...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! The lads return refreshed after the international break to preview GW9. After a quick chat about Beckham (the documentary *and* the man), they turn their attention to wildcard strategy and why now may be tempting for many. Their radar is given a refresh, with a few players remaining from GW8, but also plenty of new chat and discussion, including a very appealing und...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our preview of Gameweek 8 - the last before an International break A very similar looking radar to last week as the trends spotted then continue, but 2 midfielders and strikers who've been highly adored in these parts before are rearing their heads again too: one each for the radar and for the "anyone else" watchlist. Someone call Winnie the Pooh as...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our preview of Gameweek 7. Some potentially helpful rotation this week with the Carabao cup rather than Europe taking up the midweek games. Many defenders remain on and join the radar this week with varying risks and opportunities which the lads discuss. Some top premium assets of FPL past are starting to catch the eye again too... A swimming against the tide thi...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! European football returns but the lads, as ever, are focusing on FPL in this, their preview of Gameweek 6. European rotation of course if a concern at this time of the season, but with so many injuries mounting for the Manchester clubs, how much rotation will we see? The lads feel confident that De Zerbi's Brighton will more than make up for it. No centre of the...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! The lads are back after the international break and the transfer window SLAMMING shut to preview Gamweek 5. Our first FPL DGW of the season has been announced and it's a big one, when in GW7 two titans of FPL, Burnley and Luton, square off twice - how will we resist bringing in assets from those two? Perhaps they can replace some pre-international break injury w...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! The lads are back to preview the final Gameweek before the International Break (and the transfer window closing!). Transfers - and potential transfers - dominate the news with last minute carnage occurring all over the league. What will the impact be on FPL? What's the best way to try and deal with all the upheaval? The radar is interesting this week with 2 well...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! The season is now in full swing, and the lads turn their attention to GW3. They start by running through the latest FPL news, with European midweek fixtures beginning for one team, and injuries and transfers aplenty impacting FPL assets. They also have a quick look at the utility of using the Bench Boost chip in GW3, given a good set of fixtures for many assets. On...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! As the dust settles on GW1, we go again as we look ahead to GW2. The lads give a few of their takeaways after GW1, including some concern for Man Utd, and less concern about Aston Villa, despite their respective results. O the radar, the lads look at an eye-catching defender in the centre, while KDB's injury presents some opportunities in the mid-range. The Frin...

We're back, baby! Welcome once again to the FPL Lounge for our flagship GW1 Preview episode - and how good does it feel for football and FPL to be back?! The start of this season feels more difficult to navigate than usual, and with that, Andy & Chris start by discussing how new football rules relating to added time and bookings could affect FPL. They look at the 'template' and how...
