FPL Lounge

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! At the end of an intense and unusual season, Chris and Andy are back to review how it went. In this first of two season review shows the lads go position by position to ponder the various FPL assets who stood out. This then leads them to a team of the season and ultimately, the Second Annual FPL Lounge Player of the Season (from a fantasy perspective). Please do rat...

Welcome to the FPL Lounge! After promising shorter shows, the lads have somehow produced their longest preview of the season so far (blame Andy!).  After considering talking points for the week - who has what to play for - Andy and Chris' radar goes through every fixture in GW38 in 2 mins (ish). With GW38 being the ultimate one week punt, there's no runs of fixtures to put on your radar so th...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! The lads are back to review a busy and eventful DGW36 and preview the penultimate DGW37, as the season draws to a close! In the DGW36 review, the lads review the players in the teams that doubled, including good returns from City assets (including one player in particular), with returns also coming for radar picks in Luis Diaz and Eddie Nketiah. They assess whether...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! In the preview of DGW36 the lads reflect on a dramatic UCL semi-final and what the minutes incurred by City players could mean for the run-in. The radar continues to focus on the doubles, both next week and this, but with a more laser focus on Man City now with all eggs in their Premier League basket. The lads also assess different chip strategies for the final thre...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! The lads are back to review Gameweek 35 and its been an up and down one. They start by going back over the players on the radar with Chelsea laying an egg, but Villa (and Olly Watkins) doing the business for the radar, with the lads also right to swerve Leicester assets. Top Differential and Blankety Blank are back, although neither Andy nor Chris feel much convicti...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! In the preview of GW35 the lads reflect on what the mixed European fortunes, and minutes, means for players of those teams involved. The radar continues in last week's theme of looking ahead to doubles although some players look more attractive now whilst others less so. This sees some new additions and some assets that drop off. They swim against the tide of anothe...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! The lads are back to review Gameweek 34 and its been an up and down one. They start by going back over the players on the radar with huge variance for key Chelsea assets and mixed success elsewhere too. Top Differential and Blankety Blank are back with one team providing winners for both this week. A very shallow tide was swum against with success before more mixed...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! The lads are back to review a busy and eventful DGW33 and preview a GW34 that truly kicks off the squeaky-bum-time of the season - where mini-leagues are won and lost! In the DGW33 review, the lads review the players in the teams that doubled, including good returns from Newcastle defenders and Harvey Barnes, feel (finally) justified in Swimming Against the Maddison...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! In this GW33 Preview, the lads start by recapping an excellent midweek of European fixtures for British teams, and hypothesise how many players on a double should be in manager's teams this week. Their radar is once again heavily influenced by the DGW33, and their Swimming Against the Tide has a familiar feel to it too. They round off as ever with captaincy and a li...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! In this episode the lads start by highlighting the talking points of doubles announced for GWs 36 and 37, plus a quick look at news for English teams in Europe. The Players on the Radar again link to DGW33 teams although GW31 has tempered the desire for such players. The lads add a few updates to those doubling teams/players highlighted last week before pondering a...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! The overall theme of today's review of GW31 is Andy and Chris waffling and lamenting under-performances! To begin, some poor performances for many of the featured teams dominates the review of the radar. Then for the first time in a while the lads can take a look at high owned blankers and low owned players who returned, with some useful nugs coming out of it. The t...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! After an extended International Break the lads are back to preview Gameweek 31.  With the final run-in feeling like a mini season of its own they discuss the key staging points, including two upcoming DGWs. After a quick consideration of the strategies available it becomes clear that teams who double in GW33 will influence the thinking regardless, so the radar...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! The lads are back to review a busy DGW29 and preview a somewhat quieter BGW30 - although they still found plenty to talk about! (the preview starts at 29:06). In the DGW29 review, the lads review the players in the teams that doubled, including good performances from Tottenham and two clean sheets for Liverpool. They also look back on the Kane vs Salah armband debat...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! The lads are back to review an action-packed DGW28 and preview a similarly busy DGW29 (the preview starts at 41:48). In the DGW28 review, Andy reflects on a disastrous gameweek for him, reviewing Rudiger and Kilman's surprise benchings alongside the performances from Chelsea, Wolves and Southampton. They also review their Swimming Against the Tide, with Jimenez savi...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! In the first of 2 consecutive DGWs the lads take a look at the options for dealing with what's to come. This leads to a fairly extensive radar to cover those who have doubles and those who will actually feature in the mainly blank GW30 too - but with a few teams/players who stand out. All good things must come to an end and a player who was once the darling of the F...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! A blank for some big teams but a double for one down the lower end led to some imbalanced squads and therefore many Free Hits this Gameweek. The radar was influenced by not only this but the upcoming bigger doubles announced for 28 and 29 too and the lads go back over the picks with an eye on what’s to come. The schedule carnage off the back of the winter break and...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! The lads have returned from their foray to East London amid gusty winds to bring you the latest FPL news, reviewing DGW26 and previewing GW27 (the preview starts at 21:10). In the DGW26 review, the lads look back at the players on the radar, including Burnley's first DGW in a row, the Wolves and Arsenal defenders they thought were worth putting some stock into, and...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! Andy has returned from his holiday in time for DGW26, in this hybrid episode that also reviews GW25 (the preview starts at 28:11). In the GW25 review, the lads look back at the players on the radar, including Brighton and Man Utd assets who doubled, plus previous radar picks of Liverpool and Aston Villa players. They review their Honey Traps - did Andy win twice? Di...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! It's a quick turnaround this week, and the lads had to record early during GW24, so no review here, just a straight-up preview of GW25 - a double for Man Utd and Brighton. With that in mind, they focus on players from those teams, with Andy's Man Utd scepticism limiting just Bruno to the radar, along with some Brighton options neither Andy or Chris are convinced by....

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! With an extended winter break, GW23 is finally in the books and the lads are finally back to preview Gameweek 24. They catch up on all FPL news, including the news of double GWs in 25, 26 and potentially 27, the deadline day signings before the January transfer window SLAMMED shut, and Mane and Salah's return to the EPL from Afcon. Their radar is heavily influenced...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! After a horrendous GW for a number of reasons, the lads pick the bones out of the radar and the lack of points. Despite that lack of points in general though, some success for radar picks. Blankety Blank is a no brainer this week but there are a few interesting options for Top Differential - no surprise the points are with the low owned players when the average is s...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! The latest hybrid breaks down GW22 and looks ahead to GW23 (The Preview starts at 38:04). In the GW22 review, the lads review the players on the radar, including impressive Aston Villa assets, but with Andy highlighting a player not called Philippe Coutinho, while blanks were the order of the day from players the lads thought could have - but didn't end up having -...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! With a very extended GW21, including an FA Cup hiatus, the lads are finally back to preview DOUBLE Gameweek 22. After some talking points, which inevitably include Covid, they look for some players on the radar... but the ocean floor's quite empty! With all the options that could've played out, there aren't many juicy looking doubles but Andy and Chris talk through...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! In order to avoid a 2 week gap between shows, because GW21 doesn't end until the end of next week, the lads are reviewing what's happened so far in this GW's first round of fixtures. They start by reviewing how the players on the radar fared before looking at a high owned player who blanked and a top differential: this week's choice looking likely to have a decent r...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! A New Year hybrid breaks down GW20 and looks ahead to GW21 (The Preview starts at 30:04). In the GW20 review, the lads review the players on the radar, including a return-to-form for Harry Kane, Jarrod Bowen Arrow and removing Utd players as they make Andy too angry. Their Blankety Blank is courtesy of a MID who spurned some very big chances, while the Top Different...
