Don't Get Fancy

A brief reflection on finishing #2 OR in CWC Fantasy & the recently concluded FPL season, and a look ahead to the World Cup Fantasy.

Back to back to back green arrows, up to 77k OR. Has the luck run out? Juan and Prat discuss future plans, transfers, and captaincy for GW28.

Juan and Ale dive into Wildcard strategies, unite over life without Haaland, and mentally prepare for the inevitable benching heartbreak ahead.

Join us as we try a new format, our first-ever live session, throwing ourselves right into the chaos that is FPL. Giving real-time reactions, FPL commentary, and panicking over our teams as the match unfolded. Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/blue-wednesday/lefty    

Arsenal, Salah's drama, and a pact about Timber’s captaincy? (plus) a special guest who’s doing better than all of us!  

Juan runs it solo this episode, breaking down last week’s action and looking ahead to a quick turnaround with midweek games coming up.

Let it all work out? GW12 gave us a 40-piece and a few stories to tell. Join us as we head into GW13.

Back to FPL after the international break and a little hibernation. Untimely transfers, injuries, and a whole lot of coping.

Alej is back with a quick solo episode to go over who you should be targeting in the upcoming GWs, as well as breaking down Juan's wildcard.

Wildcard success? (Kinda). Plenty, plenty to pick from. The only question is: who are you backing?

We drafted our  Don’t Get Fancy  team for CWC Fantasy — the squad we’ll be entering into the mini-leagues. But of course, we had to spice things up.

As the curtain falls on this FPL season, we look back at a wild GW37 — what worked, what didn't and our very own hindsight captain.
