The Black & White FPL Podcast

It's been a minute but Alfie is finally back with a look towards GW22. Kevin De Bruyne, Erling Haaland and Mo Salah are on the minds of all managers, but how do we pick our poison when it comes to the big lads of FPL? And if not them, who? We take a look at some other cheaper options that could be options instead of the pricier options. Jurgen Klopp has also announced his departure from Liverp...

Another year of excellent music and Alfie and Ewan are here to recap it all. Hot takes, great taste and gushing over pop girlies; you'll find it all in this bumper pod episode where we count down our favourite tunes of the last 12 months.

After a few pods off, a good GW16 see's Alfie back inside the top 250k with that all important wildcard in the pocket. On this pod, we take a look at some big teams that people should be keeping their ear to there ground with. Newcastle and Chelsea seem to be very on and off at the moment, but with Newcastle's home form and Chelsea's favourable next five games, is that enough for you t...

It's red arrows all over for Alfie but one thing we don't do here at Black and White FPL is panic (jk i'm panicking). This week, we have a look at Alisson's injury and the opening that brings up for Kelleher, Matty Cash and whether we should sell him for other defensive options, as well as the current state of our forward lines and if Isak and Nunez are the best strikers to take fo...

The dreaded international break is finally over but not without taking a toll on our fantasy squads. In this episode, we take a look at how to deal with multiple injuries in your squad (cos we know you have them), the ongoing dilemma of cheap midfielders and look at the ones you should be looking at going into this week, as well as Chelsea's recent resurgence and if the ever-loved Reece James...

A gameweek famous for all the wrong reasons. Alfie recaps one of the single worst weeks of Fantasy Football in memory, with low scores everywhere you look. We take a look at how to keep calm after a bad week, whether Mbuemo and Eze are worth going to now they are regaining interest, as well as who to replaced for the many defenders with injuries and suspensions. Follow us on Twitter: Black and Whi...

FPL has passed the 10 week mark and with the pack finally starting to split up a little bit, it's really time to get your head down and make some big ground up. This week, we have a look at whether Man United assets are still worth holding, even with their amazing three game run. Star man, Pedro Neto, picked up a knock against Newcastle, so who are the best replacements for the Portuguese wing...

Alfie is back and he's back in the top 100k. The Wildcarder's can't put him down and he's still got his in the chamber ready to let it off like a loaded LMG. On this week's pod, we look at if Mo Salah is now a do or die pick and if he's even worth taking a hit for. Brighton are back on the menu and we look at if Kaoru Mitoma should be the budget midfielder of choice compare...

After a flying start, Alfie's luck has caught up with him for one week, as he could hang with the wildcarders this week, as the rank took a big hit. However, as always, we move. We take a look at Kostas Tsimikas becoming an option again, due to Andy Robertson's recent injury, Crystal Palace and West Ham assets you should be keeping an eye on in the coming weeks, Sandro Tonali's recent...

After baring witness to another green arrow and a Parisian pummelling last night, Alfie is flying high in the top 50k and is here to talk all things Wildcard. We take a look at all thing chip strategy, why people are and should be using the chip now, why you maybe should hold on for a few more weeks, as well as the players you should be targeting, if you are planning on reshuffling your pack of pl...

Six weeks in and Alfie is still kicking it in the top 100k. This week, Newcastle put eight past Sheffield United, so which assets should you be looking at in their current vein of form? Bryan Mbuemo's returns have started to slow down, so should we look at selling Brentford's biggest asset? We look at what goalkeepers to hone in on if you're on a wildcard, as well as going back to Diff...

The International break is over and Premier League action returns with some big questions around the game. Burnley and Luton have a double gameweek in GW7, so is Carlton Morris the only pick you need or do you really dive in and try to benefit? We look at Newcastle's fixture swing and who to invest in from the Geordies, as well as if Brighton assets should be in our starting XI's for their...

The Bench Boost chip can normally flatter to deceive managers, with dreams of an additional 25 points falling flat more times than not. In Alfie's case, that couldn't be further from that reality and he now finds himself inside the top 14k. This pod, we go over the current English midfield revolution in FPL, if Ollie Watkins is worth staying in our teams despite his consistent returns, as...

GW2 presented a rough time for most managers and Alfie is here to recap the carnage. 6.5m midfielders are the chef's choice on the menu this week and there's plenty to pick from, with Mitoma, March, Mbuemo and Diaby all looking good. Gabriel has made him self public enemy no.1, with another bench appearance, so is it time to drop the Brazilian, along with the compromising Marcus Rashford a...

FPL is well and truly back and Alfie is here to take you through the essentials. This week, we had some injury woes at the back, with Reece James already taking a knock, as well as a peculiar Pervis Estupinan ACL rumour. We take a look at Richarlison vs Maddison and who you should be taking over the two Spurs mids. Man City are lacking attacking options, so who should you be taking alongside the N...

We. Are. Back. Alfie is back for the first episode of the brand new season, as we look towards a brand new FPL campaign. He takes a look at all 20 teams in the league and how they shape up going into this new escapade into the fantasy world, looking at premiums, enablers, gems, as well as teams you should be charging into and the ones you should be ducking. Follow us on Twitter: Black and White FP...

FIFA Songs. The soundtrack to our football gaming experience, with bands like Bloc Party, Gorillaz, Two Door Cinema Club and Kasabian all being stalwarts of the FIFA universe. With so many iconic tunes and bands featured on the games over the years, it is up two fateful gents (and a coin flip) to decipher which one is truly the best of all time. Join Alfie and special co-host, Maximus 'The Wed...

Thank God that's over. The boys are back for one last time for a season review, as Alfie and Oliver take a look back at a turbulent season, look back at their highs and lows, the promoted sides and how they may get on next year, Newcastle's Champions League hopes and a look into the lads' worst and most underrated XI's of the season. Follow us on Twitter: Black and White FPL: https...

Well, this is it. The season is at it's climax and is it still all to play for? Alfie is still chasing the mini league title, but, after some less than good gameweeks, it leaves him with a 22 point gap to make up if he wants to finish the season in the top spot. Oliver, on the other hand, is hopefully looking to maybe even jump his co host. We look at the potential differentials that could mak...

Football is a game of two halves and the pod could not resemble that more right now. Oliver has lost all hope after another red arrow and continues to trail further behind Alfie, who has broken into the top 150k for the first time this season. We take a look at the Brighton and Newcastle double gameweek coming up, as well as the differentials that come with it, as well as DGW 37's prospects of...

The Free Hits have well and truly paid off for the boys and they could not be happier. With top 100k in the sights for Alfie and just beating Alfie being the target of Oliver, the lads look ahead to an important end to the season. We look at whether captaincy should be changed in the future to stop the set and forget strategy, who to pick between Callum Wilson and Alexander Isak and the relegation...

The boys are back with a midweek edition of the pod, with a solid week for one of us to boot. Alfie has made up some good ground on his poor GW32 score, with Oliver still having some ground to make up and both lads still having 4 players still to take the stage. Haaland yet again stings Oliver not backing him with the armband, but Alexander Isak could still make the difference. Meanwhile, Alfie ba...

In a week of no freehits for both the boys, one fared better than the other. Oliver walks away with a fortunate green arrow, whereas Alfie's rank tanked big style cos his team are 'dead food, fam'. 33 coming around the corner rapidly, so the boys look at transfer options for the midweek, with Brighton assets looking to take Forest to the sword and Marcus Rashford also back on the menu....

The boys are back and aren't freehitting?! Despite saving their precious chips for DGW 34, Alfie and Oliver look over a potential GW32 freehit and what it could look like. We also look at Palace's midfield, a race for mini league glory with some bad jokes sprinkled within the general FPL chit chat.

Alfie is back after a truly magnificent week, seeing him fly to his highest rank of the season so far. Gameweek 30 sees the return of Erling Haaland for many teams, but is it worth drawing for him when he blanks in just 3 gameweeks time? Alfie gives his views on the free hit dilemma between BGW 32 and DGW 34. Last week also saw the departure of Graham Potter and Brendan Rodgers from their respecti...
