Well this is a spicy episode! FPL Pod VS Tok turns into a something of a football phone in as Matt poses the question "what is going on at Chelsea?" It's a pretty open one as questions go, and was inspired by recent editions of the Jon Obi-Mikel's The Obi-One Podcast . (Belated) Happy Star Wars Day to all those one celebrate. We start by talking about the dramatic changes undergone by Chelsea sinc...

With game week 34 still in play at the time of recording, Matt and Nick discuss free hit performances and look ahead to the next round of matches.

Alongside taking in his usual favourites Matt's podcast of the week is FPL Focal who provi...

Matt's pod of the week is the Green Arrow FPL Podcast hosted by Rich Clarke and Fergi. Amongst his comments about this show, Matt states how impressive it is that the Green Arrow pod celebrates it's 200th episode, especially given amount of Fantasy Premier League content that falls by the wayside before it hits the big time. Somewhat inadvertently, this theme of endurance and lasting the distance...

Nick starts this week's episode by talking about his recent trip to Stamford Bridge to see Chelsea take on Leicester City in last Sunday's game week 28 fixture.

The Blues also used the game to celebrate their 1...

Matt begins the pod by talking about his trip to see AFC Croydon take on the mighty Ashford United. As he explains, while the Rams got the win, the Green and White Army's fans, especially their young contingent, created a fun atmosphere and out sung the Croydon supporters for most of the match.

Amongst his New Year's resolutions, Matt ha...

There's no rest for these Merry Gentleman as Matt and Saint Nick, (he does have the beard for it), dive straight in talk about their respective game week 17 performances.
