With news of a possible postponement of Spurs v Villa in GW18, which in turn could affect fixtures in GW19, Sam & Siva attempt to make sense of everything while discussing the best FPL assets for both GW18 and GW19, both from the perspective of managers who will be playing a chip (Free Hit, Wildcard, Triple Captain) and also those who won’t be playing a chip. Man City, Man Utd, Villa, Arsenal,...

With the announcement of BGW18 and DGW19, Siva & Sam return to map out transfer plans and chip strategies (free hit, wildcard, triple captain, bench boost) with the blank and double gameweeks in mind, including DGW26 and BGW29.

Premium Overload! With hauls for KDB, Salah, Son, Kane and a return for Bruno off the bench (and even a Sterling haul) we assess the best premiums and how many of them we can get without compromising the rest of our teams. To that end, we also consider the best budget enablers at the moment, strategies for dealing with the upcoming fixture pile-up as well as answering listener questions and lookin...

With Sam achieving a jump from an overall rank of 2.2m up to the top 400k in the World in the space of just 4 weeks (where he joins Siva), they address the week’s biggest #FPL issues; the best Man City assets that might help us beat Pep Roulette, whether Bruno Fernandes is a must-have asset regardless of fixtures, the possibility of Diogo Jota being “cover” for Mo Salah, letting go of Spurs assets...

After selling SALAH and becoming beneficiaries of a generous double digit haul from Bruno Fernandes, Siva & Sam return to debate whether to get Salah straight back in after his quick recovery, and how to fit Salah in with the Spurs, Man City, Man Utd and Leicester assets - we can’t have them all. They also consider budget forwards, defensive options and debate the best captain this week. If yo...

As the international break (finally) comes to an end, Sam & Siva return from a good GW8 to discuss all the big topics: what to do with MO SALAH, holding on to Son/Kane and attacking the fixture swings with Man United, Man City, Villa, Leicester and Everton. They also appreciate the awesomeness of Hakim Ziyech, consider the best defensive options and debate captains. If you enjoyed the Pod, let...

The lads are back with their bad football views, proposing alternative punishments for Jordan Pickford's horror tackle on Van Dijk, praising Ole after winning 2-1 in Paris and Leon's regularly scheduled defence of Lampard after Chelsea and their £250m attack managed 1 shot on target in a 0-0 draw at United Ahead of the English El Classico, Arsenal v United, the boys look back at their favourite me...

The boys are back to review the end of the 2020 summer transfer window. But before that, we discuss Man United’s humbling 6-1 loss to Spurs and whether it is finally time for #OleOut. We also talk soon to be 20/21 Premier League champions Everton, David Moyes and virtues of working from home, the Premier League teams which had the best and worst transfer windows, before finally selecting our all-t...

GW2 has come and gone and Sam really nailed it, having Harry Kane for all 4 of his assists. He now puts his previously “secret differential” plan to wildcard in GW3 into action – although news has leaked out and now every FPL manager seems to be on a wildcard. Siva, who could not have picked a worse time to transfer out Son Heung Min for Bruno Fernandes, joins Sam on the wildcard. With 2 weeks of...

We wish to apologise for Sam's comments in EP. 2 where he compared José Mourinho's "backwards" style of football to the movie Tenet. Following Spurs' 5-2 win over Southampton, it is only appropriate that Sam takes a temporary break from the pod while we investigate his comments.  Siva takes over as we discuss United's 3-1 defeat to Palace where a penalty save was cancelled for De Gea jumping...

Fresh from the carnage that was GW1, Sam & Siva assess the damage (hint: 1 of them did not have Mo) and debate the big FPL issues before GW2: Keep Salah or swap to United assets, jumping on Everton and dumping Spurs assets, Essential Enablers from Leicester and Wolves, Budget Forwards, Recommended Transfers and Captaincy options  Follow us on Twitter @FPL_Banger where we also make “deep d...
