The Triple Captains Podcast

GW36 changed everything. What looked like strong process and solid preparation was once again humbled by the reality of FPL variance. With only two Gameweeks remaining, the margins now become brutal. In Episode 36 of Triple Captains, the hosts reflect on the fallout from GW36, review their teams, and break down the short-term decisions that could still define rank outcomes before the season ends....

FPL Gameweek 35 is where seasons are either recovered… or completely lost. In this episode of the Triple Captains Podcast, we break down the real strategic divide in FPL right now — managers chasing points versus those building rank for the run-in. After the fallout from Double Gameweek 33, where Bench Boosters came out on top and others were left questioning everything, the focus now shifts to de...

Blank Gameweeks in Fantasy Premier League can define your season — but only if you approach them with a clear strategy. After a Double Gameweek 33 that didn’t quite deliver, where Bench Boosters edged out Free Hitters through a number of unlikely heroes, attention now turns to Blank Gameweek 34 — and a very different kind of decision. In this episode of the Triple Captains Podcast, we break down h...

Double Gameweek 33 is one of the biggest decision points of the FPL season — and getting it right can define your rank. In this episode of the Triple Captains Podcast, we’re joined by FPL Salah to break down how to approach DGW33, including the key chip strategies and how to optimise your squad structure. Should you Free Hit into 11 doublers? Bench Boost with 15? Or trust a Wildcard setup with a m...

In this episode of the Triple Captains Podcast, we’re joined by Jonas Sand Labaak (FPL Overall Winner 2023/24) to break down how he approaches the most decisive phase of the season.

Blank Gameweeks in Fantasy Premier League can define your season — but only if you approach them with a clear strategy. In this episode of the Triple Captains Podcast, we break down how to attack a Blank Gameweek properly, balancing chips, hits, squad structure and game state. Do you prioritise getting 11 players out… or focus on owning the right quality assets? When is the right time to take hits...

Price tags matter in Fantasy Premier League — but not in the way most managers think. In this episode of the Triple Captains Podcast , we introduce a simple FPL value model and run a “value draft” to classify players into three buckets: overpriced, underpriced, and exactly right . The goal isn’t just identifying bargains — it’s understanding how role, minutes and routes to points create real value...

Some Fantasy Premier League advice spreads because it sounds clever — not because it improves your decision-making. In this episode of the Triple Captains Podcast, we stress-test some of the most repeated FPL rules of thumb and separate discipline from dogma. Is “never take hits” actually good strategy? Is “form over fixtures” a false debate? Does waiting for press conferences really protect you —...

In this episode of the Triple Captains Podcast, we step away from picks and predictions to examine something every FPL manager experiences — the Hindsight Tax. Fantasy Premier League GW28 strategy, captaincy psychology and decision-making frameworks are the focus of this episode. Why do decisions feel obvious after the deadline? Why do managers rewrite logic once points land? And how does hindsigh...

In this episode of the Triple Captains Podcast, we step away from chip mechanics and focus on what actually determines whether Triple Captain, Free Hit, and Wildcard decisions succeed or fail. Rather than telling you when to play your chips, this episode explores the conditions that make chip timing meaningful — and why so many managers burn chips emotionally, habitually, or too late. Building on...
