Who Got The Assist? FPL Podcast

It’s the final WGTA of 2025/26 before we break for summer. Tom & Sam are in to review their Gameweek 38s and their own seasons – what went well what didn’t? – before launching into an analysis of the 2025/26 season in classic WGTA style. Looking at the data, we evaluate points scoring in #FantasyPremierLeague this year and how underperforming premiums – who may be a fading force in FPL – and DefCo...

Ahead of the final day, Sam and Tom are in to look over the fixture list, do the usual last day ritual walk down memory lane, and pick out some players who might be on the menu as last gasp punts for those chasing. Plus the finale of the one week punt and the last captaincy discussion of the season before we unveil our probable final sides. We'll be back one more time this season next week to wrap...

Sam's joined by Tom back from paternity leave to preview the last-but-one #fantasypremierleague gameweek as we try to spot players who'll give managers that final push 🫸🏻 Which Arsenal picks are the best? Which other games might we target players in? And how might that differ depending on your FT situation? Plus our regulars: #fantasyfootball captaincy - quite a tough one this week - and one wee...

Sam is joined by Mo in Tom's absence this week, as we delve into the final Double Gameweek of the #FPL season. But the key question is, is it anything to actually get excited about? We preview DGW36, which (if any) Palace players are worth the punt for #fantasypremierleague managers, or are there some more appealing options outside of those with the Double. With chips left on the table, are we wor...

Sam & Tom continue the meta discussions on a week where many WC32ers (we'll get to WC35, don't worry!) are set for gameweek, this time focusing on how #fantasypremierleague premium assets have perhaps failed to perform this year and if it's a one off or a start of a wider trend. Then it's into previewing the weekend of #fantasyfootball, with WC35 picks and transfer targets analysed to understand w...

As a - rather successful, thanks to Brighton defence! - #FPL bench boost week comes to its conclusion, Sam & Tom are in to paradoxically figure out if it's time for #fantasypremierleague to sunset the chip in favour of a shakeup. Press conferences also don't escape our scrutiny, as the lack of information regarding Joao Pedro sticks in the craw for many #fantasyfootball managers. Then it's the reg...

Sam & Tom return post wildcarding into near-identical teams to preview the #fantasypremierleague double gameweek 33 to come - the biggest of the year - to run the rule over our set teams as well as discuss free hit and alternative picks for those using other chips (FH, WC) or none at all going into the weekend. Plus the usual one week punts and our #fantasyfootball captain for the weekend (erm, Ha...

After a very long break, Sam & Tom are back as we finally know the FA Cup semi finalists and therefore the identity of teams doubling in #fantasypremierleague DGW33 and blanking in BGW34. We update on that, and run through some potential approaches you may take depending on your chip situation, with the main routes discussed. And how worried should you be if you've taken a route less travelled? Pl...

WGTA are joined by special guest Tom Campbell for a more "zoomed out" episode as we lurch into a 3 week break from #fantasyfootball. In this edition, we run the rule over the runners and riders for the fabled 200 Club, asking who might make it beyond the velvet ropes this year. We also discuss our impressions of what's gone on with #fantasypremierleague generally this year. DefCons have changed th...

Ahead of the much publicised blank 31, and also the beginning of the #fantasypremierleague end game for this season, Tom and Sam run through the possibilities for this week depending on where you are with your chips - with uncertainties (which we’ll mention) still hanging over one game still next weekend. We caution against wildcarding immediately when the game reopens look at the #fantasyfootball...

Following the FA cup results Sam & Tom are in to look figure out what the results mean for those all important #fantasypremierleague blanks and doubles given what we know so far. Plus a quick look at how European turnarounds may affect the transfer decisions of many a #fantasyfootball manager ahead of the weekend. Additionally, with the upcoming blank gameweek 31 in our sights, we profile a few sh...

A Sunday night pod awaits for Tom & Sam as the midweek #fantasypremierleague Gameweek 29 hares into view due to the FA Cup 5th round taking place next weekend. Due to the rapid turnaround, on the agenda this time it’s a straightforward affair – and maybe a shorter edition – as our running order takes in our Gameweek 28 results, what our intentions are with doubts swirling over Erling Haaland’s fit...

Sam & Tom are in to focus ahead again , as we build on last week's chat on the template shift to drill down into the key midfielder picks getting #fantasyfootball managers excited as the meta shifts again. With a focus on gearing up for blank gameweek 31, which of these - over the next 4 - do we prefer as part and parcel of our #fantasypremierleague midfield makeup? Plus in form vs fixtures, some...

Sam & Tom are in recording during the final game of #fantasypremierleague #dgw26, so cheering or wincing during the stream is likely! We'll be looking ahead to #gw27, as many #fantasyfootball managers probably are after a below average double, and asking what shifts we've already seen to the template (causing the pain!) and anticipating how we'll start to gear up for the blank in 31. Plus a small...

Join Tom – and some voicenotes from Sam! – for a brief solo pod talking through how we did in 25 and some plans for #fantasypremierleague double gameweek 26. With most of us set for Arsenal players, eyes turn to two follow up questions: do we triple captain Gabriel? And who else do we look at this #fantasyfootball gameweek? Plus an update on one week punt and our plans for the week ahead. Short on...

Join Sam & Tom, who'll be live as the second half of EFL semi final between Arsenal and Chelsea plays out behind them - telling us who of the two has a #fantasypremierleague double gameweek 26! As a result, we'll try to leave off definitive chat as long as possible, instead focusing on our results from #fpl gameweek 25, a transfer window roundup, and a short chat about 50/50s and a refresher on ho...

Sam and Tom are in slightly earlier (due to work commitments) for this week's WGTA, as we first off try to make sense of the mad events between 10:49-11:00am on Saturday morning after the leak that Haaland and Foden weren't starting for City. We chat about what we did, how we felt and ultimately how that - thankfully, now rare - event can get the goat of even the most seasoned #fantasypremierleagu...

After a less than ideal weekend of #FPL, Sam and Tom are in to preview both the upcoming #fantasypremierleagye gameweek and to expand on the upcoming fixture swing highlighted last time out: which are the teams and players to keep an eye on, and why is Bruno Fernandes a must own in #fantasyfootball? Plus a form Vs fixtures based on those swings, captaincy corner - a quiet one - and one week punts...

The hectic festive period ends as we #fpl managers enter a period of transition between that and the fixture swing and incoming chip season to come as we come to the cusp of the business end to the #fantasyfootball season. Tom & Sam look over the potential forecast for the next little while, with Sam explaining the picture for chips and giving some possible dates and routes for us to consider. And...

Happy new year! Tom & Sam kick off WGTA 2026, returning after a couple of gameweeks within which Gabriel's return shook the #fantasyfootball template as we passed the halfway point in the season 🤯 This week, we're still in quick turnaround mode - catching up with all of the #fantasyfootball goings on we missed during our week off, picking out key men in Form Vs Fixtures to consider as we get out...

It's the final WGTA of 2025, coming to you on a Saturday night with Tom and Sam in the midst of a hectic #fantasypremierleague - and real life! - schedule 🤯🗓️ This week, we look ahead at the next two quick turnaround weeks and figure out how the template might move, if #fantasyfootball transfer targets coming into good fixtures like Man Utd and Newcastle assets are still worth it, and reiterate o...

After an eventful weekend of triple captaincy successes (not ours), an emerging Christmas saviour in Ekitike aka Palindrome and a big injury for Bruno Fernandes, Tom & Sam once more don our Christmas jumpers to try assess the fallout in our penultimate pod of 2025 ☃️ It's teams in red and players who might be in the red zone in focus this week, as we tackle both #fantasyfootball managers' conundru...

Sam & Tom are joined by FPL General to preview both #fantasyfootball GW17 and the upcoming late December calendar in our annual festive edition! We discuss the mad schedule in the most wonderful time of year for #fantasyfootball managers, identify the kind of player we'd like Santa Claus to leave us in our stocking, talk player photos on previews, go through the Christmas shopping list in Form Vs...

Off the back of Bruno Fernandes magicking them a #fantasyfootball green arrow out of what was looking like a disaster, Sam and Tom are buoyed and in high spirits as we get given our 5FTs due to Afcon and wonder how to spend them 🤔 This episode, we take a look through the popular ins and outs in #fantasypremierleague transfers (e.g.g Bruno in, Mateta out) and analyse if they're moves with merit -...

Tom & Sam reconvene midway through a #fantasyfootball gameweek to bring you another quick dip into the world of #fantasypremierleague as yet another deadline approaches. This time, we focus on potential uses for managers’ FT(s) as we encounter a fairly unique “use it or lose it” situation with them as we reach the feted Afcon Free Transfer refresh, putting managers all up to 5FTs simultaneously. D...
