Association Fantasy Football Cast United — FPL Pod

OK the audio is superbad not because Charlie went on vacation to a beach during the week it is going to snow but because Rocky shrunk Derek and is keeping him in an empty water glass. Seriously a real difficult listen so here's the long/short: Bamford's doing good but isn't sustainable. captain Kane, we're all sleeping on Mendy as a goalie, one of us looks good with a shirt off.

This week Rocky and Charlie are flying sans-Durno as we discuss Jordan Pickford trying to murder a man, Gareth Bale bringing a -3 goal differential to Spurs and all the FPL picks for the upcoming gameweek. Plus we lament the demise of dry beer, whatever the heck that was anyways.

There may have been an international break, but don't think that Charlie was going to forget about the thrashing Derek's United and Rocky's Liverpool teams received recently. We talk about how dirty we feel owning multiple Everton strikers, the effect Bale will have on Spurs, a pen specialist and hip phrases the kids use that we despise because we're grizzled old men.

Hey! Who wants to talk about the nitty gritty of what and what is not a handball? Nobody? GOOD! Let us never mention it again. Instead we talk about when we're going to return to watch sports in person, Mr. Vardy, the lack of clean sheets and the Rocky's terrible nicknames for both players and teams. It's become a real problem.

This week the friendship between the boys is on the rocks, but the FPL picks are FIRE! We talk about Leeds' scoring prowess, Gareth Bale coming into the league (and already being injured) and we even shine a little love on Everton. Plus we reminisce about the bad alcohol we consumed as youths and Derek nearly cries when discussing United's ineptitude last week.

Derek is winning our mini league. Yes, it's only one week in, but this has never happened before! Derek is in first place! We talk about all of our regrets after one week, the players we want to give up on, the insane amount of money we're allocating to midfield and we even get an appearance from Mr. Rakovic! Big week, friends. Big week. WE'RE BACK

It's time! It's finally time! We go over how we built our lineups for one of the strangest first weeks of the season ever. Some of the biggest names in FPL—KDB, Bruno, Sterling, Luke Shaw (LOL)—won't be cracking out lineups thanks to their off week. What are we going to do? Panic? Definitely. But we're also going to get creative.

Get ready for a hell of a ride... it's the AFFCU FPL PREVIEW! In this pod we talk about players that we think are going to be a good value, who we're excited about making their premier league debut, Charlie thinks that Roma plays in the Bundesliga because he's had a few drinks and we start to figure out who will be in our opening day lineups.

It's the final week of the season AND it's free hit week! All three of us saved our free hit for this week, and we've got it all figured out. Or it will blow up in our faces, as it has so many times before. All that plus which song makes us the saddest, a lament over having to deal with West Brom next year and a whole lot more!

This is the penultimate week of the season, friends. Get ready to play any remaining chips, go all in on Burnley's defense, and maybe pick up Harry Kane? OK, that last part might be a little too crazy, but it's time to go for broke. Plus, the boys discuss their favorite animals.

What a weird slate of games we had. Luckily all three of us tripled captained Antonio... Only three weeks left! It's time to get crazy, play those chips and go for differentials. We talk about replacing Soyuncu, Leicester City in freefall, hating strikers and our favorite numbers.

Another super quick turnaround! Listen to us at triple speed so you can get your picks in on time! We talk United assets, ditching our favorite keeper, what we miss about summer and Charlie tries his hardest to avoid thinking about Spurs. Plus, BEDKNOBS AND BROOMSTICKS!

It's a super quick turnaround once again. This week we heap praise upon Derek for his triple captain shout at Fernandes, we heap scorn upon Derek for not liking movies and we agree upon Ross Barkley still being garbage. Plus draft picks, captain picks and a whole lot more.

After a wild and high scoring week across FPL, the boys are back with some more advice. We talk about our favorite sandwiches, jump ship from Leicester as quickly as we can and we make a very bold captain pick. VERY BOLD.

Ugh. This is the pod we've all dreaded, the Liverpool championship pod. Gross. But... it leaves us with some very interesting FPL quandaries. We talk about Wolves defenders, yell about Martial's big game and a whole lot more!

Isn't it nice to be back and furious about a major player, in this case Salah, sitting on the bench? We think so. This week Charlie runs rampant with the mute button, we talk about wild carding, we grow sick and tired of Aubas crap performances and talk Liverpool's lackluster return, plus a whole lot more.

The Premier League is coming back, so you know what that means—the triumphant return of the world's second best fantasy premier league podcast! There's a lot to catch up on, not to mention how awkward it is to try and do a podcast via Zoom when you haven't seen your friends in months. We talk about the unlimited transfers prior to the June 17th, what looks to be the only double game week remaining...

This week Charlie and Rocky contemplate the mysterious illness that has befallen Derek, freak out about the possibility of the season being canceled and pay a lot of attention to that blank week 31 and the not so great options it leaves managers.

The boys are feisty this week, and who can blame them? It's the first DOUBLE GAME WEEK of the year! We talk Arsenal/Manchester City assets, Wolves assets and Rocky goes on and on and on about how he thinks he's a hot girl. It's... unseemly. But fun!

Friday start! Blank week! Mass hysteria! This week Charlie and Rocky lament Durno finding new friends, discuss why we AREN'T using our free hit just yet, argue over Liverpool assets and gush about a certain United player. We also part ways with a beloved old friend. Give it a listen!

Gameweek 26 has to end at some point, right? The boys start off down a man, like Manchester United should have been for most of the Chelsea game. But then things heat up when the super sub arrives and we discuss which Wolves we're particularly keen on, what to do with a dismal selection of strikers and prepare for next week's blanks.

This week we talk about the aggressively strange Gameweek 26. Two weeks. Each game alone in its time slot. ALL OF THEM ON TV. It's gonna rule. We talk about some of the new talents who arrived in the transfer window, the absolute hell schedule laying in front of Everton and the sports deaths that stuck with us the most. Then something horrible happened in another sport and everything went off the...

We're doing double duty this week, covering Gameweeks 23 and 24. Game week 24 happens to be a double Gameweek for Liverpool. So you might say this episode is a double double, AFFCU style. We figure out which three Liverpool players to have going into 24, lament the stupidity of Auba, talk about our favorite sports movie characters and gush over a player who has gained a grand total of 2 FPL points...

Finally, the pod has come back! This week we look ahead to Gameweek 22 with a little preview of our plans for the first double game week of the year (GW24), discuss our FPL Resolutions, talk over each other a ton and throw some love to Everton. No, seriously, we do say positive things about Everton. Things are wacky in 2020.

Weird week this week, friends. West Ham and Pool are blank so there's a lot of juggling to do. There isn't a clear cut captain, so again, a lot of big choices to be made. We go over all of this, plus the Christmas traditions we hate the most, Adama Traore's thighs and a whole lot more!
