FPL 22/23 Okaaaaaaaaaay with Alon from FML FPL
As Pre Season draws ever closer we pick up with one half of one of the excellent FML FPL podcast, Alon. These boys are known for their ability to read the game of football, a fair bit of swearing and probably the strongest connection between pod hosts than any other out there. We'll be looking at pre season and how that impacts teams starting, if there are still any players going under the radar and how Alon will be shaping up for GW1. ===================================================================== This podcast is supported by @CryptoBlockDan on Twitter Dan is a personal friend of ours and has done very well in the crypto world, deciding to support our journey with this podcast.

FPL 22/23 - The FPL General
Mark "The FPL General" McGettigan joins us for a great chat about pre season, what he's thinking strategy wise how he's looking to approach the season. The word pedigree is Mark personified as he boasts (well not really he's quite humble) 3 top 500 OR finishes and he's looking to push on again this season to finish in the upper ranks once again. Loved this chat, genuinely a great guy. This was a great pod. ==================================================================== This podcast is supported by @CryptoBlockDan on Twitter Dan is a personal friend of ours and has done very well in the crypto world, deciding to support our journey with this podcast.

FPL 22/23 is Live | Initial Reaction & Discussing Analytics w/ @analytic_fpl
The game is live, Simon is liv-id....well maybe not that far, but when you get to the end you'll hear him say we managed to catch him on a particularly rant filled day. Makes for good content though :) What doesn't make for great content is a tech disaster, so this one is not quite up to scratch as normal (I'm on holiday, sorry...). Regardless, great chat with Simon with some very interesting conversation about the state of the game post launch, as well as how analytics can and should be used (as well as how they shouldn't).

Season 3 - Ready For The Launch? - w/@Reuser5
Season 3 baby, let's go! If you take anything from this podcast, you need to follow Ivan @Reuser5 on Twitter. It was an enlightening podcast as Ivan talked to us how he hasn't checked his rank for 3 seasons until GW38, for context he has recorded finishes of 170k, 28k and 12k in those three seasons. Trusting his ability to make the right decisions each week and not focusing on outcome. It's a great listen. We also go on to talk opening fixtures, captain options etc with the information or assumptions we are making on pricing and positions.

FPL GW31: The Early Take: All To Play For
FPL GW31 is mid-way through or most of the way through with just a couple of fixtures remaining. With what has happened so far this week it is clear it is all to play for in the Premier League and with 7 weeks still to play there are plenty of FPL points up for grabs. The main focus of this week is the Gameweek Review, GW32 is a standard gameweek (what's that...) and so more conversation about GW33 and beyond will be covered next week. Fantasy Football Fest is on the 22nd April and we have 2 tickets to give away, if you want to go to be in the draw you need to comment either below our Youtube video or on our Twitter post with the words "I want a ticket". We'll draw out the winners next week!

FPL Strategy: Finishing Strong GW31-GW38
We look at how best to finish strong with a focus on the big 6 teams and those with upcoming interesting doubles. Navigating the final GW's of the season can make the difference between dreaming or achieving that target rank finish, or winning that mini league!! We look at just how good the good teams are, and how bad the bad have through primarily xG and xGC data as well as referencing back to actual goals and clean sheets. How the top teams have managed rotation in the past as a guide to how they may approach this season. It's a good deep dive that answers the right questions, and not just the easy spoon fed answers some people want to hear. Hope you're all having a good break from FPL this week, this should get you back in the mood as we head in to GW31. ==================================================================== This podcast is supported by @CryptoBlockDan on Twitter Dan is a personal friend of ours and has done very well in the crypto world, deciding to support our journey with this podcast.

FPL GW29 - Eight Hundred and Seven...
Quite simply incredible, as much as it hurt us this week. 807 and 59 hat tricks. Jeez...it's just incredible the career that Ronaldo has had. We cover our usual (mid) GW review, not sure we'll get another end of GW review before the end of the season. We look back at how variance has impacted us so far season to date, how chips are looking for GW29 and then move swiftly on to plans for BGW30 with respect to whether you free hit or not. Some great guests coming up in the near future as we look to get Andy Martin, Sam Bonfield and the FPL General on the show soon! ==================================================================== This podcast is supported by @CryptoBlockDan on Twitter Dan is a personal friend of ours and has done very well in the crypto world, deciding to support our journey with this podcast.
