Wildcard Success!
Top of all content creators!! Well Baker was, in the gameweek, not the pod....but still it counts. Join us as we do our normal review of the week just gone, and look at the good, bad and the ugly of the coming weeks. BruNO is possible, but not No-hamed Salah Just captain Kane... Long GW ahead Take your time to prepare for this week mentally guys, 7 days of ups and downs with not many games on any given day. And ffs no posting GW ranks every day. Good luck for the next one!

WILDCARD ACTIVE
Baker hits the wildcard button! Join us as we do our normal review of the week just gone, and probably let Chelsea off the hook and then dive in to Baker's thoughts for wildcard week. Power midfield required? How to triple up on Liverpool...or Leicester? Captain choices for the rest of the season (spoiler.... it's basically Kane and Salah lol) CY's transfer error (doh!) Tough week for captaincy this week, but fixtures have now swung and the SC is active all over the place. Going to be an interesting few weeks. Good luck for the next one!

Preparing for the Home Stretch
We reflect on a week off and look at how we are going to attack the home stretch. Plenty of good discussion with focus on the next few GW's given that 34 onwards is still mostly unknown. CY is out of chips so navigating the next few weeks carefully to get the most out of the run in. Baker on a one week punt before the Wildcard comes out. Shoutout to everyone again for listening. 2700 downloads! Amazing stuff. We appreciate you all. Good luck for next week guys!

FPL Merch Returns - BGW
Low scores all round on the pod this week but it was great to get Ross (@FPLMerch) back on to get his views on GW29. Took a deep dive in to the fixtures this week coming and how to best approach it primarily from a free hit perspective, but also protecting rank through hits (for those mini league masters). Fulham v Leeds - could be open, is Bamford going to play? West Ham v Arsenal - Cresswell a bonus magnet, Arsenal with low headed chances conceded...stalemate? Brighton v Newcas....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz - but CY has Maupay with the armband on Villa v Spurs - Son affecting Spurs counter, all out attack vs Martinez at the back. Please follow @FPLMerch on Twitter and shout outs also go to @fpl_workoutclub (Joe), @ThatFPLLounge (Lama), @FPLBhuna (Bhuna...) and the guys at @FPLPlonker. Good luck for next week guys!

Kane Kane Kane Kane Kane (and a bit of other stuff...)
Another anti climactic gameweek, with the BruNO crowd getting theirs. Also....why do we chase these stupid double gameweeks when the answer is staring at us in the face all along. Small green arrows again (probably)... Kane Kane Kane Kane Some other players, maybe Auba, Mount? Kane Kane Kane If you're unsure who to captain for GW28 - see above... There is some other content in there, we promise! Good luck for next week guys!

The Big Anticlimax
Well, if you didn't get between 85-100 then what were you doing? We talk through one of the most uninspiring DGW's we've seen, trying to take some positives from it all. We did get green arrows after all... Time to move off Bruno? Chelsea the new City *defensively* ? Barnes replacements. Cameo at the end for GB9. Good luck for next week guys!

Above Average Grey Arrows
Standard off the cuff work from us again this week with our mate Jack joining us from the dizzy heights of the top 10k (ish). We're getting less and less structure by the GW, a bit of fatigue setting in all round but we still grabbed some key takeaways, highlighting the thought processes over the next few weeks even without fixture announcements.

GW23 Review
A detailed review of GW23 as we can really only (clearly) look 1 week in front of us at the minute. That said, we did discuss possible fixtures as well as we look forward, but it's tough all round. European fixtures incoming to throw further chaos in to the mix. Apologies for any audio issues this week, will try to sort for next week!

The One with FPLShark
We were joined this week by Garth (FPLShark) who is UK born living it up in Canada doing the early shift to keep his rank up high. Garth talks us through his data overload and technical eye test (as a football coach) and how overcoming his bias has rocketed his OR. The man wants to win it, we couldn't find any reasons to go against that. A great chat for sure. In other news... CY was begrudging bad decisions gone by, whether it was Abraham, Maddison or for some reason not having Stones and going with Cancelo/Dias despite the entirety of FPL Twitter going with Stones plus one of those two. A bit more laid back approach but also some good thoughts for the weeks ahead. Is Zaha the prime KDB replacement?

GW17 Review - Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to you all. I think we can all agree 2020 will go in to the history books for all the wrong reasons, not least because Liverpool won the league... In all seriousness we're back amongst it after a small hiatus over the festive period, we promised content and didn't deliver (apologies). Just like CY's team over the same timescale. This week we talk primarily BGW / DGW and chip usage as will as discussions over fixture congestion with the Euros coming. Also we cover the GW just gone. Would the FA cancel the FA Cup??!!??
