Attack Of The Casuals - GW8 Preview
Something a bit different this week as we were joined by three casual friends of ours (in FPL terms) who are all beating us so far this season.

GW5 - FPL Highs vs Real Fan Lows...
A real mixed bag watching Tottenham lose a three goal lead in the final 8 minutes only helped by the fact we had Kane and Son between us. Not our most structured effort this week but some good conversation on defensive mindset, albeit not the most exciting part of the FPL game, but could be key to differentiate yourselves from the rest. GW6 is just around the corner, good luck! Support the show Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

A fantastic chat with Will Turner on his journey to 3rd place in the world.
