Fantasy Weekly

In this week's episode, Ben, Holly, James and Dave each host a quiz round for each other, with the winner going right down to the wire. Plus James is exposed as a mathematical fraud, Holly hasn't seen any films, Dave has seen too many films and Ben might be going slightly insane.

In this FPL-focused episode, we discuss some new updates regarding the potential conclusion of the season, before comprising our dream FPL squad. Ben gets real about the threat of coronavirus, Holly considers the implications of a behind-closed-doors scenario and Dave talks about whether Official FPL could've done better in handling this. Oh, and there's some controversy in the maths challenge! All of that, plus loads more, on Episode 62 of the Fantasy Weekly podcast.

In this week's tenuous excuse for recording a podcast, we ask the panel your questions. Ben, Dave and Holly share some of their most intimate secrets whilst James tries to keep some semblance of order. And fails. As always, this podcast is bought to you by Footstock.com.

In this unique episode of the Fantasy Weekly podcast, we discuss the implications of the coronavirus outbreak on Premier League clubs, players and, of course, FPL. We'll continue to release these podcasts recently and wish all of our listeners well!

In Episode 59 of the Fantasy Weekly podcast, Ben accidentally sets off his Alexa whilst talking about groinal injuries.

With James back from Italy and probably infection-free, the gang reconvene to look ahead to Gameweek 29. We discuss the once-popular Jamie Vardy and Danny Ings, as well as the new (but not that new) kid on the block, Ismaila Sarr. There’s also captaincy discussion, a Dinnery-monologue about Traore’s current condition, and plenty more to look forward to in Episode 58 of the Fantasy Weekly podcast.

With James battling Coronavirus in Italy, Dave takes the hosting reigns and welcomes special guest Ryan from FantasyYIRMA. The panel discuss the sacrifices we should be making ahead of Blank Gameweek 28, the Wolves assets we should be looking at, AND they discuss three teams whose fixtures are swinging more than one of Dave's house parties. All of that, plus loads more, on Episode 57 of the Fantasy Weekly podcast.

Though we continue to be stuck in the quicksand of Gameweek 26, the promise of Gameweek 27 on the horizon gives the panel plenty to talk about. We discuss the optimal front 3, team structure, Man City's topsy-turvy fixtures, the best Liverpool trio and plenty more, including a welcomed return to our captaincy discussion. It's all in Episode 56 of the Fantasy Weekly podcast.

Deep in the throngs of the Winter Break, the panel discuss some of the key talking points from the first weekend of fixtures. As a bonus (and because there aren’t that many talking points) we’ve interspersed our FPL chat with a quiz. The panel will be tested on their own digital footprint, their professions (or ex professions) and how well they know one another. Will it be Ben, Dave or Holly that takes the prize? Find out on Episode 55 of the Fantasy Weekly podcast.

It’s a very special episode of the Fantasy Weekly podcast as we reveal our new, mystery panelist. After that, it’s business as usual. We look ahead to Gameweek 26, touching on chip usage, Man City, Sadio Mane and Gameweek 26 captains. There’s also a double-quickfire round of your questions. All of that, plus loads more, on Episode 54 of the Fantasy Weekly podcast.

In Episode 53 of the Fantasy Weekly podcast, the panel dwell briefly on Gameweek 24 before pressing on and looking ahead to Gameweek 25. We discuss the renewed appeal of the premium forward, the merits of playing a Wildcard (and who we'd include in a Wildcard squad) and loads more. There's also a non-FPL announcement and James' audio finds a way to annoy the hell out of everyone once again.

Because of those pesky midweek fixtures we decided to live-stream ahead of Gameweek 24's deadline. Will the panel play their triple captains? If so, will it be Mo, Mane or someone completely different? Apologies for the sound quality on James' mic - he's on holiday and didn't pack a proper mic.

On this Episode of the Fantasy Weekly podcast, the panelists look ahead to Gameweek 23 with the likes of Watford and Southampton in their crosshairs. We also discuss whether triple Leicester is still a viable approach, the merits of an early Wildcard, more Pope replacements and, as always, Gameweek 23 captaincy.  All of that, plus loads more, in Episode 51 of the Fantasy Weekly podcast.

It's episode 50 of the Fantasy Weekly podcast! To celebrate what is a completely rudimentary milestone, we've made sure to be as dysfunctional and error-strewn as we usually are. James records from his phone with no notes, Holly turns into a robot and Mark plays games during the pod. You know it's panic stations when Dave is the most professional panelist on offer. We also talk Gameweek 22 captains, tripling up on Liverpool, budget forwards and whether it's the right time in the season to start playing more aggressively.  All of that, plus loads more, in Episode 50(!!) of the Fantasy Weekly podcast.

It's Christmas! The panel discuss the Boxing Day fixtures amongst Christmassy musings in the first ever Fantasy Weekly Christmas Special! What should we do with Son? Who should we captain for Gameweek 19? Is Ings essential? Whether you're basting the turkey, doing the washing up or slowly drinking yourself into a comatose state, join us this Christmas Day for fun, festivity and, of course, fantasy football. Merry Christmas!

The panel spend most of Episode 48 talking about two teams: Liverpool and Chelsea. Firstly, what do we do with our Liverpool assets ahead of the blank? We discuss what we’re doing with ours and the players we could be targeting as replacements. Next we move onto to Chelsea. Do we keep Abraham and Mount? Are Pulisic’ underlying stats good enough to keep the faith? Are there any viable replacements in that price bracket? We also answer loads of your questions, plus there’s some reflection on an incredibly messy Friday night in which we all met in person for the first time. All of that, plus loads more, on Episode 48 of the Fantasy Weekly podcast.

In Episode 47 of the Fantasy Weekly podcast, the panel put their heads together to tackle Gameweek 17 and beyond. What do we do with Kevin De Bruyne? Was Zaha a bad choice? Are Chelsea assets still worthy of the hype? Who would Mark most like to share a bed with out of James and Dave? All of these incredibly important questions - along with loads of yours - are answered this week.

With the fixtures more congested than a winter cold, we decided to live stream the latest podcast ahead of Gameweek 16. A word of caution: the quality of the sound on this podcast reflects the fact that we were live streaming. Apologies it's not up to our usual standards, but we had several requests to upload it as a pod. Enjoy!

The panel discuss loads of big talking points this week. Are Spurs assets viable under Mourinho? What should we do with Mount and Sterling? Should we be looking more seriously at the in form budget forwards? We also answer loads of your questions in a booster quickfire round and discuss our captaincy picks ahead of Gameweek 14.  All of that, plus loads more, in Episode 44 of the Fantasy Weekly podcast.

We owe this episode to the legendary Keven Bader, who stepped in last minute to produce this pod after Jack, our commander-in-chief, picked up a problem with his eye (kinda like Firmino, but instead of Jan Vertonghen it was a black Labrador). The panel talk about Gameweek 13 transfers, captaincy choices and our end-of-season targets. It's a good 'un.
