    Midweek Mayhem | Gameweek 27

    Tom & Sam are pressed into action earlier than they thought this week, with a set of midweek fixtures meaning we’ve got a Sunday night pod to put together squarely to focus on the fixtures less than 48 hours away!


    This means a shorter pod (we always say this!), starting with a reflection on the Assistant Manager chip with both of ours now spent. Then, the usual preview elements of the Kneejerk, best transfers and captains and bold claims – bookended by our gameweek updates and plans for the week ahead.

    Go Cunha/Mateta? | Gameweek 26

    In a brief respite from the doubles onslaught, Tom & Sam are back to discuss what the future holds for FPL managers’ transfer strategies as blank gameweek 29 looms large in our thoughts. Do we get funneled into picking from a small, similar pool of players? Or are there any advantages to be had in thinking outside of the box?

     

    Plus in our Gameweek 26 preview, Tom gives an analysis of Omar Marmoush's FPL prospects, Assistant Manager last stands, best captains in quite a dreary looking week, bold claims and our teams for the week ahead.

    Panic Stations! | Double Gameweek 25

    This week, we’ve got an interim Gameweek pod as DGW24 stretches through two sets of vitally important fixtures for FPL managers – the next FA Cup round and the Carabao Cup semi finals.

     

    Tom & Sam assess the wreckage after many managers veered suddenly off course due to the Friday chaos grenade that Gameweek 25 was suddenly a double gameweek, and look at how the rest of the calendar now, probably, is shaping up.

     

    Plus – the Vanilla Awards for 2024/5! As we head into chip season, we look back at the season thus far and analyse how teams and players have performed in the part of the season prior to everything going wild.

    Double Vision | Double Gameweek 24

    We focus squarely on the upcoming double this week, as Sam & Tom spend time poring over the options and ask: how many eggs are we putting into this particular double gameweek basket? 🪺

     

    Plus, as our main section is the preview, we'll talk more widely about upcoming weeks towards the end - in particular, any further ideas for the GW25-8 period before the upcoming blank in 29 and any other business 🤝

    The Wood Through The Trees | Gameweek 22

    Following an eventful FA Cup weekend break for the Premier League, FPL came back with a vengeance in midweek. Due to the quick turnaround between Gameweeks, Tom & Sam focus squarely on the preview for the weekend on the show today.

     

    On the menu today, we ponder the wisdom of holding a misfiring player who might have good underlying numbers (aka Nico Jackson) versus selling off for an overperforming on (aka Chris Wood), and the usual other features in terms of best transfers and best captains for the weekend ahead, plus update on bold claims.

    Getting Effectively Owned | Gameweek 21

    The frantic festive period in fantasy football came to an end this weekend with a typically rollercoaster final week. Tom & Sam are back to assess the outcomes and look ahead to the business end of the season in our new Tuesday slot!

     

    This time, we zero in on the specter haunting FPL managers week to week: effective ownership. We ask: how does it affect our gameplay at different times, and indeed whether we should pay any attention to it at all?

     

    Plus in the Gameweek ahead previews, there’s lots of information to come with cup ties galore before the next Premier League matchday but there’s still the usual roster of the Kneejerk (this week: do we back our horses or chop and change in the edge piece positions?), best transfers, bold claims and, finally, a bit of actual discussion in best captains this time around.

    New Year, New Fortunes | Gameweek 20

    Happy new year and welcome to WGTA 2025!

     

    Sam & Tom start the year with the festive fixture run nearing its conclusion, with a show on new year’s day!

     

    This week, with Mo Salah smashing through the 200 Club barrier in record time, we take a moment to bow down to the Egyptian king while also spending time nominating who else of the current crop of FPL players we’d back to join the Liverpool talisman beyond 200 points this season.

     

    Plus we look ahead to the final weekend of the frantic festive fantasy football period, discussing Forest in the kneejerk, other top transfers and our bold claims. And best captain summed up in one word.


    Then it's onto this week's teams, and a bit of an advice clinic for Tom as Doctor Sam looks at the options available!
