Waiting On the Bonus Points comes to an emotional close in this final farewell episode.
We got the band back together for the finale as Mr Emotional Beren Cross returned one last time after an impressive Free Hit score in Blank Gameweek 35.

Gut man Jak Ball and Stat man David Munday took the opportunity to reveal what their plans are for the season run-in including the best time to deploy their remaining chips.

But the main focus for this final episode was a look back at our personal highlights of recording this podcast this season.

We also give you our listeners a special tribute for helping this podcast become such a success. We can’t thank you enough for your support!

Our Fantasy Premier League managers discuss two different approaches to Blank Gameweek 35 in our latest podcast.
We have decided to record in two legs (a la Champions League) this week, while we sit at the Double Gameweek 34 half-way stage.

David and Jak discuss how their teams are getting on so far with both the Triple Captain and Bench Boost still in play for them.

But the key discussion topic this week was how to plan for Blank Gameweek 35, with a specific look at the sides who have played their single DGW34 fixture already.

More importantly, David tells us what his Free Hit squad might look like while Jak explains his approach to BGW35 and the rest of the season because he has no such chip to fall back on.

The big double gameweek questions dominate are thinking on the latest episode.
In particular we assess which of the FPL chips could make the biggest difference for you in DGW34.

The Bench Boost, Triple Captain and Free Hit all have their merits, but which one will David or Jak go for?

Whether or not Harry Kane is an essential asset for DGW34 and which Manchester United player is the best to own were two other debates we look to settle.

That and the little matter of Jak's anger over Kane having his "goal" at Stoke chalked off.

To Kane or not to Kane? That is the question ahead of Spurs' trip to Stoke in Gameweek 33.
The talismanic striker Sir Harold returned way ahead of schedule in Gameweek 32 and has both David and Jak worried about getting him back.

We discuss whether it's worth breaking even a Wildcard team to transfer him in as well as the future of Roberto Firmino and Chelsea players in our team.

The latest assist controversy, involving Son Heung-min and Skhodran Mustafi, got given some well-earned air time with Jak particularly unhappy!

Waiting On the Bonus Points discusses the best time to Wildcard as the FPL community debates the pros and cons of Gameweek 32 and 33.
Our own bosses David Munday and Jak Ball pick out some of the most essential players to include on the Wildcard for those playing it this week and answer some of your questions.

Anyone with queries over Manchester City post-title win, whether to include Roberto Firmino for much longer and the best Leicester player to have, Jamie Vardy or Riyad Mahrez will hopefully find this week's episode helpful!

Blank Gameweek 31 also gets a thorough review after Free Hitters enjoyed their biggest green arrows of the season.

Have a listen to see if we gave you the manager of the week award!

Whether or not you should sign players who don’t have a fixture in the next gameweek is a subject of discussion on Waiting On the Bonus Points this week.
Some FPL managers have been transferring in the likes of Son Heung-min, Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford for Gameweek 31, despite the fact that they will not play – because of their involvement in the FA Cup.

With discussions about how to plan for the upcoming blank and double gameweeks without Wildcard and Free Hit chips, David and Jak speculate if this is how some managers are future-proofing their squads.

Our very small of players eligible to be signed in Blank Gameweek 31 increases slightly this week after some differentials emerged in Gameweek 30.

That means David and Jak have been able to update their very unreliable-looking BGW31 squad.

With injuries to Sergio Aguero and Harry Kane we also look ahead at some potential long-term replacements for them if they end up sidelined permanently.

Our Fantasy Premier League podcast 'Waiting On the Bonus Points' returned this week after a short hiatus - and it's finally time to talk about 'Chip season'.
How to ensure you have a decent team playing in blank Gameweek 31 was our big talking point as FPL bosses work out how to navigate the peaks and troughs of the next few weeks, particularly with their GW30 transfers in mind.

If you've still got all your chips left then David's advice will help you work out when to play them.

But those of you with only a few of them left can benefit from hearing how Jak will play out the rest of the campaign, because he's in the same boat as you. 

GW31 is proving particularly problematic considering that there seem to be very few avenues for investment, so David and Jak combine forces in an attempt to name a starting XI for it and in what order you should sign those players.

As people continue to sign Mohamed Salah even at this late stage of the campaign, we assess whether or not it's too late to bring him in if you haven't done already.

Mohamed Salah punished our podcasters again this week by delivering in another big game.
Which got us wondering why the Egyptian has not been our captain more often this season.

Guest star Tom Cantle from Who Got the Assist? delved into the psychology of picking a captain while host David Munday bemoaned his poor form when it comes to skippers this season.

Jak took on another forfeit after recording his lowest net score of the whole campaign and we checked in on how the January transfer window and deadline day signings have settled in ahead as we look towards the final run in of 2017/18.

Sergio Aguero made all the difference in GW25 as our latest forfeit got swung right at the dead.
In Beren's final episode we discuss the transfer deadline dealings and whether or not they will affect our FPL plans for the future.

Cheap budget strikers get another look as Jordan Ayew and Callum Wilson both make their case for inclusion going forward.

And we solve the puzzle of which Manchester United attacker should be in your side both for the upcoming Huddersfield Town game and long-term.

We finish this farewell episode for Beren with the most dramatic Friday Night Deadline Quiz in the history of the show. It's got everything, chips galore, late drama and bags of emotion! For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy

Sergio Aguero propels himself back into the FPL discussions after his hat-trick against Newcastle in GW25 - and our managers have mixed opinions on him.
Harry Kane's tricky fixtures have many an FPL boss considering the next #Kanexit movement and David, Beren and Jak revealed where they sit on that particular debate.

Despite David suffering some horrendous bad luck with Chelsea's troll-jobs Eden Trollard and Andreas Christentroll, he ended up dodging a bullet as Liverpool were beaten at Swansea.

So Beren takes on a familiar forfeit having finished GW24 with just 46 points.

Alexis Sanchez grabs himself some air-time as the community considers tearing up their teams to get him in.

We also take a look at the movers and shakers in the Herald's mini-league. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy

On this week’s show we discuss the increased need to wait a little longer before making your transfers during the January transfer window.
A lot of FPL bosses like to try and beat the price rises in order to assemble a more expensive squad but when the transfer window is open, things can change much more quickly.

Our podcasters David Munday, Beren Cross and Jak Ball toyed with the pros and cons of waiting until after the press conferences at this time of year and whether or not you should too.

Elsewhere, there was severe GW23 disappointment for David who takes on his first musical forfeit of the season in this episode, and contemplates his first defeat since early December.

We’ve got an exciting new feature in our quiz too so dive into the latest episode of Waiting On the Bonus Points!
