Drafting the Dregs

This week's pod kicks off with Gilby's management credentials for the newly vacated Newcastle United job. We think he's a pretty good chance given his Football Manager pedigree! The boy's go through their moments of the week where audible sobbing can be heard from Dave and Isaac, plus Gilby give his Waiver Wire Wrap-up to see who has improved their squad. Gilby is still in the lead with Isaac a close second, but down at the other end there are plenty of squad troubles. What can Mick do to improve his squad? Will anyone accept a trade from him that involves Sterling? Will he have more luck with this weeks Multi? Time will tell.

The countdown is on to GW8, so the boys discuss key injuries from the international break and which players might not make it on the pitch. Is Newcastle the next powerhouse and how should fans feel about the take over? The boys round-up all the trade speculations in the league. Will there be any new trades be next week? Not if Jeff keeps offering Jamie Tartt to every other manager. And the boys offer up their game of the week and a few bold predictions as to which player will score the most points!

We've cracked the ton! 100 listens is amazing, especially considering we're just a bunch of mates who like to talk draft fantasy EPL. Thanks for everyone who's been listening. There was a lot to talk about in this week's episode.  We look at some surprising clean sheets from GW8, dodgy goal and celebrations and discuss whether anyone actually know what Watford's logo and mascot are. Oh, and the fact they've chewed through another manager. We give a waiver wire summary, a league table wrap-up and begin to look at some of the trades that have been offered between managers. With the international break upon us, there is bound to be more trade speculation in the next pod!

In a game week where many fantasy managers struggled, we take a look at how a lack of points effected the boy's Draft League. Gilby and Isaac started GW6 on level points, but who came away with win? The boy's discuss their moments of the week and the fact that Mick put the mocker on almost everyone with his Multi (as planned). There was plenty of waiver action to discuss and a debate for a trade between managers Dan and Isaac.

This week the boys take a look at GW5, digging into just how successful (or not) the recent waivers were in a game week littered with rotation and shock results. They also take the time to analyse the top two draft picks for each manager. Which managers could be in trouble and which are sleeping giants?? Listen in to find out who has joined Gilby at the top of the league and to see whether Dan was able to climb off the bottom. And of course, we can't forget about Mick's Magnificent Mega Miracle Magic Multi, although you may want do the exact opposite!

In this weeks episode, the lads discuss GW5 and the state of their league. Gilby is still sitting pretty on top of the table, but with his lead being cut shorter and shorter, how will he look to improve his squad? Did Mick resisting Gilby's Ronaldo trade offers see him rocket up the leader board? And how are some of the other managers going? Who needs to take drastic measures? Plus, a trade offer made directly on the pod! All of this along with Mick's Magnificent Mega Magic Multi makes one heck of an episode!

Ep 5 has a few twist and turns! Being the second podcast over the international break the boys turn to the next game week. Gilby gives the latest on how the major fantasy assets have faired in the latest international games. The boys discuss the best waivers available in the free agency and even give some hints as to who they are picking up. Mick gives us another, much anticipated, Mick's Magic Mega Multi. But stay tuned for Gilby offering the kitchen sink to Mick for Ronaldo. Does he get the job done? Can he make Mick even consider giving up his brand new shiny thing? Listen to find out!

Are you as sad about the international break as we are? Well, take some time to listen as the boys sum up GW4. Did their predications come true? And more importantly, did Mick's Magic Multi pay off? There were some bold moves made leading into GW3. The boys analyse whether they paid off and if Gilby will be caught. And most importantly, who get's Ronaldo? Are is everyone happy about it? 

Were the boys on the mark with their GW2 predictions? How many times will Mick attempt to talk about West Brom? Can anybody catch Gilby? All will be answered in episode 3 as the boys discuss their squads and consider if changes are needed moving into GW3. Drop us a line on twitter - @Drafting_Dregs. Enjoy!

Have we peaked two episodes in? Probably not, but perhaps some of the squads in our Draft League have! Listen in for a break down of the matches in GW1, as the boys dissect each squad and reveal the league order. Is anyone out of the race already? And which game will Mick have to stay up for and watch in the middle of the night? All will be revealed!
