FPL Lounge

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our GW18 Preview of the 24/25 season!

A these days lesser-spotted player appearing on the CENTRE of this week's radar, with a couple of new, affordable fringe additions too.

No interesting tides on the horizon this week, but who doesn't love a festive helping of honey - the lads have their traps out again.

Captaincy looks obvious... doesn't it? And with a festive scheduled more deeply filled than your aunty's mince pies, no time for a Who The Heck is Stat this GW - but back soon!

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our GW17 Preview of the 24/25 season!

The radar features a few that remain from previous weeks, with the addition of a rare double-up defence, and an in-form striker.

The lads again swim against the tide, going against a very affordable midfielder who's caught the eye recently but whose underlying data flatters to deceive. A mixed bag in the captaincy segment follows.

They finish, as ever, with a little game they like to call Who The Heck Is Stat?!

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our GW16 Preview of the 24/25 season!

Plenty of chat on the radar too, with multiple new additions and equally lengthy conversations about those that didn't quite make it.

A tentative swim against the tide follows, with a budget striker seeing a lot of sales despite a strong start to the season, while the four premium players in the game are discussed in the captaincy segment, with a focus on two in particular.

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our GW15 Preview of the 24/25 season!

Their radar this week is not blasting out many strong signals, with the only options appearing on the fringe. Towards the end, the lads discuss why so few assets beyond the premiums are making a mark at the moment.

A couple of strikers, and a set of defenders are catching the eye.

With nothing yet to swim against it means the return of the honey traps - where will the goals be this gameweek? Captaincy again has many viable options this gameweek and the lads go over the pros and cons.

After another missed pod (sorry folks) in GW13, the lads are back for the first midweek GW of the season, GW14.

Their radar features a player on the centre, and one on the mid-range, with three on the fringe including a rare goalkeeper selection - if he can keep his place after a drubbing at the weekend.

They swim against the tide with a player neither Andy nor Chris can get on board with, while the captaincy conversation involves four or five players with reasonable haul potential this GW.

They finish by resuming the low-scoring season of Who The Heck Is Stat?!

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our GW12 Preview of the 24/25 season!

After taking a short break due to technical issues and holiday commitments (plus an international break) the lads are back with a GW12 preview and a look ahead towards Christmas.

A light radar still manages to include two premium assets with great fixture runs, yet middling underlying numbers, and a pricey (but not Premium) forward in very good form.

They return with a double swimming against the tide, opposing the FPL groupthink on two players (including one from Andy's beloved Man Utd), before assessing the captaincy options - for which Haaland doesn't seem the principle candidate this week.

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our GW9 Preview of the 24/25 season!

A shortened show this week means the lads delve straight into the players on their radar.

Captaincy follows with an interesting dilemma for FPL managers. 3 blanks in a row for Haaland and City looking off it - but some of the highest projected goals ever for them this GW. The lads discuss the pros and cons.

Who The Heck Is Stat is on a break for a couple of weeks as Chris jets off round the world - which may be for the best given how the lads are getting on this season! It will be back with a vengeance once Chris is back in good ol' Blighty later in the season though.

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our GW8 Preview of the 24/25 season!

Back from the international break, the lads start by going over the big non-FPL related news: Thomas Tuchel's appointment as England manager. They also look at any big injuries and late returns from the international fixtures.

No swimming against the tide this week, so the lads try to catch each other in their honey traps, where contrasting approaches make for some spicy traps. Captaincy feels like the first incredibly obvious choice of the season.

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our GW7 Preview of the 24/25 season!

As is often the case, the lads start by considering the impacts of midweek European action on FPL.

A huge, and possibly controversial tide to swim against this week but the lads take it on like prime Baywatch Hasselhoff. Followed by a far more routine captaincy discussion

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our GW6 Preview of the 24/25 season!

Back to a normal length pod after a shorter one last week, the lads start by discussing the minutes and team in midweek action, including a poor result for Andy's Man United in the Europa League and plenty of rotation in the EFL cup.

It's teh first honey trap of the season, and both Andy and Chris go down a very similar route with it, before discussing whether Haaland should be perma-captain for now.
