Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! Join Andy & Chris for their series of season preview podcasts, the FPL Lounge Long Weekend. In this final of four episodes ahead of the 2023/24 season, they'll be looking at Forwards. 

With only two 'premium' forwards in the game this year, how irresistible is Erling Haaland? Can managers survive without him? Is there a way to own both him and Kane? The lads try to answer all these questions.

There are only two mid-priced options from £7.0-8.5m that appeal to Andy & Chris, although they acknowledge that others could come to the fore if their minutes are more guaranteed. There's plenty of intrigue in the budget options, though, including a possible Brighton forward on penalties and Brentford's Ivan Toney replacement.

That's a wrap for the Long Weekend; next up is the GW1 Preview, due to be recorded Wednesday and with you by Thursday. Don't forget to follow the lads on twitter and instagram @FPL_Lounge.

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! Join Andy & Chris for their series of season preview podcasts, the FPL Lounge Long Weekend. In this third episode of four ahead of the 2023/24 season, they'll be looking at Midfielders. 

With only four 'premium' midfielders in the game this year, can managers survive without? Is Salah worth his price tag? Can Son rediscover his 2021/22 form? The lads try to answer all these questions.

There are a number of mid-priced options from £6.5-8.5m that could be worth consideration, although many of the big names feel like more of a 'wait and see' to Andy & Chris. There's a similar feel to the budget options, with a few £4,5m shouts potentially worth a gamble ahead of GW1.

The final Long Weekend episode will be released on Monday, ahead of the flagship GW1 Preview later this week. Don't forget to follow the lads on twitter and instagram @FPL_Lounge.

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! Join Andy & Chris for their series of season preview podcasts, the FPL Lounge Long Weekend. In this second of four episodes ahead of the 2023/24 season, they'll be looking at Defenders. 

Premium Defenders were in abundance last season but what will the lads make of the options this year? And how will that affect who or how many of the mid range and budget options they look at. All the price tiers are discussed along with the pros and cons of many defensive options for you team.

The episodes for Midfielders and Forwards will be released over the next two consecutive days, ahead of the flagship GW1 Preview next week. Don't forget to follow the lads on twitter and instagram @FPL_Lounge.

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! Join Andy & Chris for their series of season preview podcasts, the FPL Lounge Long Weekend. In this first of four episodes ahead of the 2023/24 season, they start by taking a look at general FPL strategy, ahead of what *should* be a 'normal' Premier League and therefore FPL season. 

They spend the second half of the podcast looking at their least favourite FPL position, goalkeepers, analysing options for every budget and questioning their own 'keepers strategy of seasons gone by.

The episodes for Defenders, Midfielders and Forwards will be released over the next three consecutive days, ahead of their flagship GW1 Preview next week. Don't forget to follow the lads on twitter and instagram @FPL_Lounge.

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! Join Chris & Andy for a fourth season as they take a relaxed look at the trials and tribulations of the addictive Fantasy Premier League.

In their weekly podcast, the lads preview each Fantasy Premier League Gameweek, taking team news, injuries, form and things they've spotted into account, highlighting players they're beginning to notice on their radar, questioning some FPL groupthink, and looking at the top captaincy options for each gameweek.

The lads kick off the season with their trademark series of season preview pods, the FPL Lounge Long Weekend, with a podcast per position group released the week before the season starts.

Remember to follow us on twitter and instagram @FPL_Lounge before that all-important GW1 deadline. It's good to back back in the Lounge again!

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! At the end of a long and gruelling season, Chris and Andy are back to review how it went. In this first of two season review shows the lads go position by position to ponder the various FPL assets who stood out. This then leads them to a team of the season from both and ultimately, the third annual, ever-prestigious, FPL Lounge Player of the Season (from a fantasy perspective). Whoever could it be....?

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for the final preview pod of the season! It's the GW38 Preview.

They run through the permutations of GW38, with only a handful of teams with things to play for, primarily those locked in a relegation battle and those trying to claim England's final European spot. They look at some final day data from years gone by, concluding it's best to target goals and not target clean sheets!

No radar this week in its usual format; instead, the lads go fixture-by-fixture trying to unearth the gems that might secure your high rank or win your mini-league. Two minutes per fixture and two men never short of things to say...

The lads do their final honey trap of the season, before a fairly lengthy discussion on captaincy - will Andy finally be brave enough to go without his armband on Haaland? They finish, as ever, with another dead rubber game of Who The Heck Is Stat?!

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for the GW37 Preview.

The lads are back with the penultimate GW preview of the season, and it's the final double of the season, with four teams playing twice in GW37.

They run through the permutations of GW37, with a handful of teams with nothing to play for, they ponder whether assets from these teams should be ignored. They also look at potential rotation, particularly among teams fighting on multiple fronts, like the Manchester clubs, or those who've had a fixture backlog, like Brighton.

A trim radar sees them focus on Andy's favourite team, with an asset in the centre and two more on the fringe, while they also highlight a few players with good underlying numbers but playing for bad sides with relegation a real possibility.

Swimming against the tide features a player who's hit a rich vein of form, but the lads doubt whether it can continue into the last few matches, while Captaincy features the age-old discussion about the temptation to veer away from Haaland. They finish, as ever, with another dead rubber game of Who The Heck Is Stat?!

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for the GW36 Preview.

The lads are back again as the Gameweeks come in thick and fast - and this ones a doubler!

With only 3 GWs left and doubles this week and next, the radar features players form teams with extra fixtures. The biggest of debates this week is which NEW FWD to go for - the lads talk through the pros and cons of Isak vs Wilson. They go on to look at other BRI and NEW assets, plus anyone else catching their eye

Swimming against the tide features a player who's scored a few from the edge of the box recently and is one of the highest scoring players in the game - are the lads too bold in swimming against bringing him in? Captaincy takes into account City's intense 2 legs against R. Madrid which straddle this GW, plus the fact 2 teams are on doubles - do you go for the the old guard of Haaland/Salah or a doubler from NEW or BRI?

Although the title is done and dusted, anguish still persists for Chris as the lads end the show with a little game they like to call Who The Heck Is Stat?!

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for the GW35 Preview.

The lads are back with their final 'normal' pod of the season, given there's just two double gameweeks and the final day to go. Despite being as the business end of the season, they discuss another Premier League managerial change, as Big Sam tries to firefight Leeds United away from safety. Will he be able to turn them around defensively enough to prevent an onslaught against the Champions Elect Man City at the weekend?

But it's City defensive assets that are on the centre of the radar, with the lads struggling to determine which offers best value, and which offers the best guarantee of minutes. They're similar confused on the mid-range when it comes to Newcastle forwards and the ever-increasing array of Brighton attacking assets that'd all have excellent FPL value - if minutes were guaranteed!

Nothing to swim against this week, so the lads try to catch each other in their honey trap, before discussing captaincy options and finishing, as ever, with a little game they like to call Who The Heck Is Stat?!
