Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for the GW34 Preview.

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

The radar continues last week's theme of being influenced by those teams doubling. Liverpool, Brighton and City assets figure heavily and the lads go through the pros and cons of who to choose.

Swimming against the tide features a previous FPL Lounge player of the season who plenty seem to be getting rid of. He's pricey, so its understandable, but why should you consider keeping him? Captaincy has a familiar ring to it - City on a double... surely only one conclusion? And they end with a potentially season defining little game they like to call Who The Heck Is Stat?!

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for the GW33 Preview.

A quick turnaround for a rare midweek Gameweek with all teams in action to start an interesting and fully settled schedule up until the end of the season.

The radar has many new faces who benefit from good run-ins including multiple double gameweeks. Liverpool and Brighton attackers are back in view, which might be expected, but what won't be is the defensive players who have come into form. Strikers and City's good run also feature.

A swimming against the tide in favour of a player one of the lads has always struggled with and who plays for a relegation contender - what??! That is the case though - listen to why the lads DON'T think you should be getting rid. Captaincy seems wide open this week and the lads consider the pros and cons of various options before ending with a little game they like to call Who The Heck Is Stat?!

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for the GW32 Preview.

A blank gameweek for four teams due to the FA Cup semi finals leads the lads to inevitably talk about strategy, with many managers - and listeners - likely to use their Free Hit chip this week. But fear not, if you're on a different strategy!

The radar tries to look at players that can benefit managers on a Free Hit and just using free transfers to navigate this blank, with an eye on future doubles too. It inevitably, then, includes a few standout Liverpool assets, who are unlikely to need much introduction to FPL managers. The radar also runs the rule over an in-form striker for a struggling club, budget midfield assets at Fulham and a rejuvenated Crystal Palace, and a final mention of Free Hit specific players.

Little to swim against again this week so the lads show each other their honey (bebe), with strikers and goals the order of the day, before finishing with a captaincy conversation that belongs in 2021/22 and a little game they like to call Who The Heck Is Stat?!

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for the GW31 Preview.

A light talking points this week, with the lads discussing Rashford's injury - hold or sell? - and the European fixtures, plus a brief look ahead to the GW32 blank, and the potential for using the Free Hit chip.

The radar again lacks a player the lads feel strongly enough to put in the centre, but does include several players on the mid-range, including one upgrade from last weeks' fringe. It also includes a premium asset with good fixtures and good underlying numbers, but who is not quite passing the lad's eye test. There's also a mention for a budget forward with plenty of upside.

Little to swim against this week so the lads weave together their respective honey traps, which leads nicely into a captaincy discussion before finishing, as ever, with a little game they like to call Who The Heck Is Stat?!

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for the GW30 Preview.

More manager sackings in the talking points - how will they affect your FPL team? That plus European rotation ahead also to consider.

The radar has a fair few FWDs on this week, including a no brainer in the centre, an in-form option with great stats too on the mid-range and a recently returned player on the fringe. Some other interesting looking City options are also weaved in.

The lads face the calmest ocean they've ever seen in swimming against the tide - what on earth are managers thinking transferring out this player?? Captaincy brings the perennial 'how many mins will Haaland get' quandary, but he's got some competition that makes that even harder this GW - the lads look through them. They end, as ever, with a little game they like to call Who The Heck Is Stat?!

Welcome back after the international break to the FPL Lounge for the GW29 Preview - a double gameweek for 12 teams.

The lads review the recent managerial changes in the Premier league, with Chris dropping a lovely Roy Hodgson-anecdote, before getting down to the real business of GW29 - all those doubles and how to play your chips!

A busy radar sees some additions with good fixtures now and into the future, with some hesitation places around a scheduled blank for GW32. The lads find something to swim against this week (or is it just an excuse to have a Harry Kane love-in?) before assessing the GWs captaincy options and being careful not to sleep in single GWers. They end, as ever, with a little game they like to call Who The Heck Is Stat?!

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for the GW28 Preview - a blank gameweek for 6 teams.

The talking points dominated by the blank this week - free hit, wildcard, or can you muddle through without a chip?

The radar sees some previous fringe assets make their way forward - with one even making it all the way to the centre. Chelsea players get a look in plus a few punts to consider if you are on of those on Free Hit.

Again the blanks influencing the transfers in and out so no tides to swim against - bring out the honey bebe! The lads lay out some honey traps (FPL related things they think might happen). Many captaincy options this week with some of the regulars not playing and the lads take a look through a fair few. They end, as ever, with a little game they like to call Who The Heck Is Stat?!

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! It's GW27 Preview time.

A double for four teams lets the lads discuss the best way to optimise this GW, and they even have a quick chat about bench boosting in GW27. The radar has a familiar face in its centre, but additions to the mid-range and fringe will give listeners plentyt o think about ahead of the deadline.

No tide to swim against again this week, so the lads show each other the (Cypriot) honey in their Caught in the Honey Trap segment, before finishing as always with captaincy and a little game they like to call Who The Heck Is Stat?!

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! It's GW26 Preview time.

With the conclusion of the FA Cup 5th round (and a huge FPL Lounge shout out to Grimsby Town), we've a lot more clarity on upcoming Blank GWs. The lads run through the reduced no. of BGW28 fixtures, resulting in a likely smaller BGW32 and therefore smaller DGW34 and DGW37 than perhaps first thought. The impact that has on strategy is discussed, with the Bench Boost chip now having an obvious home, but with decisions still to be made on Free Hit and the final Wildcard if you still possess them.

The radar is almost entirely new, focusing on the Brentford and Brighton assets with multiple DGWs on the horizon, but with additional mentions of a forward in red hot form and a defenders whose team have improving underlying defensive numbers.

No tide to swim against this week, so the lads show each other the honey in their Caught in the Honey Trap segment, before finishing as always with captaincy and  a little game they like to call Who The Heck Is Stat?!

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for the GW25 Preview.

A strange occurrence with a blank and double gameweek all in one, with another large double announced this week for Gameweek 29. Lots of complications, lots of ifs and buts, but the lads do their best to lay out the current thinking... 

The radar is heavily influenced by doubling teams with one or two old favourites from last season starting to creep their way into the thinking too.

An UNPRECEDENTED swimming against the tide for the lads this week with 2 traps to avoid precedes an interesting captaincy conundrum in which the greatness of Haaland comes up against some high ceiling doublers. And they end, as ever, with a little game they like to call Who The Heck Is Stat?!
