FPL Take The Hit

The golden rule of FPL has been broken as many #FPL managers went into DGW34 with the armband firmly on Shane Duffys shoulders & we know how that went, don't we Joff.....

Troy "Fat Drake" Deeney turns up to ruin Mick's carefully laid plans, as both brothers drop further down the ranks towards 50k mediocrity.

As we always preach on the pod, things can only get better & with DGW35 looming just ahead, its time to activate that bench boost.

We touch on the UCL & the repercussions of the results & compare a variety of players to consider for your Bench Boost squad this weekend.

Manchester City get our mark of approval as Pep will be gunning hard for the EPL title now, Sterling & Aguero are heavily on our minds.

We reveal our Gut Feeling & Triple Captain picks for DGW35 & go into our transfers and captains choices.

Joff is struck down with man flu but that will not stop us from pushing on and activating our Wildcards.

Its time to dump the trash that has been building up on your benches and bring in some fresh new faces to take us into the Bench Boost in DGW35 and beyond. Kane takes a serious injury that throws our wildcard plans directly out the window & leaves the FPL community up in arms over what to do with all that extra cash.

Mick maintains his lead over rival & brother Joff by a slender 9pts with the next 2 DGWs proving to be pivotal point in whom will retain the crown for this FPL season.

Arsenal fail their DGW audition, with Mick being labelled as Arsenal-ist, or one whom does not trust Arsenal or Count Emery for that matter.

Micks usual update on the state of affairs at Chelsea FC with a slight rant & as always shots fired directly at Smoking Sarri.

All the big names involved in the coming DGW get a mention as we outline how we are going to tackle DGW34 & DGW35 Bench Boosted.

All of our usual features including the undertaker of the year - FPL Ginga Ninja.

Goodluck wielding those mighty wildcards

DGW 32 is behind us, it frustrated many & delighted others but was one hell of a ride.

We go through all the results from the DGW or as it turned out to be for most of us a normal game week that promised to be more but did not live up to the Hype.

The defensive assets stood out this week entering center stage and stealing the lion's share of the points while Pep did Pep and rotated the entire squad.

We look forward to DGW35 and pray for less rotation with a lot of the big teams going head to head in must win games.

Joff goes deep into his conspiracy of the week while Mick hits his reckless abandon pick for the 2nd week in a row with the Korean BBQ firing up a double digit score.

Fpl_wonka returns as the Undertaker with a grim showing.

Double Game week 32 has arrived and the chips have started flying.

Joff hits his Triple captain chip with tantalising eyes laid on the menace that is Aguero.

Our lesson deals with FPL managers not chasing waterfalls and sticking to the lakes and the rivers that they are used to.

We go deep into the rotation that is always apparent around DGW time and discuss those to watch out for & the most risk-averse.

The dark horse of DGW32 rides into to town above a shiny new horse while Mick gets his boogy shoes on when it comes to spending all the money left after selling sorry Salah.

Free Hit madness has struck the FPL community with players such as Jeffrey Schlupp being included in many twitter teams, we say NO.

Undertaker - @FPLwonka takes a -16pts hit while @Charch_au wants a few more weeks to be judged accordingly.

The first blank game week of the season has come and we have all suffered for it, but alas and the double game weeks have finally been confirmed & we are basking in the glory of the best part of the FPL season.

Very exciting times ahead with the promise of some absolute bumper scores to come.

The man in form Sadio Mane has a great week and justifies Micks reckless abandon triple captain pick.

We delve into the future of planning and strategies with our lesson & @Charch_au is our Undertaker of the week.

We speak about GW32 with our essential picks for the DGW as Mick puts together his black list.

Its time to get serious, the hits are flying and chips are being cashed in for cold hard transfers, the Take the Hit boys have activated their free hit chips & give all the information on who to sign and transfer in.

Micks lead has been slashed to a meagre 26pts ahead of the trailing & in form Joff, with overall ranks of 19K & 38K.

Mane gets a massive shout as Micks reckless abandon Triple captain pick of the week as he has basically transformed into Flash Gordon recently.

We talk about the teams that have already left for the Bahama's & those to jump on while they can smell the blood.

A poor mans Drogba is thrust into the lime light with a deal worth $41m.

All this and so much more on this weeks instalment as well as all the league rankings and captains picks.

After an absolute horror show of a game week, we have emerged from the swamp to trudge on into GW30 with hopes and prayers of a beautiful green arrow.

VAR rears its ugly head again in prelude to its entry into the EPL next season and we have the perfect solution, while we also discuss sticking to the plan in our lesson of the week.

Man United must appoint OGS as the actual manager and remove the "caretaker" already, maybe it happens this weekend, we also discuss the big Fridge-kaku & if we can trust him.

Liverpool are back chocking again, with poor Klopp blaming the wind again, while City pile on the pressure and offer us a surprise TC option.

We talk about players to own for BGW31 and look at a few well placed differentials to watch out for.

We get personal with a few futsal stories from the past as Jorgihno scores the only goal that he will ever score in his career.

Delete my team is a very special moment staring 2 missed penalties.

@FPLDARE you lucky bastard.

The brothers from Melbourne are back to deliver another instalment of Take the Hit FPL Podcast with a close 2 points separating them in #GW28.

A new Chelsea manager has taken the helm, refusing to leave Stamford Bridge, or the pitch for that matter.

Smoking Sarri has the last laugh & handled the press conference with a little bit of help giving us insight into whether or not we can trust Chelsea assets in the coming run in.

Ranieri only lasts 16 games and so we pose the question, can Fulham get any worse?

Vardy just wants to do shit, but will he be given new life under the new Leicester City manager Brendon "Kenny" Rodgers?

Count Emery continues to wow us with his team selections taking us back to a time when Ozil was a thing.

The game week preview article gets a mention with its predictions coming true tima and time again.

We talk about taking hits in our lesson of the week, backing our brand & our FPL pedigree at the same time.

Micks hatred of Spurs continues as he backs the Gunners to steam roll them at home by 3 goals to 1.

The DGWs are touched on ever so lightly as the FA has shrouded in doubt our plans of success, we preach patience.

#HITSEASON has arrived & it is time for the boys of FPL Take the Hit to shine.

We go into the weeds with our discussion of the alternate chip strategies available to managers in an attempt to cover all variables.

Mick does a lot of thinking in the shower, coming to a shocking realisation.

Joff is preaching patience and calm, with the FPL community scrambling to wrap their brains around the DGWs & BGWs we have on the horizon.

We take a "Poker" analogy to our chip strategy's with "Chip Leader" being our optimal way to navigate the upcoming blanks and doubles.

Mick weighs in with an ill timed but rather appropriate Sarri rant while Joff is adamant we need to block out the noise that is coming from all directions.

A cheeky triple captain call, shrouded in mystery & a big shout out to the Twitter & Instagram FPL communities for thier continued support of one another.

The Hit Squad for BGW27 is a bunch of lads we are not accustomed to seeing & a tasty GW preview as well.

GW26 has been and gone, leaving us with a lot to mull over during a very important (FPL wise) FA Cup break.

City absolutely demolish Chelsea at the Ethiad and Micks not even mad, but a cult has sprouted up with Aguero and his City contingent the focal point of many early, somewhat bizarre transfers.

Super Saiyan Mick passes 200pts in 2 weeks & enters the top 5K, establishing a hefty lead with Joff needing to sprout wings in an effort to catch his brother. The chase is now on for the remainder of the season.

Driftwood is the topic of discussion for our lesson of the week as we look at the positives and negatives of over investment in the BGWs & DGWs.

All of our usual features and with the break in EPL this weekend we go a bit off the beaten path and venture into non-FPL related questions from the twitter and instagrams.

Thank you to all our listeners, we love you all.
