Wildcards with Jermaine Jenas and Jermaine Pennant

Has Fantasy Football Gone Too Far with DEFCON Points? And Does Football Knowledge Actually Make You Worse at FPL!


Listen Later

This week, JJ’s losing patience with fantasy football logic while JP’s fuming at DEFCON points stealing the spotlight from actual goals. The lads debate whether “too much football knowledge” actually hurts your FPL game, argue over the new scoring system, and try to fix their broken midfields ahead of Gameweek 11.

They also get into:

  • Why Declan Rice and Moisés Caicedo are secretly FPL gold

  • The real reason Jermaine thinks Sunderland won’t go down (after calling them “poo-poo”)

  • Liverpool’s defensive comeback vs Villa and Madrid

  • Whether Arsenal have already sealed the Premier League

  • Why JJ thinks captaining Haaland this week could be a huge mistake

    This is the football podcast that turns your FPL group chat into pure entertainment; football insight, and unfiltered takes, this is the Wildcards chaos you live for.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

    • How to rethink your FPL midfield strategy under the DEFCON system

    • Which players are quietly racking up points under the radar

    • Why overthinking football knowledge can tank your fantasy season

    • The truth about Liverpool’s tactical shift and Arsenal’s title charge

    • Why “finding a differential” could make or break your FPL ranking
