  • #31: RIP European SuperLeague

    In one of football's darkest weeks, Callum and Jack return after a brief break to share their thoughts on the (now seemingly called-off) European SuperLeague. Recorded during the evening of 20th April 2021, just as the news of Man City and Chelsea's withdrawal from the ESL was breaking, we talk about the morality of the sport, what needs to happen next, how should the Premier League and Champions League deal with the renegade clubs and most importantly, the emotional impact the news has had on ourselves and the footballing community.

    We also discuss the other major news, Tottenham sacking Jose Mourinho less than a week before the Carabao Cup Final. Which, somehow, is only the second biggest news story this week.

  • #27: Justice for Wan-Bissaka!

    It's finally here! The dreaded Gameweek 29 has arrived and we have thoughts. Callum and Jack break down the eight clubs involved and pick out the best options from each one to form a hypothetical free hit team. Brighton defenders are advised, Leeds' attackers are potentials and Harry Kane is the only person you should be handing the armband to. Or is he?

    But before of all that, the pod discuss the latest England squad and get angry over the inclusion of Eric Dier and Tyrone Mings and the omission of Ezri Konsa and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

    The pod is back to preview the most important week of this year's FPL season - the MEGA DOUBLE GAMEWEEK 26! Callum and Jack discuss their captains, or in the latter's case, triple captain, as well as the transfers they hope will haul the most points.

    The lads also talk the scandal surrounding Aston Villa, Jack Grealish and Fantasy Football, whether it's time up for Mo Salah and Liverpool assets and could Gareth Bale save both Spurs and our fantasy seasons?

  • #23: Gun-d'Or-gan

    The Premier League never disappoints but Fantasy Premier League can often be a cruel place. Fortunately, this week went pretty well, but only if you owned Ilkay Gundogan. Callum and Jack return to celebrate defenders, round-up the weekend's games and look ahead to the upcoming Double Gameweeks.

    They discuss which Leeds attacker they'll be captaining, whether to stick or twist with injured players like Gundogan, Michail Antonio and Dominic Calvert-Lewin and what's gone wrong with Liverpool. Also in our transfer talk, should Danny Ings be on everyone's shortlist and is it time to ditch West Ham assets.
