We are a month into the 2020/21 Fantasy Premier League campaign and we're left with more questions than answers.

Which teams are actually good? Why have Chelsea, Man City and Man United been so disappointing so far? How in God's name did Liverpool lose 7-2 to Aston Villa? Does any of it even matter anymore?

To try and answer some of these conundrums and more during the international break, we drafted in a very special guest in the form of FPL expert Andrew Ferguson, writer and podcast presenter over at Fantasy Football Hub. 

Giving a broad overview of the first four matchdays of the Premier League, we looked at the madness of gameweek four, tried to make sense of the season up to now, and admitted our biggest regrets and mistakes. We also chatted about the things we were most wrong about in preseason, the deadline day transfers that might affect FPL, and how we can possibly strategize for the future in this weird world of fantasy football.

- Why Frank Lampard needs to take responsibility for Chelsea's problems

Sam, Peter and Harry look back a completely ridiculous round of Premier League games. Mad handball decisions, penalties after the final whistle, City's title ambitions end already, Chelsea fall flat, Liverpool put one had on the trophy and Fulham pack their bags. We're only three games in to the season! What's going on? We try to make some sense of it all.

The latest entrant in to the 90's Football Hall of Fame is Duncan Ferguson, the former Everton striker who was infamous for his physicality and penchant for violence on the pitch.

An FA Cup winner in 1995, the Scot got into many scrapes and fights in the years, and is one of very few footballers to have been jailed for an incident on the field. But he was a quality footballer too who was as lethal in the air as he was with his fists, and scored a few crackers with his feet as well. 

Freelance football writer Ste Tudor joined Ste McGovern and Peter Henry on the latest episode to discuss Ferguson's career, what made him so terrifying to play against, our favourite violent flashes of his, and why his identity is so intertwined with Everton.

After another week of pain and mediocrity for Stephen and Dara, the two lads have decided its high time they smashed that wildcard button and reinvigorated their Fantasy Premier League teams with wholesale surgery.  

In the latest episode of The Fantasy Faithful podcast, we look back on a crazy gameweek 2 in FPL that featured a record 44 goals, the decisions we regretted the most, and contemplate who are the essential picks in our wildcard teams. 

We also discuss the dilemma surrounding Manchester United assets following their defeat to Crystal Palace, why we still don't trust Jose Mourinho's Spurs, the differentials going under the radar, and who are the best captaincy options in gameweek 3.

Any early writing off of Liverpool may have been a bit premature but what about that Chelsea hype train? Which version of Gareth Bale have Spurs signed? Which teams are the best of the rest in the league? What do City need to reclaim their title and strap in folks, it's an early season rant on  Manchester United.

Sam. Peter, Dec and Harry look back a goal filled week of action.

Was the first Fantasy Premier League gameweek of the season a bust for you? Did you foolishly not captain Mo Salah? Tempted to hit that wildcard button already?

Well The Fantasy Faithful lads are here to guide you through the myriad dilemmas and choices facing FPL managers ahead of gameweek 2. We agonise over our mistakes, pick apart the early bandwagons, and make our choices for transfers and captaincy.

The Premier League is back and so is the Football Faithful Podcast! Normal service resumes as Sam is joined by Peter & Ant to discuss the opening round of fixtures. We got a first look at defending Champions, Liverpool as they took on a newly promoted and much heralded Leeds United. Chelsea got off to a winning start but Lampard may be under some pressure this season, Arsenal look the real deal, Everton might actually live up to the preseason hype for once but Spurs? Just one game in and we may be about to witness a classic Mourinho meltdown.

All that and much more, it's not the same but it's good to be back.

With the Premier League returning this week The Fantasy Faithful presents our big preview of gameweek 1 for FPL managers. 

Ste McGovern was joined by Will Thomas of Fantasy Football Hub to pore over the must-have players heading into the new season, the best value players in the game, and which ones are flying under the radar.

We also discuss which teams have the best early fixtures, who is the best captain to pick for GW1, and how to work around Man City and Man United not playing in the first round of games.

In the second of our two-part interview with Fantasy Premier League expert Abubakar Siddiq, The Fantasy Faithful takes a close look at how make the most of transfers and captaincy picks. 

We discuss the best time to make your transfer during a gameweek, whether it's a good idea to take hits, how to keep track of price changes, and why looking to the long-term is the best strategy for picking players. 

Bakar also talks us through his strategy for picking a captain every week, arguably the most important aspect of FPL, and how analytics help him with his weekly pick.
