Tom & Sam take a breath after a hectic 3 gameweeks in 7 days to think about the state of the fantasy football game at the moment. As things get rather template, we ask: where can we differentiate?

Plus a look at FPL GW16 in our gameweek preview, as we discuss defensive woes in the Kneejerk once more and also try to figure out which of Salah or Palmer should get the armband this week!

It’s a super fast show this time with the quick turnaround, as Tom & Sam absorb the midweek outcomes (note we’ll be live during Thursday’s fixtures!) and look ahead to the weekend.

We talk over our reaction to the games, our possible moves – if any – in the kneejerk (and ask: did we kneejerk selling Isak?) and then look at best transfers in and best captains as the next deadline looms large on the horizon!

This week, it’s a shorter show as the Gameweeks turn over thick and fast!

Tom and Sam reflect on the weekend’s events before launching directly into the midweek preview, with captaincy perhaps up for grabs as well as spanners being thrown into the mix affecting our transfer plans. We chat selling Mbeumo, if Jackson is the key man, as well as why Saka is probably a no brainer.

This week, Tom & Sam cast their eye over the upcoming, busy fixture run as the first run of midweek games looms between Gameweek 14 & 16, for which the planning starts now!

But if we’re going to cook in that period, what do we need to prep to get there? And who should we be targeting as we readjust our sides in the run up to the gameweek congestion.

Plus in the Gameweek Preview, a move had already been made in the Kneejerk, there’s bold claims busts and also our thoughts on best captain for the week ahead with many options on the table.

With FPL about to hit fast forward, Tom & Sam take a look back to help us in the upcoming onslaught of fixtures by revisiting the 10 mistakes we said we wouldn’t make in preseason to ask – were mistakes made? And, if so, can we learn from this to help guide us to green arrows during the hectic period to follow?

Plus in the gameweek preview, our own plans to take big hits come under the microscope, plus best transfers in, captains and bold claims debated!

It’s all about Sam’s favourite term “Edge Pieces” this week, as FPL heads into the final international break of this season and we take our now customary step back to assess the situation.

This time, we discuss the importance of the Edge Pieces in FPL – especially this season – and then each pick out and debate a top 3 in defence, midfield and attack that we’re backing (whether they’re in our sides currently or not!) to help guide us to glory when the Premier League returns.

We’ll leave the preview ‘til next week!

After a punishing weekend for Tom and finally a great one for Sam, there's a few things on the agenda on this week's show!

We discuss finally selling Haaland and its aftereffects, whether short term punts could have a place despite our wider plans, and also the increased risk of hits in the new world.

Plus our usual gameweek 11 preview!

After a tumultuous week in FPL – featuring what we’re going to dub a “semi-fail” on Tom’s Haaland TC – and as we head into double figure Gameweek numbers, Tom and Sam chat to try to figure out what’s going wrong this season and how they’re planning to sort it out after a lackluster start to the season!

To try to address this, we take a look into the creeping frustration with the template as it has been, and wonder if there’s another way via a very interesting listener question we received last week.

Building on that, in our Gameweek ahead preview, we wonder if chucking Haaland out of the team is a good idea as part of the kneejerk, as well as looking into best captains, transfers and there’s been yet another point scored in the Bold Claims!
