Who Got The Assist? FPL Podcast

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!

As FPL resumes after international break, Tom & Sam reflect on a rather disappointing weekend with a packed show looking forward to next week instead!

There’s a few things on the running order this week, with a look at whether we are both hitting the button on triple captaining the Norwegian robot, and then as our main focus a look at the defence in FPL: is it worth just divesting entirely after a lot of inconsistency in our backlines?

Plus the remainder of the gameweek ahead preview, including the kneejerk, best transfers, bold claims and how our teams are shaping up for the weekend ahead.

Title: Quad Planning

Tom & Sam zoom back in on the detail on FPL, with the next four fixtures before the final international break of 2024 in focus for this week’s episode.

Building on what we began with Nick last week, we look at each team’s performance thus far and ask where our interest lies for FPL, and if – and then, how – we’re looking to be moving in and out any of the players from the 20 sides over the next quad of gameweeks.

Plus our GW8 preview returns, including best transfers in and best captain!

Tom & Sam are joined by high-flying former founding co-host Nick to zoom out as we head into the international break.

We take time to think about how different levels of engagement in FPL can have their positives and negatives, with Nick enjoying a stellar start to the campaign!

We also begin to preview the next block of 4 fixtures in terms of discussing how the key men for the next few weeks may be swapped around by enterprising FPL managers to try to take advantage.

Sam & Tom survey the wreckage after a one man wrecking ball in Cole Palmer torpedoed their Wildcard hopes and dreams!

We know not everyone was on Wildcard this week, but a discussion on processing bad weeks and how to react – especially if you have just wildcarded – seems apt given the week we’ve had. Are there any bright spots? Is there anything we’d have done differently?

Plus the Gameweek 7 review covers the Kneejerk – buy Palmer pronto? - best captain, bold claims, and best transfers in.

Sam & Tom have both pressed the button this week, meaning hot picks and team structure take centre stage.

We know not everyone is on wildcard, so to assist everyone – while using our wildcard drafts as the main discussion springboard – we do an audit of FPL key picks from top to bottom (as reasonably as we possibly can!), noting top individuals for managers to consider, whatever your situation!

Plus the Gameweek 6 review covers best captain – dare you zag against the Robot? – bold claims, and best transfers in.

Tom & Sam assess the damage after a below par return to FPL action following the international break.

We take a look at the current FPL game state, with a heavily – yet, maybe, temporary – templated player set at the moment meaning differential hauls make all the difference. But, with Gameweek 6 wildcards the popular strategy, we ask: how long will this last? And how should we manage to adapt to the season as it evolves?

Then it’s the price point – an eye test warning, followed by the gameweek 5 preview. This includes the Knee Jerk – time to finally jettison Isak if you haven’t already? – best transfers, best captains and astonishing news as one of us finally puts one away in Bold Claims.

As FPL slowly emerges from its international break slumber, Tom and Sam take time to dwell on decision making and how things may be altered by the format tweaks this year now we’ve had some time with the game live.

We investigate how decision-making processes – satisficing vs maximising in behavioural science – are somewhat shaped by our personalities and where it feeds into FPL – and how this has changed now with the new(ish) FPL updates as wildcard season is either here or near for many.

Plus in the Gameweek 4 preview, we take a look at the Kneejerk – how are wildcarders looking? – best transfers in, captains and update on bold claims before revealing our GW4 setups.

This week, Tom & Sam zoom in on one troublesome spot in our fantasy teams: the expanded funzone midfield at around 5.0-8.5m. With many unhappy owning the likes of Nkunku and Eze, we wonder who, of any of these guys, is worth investment now or keeping an eye on going forward.

There’s the Price Point, where we highlight one bit of eye test info Sam noted this week.

And then it’s the Gameweek 3 preview. In the kneejerk, it’s wildcard discussion: lots were popped yesterday, so what do we think of that and what should they look like? Plus our own kneejerks, where one transfer may have already been made… As usual we finish with best transfers and captains and bold claims.
