Press conferences also don't escape our scrutiny, as the lack of information regarding Joao Pedro sticks in the craw for many #fantasyfootball managers.

Then it's the regulars - one week punt, captain - to tidy up before we turn to the week ahead and Free Hit for those on the WC32 BB33 FH34 pathway. We reveal our draft(s), debate the possible routes of attack and also talk over what those not on Free Hit might wish to consider for the upcoming blank gameweek.

Sam (definitely) and Tom (maybe) will be back next Tuesday.

Plus the usual one week punts and our #fantasyfootball captain for the weekend (erm, Haaland).

And, as it's a shorter pod with most teams actually quite set, we take time at the end for a lengthier, meta discussion on how we've ended up with a very set squad for the run-in, diagnose if it's a problem, and what FPL might do about it if indeed it's something that needs fixing.

We update on that, and run through some potential approaches you may take depending on your chip situation, with the main routes discussed. And how worried should you be if you've taken a route less travelled?

Plus, for quite a few, the wildcard has been activated. We take a look at our picks and figure out where - if any - there are points of debate which bundles in this week's form Vs fixtures.

Then it's one week punts and the academic matter of Bruno being your #fantasyfootball captain as it returns this weekend to round off the episode.

In this edition, we run the rule over the runners and riders for the fabled 200 Club, asking who might make it beyond the velvet ropes this year.

We also discuss our impressions of what's gone on with #fantasypremierleague generally this year. DefCons have changed the landscape - but how? And how has the changed environment affected manager's playstyle? Join us for some marmalade dropping findings.

Plus with many looking to wildcard soon we take a look at a possible draft - light touch though, as we really should be waiting until after the FA Cup results...

We'll be back on Tuesday 7th April.

Due to the rapid turnaround, on the agenda this time it’s a straightforward affair – and maybe a shorter edition – as our running order takes in our Gameweek 28 results, what our intentions are with doubts swirling over Erling Haaland’s fitness for midweek #fantasyfootball, a quick outlook on what we’ll learn next weekend, what players are attracting attention in form vs fixtures, one week puns, captaincy and then our plans for this midweek.

With a focus on gearing up for blank gameweek 31, which of these - over the next 4 - do we prefer as part and parcel of our #fantasypremierleague midfield makeup?

Plus in form vs fixtures, some defenders and forwards - and even goalkeeper - analysed, a contentious captaincy yet again, one week punts and our teams with one of us having already made their moves...

We'll be looking ahead to #gw27, as many #fantasyfootball managers probably are after a below average double, and asking what shifts we've already seen to the template (causing the pain!) and anticipating how we'll start to gear up for the blank in 31.

Plus a small outline of the chip landscape - to be discussed in more detail next week! - our form Vs fixtures keying into that, and the usual regulars, including a potentially contentious captain decision this week should Haaland be ruled fit.

As a result, we'll try to leave off definitive chat as long as possible, instead focusing on our results from #fpl gameweek 25, a transfer window roundup, and a short chat about 50/50s and a refresher on how to navigate them best with Tom in particular suffering from 4 in a row backfiring.

Then it's the regulars: form Vs fixtures (as well as we can given the football), one week punts, captaincy picks and our teams.

If the game went late eg to pens, there may be a q + a and a live stream vibe as we wait for the result to be confirmed!

And then it's on to the fixture swing that 24 begins, as we analyse the existing #fantasyfootball template, and chat through how we think the great runs many teams are about to embark on will see it transform.

Then it's a form Vs fixtures update, one week punts, captain choice (now back on the menu!) ahead of #GW24 and look at what we're doing with our teams.

And then it's looking at midfielders as many are seeking to move on the likes of Cunha and, perhaps, Foden or Saka - do you go expensive with Palmer or across to Bruno, or downswing elsewhere?

Then form Vs fixture looks at picks for the congested period on the horizon, it's getting closer in the one week punts and could it finally be the week to go against perma-captain Haaland?

First we give a mention of the dawning Dyche era at Forest and its possible fantasy football ramifications, and then it’s on to our main topic this week: has the midfield actually disappointed as some are suggesting, or is it just that Semenyo’s ridiculous performance has distorted our perception?

And then in form vs fixtures, a focus on forwards and defenders – in particularly Palace and Chelsea assets, plus Big Nick Woltemade.

Plus finally one week punts, a best captain chat and perhaps a quiet week for our teams with Sam having just wildcarded and Tom desperately attempting to keep his knee in check.

We cover any news during a quiet international break and any potential ramifications for managers been.

And then it’s onto form vs fixtures, with several picks under the microscope including big Nick Woltemade and those from swing teams Chelsea, West Ham and Leeds, a one week punt update and a cursory nod to any captaincy debate.

But really, we’re all just here because Sam’s on his wildcard and we want to see what he’s cooked up, so we spend much more time on that at the end!

Then stay for a discussion on fixture swings in #fantasypremierleague, as we identify 3 kinds of swing – mini, midi, maxi – and how all of these feed into managerial strategies as we try to achieve success as this game.

Plus in form versus fixtures, more unusual names are bothering the data nerds, in one week punt it’s a quiet one all round, and for best captaincy perhaps it’s more clear than it could’ve been on paper.

And finally, our teams for the week ahead – is Sam pushing any buttons, or muddling through? And how can Tom screw it up this time?

And then a Haaland injury happened, and things went berserk.

Plus in the Gameweek ahead previews, there’s lots of information to come with cup ties galore before the next Premier League matchday but there’s still the usual roster of the Kneejerk (this week: do we back our horses or chop and change in the edge piece positions?), best transfers, bold claims and, finally, a bit of actual discussion in best captains this time around.

Sam & Tom start the year with the festive fixture run nearing its conclusion, with a show on new year’s day!

This week, with Mo Salah smashing through the 200 Club barrier in record time, we take a moment to bow down to the Egyptian king while also spending time nominating who else of the current crop of FPL players we’d back to join the Liverpool talisman beyond 200 points this season.

Plus we look ahead to the final weekend of the frantic festive fantasy football period, discussing Forest in the kneejerk, other top transfers and our bold claims. And best captain summed up in one word.

Then it's onto this week's teams, and a bit of an advice clinic for Tom as Doctor Sam looks at the options available!

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!

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.

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.
