A Perfect Storm(?) - Gameweek 4
As a return to Premier League action gallops into view, Sam’s back on the pod to assist Tom in this week’s preview of Gameweek 4. And it’s an interesting one, with transfer window deals potentially shaking things up, injuries and managerial changes around the place, and, for some fantasy football managers, buttons being pressed when it comes to Wildcards and Free Hits. We’ll discuss all of that, as well as running through a few key players in form vs fixtures catching the eye, provide a one week punt update and discuss best captains before revealing our setups for this week – have either of us pressed a button?

Catching Up With Nick | #FPL Gameweek 4
We’re in for a Sunday night edition this week and this time – as we’re in international break, Sam’s on holiday and Tom’s about to go too – Tom take the opportunity to catch up with the very first WGTA cohost, Nick! We haven’t got much of an agenda in this fireside chat which mostly covers discussion on how FPL has evolved in the 9+ years since we founded WGTA, how our games have changed (especially with the advent of algorithmic, analytical FPL) and observations about how the game may continue to grow. Plus a bit of chatter about how we’re doing this season. Normal service is resumed Tuesday 9th.

A Torrid Start | Gameweek 3
It’s not been the best start for us. But why? Time for a quick examination to see if we’ve just been plain unlucky or if we feel like we’ve got it totally wrong as the early couple of weeks bring nothing but below average scoring to kick off this week’s show. Then, it’s onto form vs fixtures: are we losing faith too soon in some, while jumping onto others when they could merely be a flash in the pan? Plus the one week punt update and a discussion on captaincy where this week seems an uncertain, split pin week.

Licking Our Wounds | Gameweek 2
After a rather lackluster opening weekend, we’re glad to be given the chance to talk out our various grievances this week as a lot of sliding doors moments deprive us of a fire start. In form vs fixture, we look at the three key risers this week – Reijnders, Semenyo and Wood – to ask if the early reactions merit an early purchase, plus look at other options out there given what we’ve seen… knowing it’s just been one week. Also an update on the one week punt and also best captain for the week ahead, before we spend time analysing potential moves for our own sides.

Here We Land | Gameweek 1
In our final preseason pod, we take in the final friendlies and community shield to see what we've learned - and what outstanding questions we're hoping get answered in the time left. Then we update on the pod this year - how we're approaching it, and start the One Pick Punt competition as well as making our season long Bold Claims. Finally - our teams. Obviously there's still time to go, but we'll run through what's changed and why from the extra pod last week and how we're likely to set up ahead of the deadline - and this start of the 25/26 campaign.
