Join us as we discuss Fantasy Premier League (FPL) GW10 with basically 100% of meaningful managers captaining Salah. And it gave us a Gameweek that really depended on whether you owned Reece James or not.We've gone through a small rebrand from Just Above The Average to Above Average FPL and I hope that you agree it's much cleaner and punchy. We like it anyway.Hot Topics this week include what to do with City defence and do we just get Chelsea full backs in and be done with it? Who are our budget enablers with the Bees (not Brentord) as in Brighton and Burnley potentially offering us routes to cash for a second premium. Is CR7 back in our thoughts, are Spurs firmly in the bin? Nuno out may change that dramatically.What we can say is things are likely to change over the next few weeks so be ready for that.As always we discuss the games one by one to give our view on what happened and what we can take for the upcoming fixtures.Thanks again to all our new listeners, hopefully we give you some entertainment and we can keep getting you back to the pod in the future. Look out for us as we appear on Twitter Spaces throughout the week, look forward to chatting with you all there soon!Timestamps:Intro and our weeks11mins Leicester v Arsenal (Ramsdale, ESR, Vardy)21mins City v Palace (what do we do with MCI def?)30mins Chelsea v Newcastle (double up?

Join us as we discuss Fantasy Premier League (FPL) GW9 after what can only be described as one of the most divisive weeks we've had as managers.Some captained Kai, some captained Vardy, the majority captained Salah. We did not expect such a large swing and it hurt those who didn't go with the Egyptian King.We cover the mental side of it, what to do next, how we (CY) felt about the decision making and the outcome etc. Is captaincy relevant in the sense that at this point if it was taken away, would it make a difference? We discuss that too.As always we discuss the games one by one to give our view on what happened and what we can take for the upcoming fixtures.Thanks again to all our new listeners, hopefully we give you some entertainment and we can keep getting you back to the pod in the future.

YouTube nightmare, but the pod is out!Join us as we discuss Fantasy Premier League (FPL) GW8 with FFScout Hall of Famer Tom Stephenson (currently ranked 2nd HoF).As a Colchester United fan the lack of bias is clearly correlated with his performance season after season and as such we delved in to the games and almost forgot to come up for air at the end. It's our longest pod to date!Thanks again to all our new listeners, hopefully we give you some entertainment and we can keep getting you back to the pod in the future.

International break is well underway and whilst Baker was tinkering with his team, CY has been tinkering with OBS and YouTube, so if you want to watch rather than listen then the link is below.Just Above The Average - YouTubeQuite a lot of chart about wildcard and with the upcoming fixtures there are so many different options across all positions, and you probably don't even need to spend all of your money ITB to do it. Interesting...Excuse any references to the video, we've tried to make it work across both platforms. We of course welcome any feedback you do have!Thanks again to all our new listeners, hopefully we give you some entertainment and we can keep getting you back to the pod in the future.

32 points the average. Thirty two. THIRTY TWO.So Chelsea clean sheet wiped out, Lukaku with no returns, Ronaldo on the bench. Salah being Salah.It was an eventful week even if the scores perhaps did not reflect it.We take a look at the gameweek in review, it appears the wildcarders did not get back to back victories this week bar a few punts on Chilwell and Azpi, maybe Jimenez (although Hwang stole the show).CY hit wildcard at 10.30am on Saturday for a 2 point gain, Baker is now on Wildcard for the IB. Lots to talk about there.This is where the season really starts, planning for 20+ GW's - bring it on.Thanks again to all our new listeners, hopefully we give you some entertainment and we can keep getting you back to the pod in the future.

What a rubbish weekend...AJ mud, Golf mud, Spurs mud, FPL just tinkering on mud.The only saving grace was that 4 goals in the NLD meant Macmillan received £20 from us, which can only be a good thing.So, back to the subject at hand. We tried to cover the GW as objectively as possible. Are the early wildcarders now starting to see their fresh tyres yield them an advantage? Usual ramble through the GW and looked ahead to a very difficult set of fixtures this week coming.Thanks to all our new listeners, hopefully we give you some entertainment and we can keep getting you back to the pod in the future.====================================================================Hope you enjoy the podcast whether you are a new listener or a returning listener, if you haven't yet subscribed please do so.Good luck for GW6!All our podcasts are on Apple and Spotify, you can find them all at www.justabovetheaveragefpl.co.ukFinally - come and join our mini league - the code is 75yytg - see you there!!!

Trent ill, Son rising from the unknown, Tsimikas, Benrahma injured? All part of the drama that preceded GW5 but we got through with limited damage.We talk primarily about the GW as always, as well as the above with respect to press conferences and when they may not be the most useful.We touch on talismen from lesser/promoted teams and compare them to the rotation risks at the 7m-8m price point in midfield for the premium teams.Close off with some key talking points and a couple of questions from Twitter.Overall RanksCY - 68kBaker - 14kHope you enjoy the podcast whether you are a new listener or a returning listener, if you haven't yet subscribed please do so.Good luck for GW6!All our podcasts are on Apple and Spotify, you can find them all at www.justabovetheaveragefpl.co.ukFinally - come and join our mini league - the code is 75yytg - see you there!!!
