Hope everyone is enjoying the IB, certainly a lot of things happening impacting our decisions for GW4 not least with CR7 being released early after (purposely?) getting booked following becoming the all time leading International Goalscorer despite missing a penalty! WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?!?Anyway. We've mixed it up this week with a People's Podcast inviting three guys for a chat, two of which are relatively new to the community themselves to get some different viewpoints on how they play the game. It's great getting the big accounts on from time to time but we wanted to do something different, and we're glad we did!The usual topics came up re: Wildcard with 2/5 of us basically on it and 3 of us holding firm with transfers in hand. Lukaku, CR7, fixture swings etc. Was a good chat.Thanks to @FPL_Aravind (Aravind), @FPLShark (Garf) and @TFFfan_ryan (Ryan) for joining us. Go give them a follow on Twitter :-)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 GW4!All our podcasts are on Apple and Spotify, you can find them all at www.justabovetheaveragefpl.co.uk - website will be updated soon .Finally - come and join our mini league - the code is 75yytg - see you there!!!

Gameweek Three is done and we are maintaining rank nicely between us despite having two very different team setups and captains.The main question as we enter the IB....is it time to Wildcard and are we looking at this just for the purpose of getting in the likes of Ronaldo and Lukaku? Do we need to rush in to it or is our team structure at a point where we can observe for a few weeks?Some other takeaways from GW3 and more about GW4 next week when we debut our People's Pod.In terms of the Pod League Jason Schwabe leads the way and takes August Manager of the Month and FPLReuser smashed us in the Predictor (tweet will show that quite clearly), we've got some work to do.Hope you enjoy the podcast whether you are a new listener or a returning listener, if you haven't yet subscribed please do so.All our podcasts are on Apple and Spotify, you can find them all at www.justabovetheaveragefpl.co.uk - website will be updated soon .Finally - come and join our mini league - the code is 75yytg - see you there!!!

Gameweek Two is done and we are flying high...despite both having a captain blank.Few thoughts for this week include:-- Lukaku, when do we move?- Do we need to make considerable changes and what would a wildcard look like?Plenty of other stuff that you'll just have to listen to in order to find out.Rakesh Divya breaks 200 points and leads the way in the pod league and Toxteth O Grady keeps the FPL Community flag flying high in the predictor winning for the "bad" guys again.Hope you enjoy the podcast whether you are a new listener or a returning listener, if you haven't yet subscribed please do so.All our podcasts are on Apple and Spotify, you can find them all at www.justabovetheaveragefpl.co.uk - website will be updated soon with our teams once GW1 is up and running.Finally - come and join our mini league - the code is 75yytg - see you there!!!
