This week, we’ve got an interim Gameweek pod as DGW24 stretches through two sets of vitally important fixtures for FPL managers – the next FA Cup round and the Carabao Cup semi finals.   Tom & Sam assess the wreckage after many managers veered suddenly off course due to the Friday chaos grenade that Gameweek 25 was suddenly a double gameweek, and look at how the rest of the calendar now, probably, is shaping up.   Plus – the Vanilla Awards for 2024/5! As we head into chip season, we look back at the season thus far and analyse how teams and players have performed in the part of the season prior to everything going wild.   If you liked the show, please subscribe and leave a 5* review, it really helps get us out there 💜   Learn more about your ad choices.

Following an eventful FA Cup weekend break for the Premier League, FPL came back with a vengeance in midweek. Due to the quick turnaround between Gameweeks, Tom & Sam focus squarely on the preview for the weekend on the show today.   On the menu today, we ponder the wisdom of holding a misfiring player who might have good underlying numbers (aka Nico Jackson) versus selling off for an overperforming on (aka Chris Wood), and the usual other features in terms of best transfers and best captains for the weekend ahead, plus update on bold claims.   If you liked the show, please subscribe to the pod - it really helps get us out there 💜 Learn more about your ad choices.

Happy new year and welcome to WGTA 2025!   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!   Please subscribe to the pod and leave a 5* review if you enjoyed the show Learn more about your ad choices.
