100 for 100

Welcome to the 100th episode of the FPL Fortress! Our first episode was released all the way back in March of 2021, back when we were sophomores in high school. Now, we’re sophomores in college, and we thought we’d take this moment to reflect on the past four years of FPL by creating a list of the 100 most memorable players that we’ve had the pleasure (or displeasure) of encountering. The list is split into four categories: all-timers, honest workers, trolls, value picks, and those who can only be described as “vibes.”

As we go through these players, we relive some of the memories from this most recent era of FPL history that have imprinted themselves irrevocably in our minds. Highlights include the legendary Wolves double over Manchester City in the 2019/2020 season, in which Adama Traoré humiliated the City defense; West Ham’s tactical shift to 3-4-3 in the 2020/2021 season to accommodate both Arthur Masuaku and Aaron Cresswell (who is actually featured heavily in our very first episode!); and the Mateta-Eze-Olise trio that burst into life at the end of the 2023/2024 season, creating perhaps the most unadulterated embodiment of pure vibes this sport has ever seen. Throughout the episode, Jacob recalls specific moments from specific games with shocking clarity—a performance that may even outclass Lord Lundstram’s 21-pointer in terms of sheer impressiveness.

Finally, we contemplate the continuity that FPL has provided us over the past four years, as well as the numerous ways in which it has enriched our lives. It’s been a real treat to produce the FPL Fortress for 100 episodes, and here’s to the next 100!
