Where We Stand | FPL Preseason

It’s the final WGTA of the 2024/25 season, and Sam & Tom are in an introspective mood as we look through the 10 mistakes we said we WOULDN’T make at the start of the campaign… and talk through how we – and maybe you – still fell prey to them and how we’re going to try to change that next time. Plus our season long bold claims roundup and our coveted [citation needed] end of season award as we wrap up this year’s shows!

In our penultimate pod of the season, Sam & Tom debate whether we should lean into the games with something on the line or those without any real meaning in order to spike some high scores on what’s always a goal-friendly final gameweek!  Plus a rundown of past last days to see how many goals are normally scored, a final bold claims and a captaincy decision that may run right down to the wire. We’ll be back next week for our season finale, but if this is your last pod – thanks so much for your support this campaign <3 And, if you have enjoyed our content this year and haven’t already, subscribe to the feed and leave a 5* review – it means so much to us!

This time, join Sam & Tom on a pod spent - half tongue in cheek! - reflecting on what an "FPL Troll" actually is with many nominations flying around on social media after a difficult weekend for many managers.   Plus in our gameweek 36 preview, lots of movement in the transfer market as people move on from Palace players and captain, again, is arguably another open question.   We're coming to the end of the campaign, so if you've enjoyed the show and haven't done so yet, we'd massively appreciate if you’d subscribe and leave a 5* review of the pod – it goes a long way Learn more about your ad choices.

Sam and a sad Tom return after Free Hitters leave chipless managers in the dust following a wildly successful weekend for many.   This time round, we preview the end of the season, looking through the roster of Premier League teams to try to work out how motivated they are for the rest of the year through analysing their "beachiness". We do this by asking: what do they have left to play for? Plus the GW35 preview, including a pretty open captaincy conundrum this weekend.

As the biggest double gameweek of the season comes to its close (live on the pod!), Sam & Tom look ahead to blank gameweek 34 – the moment at which many FPL managers are deploying their Free Hit chip to deal with the absence of many of their players. We supply our “Free Hit Kit” to help you to navigate the picks for the week ahead.   Plus the Gameweek 34 preview returns to its true form, with the knee jerk assisting managers who are not on the free hit (like Tom), best captains, best transfers in and another point on the board in bold claims!   If you liked the show, please subscribe and leave a 5* review of the pod – it goes a long way Learn more about your ad choices.

Tom & Sam are in a sombre mood this week after a spectacular gut punch on bench boost in double gameweek 32. It's a space for introspection and healing here: where did it all go wrong!?   Then, it's onto regularly scheduled programming via our double gameweek 33 preview - key players, best transfers, chip talk, captains and bold claims - as we try to get back on track.

Tom & Sam preview the first of a pair of upcoming double gameweeks in FPL - the crowning glory of fantasy in most seasons.   In the show this week, we discuss the debate between the pair - which week is the best to bench boost? And, if you have your triple captain left, do you triple captain for the other? We also - for those on AM especially - pop through a few differentials you might wish to consider for the week ahead. We're chiefly focused on single gameweek picks as we imagine the majority are set for their Palace & Newcastle.   Plus other transfer manoeuvrings, a POINT SCORED IN BOLD CLAIMS, a word (literally) on captaincy and our teams for DGW32.   If you liked the show, please subscribe and leave a 5* review of the pod – it goes a long way Learn more about your ad choices.
