  6. Manchester City Found GUILTY - What Does It Mean For FPL Draft?

    Show notes

    Manchester City have been found guilty of serious breaches of the Premier League's financial rules - but what happens next, and how will it impact your FPL Draft team?

    In this special, we break down the potential fallout from the Manchester City charges - and what possible punishments could mean - not just for City, but for the entire Premier League and FPL.

    Could City face a massive points deduction? Could they be relegated ot even expelled from the Premier League? What happens to their remaining fixtures? Could the number of relegation places change? And what would happen to City's players if the punishment they received was particularly brutal?

    We look at:

    ⚖️ What Manchester City have actually been found guilty of

    📉 The possible points deductions and sporting sanctions

    🚨 Could Manchester City be relegated or expelled?

    📅 What could happen to Premier League fixtures and results

    🔄 The potential impact on City players and transfers

    🏆 What it could mean for the rest of the Premier League

    There are still major steps to come, and the sanction has not been decided. Manchester City continue to plead their innocence, and have said they will appeal, and the scenarios discussed are possibilities rather than predictions.

  7. FPL Draft - The Players We Were WRONG About

    Show notes

    We're five gameweeks in, so is it time to rethink what we thought we knew about FPL Draft?

    In this international break special, we dig into the numbers from the opening five gameweeks to find the players and teams every Fantasy Premier League Draft manager MUST reassess.

    We look at:

    ⚽ The Premier League's underlying xG and xGC numbers

    📊 The players dominating attacking involvement

    🎯 Shots on target, chance creation and finishing efficiency

    🛡️ The new DEFCON monsters emerging for Draft managers

    📈 Players whose underlying numbers suggest more could be coming

    📉 Early-season performances that may NOT be sustainable

    👀 Plus some ridiculous stats you probably haven't seen

    Five gameweeks isn't enough to tell us EVERYTHING, but it's enough to start spotting patterns and acting on them.

    Show notes

    Pre-season is over. The evidence is in. Now comes the bit that matters - what does it means for your FPL Draft?

    We got through all 20 Premier League clubs and deliver our pre-season verdicts, picking out the players who have forced their way into the conversation ahead of draft night.

    For every team, we flag the star players of pre-season, question whether one prominent performer will actually get minutes once the competitive action begins, reveal our FPL Draft Gamble, and identify One to Watch - a player who won't make your draft-night squad but could become a factor as the season unfolds.

    Who has genuinely improved their draft stock?

    Who are we being sucked in by?

    And which names should be on your watchlist?

    The final clues are in. DRAFT NIGHT IS COMING.

    I've also teamed up with Draft FC and my top 150 rankings are now part of their pre-season pack.

  15. FPL Draft Sleepers - The Players Everyone's Ignoring!

    Show notes

    Everyone’s ignoring them. You shouldn’t be.

    In this episode of The FPL Draft Zone, we count down the players who aren’t getting the attention they deserve ahead of the 2026/27 Fantasy Premier League Draft season.

    These aren’t your obvious first-round superstars – these are overlooked players, underrated picks and potential draft night bargains who could add serious quality to your squad once the biggest names have all been taken.

    We break down why each player is being undervalued, look at the numbers behind their potential and explain where we’d be prepared to take them on big night.
