Who Got The Assist? FPL Podcast

Tom & Sam get straight to the point and start with Joao Pedro replacements: who's moonwalking in for us?

Onto form Vs fixtures (is Tav obvious), the Offramp and Haaland is the captain again (probably).

And then the key talking point: a tricky week creates yet more possible injuries for #fpl managers, so we survey the landscape to try to figure out what the impacts are for us.

Especially interesting is if an unintended consequence of the rather flat pricing structure this year has led to team value having diminished impact this campaign (at least, so far) as many have a ridiculous amount in the bank - what does that mean? And what players come to the fore should money be no object?

Transfers in and out feel a little academic thus far, so this week Sam & Tom take a little look into two price brackets which are of growing interest to #FPL managers: the ~5.0m defenders and the "third striker" (including junking the spot) to help with planning and to assist in making those decisions when it comes to it.

Plus a tricky week for captaincy despite quite a heavy template at the moment, which we'll also touch on.

After a good (Sam) and bruising (Tom) return to FPL, we’re back into the rhythm ahead of Gameweek 7.

But who’s made early moves? Hmm.

Either way, we’re here to preview the weekend ahead with Brighton dominating the transfers in still, the likes of Bruno shedding owners in the Off Ramp, and surely a slam dunk captaincy for Haaland.

Plus in the talking point: Sam's therapy chaise longue is in session: how can Tom stop the drop and resurrect what is in danger of being a proper Banter Season?

Hey you, you’re finally awake.

Yes, the longest international break in history is finally nearing its conclusion and us #FPL managers are awakening from our slumber, meaning Tom & Sam are back to finally preview Gameweek 6!

We've got man flu but we power through.

Following on from our pod before our week off, we’re going from macro to micro as we look ahead to the #fantasypremierleague return, with form vs. fixtures picking up players WC6 will be looking at, an extended look at the offramp to see what players have fallen off substantially, season long, and also a tricky captaincy call this week.

Plus a look at what a Gameweek 6 Wildcard might look like and how different it is from ours in GW5, and maybe even the first wave in GW3/4.

Join Sam and Tom on a classic WGTA deep dive as we look through the #FPL data generated from the first 5 gameweeks to ask how this, it's fair to say, unpredictable season is unfolding.

Plus some nominees for players to watch, and we suppose a quick at how our wildcards ended up.

We'll take a break in the middle week of international break, so we'll be back to preview #fantasypremierleague GW6 on Tuesday 6th October.

Sam's on Wildcard! But is Tom joining him?

After a Triple Captain disappointment for the former and a Free Hit of objective failure and subjective success for the latter, could yet more buttons be pushed by the WGTA cohosts?

Either way, the regulars remain the same: form Vs fixtures, the off ramp and the (narrower) captaincy debate ahead of #fantasypremierleague GW5.

And then... wildcards. What does Sam's look like? Has Tom wildcarded?

Tune in to find out.

After the first “mid” week of the #fantasypremierleague season for many, Sam & Tom look through the varying responses managers are taking – from Free Hits, through Wildcards, to just riding it out.

Tom’s Free Hit is active for 4 as planned – sort of – and Sam’s had a look at the counterpart wildcards which are live out there.

Additionally, a transfer window roundup, in Form vs Fixtures we run the rule over the candidates being considered for purchase this week, and in the Offramp we look at those being sold and try to cut through the noise.

Plus who gets the armband this week?

After another blockbuster week for Sam and one where Tom founds how how it feels to be underwhelmed with a triple digit score, both of us are likely to have chips active!

We cover Sam's dilemma (free hit or wildcard?), which helps us inform form Vs fixtures and also figure out who's worth the same in the Offramp.

Plus a discussion on triple captaincy on Haaland this week and our teams for #fantasypremierleague GW3.

After an opening weekend of ridiculously good (Sam) and moderate (Tom) success, we pick over the wreckage of the first dose of 38 #fantasypremierleague Gameweeks.

We'll discuss form vs. fixture for #FPL picks; the Offramp (are player being sold too early; should any be being sold at all?); the main talking point revolving around standard advice on not overthinking gameweek 1 and not thinking it's all been solved and how we set up for gw2.

It’s the final WGTA of 2025/26 before we break for summer.

Tom & Sam are in to review their Gameweek 38s and their own seasons – what went well what didn’t? – before launching into an analysis of the 2025/26 season in classic WGTA style.

Looking at the data, we evaluate points scoring in #FantasyPremierLeague this year and how underperforming premiums – who may be a fading force in FPL – and DefCon have combined to produce what may be a new era for #FantasyFootball, enabling us to make some predictions for next year.

We also cover off our one week punts and season long bold claims for the year, before handing out our annual end of year awards to bring the curtain down on another season of WGTA.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

BACK IN JULY (OR WHEN THE GAME RELAUNCHES FOR 26/27).

Ahead of the final day, Sam and Tom are in to look over the fixture list, do the usual last day ritual walk down memory lane, and pick out some players who might be on the menu as last gasp punts for those chasing.

Plus the finale of the one week punt and the last captaincy discussion of the season before we unveil our probable final sides.

We'll be back one more time this season next week to wrap things up, but if this was your last pod with us THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE SUPPORT 💜

Sam's joined by Tom back from paternity leave to preview the last-but-one #fantasypremierleague gameweek as we try to spot players who'll give managers that final push 🫸🏻

Which Arsenal picks are the best? Which other games might we target players in? And how might that differ depending on your FT situation?

Plus our regulars: #fantasyfootball captaincy - quite a tough one this week - and one week punt picks.

Sam is joined by Mo in Tom's absence this week, as we delve into the final Double Gameweek of the #FPL season.

But the key question is, is it anything to actually get excited about?

We preview DGW36, which (if any) Palace players are worth the punt for #fantasypremierleague managers, or are there some more appealing options outside of those with the Double.

With chips left on the table, are we worried about the impact they'll have on our #fantasyfootball ranks this week?

Also the usual good stuff too, including One week punts, captaincy & our transfer plans for the week ahead.

Sam & Tom continue the meta discussions on a week where many WC32ers (we'll get to WC35, don't worry!) are set for gameweek, this time focusing on how #fantasypremierleague premium assets have perhaps failed to perform this year and if it's a one off or a start of a wider trend.

Then it's into previewing the weekend of #fantasyfootball, with WC35 picks and transfer targets analysed to understand what key points of difference may be for those on the alternative pathway.

Our regulars round off the show, including if Haaland versus a sometimes stubborn could be overlooked for the armband in favour of Bruno for the big clash with Liverpool at Old Trafford.

Sam will be back next week. Almost definitely not Tom!

As a - rather successful, thanks to Brighton defence! - #FPL bench boost week comes to its conclusion, Sam & Tom are in to paradoxically figure out if it's time for #fantasypremierleague to sunset the chip in favour of a shakeup.

Press conferences also don't escape our scrutiny, as the lack of information regarding Joao Pedro sticks in the craw for many #fantasyfootball managers.

Then it's the regulars - one week punt, captain - to tidy up before we turn to the week ahead and Free Hit for those on the WC32 BB33 FH34 pathway. We reveal our draft(s), debate the possible routes of attack and also talk over what those not on Free Hit might wish to consider for the upcoming blank gameweek.

Sam (definitely) and Tom (maybe) will be back next Tuesday.
