The Premier League restart is only a few days away and this episode focuses on the opening FPL fixtures, which happen to be a double gameweek. So, what are the best approaches for playing the double? Just how good, from the jump, do we expect Manchester City to be? Are Arsenal even worth the trouble? And in what ways can we mitigate the risk of inevitable team rotation? We delve into some chip theory with free hit and bench boost discussions, and also touch upon single-gameweek players that are worth transferring in. Plus, stay tuned for some bold predictions from our listeners on how they envision the next nine fantasy gameweeks shaking out. Good luck this week! Hail Cheaters! Presented by BetOnline.ag.

The Premier League is returning to action on June 17, and it's also been confirmed that FPL is along for the ride! To help get us back into the fantasy mindset, this week we're asking ten unique questions about what we can expect from a rebooted season: How do the opening fixtures look and what are the implications of a double game-week kicking things off? Have we given more thought to the prospect of a round of unlimited transfers? And will line-up rotation and five in-game substitutions upset the norms of building a reliable fantasy squad? We discuss these issues and more and look at what our recent experiences with Fantasy Bundesliga have taught us fantasy in an uncertain era. Hail Cheaters! Presented by BetOnline.ag.

Without any concrete news to report from the Premier League and FPL, we’ve turned to our listeners for topics. In this week’s “mailbag” episode, we answer questions about the state of football in quarantine. How can this season be salvaged? Will FPL ever come back? And, well, here’s an easy one: How do we define money and measure the cost of late-stage capitalism? Plus, in the most cheerful way possible, we reveal which clubs we’d most like to buy and/or destroy. Hail Cheaters!

But, as a thought experiment during this surreal down-time, we at Always Cheating decided to take a shot and inventing some new rules for FPL. What does the fantasy game already have that can be improved? What does it not have that can be introduced? From chips and team formations to transfer deadlines and bonus point systems, we're tweaking and perfecting virtually every aspect of FPL for its eventual and triumphant return. Hail Cheaters!

With no new Premier League action or fantasy happenings, Josh and Brandon set their sights on the past and list their favorite FPL assets from recent history. And as we run through the best goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders, and forwards, we find that "favorite" doesn't always mean what you think it means. Along the way, we reminisce about our own greatest moments playing the FPL game since we began back in 2011. Hail Cheaters! Presented by BetOnline.ag.

The action from GW28 was chaotic, to say the least, but players like Bruno Fernandes, Diogo Jota, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin continue to rack up FPL points.

And who are the differentials that will help this wildcard really climb the ranks? Plus we preview GW29 fixtures and captaincy options, along with our upcoming trip to the UK. Hail Cheaters!

Is it true that you can close a gap of 100 points in your FPL mini league with just eleven weeks to go? Is it false that form trumps fixtures? Is it true that Manchester United now have to be taken seriously by fantasy managers? Is it false that Kevin de Bruyne is the only Manchester City asset worth owning? Is it true that underlying stats are overrated? Is it false that there are no worthwhile midfielders priced below £6.0? We answer these questions and more, along with a preview of GW28 transfer and captaincy conundrums. Hail Cheaters! Presented by BetOnline.ag.

There's not much in the way of FPL news as we find ourselves only three-tenths of the way through a long GW26. So, we thought, what the heck? Let's just ask our listeners to send in a bunch of random fantasy and non-fantasy questions for us to answer. Listen in as Josh and Brandon critique each other's FPL tactics, talk about how they first met, and debate who of the duo would win in a penalty shootout. Hail Cheaters!
