Always Cheating Fpl Podcast

Injuries, disappointments, and disappearing clean sheets. #GW6 presented some challenges for our #FPL squads, but Always Cheating hosts Josh and Brandon are determined to find the fun within this season's fiascos. First off, we look at the underlying Opta stats for the Liverpool and Arsenal midfielders (both teams with a run of enticing fixtures) and pick the best of the bunch. Then it's a discussion of how best to spend in your defense, choosing between budget and premium options. And finally we try to put sell-by dates on some of this week's flops: Zlatan to Hazard, Lamela to Payet. Plus a #GW7 preview and your listener questions. Hail Cheaters!

Josh's wildcard is active as we hurtle toward #GW6 and the imminent return of Sergio Aguero. Brandon, distinctly not on his wildcard, is left to parse the approximately one billion different ways he might be able to bring Brocktoon back into his squad. And, in light of everything we've learned from #GW5 performances, the Always Cheating hosts analyze Zlatan's questionable form, Lukaku's momentum, and alternate frontline options. We also debate the optimum FPL team spine, if there even is one, to build a wildcard around and respond to your questions about De Bruyne, Deeney, and the continuing saga of Etienne Capoue.

In recapping the Fantasy Premier League's #GW4, an epic Manchester Derby hardly bears mentioning after the exploits of Diego Costa, Romelu Lukaku, and, yup, you guessed it: Etienne Capoue. Hosts Brandon and Josh do touch upon the two Manchester sides, but the episode largely revolves around our biases toward low-to-mid-priced midfielders, including the likes of Leroy Fer and Robert Snodgrass, and whether you should give in to the hype. We also address the mysterious lack of clean sheets this season and answer listener questions ahead of this weekend's #GW5. Hail Cheaters! Learn more about your ad choices.

The transfer window has closed, the season's first international break is drawing to an end, and countless wildcards are suddenly active: now is the perfect time to assess late-addition key signings and loans that could help your #FPL team heading into #GW4. From Wilshere to Chadli, Bony to Perez, Mustafi to Luiz, Zaza to Slimani, and even the Great Mbokani himself! Always Cheating hosts Josh and Brandon also review the luxury options in Arsenal's midfield and how to strategize for life without (and for the imminent return of) Sergio Aguero. Hail Cheaters!

A relatively average GW3 has not filled us with a great deal of confidence heading into the international break. But would Josh or Brandon consider triggering a wildcard this early in the season? In this episode of Always Cheating, we weigh the options, with a particular focus on established and emerging midfielders: from Hazard to Alexis, Antonio to Drinkwater, how do they all rank? We also take a moment to zero in on Manchester City's evolving squad and which of those players will fit into our FPL lineups in the coming weeks. All of that plus your listener questions.

Always Cheating co-hosts Josh and Brandon reunite (after Brandon's brief stint abroad) to recap the happenings in GW2 of the #FPL. Looking ahead, this episode's key topics focus on Everton's promising fixtures, midfielder must-haves versus differentials, and the best options for your cheap third striker—which, of course, means that we are advocating strongly for the Aguero and Ibrahimovic combo. We also field your listener questions and highlight some of the crucial fixtures for success in GW3. Hail Cheaters! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
