    Our Fantasy Premier League managers discuss two different approaches to Blank Gameweek 35 in our latest podcast.We have decided to record in two legs (a la Champions League) this week, while we sit at the Double Gameweek 34 half-way stage.David and Jak discuss how their teams are getting on so far with both the Triple Captain and Bench Boost still in play for them.But the key discussion topic this week was how to plan for Blank Gameweek 35, with a specific look at the sides who have played their single DGW34 fixture already.More importantly, David tells us what his Free Hit squad might look like while Jak explains his approach to BGW35 and the rest of the season because he has no such chip to fall back on.#FPL #FantasyPremierLeague #PremierLeague #thfc #mufc #mcfc #lfc #DGW34 #fantasyfootball For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.

    31: Best chips to use in FPL Double Gameweek 34 - Bench Boost, Triple Captain or Free Hit
    Apr 10 2018
    The big double gameweek questions dominate are thinking on the latest episode.In particular we assess which of the FPL chips could make the biggest difference for you in DGW34.The Bench Boost, Triple Captain and Free Hit all have their merits, but which one will David or Jak go for?Whether or not Harry Kane is an essential asset for DGW34 and which Manchester United player is the best to own were two other debates we look to settle.That and the little matter of Jak's anger over Kane having his "goal" at Stoke chalked off.#FPL #FantasyPremierLeague #PremierLeague #thfc #mufc #mcfc #lfc #DGW34 #fantasyfootball For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.

    To Kane or not to Kane? That is the question ahead of Spurs' trip to Stoke in Gameweek 33.The talismanic striker Sir Harold returned way ahead of schedule in Gameweek 32 and has both David and Jak worried about getting him back.We discuss whether it's worth breaking even a Wildcard team to transfer him in as well as the future of Roberto Firmino and Chelsea players in our team.The latest assist controversy, involving Son Heung-min and Skhodran Mustafi, got given some well-earned air time with Jak particularly unhappy!#fpl #fantasypremierleague #harrykane #kane #tottenhamhotspur #spurs #thfc #cfc #chelseafc #liverpoolfc #lfc #firmino For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.

    28: Should you sign FPL players who won't play in a blank gameweek?
    Mar 13 2018
    Whether or not you should sign players who don’t have a fixture in the next gameweek is a subject of discussion on Waiting On the Bonus Points this week.Some FPL managers have been transferring in the likes of Son Heung-min, Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford for Gameweek 31, despite the fact that they will not play – because of their involvement in the FA Cup.With discussions about how to plan for the upcoming blank and double gameweeks without Wildcard and Free Hit chips, David and Jak speculate if this is how some managers are future-proofing their squads.Our very small of players eligible to be signed in Blank Gameweek 31 increases slightly this week after some differentials emerged in Gameweek 30.That means David and Jak have been able to update their very unreliable-looking BGW31 squad.With injuries to Sergio Aguero and Harry Kane we also look ahead at some potential long-term replacements for them if they end up sidelined permanently.For more tips on how to navigate the blank and double gameweeks without a Wildcard and/or Free Hit chip, listen to last week’s episode HERE: http://bit.ly/2FCLPKJ For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.

    27: How to navigate blank and double gameweeks WITHOUT a Wildcard or Free Hit chip
    Mar 7 2018
    Our Fantasy Premier League podcast 'Waiting On the Bonus Points' returned this week after a short hiatus - and it's finally time to talk about 'Chip season'.How to ensure you have a decent team playing in blank Gameweek 31 was our big talking point as FPL bosses work out how to navigate the peaks and troughs of the next few weeks, particularly with their GW30 transfers in mind.If you've still got all your chips left then David's advice will help you work out when to play them.But those of you with only a few of them left can benefit from hearing how Jak will play out the rest of the campaign, because he's in the same boat as you.  GW31 is proving particularly problematic considering that there seem to be very few avenues for investment, so David and Jak combine forces in an attempt to name a starting XI for it and in what order you should sign those players.As people continue to sign Mohamed Salah even at this late stage of the campaign, we assess whether or not it's too late to bring him in if you haven't done already.#FPL #FantasyPremierLeague #PremierLeague #EPL #BPL #liverpoolfc #watfordfc #stokecity #evertonfc #afcbournemouth #westbrom #huddersfieldtown #crystalpalace For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.

    Mohamed Salah punished our podcasters again this week by delivering in another big game.Which got us wondering why the Egyptian has not been our captain more often this season.Guest star Tom Cantle from Who Got the Assist? delved into the psychology of picking a captain while host David Munday bemoaned his poor form when it comes to skippers this season.Jak took on another forfeit after recording his lowest net score of the whole campaign and we checked in on how the January transfer window and deadline day signings have settled in ahead as we look towards the final run in of 2017/18.#FantasyPremierLeague #FPL #PremierLeague #Liverpool #lfc #Salah #MoSalah For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
