  • Josh's Free Hit & Best Strategies for FPL's GW29 Blank

    Josh's Free Hit & Best Strategies for FPL's GW29 Blank
    Mar 10 2025

    Join Josh and Brandon as we recap the Premier League's ups and downs, highs and lows from this weekend. Major disappointment for Cole Palmer punters who can only watch in terror as Salah break's the single-season points record (that he already owned) . . . in March. But it's guaranteed that Salah will not factor in GW29 as Liverpool blank in favor of their League Cup final against Newcastle. Thusly, Newcastle also blank in GW29, as do Aston Villa and Crystal Palace. So, what strategies are best suited to getting through next weekend? Josh has committed to a Free Hit and takes us through his picks for the gameweek, while Brandon will use his stockpile of free transfers to move on some useless players. With that, we take a well-rounded view of what's to come, also weigh in on Manchester City's potential impact, and deliberate heavily on the optimal captaincy options. Hail Cheaters!

  • GW28 FPL Preview & Preparing for GW29 Blanks

    GW28 FPL Preview & Preparing for GW29 Blanks
    Mar 3 2025
    Join Josh and Brandon as we look ahead to GW28 and key FPL transfers and captain picks. The main talking point might be manufactured concern over Mo Salah's minutes against Southampton. Is that enough to scare us off the armband or even a Triple Captain chip? Plus, we recap the weekend's FA Cup results and consider what impact the quarterfinal draw will have on the fantasy calendar. A red card suspension for Cunha and head injury for Mateta complicate our thinking, too, with GW29 fixture blanks around the corner—many strategies are are still on the table, with or without a Free Hit.

    Midweek Deadline Alert! It's Our GW27 FPL Preview.
    Feb 24 2025
    Join Josh and Brandon as we recap the highs and lows of GW26—including a postmortem on our Assistant Manager chip experiences—then quickly look ahead to Tuesday's midweek GW27 deadline. A key question is on Cole Palmer and whether he can reemerge as an FPL darling with the two best home fixtures of any fantasy pick in the next two gameweeks. Do we dare we give Cole the armband? Plus, we discuss how the GW29 blanks for Liverpool, Newcastle, Aston Villa, and Crystal Palace should impact our upcoming transfer and chip strategies—speaking of, what even is the optimal chip strategy at the moment? Let's dig in. Hail Cheaters!
