Silly Season | Double Gameweek 28
04/03/2024 Duration: 01h27minWe’re back as the mist starts to clear and Gameweek 29 strategies start to be solidified, albeit slightly upended by freak injuries and a certain Phil Foden making a major case to be a potential season keeper. This week, we assess him and a few others in terms of their value vs their listed price – what if FPL was repriced tomorrow, how would they come out? And what does that tell us about FPL assets later in the season? Plus the options for chip strategising come to a head as DGW28's transfers seemingly rely on how you're approaching navigating the blank week that immediately follows. We discuss those strategies, as well as best transfers and whether you will or you, er, will be captaining Solanke for DGW28. Leave a like and subscribe if you enjoy the show!

26/02/2024 Duration: 01h34minWith crucial information to come later this week, the regulat WGTA crew are joined by TikTok star and all-round good bloke FPL Cim to run through the different scenarios we could be about to face, and how we would react to each of them! In installment one of a two parter this week (we won't be live for the second part as it's during the workday - it'll be at lunchtime, employers! - and we might be in poor locations for audio) we look at the three scenarios FPL managers may encounter due to the FA Cup results as a primer for you to think about how to approach planning from here. Plus we look at best captain (Saka vs Haaland vs... others!) and best transfers in across positions (again, with the FA Cup results in mind!)

Double Trouble | Gameweek 26
21/02/2024 Duration: 01h19minDGW25 failed to live up to many of our lofty expectations (what else is new), so the WGTA take a wider look at setting up for Double Gameweeks and how they can potentially act as distractions from the greater good (Hot Fuzz reference implied). We look at the psychology of Outcome in FPL, and how that might temper how we view double gameweeks going forward. Plus in the gameweek preview we look at the midfield prospects to replace Jota, Darwin replacements in the forward line (Solanke or Hojland?) and defenders (er, anyone?). And do we keep faith in Haaland as captain? Please subscribe and leave a 5* review if you enjoy the show!
