New Episode!
It's a bit of a greatest hits pod this week as we talk about Arsenal's three "trophies" under Arteta, James Maddison being the real deal(or not), and the the glorious fall of Man City. We talk Iwobi vs Amad, the struggles of Liverpool's underlying numbers, Bell X1 and cured salmon.
Enjoy!!

There's a lot to cover in this week's pod, with two GWs to digest, as well as the biggest in-game news of the season...
We start by wondering how much Robbie's sold his soul to the FPL Devils for, as all his decisions come to fruition, while Paddy is left to rue his choices- however well thought out they were.
The mystery chip is revealed, and while we tried to stay open-minded, lets just say, we are not fans. We draw unfavorable comparisons between the Spurs and Southampton managers, become possibly the first ever podcast to commend Cole Palmer's intelligence, give praise to Mikel Arteta (yes it's true) for figuring out how the fouling attackers have an incredible advantage in the penalty box, start a campaign to get rid of the misnomer that is "The Big Six", and finish with our trademark question of the week.
A bumper pod for you, enjoy!!

Manglende episoder?

A pair of great GW scores, means two happy lads. Robbie aims higher than his current 3,499, Paddy eyes getting within a hundred of Robbie.
lots of talk about the City and Pep implosion, the likeability of Amorim, Liverpool playing somehow playing everyone at the right time, and Chelsea as the team to target.
Enjoy your pos that little bit early this week...

It's late, enjoy the pod!!

Well that was a long International break...
But we're back, and we've a bumper,hour long episode for you, talking all things FPL and football in general. On tonight's show we attempt to figure out what makes Spurs, well, Spurs, and ask, will someone not think about the referees? We find out that Robbie may well be setting up a family league next year, and why he may already be calling for Slot's head.
Paddy is feeling the Bruno love, whilst wondering if Pep's new contract is a sham, there's captaincy choices to make, the Sunday curse gets a mention, there's not much Arsenal for a change, and we give Brentford a bit of well earned praise for becoming the league's new entertainers.
Enjoy your pod!

We’re back! And we’re particularly pleased with ourselves for coming up with this week’s title…
On this pod, we pack a lot into our forty minutes. We find out how Robbie’s wildcard went, ask how long can the Haaland yips last, while praising Bournemouth and their process. We give
Chris Woods and Notts Forest all the flowers they richly deserve, explain why club bias can kill you two different ways, ask if Mason Mount could become a game changer, and conspiratorise why Amorim’s appointment was probably arranged a long time ago.
We finish with our varying plans for the weekend as one of us goes on a day trip to Anfield (and probably ranting all day about FPL to his 8 year old daughter), while the other goes eating and drinking the finest the Boyne Valley has to offer.
Enjoy your pod!

After a shocker of a GW, we're here to pick the bones out of the week and to let you know it'll all be ok- most of the rest of us feel your pain...
Apart from Robbie of coure. He's in contrary form this week, looking for sympathy for his team (after going top of every single private league he's in), explains why Curtis Jones actually DIDN'T play well against Chelsea, how it was the Liverpool board and not Klopp who were responsible for their seamless managerial transition, and why Arsenal's disciplinary record in the Premier League compared to the Champions League is because referees just don't like Arteta.
On the other side of the mic, Paddy just tries to keep up,his biggest complaint is that Mazraoui's heart flutters gave him palpitations too, as he came off the bench for a solitary point.
We also discuss referees being miked up, the ongoing trials of being a Spurs fan or manager, discuss the two worst transfers in our league, and ask the question, " is Trent secretly becoming a good defender?"
Enjoy your pod!!

We’re back after the world’s longest ever international break!
We’re strung out, but looking forward to our FPL injection this weekend, as we get our heads together for a bumper episode of fantasy chat.
We become a little philosophical about the concept of philosophy and time, get stuck into the once impossible idea of a Haaland-less team with a tasty sounding midfield instead, and try and figure out the bonus points system. Jurgen Klopp’s hypocrisy gets outted, James Maddison goes missing again, sir Johnnie Evans gets his dues, we extol the virtues of paid money league entertainments, and finish off with an enjoyable hit of Ulster football bashing.
Enjoy your pod!!

Episode 8 is here, and instead of our usual state of affairs, this time it's Paddy coming on off of a great GW4, while Robbie- not so much- but he still managed to make it a winning weekend.
We go in, two footed, on both North London teams, we stress the importance of patience in the game and the scourge of online hysteria.
One of us is getting painfully tempted by Marcus Rashford, we ask if Chelsea might be the real deal, there's some James Maddison chat, and we round off the pod with our patented trivia question- and if you get this week's right, we'll know you've cheated.
Enjoy your listening!!

Did everyone else hate the international break? We’re back and even though there’s been no Premier League, we’ve got lots to talk about.
We start off with our transfer and wildcard strategies (or lack of them in one case!) and talk Declan Rice and Juergen Klopp making a show of themselves. Robbie’s hit the “let’s get my spreadsheet out” phase, while Paddy is bit more “wait and see”, we run through the games for the upcoming week, and finish off with our patented question of the week. Enjoy the pod!!
-
We're back with right before the very annoying international break, and the fear of the weekend without FPL is real...
Nevertheless, we plough on and celebrate what’s proving to be a brilliant FPL year so far, we have a look back at last week's performances, go through the all the big talking points and check how well the week went for all our listeners.
Along the way we discuss why Declan Rice means Arsenal can't win the league, the effect the new and shiny Champion's League will have on the FPL, why we go all Kenny Rogers on our transfers, and much much more.
Enjoy the pod...
-
We're rolling with it into GW3, as Robbie comes off the back of a pretty healthy score and starts his move up the tables-but fear not! it's early yet.
We have the tinfoil hat out on a few occasions this episode, was we lay out some conspiracy theories about petrocurrencies affecting big games, why bonus points may be influenced by youtubers and twitterers, and why price drops may be designed to drive traffic to the FPL
website.
We also dive into the possibly false narrative surrounding the Chelsea team, argue about the merits of Coldplay, run through our leagues, chat about next week's big fixture, and finish off with our "amazing" trivia question.
Enjoy folks!!
-
It's GW1, and now the season starts a-proper.
On this week's show we ponder the butterfly effect of Eze's disallowed goal, give as much love to Jamie Vardy as we do sympathy to big Ange, and wonder if anyone knew Barco was a ginger before they saw our episode cover.
We realise that while fireworks and risks may bring temporary enjoyment, a slow and safe approach is best for your mental health at this early stage of the season. We look at Chelsea's squad building plan and ask that age old question- "what the hell is happening?", become perhaps a little smug and annoying about our teams, and round off the pod with our "brilliant" trivia question of the week.
Enjoy the pod, podders!!
-
Its team reveal and predictions time, and one of us is smug and happy with his final team, while the other will be furiously fidgeting until the 6.30pm deadline- can you guess who's who?
There's some truly outlandish predictions made as optimism and delusion hits an all time high, while there's also a high degree of panic as we realise we may be considering actually picking a Spurs defender, as well as putting Chris Wood into one of our teams. FPL plays with your mind folks...
Enjoy the pod everyone, and best wishes for the season ahead from all at the IBLFPL team.
-
It's our A to Z of the players to watch and avoid for te beginning of the FPL year, as we try to advise you of some hidden gems, point out the main men to avoid, and spring the biggest traps of the season....
-
We're back!!
Come on, admit it, you didn't expect us after our performances last year, but here we are, putting our heads above the parapet once again because we just love our audience and the FPL.
We start the season with a little discussion on the new rule changes (love the rollover transfers, hate the Mystery Chip), our wish from last year is granted as Haaland's price rise makes choosing him an actual choice, and discuss our concept of "effective pricing".
We each pick a player to watch and avoid in each position, give three basic tips to get your season off to a flyer, and mention far too many times how bad we were last year.
Enjoy the pod!!

It's our final episode of the season, so it seems appropriate that today's the day that Robbie attains a Skynet level of self-awareness and tries to come to terms with the fact that maybe, just maybe, he's not always the smartest FPL person in the room.
Paddy gets ever so sentimental about what a year's worth of podcasting has done for the lads, we give out our end of season awards, discuss Pep vs Fergie, the story of The Chippendales, and of course, congratulate all the league winners as well.
We've had a ball with the podcast this year, and if you've taken the time to listen to us for a single minute, or for every single minute, we thank you singularly. Now go on, piss off and enjoy a fantasy free summer, and we'll see you for series 2 in August. It'll be here before you know it...
