Waiting On the Bonus Points comes to an emotional close in this final farewell episode.
We got the band back together for the finale as Mr Emotional Beren Cross returned one last time after an impressive Free Hit score in Blank Gameweek 35.
Gut man Jak Ball and Stat man David Munday took the opportunity to reveal what their plans are for the season run-in including the best time to deploy their remaining chips.
But the main focus for this final episode was a look back at our personal highlights of recording this podcast this season.
We also give you our listeners a special tribute for helping this podcast become such a success. We can’t thank you enough for your support!

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.

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.

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!

Waiting On the Bonus Points discusses the best time to Wildcard as the FPL community debates the pros and cons of Gameweek 32 and 33.
Our own bosses David Munday and Jak Ball pick out some of the most essential players to include on the Wildcard for those playing it this week and answer some of your questions.
Anyone with queries over Manchester City post-title win, whether to include Roberto Firmino for much longer and the best Leicester player to have, Jamie Vardy or Riyad Mahrez will hopefully find this week's episode helpful!
Blank Gameweek 31 also gets a thorough review after Free Hitters enjoyed their biggest green arrows of the season.
Have a listen to see if we gave you the manager of the week award!

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.

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.

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.

Sergio Aguero made all the difference in GW25 as our latest forfeit got swung right at the dead.
In Beren's final episode we discuss the transfer deadline dealings and whether or not they will affect our FPL plans for the future.
Cheap budget strikers get another look as Jordan Ayew and Callum Wilson both make their case for inclusion going forward.
And we solve the puzzle of which Manchester United attacker should be in your side both for the upcoming Huddersfield Town game and long-term.
We finish this farewell episode for Beren with the most dramatic Friday Night Deadline Quiz in the history of the show. It's got everything, chips galore, late drama and bags of emotion! For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy -
Sergio Aguero propels himself back into the FPL discussions after his hat-trick against Newcastle in GW25 - and our managers have mixed opinions on him.
Harry Kane's tricky fixtures have many an FPL boss considering the next #Kanexit movement and David, Beren and Jak revealed where they sit on that particular debate.
Despite David suffering some horrendous bad luck with Chelsea's troll-jobs Eden Trollard and Andreas Christentroll, he ended up dodging a bullet as Liverpool were beaten at Swansea.
So Beren takes on a familiar forfeit having finished GW24 with just 46 points.
Alexis Sanchez grabs himself some air-time as the community considers tearing up their teams to get him in.
We also take a look at the movers and shakers in the Herald's mini-league. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy -
On this week’s show we discuss the increased need to wait a little longer before making your transfers during the January transfer window.
A lot of FPL bosses like to try and beat the price rises in order to assemble a more expensive squad but when the transfer window is open, things can change much more quickly.
Our podcasters David Munday, Beren Cross and Jak Ball toyed with the pros and cons of waiting until after the press conferences at this time of year and whether or not you should too.
Elsewhere, there was severe GW23 disappointment for David who takes on his first musical forfeit of the season in this episode, and contemplates his first defeat since early December.
We’ve got an exciting new feature in our quiz too so dive into the latest episode of Waiting On the Bonus Points!

We are back with a bang in 2018 as our FPL bosses recover after a manic Christmas period.
All three of them experience grief at the turn of the year as there was Triple Captain problems, Mo Salah price drop problems and mindless Wildcard decisions at every turn.
One of them did so bad over the festive fixtures that they ended up taking on the dreaded Christmas Leftovers Challenge.
We picked apart Jak's particularly questionable Wildcard to act as a warning to anyone else playing theirs and there was more drama in our Friday Night Deadline - an FPL quiz.

Fantasy Premier League injury expert Ben Dinnery was our special guest on the Christmas episode of Waiting On the Bonus Points this week.
He gave us the scoop on what it's like to deal with FPL injuries and fitness tests on the front lines and handed out some helpful advice for how to handle your squad over Christmas.
Our seasonal puns made a return as David and Jak went head-to-head in an attempt to be crowned the Christmas Pun Champion.
It was another forfeit for Jak this week as his December run continues to cause him great frustration. You watch his special 'FPL Dance' by following the link below.
As usual, we answered questions from the community who this week were wondering whether it was time to get back Paul Pogba (£7.9m) back in their squads.
Our FPL quiz was as close as ever this week as Beren and David were foxed by some tricky festive questions!

The FPL Cup left all three of our podcasters in a dull mood after GW18 as we round-up the biggest fails from that competition on our latest episode.
Jak experienced one of his worst ever gameweeks as an FPL boss as managers all over the world were well and truly stitched up.
We had our first Christmas-style forfeit this week as we looked ahead to the manic fixture schedule over the next two weeks.
The likes of Chelsea and Everton were looked at as teams to invest in for the near future while Romelu Lukaku came back into discussions again.
There was also plenty of drama in our quiz as usual with a ridiculous high-scoring battle this time around!

A short time ago Fantasy Football managers were racking their brains to work out which of the many goal happy strikers to leave out of their teams.But now it seems as though none of them are capable of exploding with midfielders now taking pole position in the must have lists.
Gabriel Jesus, Sergio Aguero, Harry Kane and Romelu Lukaku have been some of the biggest disappointments of late, while Alvaro Morata and Alexander Lacazette not doing much better.
On this episode of Waiting on the Bonus Points that is one of the many discussions between the Gutman turned host (Jak Ball), Mr Emotional (Beren Cross) and The Sleeper (Richard Amofa).
We also debated whether or not it was time to take Everton players a little more seriously after the arrival of Sam Allardyce.
Also up for discussion was Mohammed Salah and Eden Hazard, Burnley's lofty heights, the Champions League and dark horses for a busy December.
We also held the second leg of the Ball v Amofa Friday Night Deadline quiz after the first round ended in a 2-2 draw.

There was plenty of late drama to completely swing the most recent forfeit in GW14 after Wednesday night's games changed everything.The fortunes of our podcast experts ended up completely reversed after GW13 - because we doubled up the ante!
With our forfeit out of the way we had time to discuss whether or not Manchester United would come back into our thinking this season now that Chelsea seem to be the team to focus on.
Elsewhere, we looked at how many Spurs players to sign or sell given their dip in form.
And there was more drama in Friday Night Deadline - our FPL quiz!

The underwhelming performances of Tottenham's Harry Kane and Romelu Lukaku has a big talking point around the Fantasy Premier League Community of late.And that is no surprise with the pair costing £12.8m and £11.5m respectively, although it is Kane that is perhaps the biggest cause of concern.
We discuss a shocking statistic for both the 'in' and 'out' arguments and ask whether there is cheaper and better options out there.
A number of teams have some 'point-banking' runs over the next few weeks, with Crystal Palace players possibly being risks worth taking.
We have had a look at the schedule of Roy Hodgson's men, but they aren't the only team with tasty fixtures.
And with January just around the corner we ask whether it is time for those who haven't played their wildcard to do so, before it goes to waste.
David Munday didn't pass a late fitness test so Gut Man Jak Ball took on the role of host.
He was joined by Mr Emotional Beren Cross, who had the worst reaction to a forfeit yet, and The Sleeper Richard Amofa.
And it was Gut Man v The Sleeper in the latest Friday Night Deadline quiz, could you do better than both of them? Listen and play along at home.

How Crystal Palace can help Fantasy Premier League managers regain lost ground in their mini-leagues was the big talking point on the latest episode of Waiting On the Bonus Points.On our weekly FPL podcast we also discussed the fallout from the most recent international break and what effect the injuries will have on people's teams.
We then debated whether or not Manchester United would be back to their best in GW12 when they host Newcastle United.
The north London derby was a big talking point too as two teams with big FPL assets go head-to-head with each other.
On top of that, as the season reaches its twelfth gameweek, we discussed the use of differentials now that many managers need them more than before.
So if you're trailing behind in your FPL mini-leagues then listen to our advice on the options currently available at Crystal Palace.
As ever there was plenty of drama in our FPL quiz too so listen in and play along at home!

It was the bonus points that settled the outcome of this week's Fantasy Premier League forfeit as Manchester United, Chelsea and Watford all made their mark on our experts.With one manager safe by Sunday lunch-time, the other two were locked in a deadly slug-fest that afternoon with the forfeit swinging from boss-to-boss several times.
In the end, one of our podcasters had to consume something rather disgusting - make sure you watch the video later this week!
We also discussed the lessons we've learned so far this season now that 11 gameweeks have been consigned to the history books and we took questions from the community.
On top of that we had a big shock in our second edition of Friday Night Deadline - our FPL quiz!
