Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our GW38 Preview, the final preview of the season!
For long-time listeners they'll know the format of this show - the lads go through every game (even Burnley vs Forest) trying to pick out the best options for your final GW.
They start by running through the final day permutations for the title, European and all-but sealed relegation battles, before looking over historic final day stats.
Then, game-by-game, the lads spend two minutes running the rule over the must-haves and the differentials that could make all the difference to your final mini-league or rank standings.
After last week's incredibly bold honey trap, are listeners ready for the boldest swimming against the tide in pod history?
And while captaincy may have a familiar feel, all that does is build up the tension for the climatic conclusion of a little game they like to call Who The Heck Is Stat?!

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our GW37 Preview, the penultimate preview of the season!
It's a big double gameweek - the last of the season - with six teams having two fixtures, so a key opportunity for those final chips to be used, especially those that have held their Bench Boost or Triple Captain chip/
The radar has a fresh feel, with additions maybe of a differential nature, given the template feels so strong in FPL at the moment - the best assets are just simply so high owned, the lads offer up some alternatives that may help boost rank but some with the appropriate risks.
Honey traps once again the order of the day, with Andy throwing out perhaps the boldest honey trap in FPL Lounge history...
Captaincy has a Man City focus, natural given their double, but the lads run the rule over some other doublers that could be great armband differentials for those chasing in a mini-league. They finish, with the penultimate game of Who The Heck Is Stat?! of this season.

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our GW36 Preview!
The potential for rolling a transfer looms large over this gameweek but there are still plenty of appealing options for your FPL teams.
The radar looks similar to last week's with great fixtures and doubles still on the horizon for the league's oil rich clubs. Some movement though with players going up, some going off and some newly appearing.
The eyes to next week's double are also wide with the anyone else list slightly longer than usual...
That upcoming double also impacting the tide - its very still and clam out there. Nothing to swim against. So the Honey Traps are back out and they make for some useful consequences for FPL.
Captaincy looks to be open to a few options this week with ranks swings certainly possible and big returns expected for more than one key player. The lads discuss these pros and cons before finishing with what could be a crucial game of Who The Heck Is Stat?!

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our GW35 Preview!
A double gameweek for two teams gives a focus to this week's pod, although with many managers on Wildcard, the lads run through a few permutations including how seriously to take this DGW35 and when the best time is to play your bench boost.
The radar has had a facelift, with plenty of new names to discuss, including a mercurial young Englishman and a super Swede on the mid-range, and a whole host of fringe picks to get you wildcard-ready. Andy even says a few positive things about United players.
Honey trap this week suffers from a bit of groupthink, but there's still some takeaways for managers to use, before they run the rule of the big DGW captain shouts and finish, as ever, with a little game they like to call Who The Heck Is Stat?!

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our DGW34 Preview!
Big double gameweek for seven teams (and a blank for one) means divergent strategies - including in the Lounge! - so the lads run through some thoughts about how to tackle the DGW34 depending on what chips you've left. There's also a focus on European rotation.
The radar has a familiar feel to last week, but with some upgrades for *some* Crystal Palace assets, and the inclusion on the radar for the most expensive defender in the game. Speaking of, they run the rule over Liverpool assets, with a certain attacker notable by his absence... although long-time listeners won't be surprised.
Hold your horses AGAIN and don your swimming trunks AGAIN - there's ANOTHER tide to swim against! This player is no favourite of the Lounge, but even so, the most transferred player in not doubling this week? Not for this podcast.
Captaincy seems a toss up between two assets, neither of whom look great on the eye at the moment. They end, as ever, with a little game they like to call Who The Heck Is Stat?!

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our GW33 Preview!
The key FPL news kicks us off and it focuses on this GW being in a European sandwich.
Like last week, the radar is influenced by the chips you may or may not have left, and by a large DGW looming next week. A couple of new additions make their way on including a previously much maligned FPL asset with some very interesting recent stats. Some interesting returns from injury for big players has also caught the lads' eyes.
Hold your horses and don your swimming trunks - there's actually a tide to swim against! And its a potentially risky one, but the lads explain why they think transferring in one of the league's best players could be an error.
Captaincy seems close this week, with the usual suspects seeming like the best shouts - but which one?! They end, as ever, with a little game they like to call Who The Heck Is Stat?!

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our GW32 Preview!
A shorter pod than usual this week due to work commitments, but a GW32 preview is here all the same, with all the key info you'll need before the deadline.
The lads start with some rotation news from GW31, with several FPL big-hitters either rested to nursing minor injuries.
The GW32 radar includes some new additions, including a budget flying defender, and an upgrade from last week's fringe for a Liverpool midfielder. There are also two players, perhaps a bit reactionary, that will fit nicely into teams FHing in DGW34. The fringe itself has a similar feel to last GW.
The lads save some time by moving straight to captaincy, where it feels a pretty evenly matched field, with Salah, Haaland and Cole Palmer all very spicy options to be considering for the armband this GW.

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our GW31 Preview!
Like buses, you wait aged for one pod and then two come along in quick succession! It's a short turnaround to GW31 but there's plenty of FPL news - most of it injury related - and with little time for press conferences before the deadline, some managers may feel underprepared.
The lads add some fresh blood to the radar though, with another addition to the centre, a rare foray into a double-up defence in the mid-range, and some Liverpool assets on the fringe.
Little to swim against again this week so the lads try to catch each other in their honey traps following a successful trap last week, before a captaincy discussion that is once again, not focused on the machine that is Erling Haaland.
They end, as ever, with a little game they like to call Who The Heck Is Stat?!

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our GW30 Preview!
It's been a while, due to various illness and work commitments, but the lads are back, and they start by looking ahead to the DGW announcements and think about upcoming chip strategies. they also have a look at injury news after the international break, and also discuss FPL's new Fantasy Challenge game.
The radar is brand new, and as strategy-agnostic as they can make it, with TWO players on the centre of the radar - although they'll need no introduction to FPL players. There are budget teammates on the mid-range, and a cheeky cheap goalkeeper to target on the fringe.
Little to swim against this week so the lads try to catch each other in their honey traps, before a captaincy discussion that assesses the merits of four players, three with an appealing home fixture, and the other one is Haaland.
They end, as ever, with captaincy and a little game they like to call Who The Heck Is Stat?!

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our BGW26 Preview!
It's a blank gameweek for 4 teams, with some popular assets missing, so the lads run through those BGW fixtures teams and give an update on the FPL calendar over the next few GWs, with some doubles and a large blank on the horizon.
The radar has the blanks and doubles in mind, with a Bournemouth player on the mid-range despite a tough fixture this week, while the fringe contains a first mention for a Manchester United player, and some budget midfielders that could be useful through the next few GWs.
Little to swim against again this week so the lads try to catch each other in their honey traps, before a captaincy discussion that has an all-too familiar feel.

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our DG25 Preview!
It's a double gameweek for 4 teams, including two of FPL's big-hitters, so the lads run through those DGW fixtures and give an update on Man City's strong side in European competition and some injury news for players on a double.
The radar has a very familiar feel to GW24, with managers wise to target the double with assets with great underlying numbers and high upside this GW.
Little to swim against this week so the lads try to catch each other in their honey traps, before a captaincy discussion including whether to play the Triple Captain chip this GW, and a look ahead to other potential Man City and Liverpool DGWs later in the campaign.
They end, as ever, with captaincy and a little game they like to call Who The Heck Is Stat?!

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for a slightly later GW24 Preview (apologies - there was illness in the lounge!)
Plenty of updates in the FPL world, including two new doubles, some updates on BGW29 and therefore plenty of chat about chip strategy. The lads unpack and dissect it all to keep you up to date.
The radar reflects the changes to the FPL schedule, with DGW25 players featuring prominently, with also a nod to DGW28.
The lads swim against the tide this week with a fairly high-owned player being transferred out en masse, despite having some favourable fixtures - including a double - on the horizon.
Choosing between Liverpool and City assets may be the challenge this week given both have favourable fixtures, but the captaincy segment focuses primarily on these two sides.

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for the GW23 Preview.
Barely a couple of days since the last deadline so not loads of talking points, although some key further info on Mr. Erling Braut Haaland, with his long-awaited return to action.
The radar reflects the impact of the return of one the most expensive and highly owned FPL assets ever in Haaland. The lads discuss how desperate, or not, the need is to get him back in immediately. Another striker at the other end of the price spectrum sneaks his way on as does another Man City premium player and - unusually for the lads - a guy they've got all excited about despite the numbers. Pure vibezzzz.
What's that - can I hear the bees? With very few transfers taking place yet the lads wheel out the honey traps again and try to suggest a scenario they can see happening this gameweek.

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge - it's been a while! - for the GW22 Preview.
Plenty of news to get listeners caught up on, including injury updates on some major FPL hitters, updates on future double and blank gamesweeks, plus a look ahead to a likely big BGW29. The lads also provide a small update on Afcon and the Asian Cup, with few FPL big hitters returning early.
The radar has a similar feel to GW21, but there is a notable addition, although the lads are unsure on his xMins in coming weeks.
Two swims against the tide in consecutive gameweeks is a real rarity this season, but the lads are back once again to oppose a player with over 200k transfers in at the time of recording. They also look ahead to this week's best captaincy picks.
And history is made when they finish, as ever, with another great round of Who The Heck Is Stat?!

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for the first gameweek of 2024, to preview this elongated GW21.
Plenty of news to get listeners caught up on, including injury updates on some major FPL hitters, the departure of others to Afcon and the Asian Cup, along with a look ahead to potential blank and double gameweeks on the horizon. As ever, the lads go through the permutations and what impact each could have on your team.
A slim but promising radar heads to the south coast for two mid-range picks, while the fringe has a familiar feel but includes a new Brazilian who may have found his shooting boots.
A rare swim against the tide this gameweek sees the lads refuse to get excited about the return to some degree of fitness for an FPL favourite, while captaincy - and the impact of having your captain feature in the second half of GW21 - is one of several points discussed.
They finish, as ever, with another great round of Who The Heck Is Stat?!

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for the final time in 2023, to Preview GW20.
Transfers few and far between with another quick turnaround so the lads opt for another shortened show, covering the essentials. Talking points include the last week to use wildcard plus Haaland news.
Some new and some remaining names on the radar, with one from last week pushing on up. A former FPL must-have comes back into the thinking after much-increased underlying numbers and with Haaland out, who from City could benefit?
No time for a tide of transfers to build so the lads move on to Captaincy - a last stand for Salah ahead of AFCON against a UCL rival? Or are there other better options?

Ho Ho Ho! Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for the final pod before Christmas - GW19, kicking off the day after the big man's been down the chimney.
In a shortened pod, and with injuries, rotation and suspensions afoot, the lads start by quickly getting you up to date on all FPL news.
The radar has a very similar feel to GW19, but a big name drops off, a hat-trick hero gets downgraded, and a new sneaky addition to the fringe might take advantage of some good upcoming fixtures.
No swimming against the tide this week, or a honey trap, so the lads move (and end) on Captaincy, assessing the risk of putting the armband on a City asset without hearing from Guardiola beforehand, especially with some other attractive options.

Ho Ho Ho! Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for the final GW before Christmas - GW18.
It's a blank GW for two teams but first the lads review the circumstances around an inadvertent BGW17, particularly unfortunate from an FPL POV from those who brough in Solanke. The lads also discuss festive rotation and the EFL Cup.
Stop what you're doing - there is a pick on the centre of the radar for the first time in what feels like forever, although he may have a familiar feel... There are also additions to the mid-range and the fringe, including two picks dubbed 'vibes'.
A festive honey trap could allow the lads to glaze their seasonal vegetables if they lure their opponent in, while there's focus on a standout captaincy option. And the little game they like to call Who The Heck is Stat?! ends with some festive drama.

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! The lads return to preview GW17.
Premium player chaos in the news this week with reports of a Haaland injury (or is there??) and the spectre of Son and Salah's departures for most of Jan, mixed in with the impending Wildcard deadline, all leaving managers with big dilemmas. The lads explain and consider the options.
City and Brentford blanking in GW18 heavily impacts fixture runs and so the radar hasn't vastly changed for the past few GWs. That said, the lads consider a move to THE CENTRE for a previously unlikely candidate, who might come into the thinking if no-Haaland is confirmed and a few more possible candidates who've crept their way onto the fringe.
The tides this week hugely influenced by blankers and suspensions so more honey traps are being laid out... will anyone ever get caught in one?!
For once, captaincy is a minefield with many options to consider even if Haaland ends up playing - but particularly so if not. The lads then finish, as ever, with a little game they like to call Who The Heck is Stat?!

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! The lads return to preview this short-turnaround GW16.
Plenty of FPL news, particularly the injury to a high-owned Bryan Mbuemo and the continued benchings of high-owned Matty Cash, with a few other examples of rotation in GW15 too that may have left managers frustrated!
The radar has a similar feel to GW15, with the lads assessing why Solanke or Isak aren't quite hitting the centre, but there is some movement with a budget 'keeper being upgraded from the fringe to the mid-range, and a new exciting addition to the fringe. The lads also highlight and unusually tight defence if you need some defensive reinforcements.
After a bumper swimming against the tide last week, the lads return to trying catch each other in their honey traps, focusing on away wins and a league powerhouse up against a league minnow.
Just two standout captaincy options this week - and maybe only one, given the fixture - before they finish, as ever, with a little game they like to call Who the Heck is Stat?!
