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...
-
Our second last episode of the season is here!!
-
The season is drawing to a close, but perhaps the biggest GW of the season is upon us. The chance is upon us to make one last move of genius to catch our nemisises (nemisisi?) with a massive double gameweek.
We try hard to pick a captain, go over the bones of last week, Robbie praises his own "brilliant transfer policy", and we aim to make waves all over the world as we don the tinfoil hats and use historical precedent to "prove" that there must be corruption in football. It will surprise none of you that a dodgy Arsenal penalty kick starts the rant.
Enjoy!!
-
For the first time this year, we recorded in the middle of the GW, as the fat cats in the Premier League fail to take into account the logistics of recording Ireland's most popular FPL podcast when doing up their fixture list.
So we sat down to chat as the Chelsea faced the Spurs, and provide you with some very out of date live updates as we go.
We also question the big non-talking point from last week, discuss the shambles of VAR (again), Robbie praises Arsenal a lot (again), and we try to figure out which players are already on the beach.
Enjoy!!
-
What a GW that was!!
We reflect on the season's biggest scoring week so far and wonder if this was the making or breaking of our seasons.
Robbie's big score sees him lose himself completely, as he praises Arsenal, goes after Jurgen in a big way and somehow criticizes a team that outscored him by 20 points.
We congratulate Notts Forest on calling out corruption, give Harry Maguire and his delicate head his fair due, try to figure out how the hell Andy Faulkner does it, before Paddy decides to go full balls out with his wildcard, and then we round off the pod with one of football's great truths- John Terry is a plank. Enjoy!!
-
We're here to pick the bones of the weekend that might well have finished the title race, and to pick over the bones of one that might just reignite it.
It was little red arrows aplenty for your sheepish hosts, as a disastrous GW infected the pod. But don't worry, our spirits remain unbroken as we attack the last few weeks of the season, and (whisper it) begin to think about next year already...
Enjoy the pod!! - Показать больше
