Always Cheating Fpl Podcast

After this weekend's round of FA Cup matches, we now have a pretty full picture of the blanks that await us in GW31, and it's not pretty. Sure, the planning for those blanks starts now, but in this episode Josh and Brandon first offer up a substantial preview for GW28 fixtures, clean sheets, and captaincy picks. Second, we feature a mega lightning round of listener questions to kick our FPL strategy gears into motion ahead of the blanks. Hail Cheaters!

Goals, goals, goals, and more goals. GW27 was epic for Agüero owners, and it also brought with it substantial tallies for highly-owned players like Salah, Firmino, and Hazard. So what are the action items for FPL managers after a week like this when we are so close to the home stretch? Is Hazard still a troll? Is Agüero becoming a risk with the imminent return of Gabriel Jesus? Will we ever not put the armband on Salah? Josh and Brandon also discuss the disappearance of Manchester United attacking assets and the current state of cheap forwards and defenders. We'll be back next week, after the FA Cup fixtures, to preview GW28 transfers, captains, and clean sheets. Hail Cheaters!

A fairly disappointing GW26 will be remembered for captaincy fails, disappearing defenders, and a few crazy moments at Anfield. And based on his performance on Sunday, there's seriously no debating that Salah is this season's FPL Points King. (However, Brandon decides to debate that point anyway.) In their GW27 preview, Josh and Brandon discuss Arsenal's alluring new look, go in search of reliable defensive alternatives, and dive deeper into chip strategy as the GW31 blanks approach.

As GW25 comes to a close, so does the January transfer window. Josh and Brandon run down a fairly complete list of player moves (Aubameyang to Moura, Laporte to Kenedy, Walcott to Alexis, and...sure, we'll mention Sturridge) and how new setups might impact our FPL squads. We take a moment to review Josh's recent wildcard restructure, and then it's a match-by-match preview of GW26 along with our own captaincy picks and transfer targets. Hail Cheaters!

Live by Agüero. Die by Agüero. GW24 was a good week for those restoring faith in the City striker, along with those who kept faith in a particular Chelsea midfielder. So where does that leave us heading into the next round? Always Cheating hosts Josh and Brandon are joined by special guest Mike DePietro (winner of our Patreon Supporters Survivor League) to discuss Alexis Sanchez, whose move to Old Trafford could rip up the existing FPL template, as well as Henrikh Mkhitaryan's jump to North London. We're also lining up midfield replacements for an injured Arnautovic and a mercurial Lingard, hashing out Free Hit and Wildcard strategies, and walking through the GW25 fixtures. Hail Cheaters!

If you somehow feel like you missed out on points during the recent double game week, then we sure hope you held onto Arnautovic and Son for big hauls in GW23. The Always Cheating hosts recap the scores and highlights from this past weekend. Then it's a massive team-by-team status report, from Arsenal through to West Ham, as we search the league for new under-the-radar player picks.

Always Cheating is back after a brief winter break to discuss the January transfer dealings and how they'll impact our FPL lineups. Will Coutinho's departure upset the attacking balance at Liverpool? Is the arrival of Virgil van Dijk finally going to make that defense an appealing option? And should we assume DCL is the odd man out with new Everton striker Cenk Tosun? We also talk about the currently hypothetical moves for Alexis Sanchez and Riyad Mahrez, then tackle a bunch of your listener questions, and preview captains and transfer targets for GW23.

Josh and Brandon emerge from their holiday hangovers to recap the key stories and players from GW19 and GW20. But, during this hectic festive period, there's little time for reflection, and this episode quickly turns to strategizing for the big GW22 double with Spurs and West Ham. How many players do we want? Or do we need? And do the free hit and triple captain chips enter into our thinking? Plus, we look more immediately to GW21 and answer listener questions on Coutinho, Lingard, Hazard, and Van Dijk. Hail Cheaters!

Premium strikers, almost uniformly, aren't performing. All the more reason for us to discuss them on this episode of Always Cheating. Do we have the patience to hold onto Kane until his double in GW22? Is Lukaku making a strong enough case to return to our squads? How blood-thirsty is Morata? It's also time for a regular Hazard heat check, a comparison of Zaha and Richarlison, and assessing an Arsenal defense dilemma.

While the big players at Chelsea struggled in GW16, Harry Kane finally delivered on a captaincy for many FPL managers. Always Cheating hosts Josh and Brandon review those and other key takeaways from the weekend as we quickly head into GW17. From defense to strikers, the burning questions in this episode revolve, for the most part, around budget players who we can use to plug holes: Quick-fix, nailed-on cheap defender? Replacing an injured Ramsey with Shaqiri? Choosing between Austin, Mounie, and Calvert-Lewin? There's a lot to consider with these midweek fixtures and then GW18 immediately following at the weekend.

In GW15, it was certainly "No Hazard, No Party." So it's now looking more like a matter of when and not if we get Chelsea's Belgian midfielder into our FPL lineups. Will Harry Kane make way for the necessary transfer funds? Probably not, but Josh and Brandon are judging whether other expensive players like Jesus, Agüero, Morata, Sané, and de Gea are worth their price tags. Stay tuned for listener questions on emerging transfer targets like Aaron Ramsey, as well as our fixture previews for GW16. Plus, we have a very special announcement for our Patreon supporters.

As weirdly fun and excruciating as GW13 was for many FPL managers, we have precious little time to dwell upon it - not with two more game weeks mere hours away. Always Cheating hosts, Josh and Brandon, are already sizing up almost every conceivable transfer option ahead of the GW14 midweek and GW15 weekend fixtures. How essential do Chelsea assets like Hazard and Morata look now? Is it time to part ways with big strikers like Lukaku and Jesus? And is Charlie Austin the budget forward that we've all been waiting for? Plus we answer your listener questions and outline our captain picks for the next two game weeks. Hail Cheaters!

The Premier League returned from its most recent international break with a massive GW12 filled with goals, clean sheets, and a single dark cloud in the shape of Harry Kane. In this episode, we're looking at the Spurs lineup in the aftermath of their loss to Arsenal, compounded by a frustrating run of FPL results for their star striker. We also discuss the awaited and long-awaited returns of Pogba and Ibra, Chelsea's scintillating team display at the Hawthorns, and, when it comes to mid-priced stars like Richarlison and Groß, what "essential" might really mean for FPL managers. Plus, we answer your listener questions before detailing GW13 transfer targets and captain picks. Hail Cheaters!

Why does it feel like this international break is going on forever? To help pass the time, we're looking ahead to the GW12 fixtures and reviewing captains and clean sheet options match by match. Is Salah a better bet against Southampton than a flat-track bully Lukaku at home to Newcastle? And might we overlook Kane who regularly delivers in the North London derby? We also take some listener questions on wildcarding, preferred formations, and must-have defenders. Hail Cheaters!

From Glenn Murray to Aaron Ramsey, we're devoting some time this week to recent FPL lucky streaks. Doucouré? Mahrez? Diouf? Who's just a flash in the pan? And who's a viable longterm asset for your squad? We're also talking about David De Gea and breaking typical FPL goalkeeper conventions, the theories behind banking two free transfers, and a ton of quick-fire questions from our listeners. Of course, there is obligatory Manchester City and Harry Kane chat, as well as our GW11 preview. Hail Cheaters!

Manchester City giveth, and then they taketh away. This week we discuss Pep Guardiola's painful yet entirely predictable player rotation. And we're obliged to talk about Harry Kane's big #GW9 Wembley performance, right? Or the lack of any performance whatsoever from Manchester United? Then, for something completely different, we review top performing budget picks (£7.5M and under for midfielders and forwards, £5.0M and under for defenders) through the first quarter of the season and who among those picks is best suited for a late October wildcard. Stick around for our preview of #GW10 fixtures, including picks for captains and clean sheets. Hail Cheaters!

Undoubtedly, the biggest takeaway from #GW8 is that Manchester City is irresistible. Josh and Brandon examine the Sky Blues, from strikers to midfielders to defenders, and how best to approach their #FPL assets. We're also reassessing the recent fad of the "Power 3" up front and whether it still holds much interest amid the chaos of injuries and blanks with Lukaku, Kane, Agüero, and Morata, among others. Stay tuned for heat checks on Zaha, Gabbiadini, and Abraham, as well as a preview of #GW9 fixtures. Hail Cheaters!

Emerging from another international break hibernation, Josh and Brandon are ready to get back to the business of #FPL. With injuries to both Agüero and Morata, there are lingering questions on how to best structure a robust front three lineup. There is also the matter the growing Raheem Sterling bandwagon and we compare his potential against the other Manchester City mids: Sané and David Silva. Later, we run team by team through the league table and give a status report on how each club has or hasn't impressed through these first seven weeks of the FPL season.
