Always Cheating Fpl Podcast

It's FPL midfield madness heading into the international break. With Liverpool's entire attacking arsenal wreaking havoc, and now Eden Hazard is back to his absolute best, how do we focus our energies so soon after GW11? Josh and Brandon weigh the options and also take listener questions on lower-priced mids, defensive injuries, and the fate of Troy Deeney. We'll be back next week with a full preview of GW12.

It was a glorious Premier League weekend filled with many goals, assists, and clean sheets. So why are the Always Cheating hosts totally bummed out? Really, what is the exact level of success that can ultimately satisfy an FPL manager? Speaking of success, Josh and Brandon examine all of the in-form assets at Chelsea and Liverpool. Then it's a preview of GW11 while weighing possible Champions League rotation risks, along with your listener questions, and more. Hail Cheaters. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Always Cheating hosts recap an oddball GW9 and discuss the growing anxiety over FPL mainstay Sergio Aguero. Josh and Brandon then run through a special section of the podcast examining this season's bonus points system (from successful clearances and crosses to pass completion) and which players are benefiting the most thus far. We also talk about doubling, even tripling up in your midfield, along with clean sheets and captains ahead of GW10. Hail Cheaters! Learn more about your ad choices.

Unlike all of those missed penalties in GW8, you simply can't afford to miss this episode of Always Cheating. Josh rejoins the podcast after his brief paternity leave and he and Brandon discuss whether to buy, sell, or hold onto such divisive fantasy assets as Capoue, Allen, Ibrahimovic, Costa, Antonio, and Alli. We also pull up the stats on cheap "third striker" options, including the in-form Charlie Austin and more mercurial players like Troy Deeney and Marcus Rashford. Stay tuned for some listener questions, a preview of the #GW9 fixture list, and much more. Hail Cheaters. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In this episode of Always Cheating, Brandon and special guest co-host Ben Mattison help catch you up on what's happened (so far) during the international break. Who scored? Who played the full ninety? Who has a minor calf complaint? And how does this all impact us heading into #GW8? We also mine the stats behind each Spurs and Arsenal defender, pull the data for top-tier striker options, and even give brief consideration to Joe Allen and Stoke City's intriguing run of fixtures ahead.

The Battle of the Captains promised by #GW7 ended up a complete bust with both Aguero and Ibrahimovic blanking. Instead, it's a high-flying Spurs team that gets this week's ticker tape. Brandon and special guest co-host Stephen Schaller break down the essentials of Tottenham's must-have players, from defense to attack. And, speaking of defense, this episode continues what feels like an unending exploration into the Great Clean Sheet Shortage of 2016 (including West Brom's avant garde insistence that games should be played for only 80 minutes). Plus we discuss key investment strategies heading into the international break, assess value for out-of-form luxury players like Zlatan, and respond to your listener questions. Hail Cheaters!

Injuries, disappointments, and disappearing clean sheets. #GW6 presented some challenges for our #FPL squads, but Always Cheating hosts Josh and Brandon are determined to find the fun within this season's fiascos. First off, we look at the underlying Opta stats for the Liverpool and Arsenal midfielders (both teams with a run of enticing fixtures) and pick the best of the bunch. Then it's a discussion of how best to spend in your defense, choosing between budget and premium options. And finally we try to put sell-by dates on some of this week's flops: Zlatan to Hazard, Lamela to Payet. Plus a #GW7 preview and your listener questions. Hail Cheaters!

Josh's wildcard is active as we hurtle toward #GW6 and the imminent return of Sergio Aguero. Brandon, distinctly not on his wildcard, is left to parse the approximately one billion different ways he might be able to bring Brocktoon back into his squad. And, in light of everything we've learned from #GW5 performances, the Always Cheating hosts analyze Zlatan's questionable form, Lukaku's momentum, and alternate frontline options. We also debate the optimum FPL team spine, if there even is one, to build a wildcard around and respond to your questions about De Bruyne, Deeney, and the continuing saga of Etienne Capoue.

In recapping the Fantasy Premier League's #GW4, an epic Manchester Derby hardly bears mentioning after the exploits of Diego Costa, Romelu Lukaku, and, yup, you guessed it: Etienne Capoue. Hosts Brandon and Josh do touch upon the two Manchester sides, but the episode largely revolves around our biases toward low-to-mid-priced midfielders, including the likes of Leroy Fer and Robert Snodgrass, and whether you should give in to the hype. We also address the mysterious lack of clean sheets this season and answer listener questions ahead of this weekend's #GW5. Hail Cheaters! Learn more about your ad choices.

The transfer window has closed, the season's first international break is drawing to an end, and countless wildcards are suddenly active: now is the perfect time to assess late-addition key signings and loans that could help your #FPL team heading into #GW4. From Wilshere to Chadli, Bony to Perez, Mustafi to Luiz, Zaza to Slimani, and even the Great Mbokani himself! Always Cheating hosts Josh and Brandon also review the luxury options in Arsenal's midfield and how to strategize for life without (and for the imminent return of) Sergio Aguero. Hail Cheaters!

A relatively average GW3 has not filled us with a great deal of confidence heading into the international break. But would Josh or Brandon consider triggering a wildcard this early in the season? In this episode of Always Cheating, we weigh the options, with a particular focus on established and emerging midfielders: from Hazard to Alexis, Antonio to Drinkwater, how do they all rank? We also take a moment to zero in on Manchester City's evolving squad and which of those players will fit into our FPL lineups in the coming weeks. All of that plus your listener questions.

Always Cheating co-hosts Josh and Brandon reunite (after Brandon's brief stint abroad) to recap the happenings in GW2 of the #FPL. Looking ahead, this episode's key topics focus on Everton's promising fixtures, midfielder must-haves versus differentials, and the best options for your cheap third striker—which, of course, means that we are advocating strongly for the Aguero and Ibrahimovic combo. We also field your listener questions and highlight some of the crucial fixtures for success in GW3. Hail Cheaters! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
