Always Cheating: A Fantasy Premier League Podcast (FPL)

With the festive fixtures nearly behind us, we're taking a moment to review the last few FPL gameweeks and consider what lessons, if any, were learned. We discuss the Chelsea bubble bursting, the mere existence of a Spurs bubble, and the potential of new Arsenal and Everton managers generating anything even close to resembling a bubble with players worth punting on. Plus, Mané versus Salah remains an contentious debate, and what's with the glut of viable and in-form strikers? Stick around for our GW21 preview highlighting captaincy favorites and transfer targets. Happy New Year and Hail Cheaters!

Josh returns to the pod this week, just in time for this FPL season's first international break. We review the action from GW4 and then it's panic stations for Brandon as he's triggered his wildcard. We set the table for some serious tinkering over the break, running through our favorite options and potential must-haves for goalkeeper, defense, midfield, and forward. Stick around for a special interview with Thomas Braun, the co-founder of the Starting 11 Daily Fantasy app, at the tail end of the episode. We'll be back next week for a full preview of GW5 fixtures and captaincy options. Hail Cheaters!

As we look to put the excruciatingly average GW9 behind us, it's time for another edition of the FPL world's favorite game: "Buy! Sell! Hold!" Among the biggest players under our microscope this week are the defensive holy trinity of Robertson, Alonso, and Mendy. We consider Klopp's recent rotation and if there's a cheaper way into Liverpool's back line. It's probably time to sell Kane, if you still have him, but are Agüero's managed minutes a reason to also look at dropping the Argentinian striker? Plus, Josh does a pretty good British accent and Brandon throws quite a bit of shade at Fulham before we get into our GW10 preview and captaincy discussion. Hail Cheaters!

As we enter the Premier League's first international break of the season, the Cheaters review gameweeks 1–8 through the lens of each week's dream team. That's right—it's once again time for the Kings of the Gameweek. What lessons can we learn and what patterns can we discern from the teams, players, and positions that appear in the FPL site's often overlooked feature? We also discuss our scores from GW8, Josh's wildcard satisfaction levels, and the increasingly heated managerial sack race. Hail Cheaters!

With no new Premier League action or fantasy happenings, Josh and Brandon set their sights on the past and list their favorite FPL assets from recent history. And as we run through the best goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders, and forwards, we find that "favorite" doesn't always mean what you think it means. Along the way, we reminisce about our own greatest moments playing the FPL game since we began back in 2011. Hail Cheaters!
