Big at the Back: A Fantasy Football Podcast (FPL)

With three games left of DGW37, all eyes now turn to the end of the Premier League season on Sunday afternoon. We look at the key fixtures and assets as the Premier League title will be decided, the race for Europe is still on, and Nottingham Forest needing to avoid losing with a 12 goal swing to Luton...stranger things have happened!

With just two weeks left until the end of the season, we have a double gameweek to navigate in GW37, with the last chance for some very big scores. We are back to discuss the teams that double in GW37, and the best assets from each of them, as well as those that have a good single fixture this week.

As the sun sets on GW33 with the Chelsea v Everton match on Monday night, it's time for us to turn our attention to DGW34, possibly the biggest gameweek of the season. With Arsenal, Bournemouth, Palace, Everton, Liverpool, Sheff U and Wolves all having doubles, we discuss the best picks in each position.

Premier League football returned with a fest of goals in GW30. A gameweek that started with the thrills of a 4-3 win for Newcastle over West Ham, but petered out with a 0-0 draw between title challengers Man City and Arsenal. We look back at the main FPL talking points from the weekend as Cole Palmer returned another double digit haul, Salah found the back of the net again, and Arsenal once again proving that their defence is the best in the league. With a tight turnaround before GW31 getting underway on Tuesday evening, we re-evaluate our teams and chip strategy as we head towards the final run-in, before finishing off with a bit of talk about how we each performed in the first week of Fantasy Challenge!

As we approach the end of the final international break of the season, it's time to reflect on the absolute horror show that was blank gameweek 29, quite possibly the worst gameweek in FPL history. We then turn our attention to the remainder of the season as we now have a clear picture of the double gameweeks approaching in the last few weeks of the season. We discuss teams to target, chip strategy, and captaincy options. Finally, we take a quick look at the new FPL Challenge mode which launched this week, and give our thoughts!

With just two games left in DGW28, we are back to discuss the weekend's action, and where else can we start but with Dominic Solanke's slip, as he picked up zero points in his first game as the most captained player of the week. We also discuss the Liverpool v Man City game, and what it means for the title race, Arsenal scraping past Brentford as they were lucky to finish with 11 men on the pitch, and Spurs putting four past Aston Villa in the battle for fourth place. We finish off the week by selecting our joint Free Hit team for BGW29, with just four fixtures to choose from.

After a two week hiatus, Tom and Matt are back to look back on the events of an eventful GW27, which included big points for Watkins, Foden, and Areola (who most people left on their bench). We also have a heated debate around Liverpool's last minute winner. We then look ahead to DGW28, with Bournemouth being the highly fancied team as they face Sheffield United and Luton both at home. With Liverpool playing City, the title race could have a very differnt view to it by the end of next weekend.

GW24 has come and gone, with both Matt and Tom picking up good returns for the week. Arsenal hammered the Hammers, Haaland was at the double, and Luton's good run of form was cut down by the Blades. With DGW25 coming this weekend, we look at the key players to bring in from City and Liverpool, and also discuss potential chip strategy over the next few weeks.

GW23 is in the books, and it was the highest scoring week in the 20 team PL era, including a hat-trick for Phil Foden, an Ollie Watkins haul against Sheffield United, and our first GK assist of the season. With all of that in mind, it's time for us to look ahead as we navigate the upcoming GW24, DGW25, and Blank GW26. With lots to take in to account, we discuss the must haves for the next few weeks, as well as potential chip strategy as we head in to the back third of the season!

With the extended GW21 and FA Cup behind us, it's time to return to our regularly scheduled programming! With gameweeks coming thick and fast, we look ahead to GW22 and beyond as we look at how to navigate the upcoming double and blank gameweeks.

We are back after the hectic festive football fixtures, with plenty to discuss.After a catch up of our performance over the last two gameweeks, we dive in to the upcoming fixtures and what teams and players are keeping an eye on. With AFCON and the Asian Cup to navigate, plenty of injury worries, and some interesting fixtures, it could be a make or break point of the FPL season!

After a brief break, Tom and Matt are back as we head full steam towards Christmas and the Festive feast of football! With three gameweeks coming in quick succession, there is plenty to discuss! We look at the teams with the best upcoming fixtures, standout performances over the last couple of weeks, and also turn an eye to AFCON and the Asian Cup coming up in January.

As November rolls in to December, the festive fixture list is getting well under way. Spurs got a great point in a frenzied 3-3 draw at the Etihad, Liverpool completed a late turnaround to get a 4-3 win over Fulham, and Arsenal extended their lead at the top of the table despite conceding a late goal at home to Wolves. A quick turnaround before GW15 starts on Tuesday night, so we look at the midweek fixtures, who we are planning on bringing in, and the run of fixtures leading up to Christmas.

With international football in the rear view mirror for 2023, it's time for the festive football feast to begin! We review GW13 as Man United keep up their winning form and keep a clean sheet, Arsenal scrape by Brentford, and Liverpool earn a good point away at Man City.

After the tragedy that was GW11, we are both back in a much better mood after great performances in GW12. As we are approaching a third of the way through the season, we take the time to reset and evaluate the best assets from each team during the final international break of 2023 (thank god!)

Matt and Tom are back after a week off, and what a week to come back to! We disect the week that was potentially the worst ever from an FPL perspective, but also one of the funniest! Blanks for all of the big boys, red cards and VAR controversies galore, there is plenty to discuss!

After a high scoring week that saw us both jump up the rankings, Tom and Matt are back to discuss the key performers of GW9. We then look ahead to the big fixture swings that take place from GW10 onwards, with Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, West Ham and Arsenal in particular looking like the teams to load up on.

With another international break (almost) behind us, we are back and hitting the Wildcard button on our joint team. Join us as we build our Wildcard squad live on the podcast and look ahead to the return of Premier League action this weekend!

As we head in to yet another international break, Tom and Matt look back at their Wildcard performances in GW8, as we dive in to some of the fixtures from the past weekend. We talk about Arsenal's win over City, Spurs maintaining their unbeaten start, and draws for West Ham and Liverpool.

After a week off due to incompetence and technical difficulties, Tom and Matt are back after an eventful weekend of Premier League football. To save Tom from exploding in a ball of fiery rage, we instead focus on our Wildcard squads as we have both activated our Wildcards as we head in to the final weekend before the international break.
