    FA Cup Fantasy Takeaways & Our GW21 Preview
    Jan 13 2025
    Join Josh and Brandon as we review the weekend's FA Cup action and unpack relevant FPL takeaways for Tuesday's GW21 deadline. Of course we hit upon the Arsenal vs Man United thriller, Graham Potter's debut as West Ham manager, and the continued march of an in-form Newcastle. Exactly what are we to make of Ruben Amorim's side ahead of a plum Southampton fixture? And are the wheels about to fall off our Arsenal fantasy assets? Plus, we discuss our own GW21 transfer plans and how we rate the tricky captaincy options with Salah about the face a tough defensive challenge. Hail Cheaters!

    Saka Goes Down, Salah Levels Up & Our FPL Boxing Day Preview
    Dec 23 2024
    Join Josh and Brandon as we discuss the GW17 highs and lows, including a sublime Isak hat trick, an ill-timed Saka injury, and a typical Salah masterclass. So what are we doing with Saka? Who are the obvious or not-so-obvious replacements while he sidelined? With the festive period officially here, time is of the essence as Premier League matches and FPL deadlines stack up fast.

  • FPL Adds a New Wrinkle & Our GW17 Preview

    FPL Adds a New Wrinkle & Our GW17 Preview
    Dec 16 2024
    Join Josh and Brandon as we discuss the GW16 highs and lows, including a suboptimal Palmer captaincy, a Lewis Hall haul, and more points from mainstays like Isak and Mbeumo. Plus it was Spurs who put the final nail in Russell Martin's Southampton coffin. Perhaps the weekend was most notable for bringing the Premier League title closer to Chelsea's reach, with the Blues sweeping past Brentford while Liverpool, Arsenal, and Man City (again) all dropped points. But there's a lot of season to play before a trophy is etched, and a hefty chunk of that season is happening in the next 2–3 weeks during the deluge of holiday fixtures. Stay tuned as we look ahead to key transfers and captain picks for GW17, as well, and give our reviews of the newly announced Assistant Manager Chip. Hail Cheaters!

    Dec 9 2024
    A Merseyside postponement generated some sizable GW15 chaos and it's Cole Palmer who emerges with the headlines. How did the Cheaters' FPL teams fair and what's our strategy heading into the festive onslaught? Plus, Champions League returns this week to raise rotation concerns amongst our Arsenal, Man City, Liverpool, and Villa assets. But first things first, Josh and Brandon take a deep dive into the gameweek ahead of us, running through the key fantasy transfer targets and captain options for GW16. Hail Cheaters!

    Midweek Deadline Klaxon & Our GW14 Preview
    Dec 1 2024
    It's a lightning fast turnaround for Tuesday's GW14 deadline. As is customary, set your Bus Team and then join hosts Josh and Brandon as we break down the GW13 highs and lows and apply our learnings to the FPL season's first midweek slate of fixtures. Saka is on fire, Palmer is heating up again, Salah continues to boil, and Bruno is about to have his say. But who gets the armband—and who makes way when we look to mix up the template? Plus, we run through our "concern index" for a handful of other crucial fantasy assets, deciding who to sell, bench, or buy. Hail Cheaters!

  • Battle of the FPL Budget Picks & Our GW13 Preview

    Battle of the FPL Budget Picks & Our GW13 Preview
    Nov 25 2024
    Join hosts Josh and Brandon as we break down the GW12 highs and lows and look ahead to key decisions for the upcoming GW13. While Haaland and Palmer continue their run of blanks, this weekend was a fantasy masterclass by their premium counterparts: Salah and Saka. Has Saka become our biggest priority for the festive run? But GW12 wasn't just about expensive guys; budget picks in Cunha, Nicolas Jackson, and João Pedro all went supernova, giving FPL managers more options to shake things up. Next weekend's clash of Liverpool hosting Man City presents some tricky captaincy and benching decisions—or does it? Arsenal's visit to the London Stadium provides an enticing alternative.

  • FPL Strategy for the GW12–16 Fixture Run & Our GW12 Preview

    FPL Strategy for the GW12–16 Fixture Run & Our GW12 Preview
    Nov 18 2024
    Join Josh and Brandon as we catch up on International Break news including fitness and minutes played for key Fantasy Premier League assets. Who played? Who faked an injury or who had a real one? And what's the outlook for the upcoming GW12? We dig into the fixtures for both this coming weekend and the next five game-weeks for a look at which clubs have the best and worst runs. Arsenal and Chelsea have previously been highlighted as having major swings in difficulty, but how good are their runs really? Maybe it's Bournemouth who are suddenly flying under-the-radar. Plus, there's plenty of Haaland talk and speculation on Saka, Palmer, and the new Manchester United regime. Hail Cheaters!
