With news of a possible postponement of Spurs v Villa in GW18, which in turn could affect fixtures in GW19, Sam & Siva attempt to make sense of everything while discussing the best FPL assets for both GW18 and GW19, both from the perspective of managers who will be playing a chip (Free Hit, Wildcard, Triple Captain) and also those who won’t be playing a chip. Man City, Man Utd, Villa, Arsenal, Liverpool all come into focus.

We do a concise stats-driven weekly FPL pod previewing the gameweek.

With the announcement of BGW18 and DGW19, Siva & Sam return to map out transfer plans and chip strategies (free hit, wildcard, triple captain, bench boost) with the blank and double gameweeks in mind, including DGW26 and BGW29. We also talk captaincy picks for the next 3 GWs (GW15, 16 & 17) as well as replacements for Chillwell, Reece James, Lamptey, Ings and more.

Premium Overload! With hauls for KDB, Salah, Son, Kane and a return for Bruno off the bench (and even a Sterling haul) we assess the best premiums and how many of them we can get without compromising the rest of our teams. To that end, we also consider the best budget enablers at the moment, strategies for dealing with the upcoming fixture pile-up as well as answering listener questions and looking at captaincy for GW12.
