FPL Banger GW10 Preview - Revenge of the Salah
After selling SALAH and becoming beneficiaries of a generous double digit haul from Bruno Fernandes, Siva & Sam return to debate whether to get Salah straight back in after his quick recovery, and how to fit Salah in with the Spurs, Man City, Man Utd and Leicester assets - we can’t have them all. They also consider budget forwards, defensive options and debate the best captain this week.

FPL Banger GW9 - The Salah Solution
As the international break (finally) comes to an end, Sam & Siva return from a good GW8 to discuss all the big topics: what to do with MO SALAH, holding on to Son/Kane and attacking the fixture swings with Man United, Man City, Villa, Leicester and Everton. They also appreciate the awesomeness of Hakim Ziyech, consider the best defensive options and debate captains.

The lads are back with their bad football views, proposing alternative punishments for Jordan Pickford's horror tackle on Van Dijk, praising Ole after winning 2-1 in Paris and Leon's regularly scheduled defence of Lampard after Chelsea and their £250m attack managed 1 shot on target in a 0-0 draw at United
Ahead of the English El Classico, Arsenal v United, the boys look back at their favourite memories of this historic rivalry and as always, select an XI

EP4. Transfers Round-Up & #GunnersaurusOut
The boys are back to review the end of the 2020 summer transfer window. But before that, we discuss Man United’s humbling 6-1 loss to Spurs and whether it is finally time for #OleOut. We also talk soon to be 20/21 Premier League champions Everton, David Moyes and virtues of working from home, the Premier League teams which had the best and worst transfer windows, before finally selecting our all-time Premier League Transfer Flops XI after much debate. Controversial picks all around.

FPL Banger : GW3 Preview – Wildcard War
GW2 has come and gone and Sam really nailed it, having Harry Kane for all 4 of his assists. He now puts his previously “secret differential” plan to wildcard in GW3 into action – although news has leaked out and now every FPL manager seems to be on a wildcard. Siva, who could not have picked a worse time to transfer out Son Heung Min for Bruno Fernandes, joins Sam on the wildcard. With 2 weeks of data and eye tests, the lads consider the best options at every position and at every price bracket in a jam packed pod.
