The FPL Banger Podcast

After a freak GW where wildcarders were punished, we talk how to move forward, Son, Werner & Martial replacements at every price bracket, Liverpool defenders vs budget options plus captaincy contenders.

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.

We wish to apologise for Sam's comments in EP. 2 where he compared José Mourinho's "backwards" style of football to the movie Tenet. Following Spurs' 5-2 win over Southampton, it is only appropriate that Sam takes a temporary break from the pod while we investigate his comments.  Siva takes over as we discuss United's 3-1 defeat to Palace where a penalty save was cancelled for De Gea jumping off his line too early, and help out by suggesting rule changes to improve football.  Also, Leon gives his support to Lampard after Chelsea's 2-0 loss to Liverpool while openly flirting with Ancelotti and inspired by the signing of the season, (Branislav Ivanovic) the lads pick their 2010s Premier League Best XI with some surprising choices.

Fresh from the carnage that was GW1, Sam & Siva assess the damage (hint: 1 of them did not have Mo) and debate the big FPL issues before GW2: Keep Salah or swap to United assets, jumping on Everton and dumping Spurs assets, Essential Enablers from Leicester and Wolves, Budget Forwards, Recommended Transfers and Captaincy options  Follow us on Twitter @FPL_Banger where we also make “deep dive” FPL Threads reviewing the previous Gameweek and previewing the upcoming Gameweek

The Banger Committee is back to give their bad football opinions on the opening weekend of Premier League action. We also begin the countdown to Mourinho's inevitable sacking, and inspired by the mass brawl between PSG and Marseille, we pick our Ultimate Fighting XI, with a surprising choice for manager.

The FPL spin-off to The Banger Committee Podcast.  This episode, Siva and Sam bring you their comprehensive preview of the FPL 20/21 Season, with their thoughts on the best GKs, Defs Mids and Fwds. Plus what to do with United and City assets during their blank GW1 as well as captaincy picks for GW1.  Follow us on Twitter @FPL_Banger (formerly @FPLDoctor)

The Banger Committee look back at the 19/20 Premier League season, put together our 19/20 Team of the Year, and look forward with our predictions for 20/21. We also debate and answer the age old question of which manager is the least worst out of Ole, Arteta and Lampard. Highlights include Chris predicting Sheffield United's impending relegation, Leon selecting Mateo Kovačić for his team of the year ahead of Bruno Fernandes, and Siva picking George Baldock over Trent?! Bad football opinions all around
