FPL BlackBox

Az and Luke turn time back a few years and reunite for a FPL TopGuns reunion! The two "maverick" FPL managers started a podcast a few seasons ago, before life got in the way and they had to cease recording. Things are different now. There's more tech, more stats... but this episode will roll back the years as the two combine for a slightly more informal look at the season so far and plans heading in to the festive period.

With Mark MIA, The FPL General steps in to co-host FPL BlackBox with Az. Both managers are riding high this season, and will be talking about all the usual stuff (Great and the Good, stats etc.) as well as giving their assessments on Spurs assets under Conte, ahead of a busy festive schedule.

The worm has very much turned on FPL BlackBox, with Az stretching his lead over Mark to epic proportions and threatening to claim top spot in the Great and the Good league. But Mark is sure to relish the challenge and go all out to reel his co-host rival. Elsewhere in this week's episode, the pair discuss Antonio Conte's arrival at Spurs and the lure of the FPL back four setup ahead of Gameweek 11.  Learn more about your ad choices.

It's a milestone episode of FPL Blackbox for several reasons.  Obviously the 50 is up, but also because, finally, Az has managed to topple Mark in the rankings and starts an episode in front for the first time. Mark's answer to this event? The Wildcard is active.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Az and Mark return for another episode of FPL BlackBox ahead of Gameweek 9, to find themselves troubled by their heavy-hitter strikers.   Not so long ago, all the talk was about going "Threemium" and getting on board with both Ronaldo and Lukaku, now, weeks later we have growing doubts about both. The boys assess that shift in confidence ahead of a classic form vs fixtures scenario, as Salah maintains his incredible run of form ahead of his clash with Man United. Which way will Az and Mark fall? It's a subject for much debate.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The FPL BlackBox boys return from the international break for a very special episode. Az not only has his Wildcard active, but he and Mark are joined by none other than Lets Talk FPL's Andy. The three former ScoutCasters are back together to do scrub Az's team refresh and chat all the major issues ahead of Gameweek 8 for those with and without their Wildcard in play.

Az is back following his house move and joins up with Mark to tackle the ever shifting Fantasy landscape ahead of Gameweek 7. Arsenal's emergence as a potential force gets some attention, while a rash of defensive casualties undermine last week's cry to go "big at the back". The BlackBox duo respond to both with a full stock check of each position and a glimpse of their would-be Wildcard squads should they press that button. Learn more about your ad choices.

While the Cat's away moving to Hitchin, the mice will play. In this case the mice in question are Mark and guest co-host Luke as they take assume control while Az undergoes his house move. There's much to discuss, not least the new movement towards big investment in defence that's rapidly gaining momentum of the starts made by Chelsea, Man City and Liverpool. Elsewhere, Mark and Luke look back on Gameweek 5, but turn much of their attention to what the forthcoming weekend has in store and and discuss whether to hold on Diogo Jota and Ferran Torres, or move to three up front and embrace the charms of Allan Saint-Maximin.

Ronaldo has scored twice on his debut, will Mark have egg on his face or will he take solace in the fact that Lukaku has matched him? Also, this is an amazing week for Az… tune in to find out why! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The international break is nearly over (thank the Maker) and after the record-breaking episode last time out, the FPL BlackBox boys have got a lot to live up to. To be honest, those boots might be a bit too big to fill, but they'll do their best, and Mark has some extra stats on Man U with Cavani (at Az's request). And as always, the boys preview the Gameweek to come with lots of chat on the captaincy despite Ronaldo's arrival.     Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
