Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our GW36 Preview!

The potential for rolling a transfer looms large over this gameweek but there are still plenty of appealing options for your FPL teams.

The radar looks similar to last week's with great fixtures and doubles still on the horizon for the league's oil rich clubs. Some movement though with players going up, some going off and some newly appearing.

The eyes to next week's double are also wide with the anyone else list slightly longer than usual...

That upcoming double also impacting the tide - its very still and clam out there. Nothing to swim against. So the Honey Traps are back out and they make for some useful consequences for FPL.

Captaincy looks to be open to a few options this week with ranks swings certainly possible and big returns expected for more than one key player. The lads discuss these pros and cons before finishing with what could be a crucial game of Who The Heck Is Stat?!

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our GW35 Preview!

A double gameweek for two teams gives a focus to this week's pod, although with many managers on Wildcard, the lads run through a few permutations including how seriously to take this DGW35 and when the best time is to play your bench boost.

The radar has had a facelift, with plenty of new names to discuss, including a mercurial young Englishman and a super Swede on the mid-range, and a whole host of fringe picks to get you wildcard-ready. Andy even says a few positive things about United players.

Honey trap this week suffers from a bit of groupthink, but there's still some takeaways for managers to use, before they run the rule of the big DGW captain shouts and finish, as ever, with a little game they like to call Who The Heck Is Stat?!

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our DGW34 Preview!

Big double gameweek for seven teams (and a blank for one) means divergent strategies - including in the Lounge! - so the lads run through some thoughts about how to tackle the DGW34 depending on what chips you've left. There's also a focus on European rotation.

The radar has a familiar feel to last week, but with some upgrades for *some* Crystal Palace assets, and the inclusion on the radar for the most expensive defender in the game. Speaking of, they run the rule over Liverpool assets, with a certain attacker notable by his absence... although long-time listeners won't be surprised.

Hold your horses AGAIN and don your swimming trunks AGAIN - there's ANOTHER tide to swim against! This player is no favourite of the Lounge, but even so, the most transferred player in not doubling this week? Not for this podcast.

Captaincy seems a toss up between two assets, neither of whom look great on the eye at the moment. They end, as ever, with a little game they like to call Who The Heck Is Stat?!

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our GW33 Preview!

The key FPL news kicks us off and it focuses on this GW being in a European sandwich.

Like last week, the radar is influenced by the chips you may or may not have left, and by a large DGW looming next week. A couple of new additions make their way on including a previously much maligned FPL asset with some very interesting recent stats. Some interesting returns from injury for big players has also caught the lads' eyes.

Hold your horses and don your swimming trunks - there's actually a tide to swim against! And its a potentially risky one, but the lads explain why they think transferring in one of the league's best players could be an error.

Captaincy seems close this week, with the usual suspects seeming like the best shouts - but which one?! They end, as ever, with a little game they like to call Who The Heck Is Stat?!

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our GW32 Preview!

A shorter pod than usual this week due to work commitments, but a GW32 preview is here all the same, with all the key info you'll need before the deadline.

The lads start with some rotation news from GW31, with several FPL big-hitters either rested to nursing minor injuries.

The GW32 radar includes some new additions, including a budget flying defender, and an upgrade from last week's fringe for a Liverpool midfielder. There are also two players, perhaps a bit reactionary, that will fit nicely into teams FHing in DGW34. The fringe itself has a similar feel to last GW.

The lads save some time by moving straight to captaincy, where it feels a pretty evenly matched field, with Salah, Haaland and Cole Palmer all very spicy options to be considering for the armband this GW.

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our GW31 Preview!

Like buses, you wait aged for one pod and then two come along in quick succession! It's a short turnaround to GW31 but there's plenty of FPL news - most of it injury related - and with little time for press conferences before the deadline, some managers may feel underprepared.

The lads add some fresh blood to the radar though, with another addition to the centre, a rare foray into a double-up defence in the mid-range, and some Liverpool assets on the fringe.

Little to swim against again this week so the lads try to catch each other in their honey traps following a successful trap last week, before a captaincy discussion that is once again, not focused on the machine that is Erling Haaland.

They end, as ever, with a little game they like to call Who The Heck Is Stat?!

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our GW30 Preview!

It's been a while, due to various illness and work commitments, but the lads are back, and they start by looking ahead to the DGW announcements and think about upcoming chip strategies. they also have a look at injury news after the international break, and also discuss FPL's new Fantasy Challenge game.

The radar is brand new, and as strategy-agnostic as they can make it, with TWO players on the centre of the radar - although they'll need no introduction to FPL players. There are budget teammates on the mid-range, and a cheeky cheap goalkeeper to target on the fringe.

Little to swim against this week so the lads try to catch each other in their honey traps, before a captaincy discussion that assesses the merits of four players, three with an appealing home fixture, and the other one is Haaland.

They end, as ever, with captaincy and a little game they like to call Who The Heck Is Stat?!

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our BGW26 Preview!

It's a blank gameweek for 4 teams, with some popular assets missing, so the lads run through those BGW fixtures teams and give an update on the FPL calendar over the next few GWs, with some doubles and a large blank on the horizon.

The radar has the blanks and doubles in mind, with a Bournemouth player on the mid-range despite a tough fixture this week, while the fringe contains a first mention for a Manchester United player, and some budget midfielders that could be useful through the next few GWs.

Little to swim against again this week so the lads try to catch each other in their honey traps, before a captaincy discussion that has an all-too familiar feel.
