    GW29 Recap (Yikes!), FPL Look-Ahead, and Kings of the Gameweek Special

    GW29 Recap (Yikes!), FPL Look-Ahead, and Kings of the Gameweek Special

    On this week's episode, the Cheaters recap the wild non-results of blank GW29 and discuss what went wrong—and what could've gone worse—on the Free Hit chip. With the season's final international break ahead of us, we also take a beat to consider our strategies for the fantasy season's run-in, including the potential of remaining double gameweeks and chips. Then it's time to revisit our beloved feature: Kings of the Gameweek! Looking at top scorers in GW21–29, what lessons can we learn and what patterns can we discern from the teams, players, and positions that appear in the Fantasy Premier League site's often overlooked feature? Hail Cheaters!

    GW29 Preview: Free Hits, Transfer Ideas, and Under-the-Radar Picks

    GW29 Preview: Free Hits, Transfer Ideas, and Under-the-Radar Picks

    Opinion among FPL managers is divided on how to best approach the blank GW29, but the Cheaters are both using their Free Hit chip to navigate what will be a weird and perhaps wild gameweek. In this episode, we look at a potential Free Hit draft and run through the best—and perhaps under the radar—picks from each of the eight featuring clubs. Even if you don't plan to use a chip this deadline, the player and club analysis is still a useful exercise for narrowing down where to find an edge in a tricky moment. Hail Cheaters!

    Bournemouth & Luton Town Hot Take Zone Plus GW28 Questions

    Bournemouth & Luton Town Hot Take Zone Plus GW28 Questions

    Despite our best plans, Ollie Watkins and Phil Foden continue to dictate the Fantasy Premier League terms with the two star players combining for 116 points in their last six gameweeks. But they're not the stars of this episode as the Cheaters look ahead to the double in GW28 featuring Bournemouth and Luton Town—two clubs who rarely clog up the FPL conversation. But if we must, we will, and Josh and Brandon offer their best hot takes on viable options on each team from keepers and defenders to midfielders and forwards. Plus, there's a push to potentially triple captain Dominic Solanke with his two plum home fixtures: Is it a sensible and insane chip strategy? We also preview our own squads and strategies for the double with more green arrows on our minds. Hail Cheaters!

    Making Moves for the FPL Stretch Run Plus Our GW27 Preview

    Making Moves for the FPL Stretch Run Plus Our GW27 Preview

    Hindsight is in full view for FPL managers after this weekend's lopsided fantasy duel between Douglas Luis and Hwang Hee-chan. That was a key midfield transfer as the overall points tally for GW26. In this episode, Josh and Brandon recap where their squads are ahead of the West Ham-Brentford match and then look ahead to their strategies and captain picks for a somewhat forgotten GW27. What role will the Manchester Derby play in the upcoming gameweek? And how worried should we be about Erling Haaland's goal-scoring form when we compare the Norwegian to other tempting captains like Bukayo Saka? We also discuss the fallout from the League Cup final in which Liverpool sustained yet more injuries and Chelsea burned through some much needed energy ahead of a midweek FA Cup clash with Leeds that will play into our fantasy plans for the stretch run.

    Triple Captain Haaland? Plus More Advice & Strategies for Double GW25

    Triple Captain Haaland? Plus More Advice & Strategies for Double GW25

    This weekend’s GW24 fixtures saw returns for many key fantasy assets who set the table for a double gameweek showdown with Liverpool and Manchester City both getting their say in GW25. But with European competitions coming back into the picture, and a blank for some clubs in GW26, some fantasy decisions this deadline aren’t as easy as they look. On this episode, we look at the best transfer targets for the doublers, including Luton Town and Brentford, and what ripple effects we should keep in mind. Along with a lengthy Darwin Nunez vs Ivan Toney chat, there’s also an on-air toggle of the Triple Captain chip. #BlueWireVideo

    Double Gameweek Incoming! FPL Advice for GW24 & Beyond

    Double Gameweek Incoming! FPL Advice for GW24 & Beyond

    While some managers might want to revel in Ollie Watkins points haul for a bit longer, the Cheaters are already on to strategies for GW24 and beyond. Of course this planning involves the enhanced double in GW25 that now includes Liverpool and Luton Town alongside Manchester City and Brentford. In this episode, we rate the top assets to bring in to hopefully maximize the double—a list that includes everyone from Erling Haaland and Kevin de Bruyne to Diogo Jota and Ivan Toney—and also assess the risk of Liverpool's subsequent blank in GW26. Plus we look at GW24 transfer and captaincy options, as well as under-the-radar players (like Wolves attackers) who are becoming hard to ignore. #BlueWireVideo
