It’s not been the best start for us. But why? Time for a quick examination to see if we’ve just been plain unlucky or if we feel like we’ve got it totally wrong as the early couple of weeks bring nothing but below average scoring to kick off this week’s show.
Then, it’s onto form vs fixtures: are we losing faith too soon in some, while jumping onto others when they could merely be a flash in the pan?
Plus the one week punt update and a discussion on captaincy where this week seems an uncertain, split pin week.

Licking Our Wounds | Gameweek 2
After a rather lackluster opening weekend, we’re glad to be given the chance to talk out our various grievances this week as a lot of sliding doors moments deprive us of a fire start.
In form vs fixture, we look at the three key risers this week – Reijnders, Semenyo and Wood – to ask if the early reactions merit an early purchase, plus look at other options out there given what we’ve seen… knowing it’s just been one week.
Also an update on the one week punt and also best captain for the week ahead, before we spend time analysing potential moves for our own sides.

Here We Land | Gameweek 1
In our final preseason pod, we take in the final friendlies and community shield to see what we've learned - and what outstanding questions we're hoping get answered in the time left.
Then we update on the pod this year - how we're approaching it, and start the One Pick Punt competition as well as making our season long Bold Claims.
Finally - our teams. Obviously there's still time to go, but we'll run through what's changed and why from the extra pod last week and how we're likely to set up ahead of the deadline - and this start of the 25/26 campaign.

Where We Stand | FPL Preseason
An extra pod from us this week as we inch ever closer to the Gameweek 1 deadline.
We focus exclusively on our drafts, discussing how we’ve got to where we are with just over one week to go before the first deadline – making the case for, and debating, our picks and decisions including potential chips played: will a bench boost be wielded?
Back next week for our final preseason show before the campaign kicks off.

Sam & Tom are joined by the brilliant FPL Raptor (Ross) as part of our preseason content to discuss some of the psychological pitfalls us FPL managers face during the season – and how to tackle them.
We work through 5 key areas taking in many biases and heuristics on our journey, which hopefully will assist you in not falling into these traps throughout the 25/26 season – and beyond!
