SummaryEnd Of Premium Picks? | 25-26 Season Review
May 2701:35:51Tap to summarizeIt’s the final WGTA of 2025/26 before we break for summer. Tom & Sam are in to review their Gameweek 38s and their own seasons – what went well what didn’t? – before launching into an analysis of the 2025/26 season in classic WGTA style. Looking at the data, we evaluate points scoring in #FantasyPremierLeague this year and how underperforming premiums – who may be a fading force in FPL – and DefCon have combined to produce what may be a new era for #FantasyFootball, enabling us to make some predictions for next year. We also cover off our one week punts and season long bold claims for the year, before handing out our annual end of year awards to bring the curtain down on another season of WGTA. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT. BACK IN JULY (OR WHEN THE GAME RELAUNCHES FOR 26/27). If you enjoyed this, consider subscribing to the feed and leaving a 5* Review, it helps us out so much.

Transcribe →Final Day Frolics | #FPL GW38
May 1901:24:20Tap to summarizeAhead of the final day, Sam and Tom are in to look over the fixture list, do the usual last day ritual walk down memory lane, and pick out some players who might be on the menu as last gasp punts for those chasing. Plus the finale of the one week punt and the last captaincy discussion of the season before we unveil our probable final sides. We'll be back one more time this season next week to wrap things up, but if this was your last pod with us THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE SUPPORT 💜 If you loved the show this year, please give us a 5* review and subscribe to the feed ahead of next year when we will be back ☺️ Learn more about your ad choices.

Transcribe →Penultimate Push | #FPL GW37
May 1301:29:18Tap to summarizeSam's joined by Tom back from paternity leave to preview the last-but-one #fantasypremierleague gameweek as we try to spot players who'll give managers that final push 🫸🏻 Which Arsenal picks are the best? Which other games might we target players in? And how might that differ depending on your FT situation? Plus our regulars: #fantasyfootball captaincy - quite a tough one this week - and one week punt picks. Loved the show this year? Please consider subscribing to our pod and giving us a 5* review!

Transcribe →Eagles Landing? | #FPL DGW36 (with Mo (FPL Trophy))
May 501:38:50Tap to summarizeSam is joined by Mo in Tom's absence this week, as we delve into the final Double Gameweek of the #FPL season. But the key question is, is it anything to actually get excited about? We preview DGW36, which (if any) Palace players are worth the punt for #fantasypremierleague managers, or are there some more appealing options outside of those with the Double. With chips left on the table, are we worried about the impact they'll have on our #fantasyfootball ranks this week? Also the usual good stuff too, including One week punts, captaincy & our transfer plans for the week ahead.

Transcribe →Premium (Under?) Performance | #FPL GW35
Apr 2701:29:39Tap to summarizeSam & Tom continue the meta discussions on a week where many WC32ers (we'll get to WC35, don't worry!) are set for gameweek, this time focusing on how #fantasypremierleague premium assets have perhaps failed to perform this year and if it's a one off or a start of a wider trend. Then it's into previewing the weekend of #fantasyfootball, with WC35 picks and transfer targets analysed to understand what key points of difference may be for those on the alternative pathway. Our regulars round off the show, including if Haaland versus a sometimes stubborn could be overlooked for the armband in favour of Bruno for the big clash with Liverpool at Old Trafford. Sam will be back next week. Almost definitely not Tom!

Transcribe →Bye Bye BB? ~ FH Time! | BGW34
Apr 2201:42:01Tap to summarizeAs a - rather successful, thanks to Brighton defence! - #FPL bench boost week comes to its conclusion, Sam & Tom are in to paradoxically figure out if it's time for #fantasypremierleague to sunset the chip in favour of a shakeup. Press conferences also don't escape our scrutiny, as the lack of information regarding Joao Pedro sticks in the craw for many #fantasyfootball managers. Then it's the regulars - one week punt, captain - to tidy up before we turn to the week ahead and Free Hit for those on the WC32 BB33 FH34 pathway. We reveal our draft(s), debate the possible routes of attack and also talk over what those not on Free Hit might wish to consider for the upcoming blank gameweek. Sam (definitely) and Tom (maybe) will be back next Tuesday.
