Pro Pundits team up for exciting new podcast ‘The FPL Wire’

Ahead of the 2020/21 Fantasy Premier League season, we have added another podcast to our rapidly growing Scout Network.

Powered by DreamSetGo, Lateriser12 (three top 200 finishes), Zophar666 (seven top 10k finishes) and BigManBakar (came fourth in 2014/15) have teamed up to bring you ‘The FPL Wire’.

These experienced managers, who have loved this game for years, will be discussing FPL every Tuesday, hoping to give you all the insight, information and banter you need to make your big decisions.

All the three FPL managers featured on this podcast have very contrasting managerial styles. So we hope these personality differences lead to engaging debate, each of us analysing from three different vantage points.

Every week, they will be discussing a Hot Topic as well as an in-depth look into two to three Premier League teams. The FPL Wire’s pre-Season podcast debuted last week, where the trio discussed the top four teams, the promoted clubs and three other Fantasy-relevant sides in great detail.

In the second episode, they will be taking an in-depth look at how to tackle Blank Gameweek 1, Wildcards, Going with Mohamed Salah (£12.0m) as well as discussing Kai Havertz (£8.5m), Everton, Leicester City and Newcastle United. 

This podcast is powered by DreamSetGo, a sports travel and experiences platform offering bespoke travel and hospitality packages around global sporting events, and curated experiences with your favourite sports celebrities.

All the statistics used on this Podcast will be from the Fantasy Football Scout Premium Members Area.

      Everybody overlooking Kun I think. Will be interesting to see how many people need to rejig their teams to get him in after one good performance from him.

      With Sterling I would still prefer KDB as my premium Man City mid. Even if I get torched a couple of weeks with Sterling being streaky, I think KDB is a better long term choice.

      Looks good, very template though (including the transfers). Guess it gives you the flexibility later to mould the team in your own way.

      My only question mark in your team is Saka. I think he's a great player, just don't think he's nailed to start, so I'm avoiding for now.

    is gonna start a PL game early in the season and if he does well then he will be kept in the starting lineup for Marcelo Bielsa. But I'm trying to find who will be and probably I think it will be Douglas cause Leeds against easier opponents like FUL(gw2) needs his set pieces

        Yes Romeu is decent. But Hojbjerg, was good imo. I’m not Overly worried for Southampton defenders or keeper in the opening weeks, as they have an excellent run of fixtures. But if the clean sheets don’t stack up in these, then it’s time to look at alternatives.

          He has been isolating because he was 'in contact' (no pun intended) with the Czech masseuse.

        Cheers man. I've tried not to be too template and trying to think beyond GW1. I think only one premium mid is needed at any given time in order to captain them. No Salah has meant I can really beef up my defence.

        The Laporte news is a bit of a hammerblow, but I think it's a sign of things to come this season for all of us. A bench of people that will actually play is critical I think. All those with fodder will be constantly be using their transfers up.

        The long-term plan is to play a 4-3-3 and only use ASM and Soucek when I really need to.

          It looks good. Having double CHE early doors could be a real springboard.
          I originally thought that the 'carnage' of GW1 blanks would be fun... I was wrong! It is turning me in knots!
          I like your GW2< structure.
          I've ended up being ridiculously template, which has left me somewhat underwhelmed.

          Agree re the bench too - we are going to have a number of random omissions due to covid, and I'm also thinking to avoid having 2+ players in a game where possible, because I can see delays/cancellations being a thing. A la the Czech squad in their NL game.

            I like to look at template teams to get an idea of who is doing what and then make up my own mind and make some punts. I fully admit that my two CHE are unproven in the prem and might backfire, but I think the upside is too good to ignore.

            Blank GW1 has been a nightmare hasn't it?! I think a lot of people are going to get stung with price rises which then means they can't make their planned transfers.
