I've only seen a few of these and only really started watching this summer but from I've seen/heard the market is massively saturated and there's maybe 5 minutes max of unique content or opinion. I like the General and I agree strongly with the FPL Mate review, seems a nice chap but too up other peoples backsides

I only watch The Wire, and sometimes Blackbox. They're not so self-focused on their own teams and in telling viewers what to do. It's more a scientific rummage through the data, and then discussing what they find.

I do quick scan through the FFS ones to get free member's data.

I like Trigger, Planet and FML. I don't mind elite FPL when they are calling out all the other CC's. We need more of that imo. I stopped watching Wire because of Bakar but apart from him it was ok. I have to filter the ridiculous UTD bias though ;-). Above average is quite good too.

I can't stand Andy or Raptor. Think they are just a drain on FPL in general. Poor FPL players given a platform by impressionable noobs who don't understand any better . Don't like Black box either. Just a boring stats fest with two washed up managers ( one who used to be really good at FPL)

As for Hub you can judge them by the kind of people they employ. Bakar and FPL Salah. I think Bakar must have a begging for money in the streets background and FPL Salah , FPL's resident homophobe. I also think FPL Salah and FPL General have the personality and charisma of a dead dog

Never watched any of them.

The FPL Raptor bit is funny and true. I watched one stream and was bizarre, I didnt know there were FPL groupies, fair play to him, tedious to watch though.

Az and Marc and the Wire guys I think have the best mix of good info and watchable content

I watched Andy’s stream pre deadline because it seems I have to. Half the things he read out were fpl questions, the other half were questions about himself.
“Have you done something with your hair?” Was one. Jesus Christ, his head is so inflated he’s got his own moon orbiting it.

Fmlfpl I’ve listened to for years. I like it because they make me laugh and Walsh, even though he’s not very good at fpl, he does talk a good game.

I’ll listen to whatever Mark is on for old times sake, even though he’s not very good anymore.

Raptor I’ve never listened to but any grown man who wears a baseball cap the wrong way around is an immediate avoid.

The wire is ok but they can be a bit cringe with their macro/micro bollyocks and the Fmlfpl fanboy thing. They’re even doing mugs now. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery as they say, or something like that.
That hub green arrow is ok. Adam is the dullest knob going but that Fergie one comes across as a nice chap.
Harry is nice. Sort of a chap I wouldn’t mind my daughter marrying. He plays the game differently to me and gets good ranks so that always intriguing. That’s the main thing really. If anyone is doing it differently and better then I’m interested.
That’s all I’ve listened to really.

FPL Raptor, Harry and LTFPL in that order for me

I watched 2 deadline streams simultaneously on saterday on 2 screens…Fpl harry and lets talk andy.
Now i wanted to conduct an experiment. Since gameweek 1 they have identical teams so there ranks are obviously exact same. They both brought in jackson roughly 3 mins before deadline. Harry first quickly followed by andy. Then they both tried to move mbeumo to the middle of midfiel for symetry.
I couldn’t believe what i was watching. Wasnt it FFS that made andy who he is. How come hes so affiliated with the hub now instead of here?

Appreciate the nice words about Blackbox guys!

“Washed up” though? Implies I was ever on the high seas!

Had quite a lot of time to kill in recent months due to health issues, so listened to more than I normally would.

Black Box and Wire probably the better ones in my opinion. Given that they talk through their thought process and wear their club biases on a sleeve, it's easier to see whether you agree with them on FPL.

Interesting topic this as you have to like the content, but you also have to “like” the person and find them easy to listen to, especially if (like me) you like to consume content with earphones whilst having a walk or doing something like mowing the lawn.

Personally like the Blackbox interaction with Mark and Az - there is a place in the FPL world for 2hr content and it suits my method of consumption.

Also love the FPL Wire guys, though I never really warmed to the “Big Man” so bringing in Pras is a massive plus. It helps my wife is (and so all my in-laws) Indian so listening to them is very easy on the ear for me and makes me feel like I am being loyal!

I do like LTFPL Andy, but agree since he switched to Hub the plugging is incessant. I mean seriously, we all know and appreciate the need to give a plug to justify the sponsorship, but beyond that shut up!

Like FPL Harry - I don’t find him that easy to listen to but it is short and you have got to respect the man’s recent rank history.

FPL Mate reminds of an excited puppy trying to jump your leg. Annoying.

If you want a complete change, and a smile, and don’t mind Americans, the always cheating chaps actually are quite good.

I am pleased and surprised the powers that be made it a hot topic. Good on acceptance of criticism.

BlackBox is my favourite by a distance, reminds me of the old Scoutcast days and Mark is still the guy whose opinions on the game I want to hear the most. I like the format, the stats prompting the discussion is what I want from an FPL video and I like how it's scheduled.

Scoutcast itself is still decent but don't tend to tune in every week. Beyond that I tend to avoid shorter videos or videos where it's just one person giving their thoughts, I'd rather read an article or even a Twitter thread for that. I like the idea of Focal's retrospectives but I'd rather just be able to look at previous seasons in depth myself.

Don't mind hearing from LTFPL Andy but prefer him as a guest on other platforms, can't imagine watching the entirety of his deadline streams. Sometimes funny to watch back if the servers crash but not good when the entire purpose of the stream becomes not showing your whole team because people will copy it.

I like fpl blackbox. It's something I have on in background/listen to with earplugs whilst doing other stuff.
Also fan of fpl Harry, likeable chap. Dont watch his streams but do follow LTFPL on twitter

The Art of the Dive. Marco and Jake. Simply the best.

I occasionally watch Blackbox.

I can't stand these "content" creators. They are all the same, have the exact same thumbnail graphics, team templates and talking points. Casing point was that none of them were talking about Sterling and now this week they all are.

It is a tragedy that these bottom feeders are now getting confidential team links that influence the game.

I miss the old scoutcasts with Mark, Jonty and the much missed Granville. It was once a week, nice banter and about FPL. Now Scout has about 200 bland videos a week.

Got a link to Praz?

Do you mean @pras_fpl ? I can't find a YouTube channel for him. Thanks.

Thank you for the mention and the constructive criticism. Really helpful to read these and reflect on how to improve. Conscious that YouTube content esp. long form content isn’t for everyone.

FPL Virgin and The Knight’s Template

Trigger.
I'll drop into these if time suits for good entertainment on a subject (FPL) I'm interested in. I find I'm not influenced by the presenters, just enjoy the crack.
Team news occasionally if I haven't read the pertinent info, but would be a much better 'show' if the presenter wasn't there & just Neal providing the info. Being told to Like the show even if I don't and shoutouts to people in the stream is just tiresome drivel. All IMHO obviously.
Blackbox would be top of my list for statistical info combined with entertainment, find the relaxed format and the presenters chemistry easy on the eye/ear.

Mark no 1
Raptor 2nd

Az, most likable
