Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our GW9 Preview of the 24/25 season! A shortened show this week means the lads delve straight into the players on their radar. Cheap forwards seem to be the flavour of the week with some good output, underlying numbers and fixtures for a couple in particular. The return of a former FPL Lounge player of the season also has the lads intrigued. Captaincy follows with an interesting dilemma for FPL managers. 3 blanks in a row for Haaland and City...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our GW8 Preview of the 24/25 season! Back from the international break, the lads start by going over the big non-FPL related news: Thomas Tuchel's appointment as England manager. They also look at any big injuries and late returns from the international fixtures. The radar has a familiar feel to GW7, with only new additions to the fringe, but that does include an old FPL Lounge favourite and a winger with a good fixture run in the next four. No...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our GW7 Preview of the 24/25 season! As is often the case, the lads start by considering the impacts of midweek European action on FPL. Onto the Players On The Radar and - possibly for the first time ever - someone in each position makes it on. A fixture swing for a Big 6 team sees two of their players make the cut, plus one player carried over from last week and a new one who the lads have previously warned against! A huge, and possibly...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our GW6 Preview of the 24/25 season! Back to a normal length pod after a shorter one last week, the lads start by discussing the minutes and team in midweek action, including a poor result for Andy's Man United in the Europa League and plenty of rotation in the EFL cup.

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our GW5 Preview of the 24/25 season! A shortened pod this week because of a holiday in the Lounge, the lads start by discussing the minutes - and injuries - from a midweek round of EFL cup and Champions League matches.

The lads finish...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our GW4 Preview of the 24/25 season! International break is over, so the lads are back to FPL, and the new rolling transfers rule means managers have more flexibility to make changes now the transfer window has slammed shut!

They've also got two teammates on the fringe that...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our GW3 Preview of the 24/25 season! Transfers and price change galore this week - the lads discuss the talking points from these and the impact on FPL.

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our GW2 Preview of the 24/25 season! With not much going on in the wider football world the lads being with their players on the radar. What are the upsides of transferring in any given player this gameweek versus rolling the transfer for future use?

They swim against a large tide...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our GW1 Preview of the 24/25 season! FPL is back, bebe! The lads are excited for another FPL season to begin, but with many changes to the game, and some interesting price points for many popular players, the idea of a template seems more tricky than ever. The lads begin with their radar picks, including a high-owned premium asset on the centre of the radar, but whose ownership at this time last season was more than double what it currently is. Is this...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our GW37 Preview, the penultimate preview of the season! It's a big double gameweek - the last of the season - with six teams having two fixtures, so a key opportunity for those final chips to be used, especially those that have held their Bench Boost or Triple Captain chip/ The radar has a fresh feel, with additions maybe of a differential nature, given the template feels so strong in FPL at the moment - the best assets are just simply so high owned,...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our GW36 Preview! The potential for rolling a transfer looms large over this gameweek but there are still plenty of appealing options for your FPL teams. The radar looks similar to last week's with great fixtures and doubles still on the horizon for the league's oil rich clubs. Some movement though with players going up, some going off and some newly appearing. The eyes to next week's double are also wide with the anyone else list slightly longer than...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our GW35 Preview! A double gameweek for two teams gives a focus to this week's pod, although with many managers on Wildcard, the lads run through a few permutations including how seriously to take this DGW35 and when the best time is to play your bench boost. The radar has had a facelift, with plenty of new names to discuss, including a mercurial young Englishman and a super Swede on the mid-range, and a whole host of fringe picks to get you...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our DGW34 Preview! Big double gameweek for seven teams (and a blank for one) means divergent strategies - including in the Lounge! - so the lads run through some thoughts about how to tackle the DGW34 depending on what chips you've left.

The radar has a familiar feel to last week, but with some upgrades for *some* Crystal Palace assets, and the inclusion on the radar for the most expensive defender in the game....

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our GW33 Preview! The key FPL news kicks us off and it focuses on this GW being in a European sandwich. Like last week, the radar is influenced by the chips you may or may not have left, and by a large DGW looming next week. A couple of new additions make their way on including a previously much maligned FPL asset with some very interesting recent stats. Some interesting returns from injury for big players has also caught the lads' eyes. Hold your...

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our GW32 Preview! A shorter pod than usual this week due to work commitments, but a GW32 preview is here all the same, with all the key info you'll need before the deadline.

Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our GW31 Preview! Like buses, you wait aged for one pod and then two come along in quick succession! It's a short turnaround to GW31 but there's plenty of FPL news - most of it injury related - and with little time for press conferences before the deadline, some managers may feel underprepared. The lads add some fresh blood to the radar though, with another addition to the centre, a rare foray into a double-up defence in the mid-range, and some Liverpool...
