“Most of the FPL podcasts work well due to the interaction and banter between the co-hosts. As a lone presenter, I feel Mark is at something of a disadvantage in that respect, but he is an excellent presenter and it has not been to his detriment. Podcasts are succinct, which I like, and I enjoy...”Read full review »

“I’ve listened to quite a few different FPL pods over the last 3 years and I find Mark provides the best content out there. Clear and concise info that helps you make your own informed decisions. Listening helps keep me level headed and it stops me from making too many rash decisions. I highly...”Read full review »

“Not much insight and nothing to set this Podcast apart from the FPL Pod crowd. Waaaay too many Ads for a podcast that weighs in at just over 20 minutes for some episodes”

“The General’s podcast is the best there is. He has a method for playing the game which is so helpful, so calm and consistent that you end up having more fun as an FPL player. The content is always brilliant - never a wasted minute, because it’s so concise and to the point. You could waste hours...”Read full review »

“Hi the content is great but the volume is way too low. I have to turn it up to max volume and still really struggle to hear it when I’m listening to my pods (on my commute).
Same can be said for most Athletic pods.
But enjoyable when I can hear it.”

“Well worth your time over the course of the run up to the gameweek. The new Friday episode’s agenda and concise nature is fantastic, particularly if you’ve held on to your transfer until then.”

“This is IMO essential listening for any FPL player looking to improve their rank. The tone is a bit more serious than other pods out there but the content is well researched and to the point. If you only listen to one FPL podcast a week then this is the go to.”

“I really like the podcast, I think Mark does a great job and it’s now my go to pod for FPL. However why oh why do you release a podcast before the GW has ended. Last week the podcast came out before the Spurs v Liverpool game. Mark’s strategy was to bring Kane in, obviously with Kane getting...”Read full review »

“I love Mark’s articles on The Athletic and supplements them well on this podcast. I follow both The Official FPL Podcast (who doesn’t love AC Jimbo) and this one. Great Saturday morning listening just before the regular 11am Saturday deadlines - very granular and meticulous in his approach and...”Read full review »

“Been listening to the General for a few seasons now, look forward to it every week. Highly informative and everything is explained at the perfect level as he’s able to connect with the veterans and newbies alike. Top stuff!”

“Used to like the quick 30 min pod but with all the advertising on it now it’s just completely ruined it as have to constantly skip the adverts. I know the General probably needs adverts as he’s doing it full time and for a living but this is too far much the other way”

“Agree with another reviewer, removing the pauses changes this completely - way to heroic sounding now. Used to love the slow and considered pace of this podcast.”

“Mark - please put your natural pauses back into the podcast. I’m guessing you have a new editor at Athletic but cutting the pauses out of your speech after every sentence ruins the pace of the pod. Today’s pod is like listening to an fplgeneral on speed. The pod is not a race, you are sharing a...”Read full review »

“I played FPL in 2018 and finished with a pretty average rank of 2.2 million. This year I started listening to this podcast after seeing some of the General’s articles on The Athletic, and now I’m ranked inside the top 2,000 after 14 green arrows in the last 15 GWs. Is it a coincidence? Maybe you...”Read full review »

“This podcast is extremely helpful and easy to listen to. Mark does a great job keeping us in the loop with all his insider information. I’m doing well this year in FPL and I feel it’s because I’ve become a Patreon member of his. Check it out if you want to do better.”

“Format = 5* - Many other FPL pods get a bit rambly. This one doesn’t as the regular sections give it structure.
Presenter = 5* - The General is very funny and his lovely Irish accent is soothing to listen.
Content = 5* - The General is one of the best FPL brains (just check his rankings over...”Read full review »
