We are officially entering the last double gameweek of the FPL 25/26 season, which means it’s smooth sailing from here on out. Man City and Crystal Palace double this week, the former against Brentford (H), the latter against Everton (H), before the pair face each other at the Etihad. This...

Although it is by no means fascinating, there is only one way to start this article: you should probably roll your transfer. Most managers wildcarded in GW32, bench-boosted in GW33, and free-hit last week, and the trajectory of that strategy means you likely have a strong side this week. We...

Off the back of this season’s largest double gameweek (which, at time of writing, has not yet fully concluded), we have this season’s largest blank gameweek. Hence, it will be free hit galore this week, and with good reason, given most who went aggressive with doublers last week will have...

Ladies and gentlemen, it is upon us: the largest double gameweek of the season. Many (if not most) will be playing their bench boost chip this week, while others will be free-hitting ahead of a GW35 wildcard. Regardless of your strategy, it’s time to put the inevitable captain’s armband on...

Walter White is an overqualified high school chemistry teacher. When faced with a sudden lung cancer diagnosis and an unplanned second child, he turns to cooking methamphetamine to pay the bills.

Before Arsenal were bundled out of the FA Cup by Championship-dwelling Southampton, the chip strategy seemed all so simple. Hence, the Gunners no longer double in GW33, and neither do their opponents, Newcastle. Many have thus questioned whether it’s even worth deploying their wildcard with a far more restricted repertoire...

Blank GW31 is upon us, and many managers will be looking at a starting team without enough playing assets to field a full 11. That’s where this article comes in. We still don’t know the guaranteed doubling and blanking teams for GW33 and GW34, respectively, so I’ll discuss that at...

By that headline, I refer to how it’s probably worth rolling your transfer this week. Set your best starting 11 and take a load off, although that doesn’t exactly elicit significant article engagement. If this column persisted only on readership, I’d no doubt be out of a job. Ahead of...

Ominously setting the scene: the earth is on fire, and that’s not being written as a loaded political statement, but instead deployed as an empirical scientific fact. The reality that my previous statement needs to be said is troubling, a sign of climate change’s geopolitical standing. This year’s Australian summer...

The headline says it all. GW27 was an absolute horror show for me, with all but three players netting above two points. It was impressively poor, and many managers are likely to be in the same boat or the opposite side of the coin. It was a week of flying...

Today’s digitised world knows, and today’s digital world remembers. As our entire lives are mapped onto the online sphere, so is our politics, increasingly centred on the posts of various ideological and partisan leaders and the bureaucratic institutions they lead. The recent Mandelson saga brought this home for me, as...
