    Getting Effectively Owned | Gameweek 21
    Jan 7 2025
    The frantic festive period in fantasy football came to an end this weekend with a typically rollercoaster final week. Tom & Sam are back to assess the outcomes and look ahead to the business end of the season in our new Tuesday slot! This time, we zero in on the specter haunting FPL managers week to week: effective ownership. We ask: how does it affect our gameplay at different times, and indeed whether we should pay any attention to it at all? Plus in the Gameweek ahead previews, there’s lots of information to come with cup ties galore before the next Premier League matchday but there’s still the usual roster of the Kneejerk (this week: do we back our horses or chop and change in the edge piece positions?), best transfers, bold claims and, finally, a bit of actual discussion in best captains this time around.

    New Year, New Fortunes | Gameweek 20
    Jan 1 2025
    Happy new year and welcome to WGTA 2025! Sam & Tom start the year with the festive fixture run nearing its conclusion, with a show on new year’s day! This week, with Mo Salah smashing through the 200 Club barrier in record time, we take a moment to bow down to the Egyptian king while also spending time nominating who else of the current crop of FPL players we’d back to join the Liverpool talisman beyond 200 points this season. Plus we look ahead to the final weekend of the frantic festive fantasy football period, discussing Forest in the kneejerk, other top transfers and our bold claims. And best captain summed up in one word. Then it's onto this week's teams, and a bit of an advice clinic for Tom as Doctor Sam looks at the options available!
