Finally Not A Chip Week - GW35

Ignore the Template FPL Podcast ·

2025/05/01

Now that most of us are back to our old teams, who should we target for the final 4 game weeks? Today I discuss GW35 updates, questions from the Discord server, I review my FH34 performance and look ahead to GW35 and the transfers I have planned. Finally I close with a sneaky, unexpected Anything But FPL segment.

Free Hit Game Week 34!

Ignore the Template FPL Podcast ·

2025/04/25

Free Hit for Game Week 34 is all that matters. Just like the FH chip, I am not focusing on last week or next week. It is all about this week and this week we are focusing on the best players who do not blank. I walk through my ideal FH34 team, talk about the optimized algorithm FH34 team, alternative players one might sub in, general FH ideas and strategies, and then I jump into questions from the Discord. Finally I quickly review my GW33 performance because it was a BB to forget, and then ed...

Final Double Game Week?

Ignore the Template FPL Podcast ·

2025/04/18

Today is more of a departure from the normal checking on player stats to talk about ideas as a whole and brainstorming how to make this whole ecosystem better. Because let's be real, we have talked these double game weeks to death, all the potential chip strategies, and should already know the players to go for. I discuss my teams awful performance yet again, and look ahead to what I plan on doing for the potential final DGW (spoiler: going to play BB). Link to the Discord Server: Link Air...

Ignore the Template FPL Podcast ·

2025/04/11

Today let's talk about DGW32. We have to talk about general chip strategy and some player updates so lets get that out of the way before jumping into questions from the discord. I quickly cover my teams performance, another red arrow, follow by a quick update of my plans for DGW32. I thought today would be a short episode, but I just rambled for an hour. Hopefully it was informative. Link to the Discord Server: Link Airtable with all of the data: Link Link to my Reddit for all of my weekl...

Wildcard Game Week 31. Get Wilder.

Ignore the Template FPL Podcast ·

2025/04/04

Today let's talk about Wildcard for GW31. A lot of people may be using their WC, or will be transferring in players ahead of the doubles, so I discuss the top 3 players from each team that double in either GW32 or GW33. Before that I chat general chip strategy around this time, then I quickly talk about my teams performance in GW30 (meh), and my WC team for GW31. This is a long episode so I also get to some questions posted on the discord and bring back 'Anything but FPL' for a White Lotus th...

Today let's talk about Wildcard for GW30. A lot of people may be using their WC, or will be transferring in players ahead of the doubles, so what does the algorithm say when trying to optimize a team? Then I discuss the WC team I would play if I were using my WC Chip. The I talk through my even worse performance in GW 29 and plan for my own GW 30 assuming I don't use my WC.

Today we have to talk about Blank Game Week 29. A lot of people may be using their Free Hit Chip, or will be transferring in players who don't blank, so what does the algorithm say when trying to optimize a team? I run through 4 optimized teams with different parameters, and then discuss the FH team I would play if I were using my FH Chip. The I talk through my abysmal performance in GW 28 and plan for my own GW 29. Anything but FPL is back this week, and it is a STINKER, so if you like a ran...

2025/02/24

Today is a short episode becuase I completely did not realize we have midweek fixtures in the premier league this week and I wanted to get something out to you guys and update the data in the spreadsheet. So I quickly highlight a handful of players who have the best fixtures between GW27 and GW29 on paper. Then I review my team's performance and plan for GW27-29 myself.

Which Chip Was Actually Optimal?

2025/02/13

Today I do a bit of a review and analysis of the different chip strategies for Double Game Week 24 and beyond to compare AssMan Slot v. AssMan Moyes v. TC Salah. Then I discuss DGW25 and different options for AM, Aston Villa players to bring in or avoid, and go over what one might do with Trent Alexander-Arnold. Finally, I do a team review, plan for GW25-29 and jump into an 'Anything But FPL' segment that I have been keeping in my back pocket- and it is kind of a bummer of a reason for why I ...

Now that the EFL cup semifinal is settled, and Double Game Week 25 is confirmed, I discuss some of the decisions to be made about the (relatively) newly announced DGW25 honing in Liverpool and Aston Villa assets to consider along with the inevitable Assistant Manager chip conundrum. I also had to talk about Blank Game Week 29 now that we know Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham and Fulham will not blank.

Today is part 2 on my discussion about planning through blank Game Week 29 (and even peeking ahead to Double GW 33, Blank 34, and Double GW 36). Advice on how to optimize points over these gameweeks using the right chips (Wild Card, Triple Captain, Bench Boost, Freehit, and Assistant Manager) in the right game weeks. Then I use my team as an example to walk through my rough plan through GW 29, discuss my performance in GW22, and wrap the pod with 'Anything But FPL' where I welcome you to my b...

Today I discuss an overview and general guide to navigate all of the upcoming blank and double gameweeks, while also keeping in mind all of the chips you may have stored up (Wild Card, Triple Captain, Bench Boost, Freehit, and the beloved Ass. Manager). From GW 24-38 there are 15 Game Weeks to play all of those chips, and since the assistant manager chip is a 3 week chip, if you have all your chips that is almost half of the remaining GWs will be chip utilization. Needless to say, lots of pla...

Today I do a deep give into Value Added Per Million (VAPM)- What is it? Where did it come from? And why is it better than Points Per Million (PPM)? I also relaunch the spreadsheet in a much cleaner, and user-friendly format on Airtable (Google Sheets can suck it). I review my second green arrow in a row from GW20 and look forward to GW21 with a bit of planning. Finnally I wrap the pod with anything but FPL.
