Can we go a gameweek without bashing Tottenham?

| GW 4: We're the dumbest FPL players | 17 Sep 2024 | 00:37:30 | |
Ever watched the classic comedy Dumb and Dumber? Well today meet the Fantasy Football equivalent! Following on from a disastrous (and still Haaland-less) gameweek 4, Dr Luman and Manish discuss their measly scores whilst bemoaning Crystal Palace assets, Liverpool & Brighton's blip and Villa's bad at the back but good up top form. Then they each pick out differentials for gameweek 5's fixtures and Luman asks 'Should Haaland be £20m next year?!' | |||
| GW 4: What are they? | 13 Sep 2024 | 00:35:38 | |
The international break is over and Fantasy Premier League is back! Ahead of gameweek 4, Dr Luman and Manish assess each team and ask 'what are they?', in order to figure out whether or not to invest their FPL pounds. Are Man City are champions again? Do the promoted teams go back down? And what the hell are Chelsea?! | |||
| GW 3: Looking back in FPL anger | 04 Sep 2024 | 00:37:33 | |
In a week where Oasis reunited, were Fantasy Premier League Managers sipping on champagne supernova or looking back in anger? Dr Luman and Manish both reflect on gameweek 3, with both without Erling Haaland again. With Liverpool's perfect start, they assess which assets other than Salah to get in and how Brighton's budget ballers are providing value for money. The pair also receive their first listener contribution from cousin Vinay, the United fan! | |||
| GW 2: That's what £15m gets you | 27 Aug 2024 | 00:54:18 | |
It was a Reservoir Dogs like bloodbath in FPL this week! Haaland owners hacking off the ears of managers who were Erling-less. But Manish has no regrets despite not having the big Norwegian (for now) whilst Dr Luman is cursing being stuck in the middle with clowns to the left of him (Watkins) and jokers to his right (Isak). The pair review Fantasy Football gameweek 2 and look ahead to a tantalising Tarantino sequel with United Vs Liverpool in GW3! | |||
| GW 1: New season, same FPL | 20 Aug 2024 | 00:37:26 | |
Is anything more certain than death, taxes and an opening day Salah FPL haul? It may be a new Fantasy Football season but it was a familiar story for Mo and most of the other big hitters. Dr Luman and Manish discuss this dejavu, whilst also trashing Chelsea and Spurs, bigging up Brighton and the Brentford duo. The pair also gulp at GW 2's fixtures.... Haaland vs Ipswich eek! | |||
| FPL 24/25: We'll be there! | 16 Aug 2024 | 00:52:47 | |
Fantasy Premier League is back and so are Dr Luman and Manish. Join the long time friends as they struggle to balance work life, dad life and FPL life in this weekly pod. This episode previews the season where the two discuss why their none of their defenders are more than £4.5m, a collection of budget midfielders with big potential and what to do with £15m albatross around everyone's neck - Erling Haaland! | |||
| Gameweek 38: Thanks for the memories FPL 23/24 | 22 May 2024 | 00:25:37 | |
Following the final FPL gameweek of the 23/24 season Dr Luman and Manish talk about what Jurgen Klopp's legacy will be (and what could have been), the one trait that both Pep and Fergie share, and how the top three FPL players this season are all English (does this bode well for the Euros?). The pair also look at the overall Fantasy Football winner and whether data beats the eye test. | |||
| Gameweek 37: Poznan-ing our FPL points | 17 May 2024 | 00:28:10 | |
We go Spurs bashing in our post gameweek 37 pod! Dr Luman Ali and Manish discuss how Tottenham have broken Big Ange, whether Cole Palmer could be the new Egyptian King (you know what we mean) and who to invest in for the final weekend when so few teams have anything to play for. We also wonder whether Salah will still feature in teams next season and Manish admits to employing a dirty FPL tactic. | |||
| GW 35/36: FPL Wildcards work wonders | 07 May 2024 | 00:34:42 | |
Gameweek 36 was yet another Fantasy Football points feast with both Dr Luman Ali and Manish's wildcards activated. They reflect back on great totals again, despite one not captaining Haaland, they laugh at Spurs and Man Utd respectively, heap praise on Michael Olise and consider a low-key super Chelsea asset. Then it's a look ahead to FPL gameweek 37 and which fixture gives Manish the heebie-jeebies! | |||
| GW 34: The worst 100 point week in FPL history! | 26 Apr 2024 | 00:24:53 | |
Wow, did you feast on FPL points? How could you not! With so many players scoring so many points, somehow Dr Luman Ali manages to score the worst century in FPL history! He and Manish breakdown a monumental gameweek, which includes Mateta madness, scoreless Salah and ridiculousĀ returns everywhere (except for Liverpool). We also look ahead at the weekend's fixtures and wonder whether you're better off avoiding a double gameweek team for the captain's armband. | |||
| GW 10: One for FPL homies | 08 Nov 2024 | 00:35:05 | |
Did you notice the odd thing about Premier League gameweek 10? There were no away wins! How do home vs away fixtures affect your FPL management? Are there such things as 'fixture proof players'? Dr Luman and Manish discuss this and Arsenal's fading title chances, the little owned forwards gaining some consistency and whether you can go big on Spurs against Ipswich. #fpl #fantasypremierleague #podcast #fplcommunity #podcast Youtube: / @adiffcornerpodcast Pod: https://podfollow.com/a-different-corner-a-fantasy-football-podcast TikTok: / adiffcornerpod IG: / adiffcornerpod | |||
| GW 33:Oh, the heartache of FPL | 16 Apr 2024 | 00:39:56 | |
Whilst the overall points of gameweek 33 in the FPL were excellent for both Dr Luman Ali and Manish, the pair are commiserating their real life teams' results at the weekend. We discuss whether we should put a fork in Man City's 4-peat pie (it's done!), Cole Palmer for Player of the Year and who the best finishers in the league are right now. We also look ahead to gameweek 34 in Fantasy Football; which the 'meh' double teams are, the difficulty in using a wildcard, and which players with just a single game might be best investing in. | |||
| GW 31/32: Upgrading to FPL biniz class | 08 Apr 2024 | 00:38:14 | |
Lots to discuss after FPL gameweek's 31 and 32, from Dr Luman's exasperation at his beloved Liverpool's missed chances against Man Utd to a strange analogy which sees him hypothetically sat next to Hollywood bombshell Heather Graham! We also discuss how all Haaland owners have "royally messed up" this season and the differentials making a difference. | |||
| GW 30: A premature FPL knee slide | 02 Apr 2024 | 00:34:57 | |
There are lots of questions left to answer in the title race but there are even more coming out of this FPL gameweek. What is Newcastle Utd? How does Man Utd's goal live such a charmed life? Is Eddie How the new Jose? Dr Luman and Manish discuss it all, though Luman does have an answer to whether Erling Haaland is a flat track bully! | |||
| GW 29: The FPL gameweek that echoes in eternity | 28 Mar 2024 | 00:34:06 | |
It was the worst average gameweek score in FPL history! Even so, Dr Luman shows us why he's playing Moneyball! He and Manish dissect his astute Fulham signing, an obscure season for low scoring defenders and goalkeepers, and the opportunity in GW34 with 7 doubles! | |||
| GW 28: An FPL kick in the chest! | 13 Mar 2024 | 00:31:14 | |
Groan! Gameweek 28 was awful (unless you're that guy who captained Son away at Villa!). In this episode Dr Luman and Manish chat through their season's lowest FPL scores, reminisce over Henry, question whether Haaland is a flat track bully and Luman points at the elephant in the room of how the title will be decided! The kingmakers are... | |||
| GW 26: We back to FPL baby! | 01 Mar 2024 | 00:36:17 | |
Like those comedy skits that weirdly interjected Hip Hop records in the early 2000's, Dr Luman and Manish are finally back after a prolonged intermission to the podcast. They discuss Gameweek 26, where they talk West Ham's key man (not Bowen), Arsenal fans' "crappy analysis" and whether you're better off without Haaland! | |||
| Gameweek 17: The FPL Bengali James Bond | 11 Jan 2024 | 00:43:04 | |
Dr Luman and Manish discuss Gameweek 17, where things go from bad to worse for Manish, we question whether Saka in FPL terms is worth the money and we play a game of Who's Your Man?Ā | |||
| Gameweek 16: The FPL celebration police | 11 Jan 2024 | 00:44:08 | |
Dr Luman and Manish discuss Gameweek 16, where we talk Salah, laugh at Man Utd and talk about our favourite goal celebrations (not John McGinn's!). | |||
| Gameweek 14: The Kop erupts for FPL | 11 Jan 2024 | 00:39:31 | |
Dr Luman and Manish discuss Gameweek 14. We discuss missing out on Watkins points (d'oh!), horrible goalkeepers,Ā Ā Liverpool in a title race (?) and the reason we think Man City are struggling. | |||
| Gameweek 10: If the FPL team aināt broken | 11 Jan 2024 | 00:43:14 | |
Dr Luman and Manish discuss Gameweek 10. All of our previous talk about questioning Haaland goes in the bin, Luman goes wild (to his detriment) and Mbeumo being back in the pot of mid-price midfielder points. | |||
| GW 9: Too Many FPL Man! | 30 Oct 2024 | 00:48:50 | |
To quote Boy Better Knowās excellent grime hit of 2009, thereās simply āToo Many Manā to fit into those FPL striker positions! It seems every budget forward is in hot form right now, so who do you get in? Dr Luman and Manish discuss this from gameweek 9, as well as Arsenal Vs Liverpool, Saka, Wood, Mbeumo and the heartbreak for Haaland triple-captainers.

| Gameweek 7: FPL check complete | 11 Jan 2024 | 00:33:25 | |
Dr Luman and Manish discuss Gameweek 7. Chatter revolves around the farce that is VAR, Luman breaking into the top 0.4% of FPL players worldwide and a new feature called 'fast love'. Ā | |||
| Gameweek 4: First world problems of FPL | 10 Jan 2024 | 00:32:10 | |
Dr Luman and Manish discuss Gameweek 4's FPL points haul. They talk their captain's hat-trick, precious points on the bench and NFP (Non Haaland Points).Ā | |||
| "I predict a record scoreline!" - Gameweek 9 preview | 25 Oct 2024 | 00:08:36 | |
Erling Haaland is playing at home to Southampton and he's blanked in three weeks. Is this the gameweek he unleashes all his pent up goals? More than 70% of fantasy football managers will be hoping so (maybe even triple captaining him!)

| GW8: Explaining one of the lowest FPL weeks ever! | 21 Oct 2024 | 00:32:24 | |
If like us you went āEeek!ā at this past gameweek, then settle in for some cathatric FPL content. Dr Luman and Manish attempt to explain one of the lowest GWās in FPL history, despite goals from Salah, Watkins and even Son (remember him?!). Itās all got to do with that big fella up in Manchester blanking AGAIN, as well as the side shows not performing. The pair also talk about the two lower ranked teams who could be turning their seasons around and the budget ballers you might never have considered.

| FPL Winter is Coming | 14 Oct 2024 | 00:40:15 | |
Itās well and truly winterish weather in the UK but thereās nothing like the return of Premier League Fantasy Football to warm Dr Luman and Manish up. The pair discuss what to do with Mo Salah, walking the āHaaland tightropeā and they assess the value of FDR (fixture difficulty rating). The two also look back at a player that gave them both huge joy - Andres Iniesta! #fplshow #fpl #fantasypremierleague #podcast #fantasysports #fplgameweek #gameweek8 Ā Pod: https://podfollow.com/a-different-corner-a-fantasy-football-podcast Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@ADiffCornerPodcast Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@adiffcornerpod IG: https://www.instagram.com/adiffcornerpod/?hl=en Ā | |||
| GW 7: Starboy is the FPL man | 07 Oct 2024 | 00:36:38 | |
Does Fantasy Premier League turn you into a fickle and greedy person? Well it did to Manish in game week 7! Dr Luman and he discuss the elusive chase for #fpl consistency, how Mbuemo is mmm-bueno and who the best #fantasypremierleague defence this year is - #arsenal, #liverpool orā¦.. #manchesterunited (yes really!)

Well that was a gameweek to remember for Cole Palmer owners! Luckily, we've got someone who captained Chelsea's own starboy on the show- Dr Luman Ali! He and Manish discuss why the FPL comparison shouldn't be Palmer Vs Saka, but Palmer Vs Mo Salah! The pair also go through the Premier League Fantasy Football players they've both slept on (McNeil) and the new teams to avoid (Palace, United, West Ham). Oh and Cousin Vinay returns!

| GW5: FPL Dark Arts | 24 Sep 2024 | 00:38:48 | |
This week's pod starts with a right ol' ding dong between Dr Luman and Manish as the pair debate whether a draw for Arsenal at the Etihad was a good point or not. Luman goes takes us back to #Barclaysmen of 04/05, when United (down to 10 men) beat the Gunners at Highbury. They also discuss Fantasy Football's biggest stories from gameweek 5, including special mentions for 'Dat Guy' Danny Welbeck, Luis Diaz the new Salah, Emile Smith Rowe and Fulham in general, and the maths that proves that Nico Jackson is better value than Erling Haaland!
