A proper trawl through the Discord this week, with questions ranging from ugly first-round draft returns and ADP misses, to bad trades, inactive managers, and what to do when a season starts sliding sideways.

We talk through a controversial trade scenario, where bad decision-making meets league integrity, and how commissioners should (or shouldn’t) get involved.

Along the way, Pascal Gross gets another mention, Chuckwueze’s bench value is debated, January transfers are put under a Fantrax microscope, and a few familiar names are firmly on the “hold or move on” line.

Gameweek 22 delivered chaos at both ends of the Fantrax spectrum. United stun Arsenal in courtesy of Dorgu and Cunha, Spurs somehow find new ways to frustrate, and Crystal Palace officially enter freefall territory.

From there, the episode moves into a full league check-in, featuring razor-thin margins, huge individual performances, and several teams quietly shifting momentum as the festive schedule approaches.
