With goals down and defenders dominating the fantasy leaderboard, the crew bring Duncan back to dig into whether this is just early-season variance or a real tactical shift in the Premier League. Are center-backs the new fantasy goldmines, or will full-backs and wing-backs bounce back as the season settles?

We also get into rotation roulette, holding vs. dropping underperforming players like Antonee Robinson, and the eternal truth that sometimes you just have to win your week first. Plenty of laughs, a bit of therapy for frustrated managers, and some lessons learned the hard way along the way.

Gameweek 6 is nearly here, and the waiver wire has never felt more important. With forwards flopping across the board, the crew debates which strikers are still worth the headache and where fantasy managers should really be looking for points. From midfield gems emerging off the wire to defensive streamers you can trust, we break down the best adds (and the deadweight drops) heading into the weekend.

Plus, we check in on injury updates, lineup roulette, and whether it’s finally time to cut bait on some of the biggest names in your squad.

Deadline Day and waiver night collided to create one of the wildest days in league history. Trades were flying across continents, last-minute faab deals flipped the balance of power, and more than a few managers lost sleep (or their sanity) trying to land Xavi Simons or Woltemade.

We break down all the drama across the Premier League, Championship, and League One. From blockbuster trades to last minute panic buys, before announcing our first Manager of the Month winners of the season.

Even if you’re not in the league, this one’s packed with banter, strategy, and deadline-day storytelling that every fantasy football manager can relate to.

The lads sit down with Ricky to talk all things Manchester United. From the summer spending spree and the midfield imbalance to whether Bruno Fernandes should have been cashed in on.

There’s also a debate over whether Cunha and Mbeumo can both be productive fantasy assets in the same team, plenty of Glazers talk, and the usual mix of frustration, banter, and reluctant predictions on where United actually finish this season.

In this episode, the crew welcome back Ricky for a deep dive into waiver wire strategy and the hottest pickups heading into the international break. We break down defenders, midfielders, and forwards under 50% ownership worth targeting, plus the drop candidates you should finally cut loose.

The conversation also turns to early-season panic levels on big names, with plenty of debate over whether to hold, trade, or bail out now. We also tackle the faab trade market, when to go all-in, and whether Xavi Simons or Newcastle’s new striker Woltemade is the bigger prize.

As always, there’s banter, breaking news mid-recording, and a few off-topic detours, including whether parents can really win fantasy titles.

In the final episode before the main draft week, the crew delivers a full-course fantasy meal, starting with transfer updates, key injuries, and formation debates, before diving into a listener-powered mailbag.

But the main event? An 8 round draft showdown.

Tim plays host and judge as Gary, Karl, and special guest Duncan face off in this challenge, with only one rule: no picking players with an ADP earlier than the round you’re in. Each drafter gets 30 seconds to pitch their pick, the clock ticks down, and Tim decides who wins the round.

It’s part strategy, part banter, and 100% draft prep. It is filled with deep picks and not short on hot takes.

In part two of our draft deep dive, the crew tackles the trickier positions: forwards, where scarcity strikes early, and defenders, where finding reliable production means digging past the obvious names. They close the episode with their Plant Your Flag picks - one must-draft player per position for the 2025 season.

Continuing with their three-zone draft framework (Rounds 4-16), the hosts weigh upside vs reliability, make the case for consistency at the back, and debate which late-round forwards are worth the risk. If your draft falls apart after Round 6, this is where you turn it around.

In part one of this two-part draft special, the hosts dive deep into the engine room of every fantasy team: the midfield. With early rounds already well-covered, they shift focus to the real draft zone - Rounds 4 to 16 - where leagues are won, lost, or thrown into chaos.

Using a custom-built data model, they spotlight undervalued mids, post-hype sleepers, and the names quietly climbing draft boards. From reliable starters to dart-throw punts, the crew debates who’s worth reaching for, who’s too risky to trust, and whether reliability actually beats upside once you’re out of the early rounds.

Along the way, they hit listener questions, share draft strategy tips, and make the case that sometimes the unsexy pick is the smartest one on the board.

In episode two, the crew digs into the numbers to uncover what draft slots actually perform best and which might doom your season before it begins. Is picking first a trap? Is the eighth spot cursed? Backed by 11 seasons of data, they break it all down.

They dive into roster-building strategy, position value, and the case for ghost-point grinders over flashy forwards. The episode also features a crash course for FPL managers switching to Fantrax, including tips on streaming, waiver wire aggression, and how to avoid early-season mistakes.

Whether you’re chasing a title or just trying to avoid the drop, this one’s packed with lessons you don’t want to learn the hard way.

In the debut episode of Fantrax and Football, the hosts break down the highs, lows, and lessons from last season’s Premier League fantasy draft. From overvalued stars to sleeper gems, they explore what went right, what went wrong, and how to build smarter in 2025.

They dive into tier strategies, risky picks, and the dangers of over-trading, while spotlighting key player situations — like City's rotation chaos, Frimpong’s breakout potential, and how to feel about Brentford’s stars outlook. The episode wraps with bold predictions and hot takes, including why Salah might not finish top 3 and why Anthony Elanga could crack the top 12.

Trades flying, tempers flaring, and a few managers already in crisis mode — the Gazette is back after the international break. Tim, Gary, and Karl tear through the latest deals across all three divisions, from eyebrow-raising swaps to outright steals, and debate who came out on top. We dive into waiver wire chaos (yes, Trey Hume again), surprise results, and which managers might already be circling the relegation drain.

It’s part league report, part therapy session, and as always, plenty of laughs and off-topic detours along the way.

In this Added Time, Michael joins the crew to relive one of the wildest Fantrax stories yet - his infamous all-in bid for Ronaldo, the faab trades that gutted his team, and the lessons learned along the way. From rookie mistakes and time-zone drama to figuring out trades and waiver strategy, it’s a crash course in how experience makes you a better fantasy manager.

We wrap with deadline day reflections, Michael’s rise from mid-table to the top of the Premier League, and of course a heated debate on who scores more this season: that Swedish guy or the German prince.

With Gameweek 5 looming, the crew break down the best waiver wire pickups across every position, and just as importantly, who it’s finally time to cut loose.

We also hit the Discord mailbag for lineup dilemmas, and wrap things up with our Start of the Week picks, a segment that already feels cursed after last week’s results.

Gameweek 4 is in the books, and the crew are joined by Michael to run through the week’s heroes and zeros. From defenders piling up points to big-name midfielders who left managers frustrated. Newcastle’s new striker Woldemade makes his mark, Arsenal’s midfield injuries spark concern, and Liverpool keep grinding out late wins.

Along the way we dig into Sunderland’s surprisingly reliable defense, the ongoing Villa and Watkins struggles, and which early-season trends fantasy managers can really trust. Plenty of laughs, debates, and a few brutal own-goal stories included.

In this Added Time, the crew sit down with Sean to dig into one of the most important parts of draft fantasy football: how to work the waiver wire. From identifying who to drop, to streaming defenders and goalkeepers, to spotting value in predicted lineups and opponent matchups, Sean shares the strategies that have helped him win multiple titles.

We also get into faab bidding, lineup roulette, and why sometimes the smartest move is simply picking up the player someone else just dropped. Plenty of practical advice here, with the usual laughs and side-tracks along the way.

This week the crew tackle the biggest fantasy headaches of the early season. From injuries to under-performers, we debate whether it’s time to move on, stay patient, or test the trade market.

We wrap up with the debut of Starts of the Week, where each of us locks in one player we believe will go big in Gameweek 4. Expect heated debates, a few controversial takes, and plenty of laughs along the way.

Gameweek 5 is in the books, and the Gazette crew dive into a wild week across all three divisions. From the rise of the 5-4-1 meta and backline-heavy lineups, to controversial group chat bans, heated trade debates, and long-awaited first wins, there was no shortage of drama.

We look at how managers are coping with bad luck, wasted benches, and the curse of forwards who can’t score, while others ride defenders and mid-table magic straight to the top. Add in a few trades that could reshape title races and relegation battles, and it’s classic Gazette chaos from start to finish.

We run through the week’s heroes and zeros, highlight surprise names like Danny Welbeck and Sean Longstaff, and debate what to do with underperformers like Isak, Cunha, and Savio. Add in Pep’s possible end to roulette, defenders putting up monster scores, and the eternal headache of VAR, and it’s a packed review show.
