18: What has happened to the Premier League strikers? Will Sam Allardyce make Everton players worthwhile and Mohammed Salah or Eden Hazard?

Wednesday, December 6, 2017 • Duration 46:53

A short time ago Fantasy Football managers were racking their brains to work out which of the many goal happy strikers to leave out of their teams.But now it seems as though none of them are capable of exploding with midfielders now taking pole position in the must have lists.Gabriel Jesus, Sergio Aguero, Harry Kane and Romelu Lukaku have been some of the biggest disappointments of late, while Alvaro Morata and Alexander Lacazette not doing much better.On this episode of Waiting on the Bonus Points that is one of the many discussions between the Gutman turned host (Jak Ball), Mr Emotional (Beren Cross) and The Sleeper (Richard Amofa).We also debated whether or not it was time to take Everton players a little more seriously after the arrival of Sam Allardyce.Also up for discussion was Mohammed Salah and Eden Hazard, Burnley's lofty heights, the Champions League and dark horses for a busy December.We also held the second leg of the Ball v Amofa Friday Night Deadline quiz after the first round ended in a 2-2 draw.#FPL #GW15 #GW16 #FPL #CFC #LFC #AFC #EFC #MUFC #MCFC For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.

16: Point-banking schedules, wildcard thoughts, Champions League chat, Liverpool v Chelsea and is it time to drop Harry Kane and Romelu Luka

Wednesday, November 22, 2017 • Duration 48:36

The underwhelming performances of Tottenham's Harry Kane and Romelu Lukaku has a big talking point around the Fantasy Premier League Community of late.And that is no surprise with the pair costing £12.8m and £11.5m respectively, although it is Kane that is perhaps the biggest cause of concern.We discuss a shocking statistic for both the 'in' and 'out' arguments and ask whether there is cheaper and better options out there.A number of teams have some 'point-banking' runs over the next few weeks, with Crystal Palace players possibly being risks worth taking.We have had a look at the schedule of Roy Hodgson's men, but they aren't the only team with tasty fixtures.And with January just around the corner we ask whether it is time for those who haven't played their wildcard to do so, before it goes to waste.David Munday didn't pass a late fitness test so Gut Man Jak Ball took on the role of host.He was joined by Mr Emotional Beren Cross, who had the worst reaction to a forfeit yet, and The Sleeper Richard Amofa.And it was Gut Man v The Sleeper in the latest Friday Night Deadline quiz, could you do better than both of them?
