Are you a Fantasy Premier League player looking to get an edge in your mini leagues? Are you tired of podcasts that talk about the same players, for the same reasons, every single week? Do you actually want to have fun playing? So do we! Longtime friends and soccer (yes, football) players, Derek and Kevin started avidly following the Premier League about 6 years ago: when NBC picked up the television rights in the US and vastly expanded the number of matches available for viewing across the Atlantic. Kevin discovered Fantasy Premier League a few years ago, with Derek jumping in just last season. Needless to say: we’re hooked. Between fighting price movements, taking hits because of last minute teamsheet leaks, or trying to crush our mini league rivals, we’ve had our hands full. And we wouldn’t have it any other way. So now we want to share what we’ve learned, comically expose what we haven’t, and otherwise have a darn good time bantering about the whole thing. Oh, and did I mention we like to play differently? Well, at least Derek does. Kevin might play a bit safer, and that contrast makes the discussion all the more fun and enlightening. More than anything, we discuss FPL as fans of the actual game! FPL is meant to enhance our enjoyment of football--not the other way around. So enjoy the game, and enjoy the show!

Derek and Kevin
