    Our Fantasy Premier League managers discuss two different approaches to Blank Gameweek 35 in our latest podcast.We have decided to record in two legs (a la Champions League) this week, while we sit at the Double Gameweek 34 half-way stage.David and Jak discuss how their teams are getting on so far with both the Triple Captain and Bench Boost still in play for them.But the key discussion topic this week was how to plan for Blank Gameweek 35, with a specific look at the sides who have played their single DGW34 fixture already.More importantly, David tells us what his Free Hit squad might look like while Jak explains his approach to BGW35 and the rest of the season because he has no such chip to fall back on.#FPL #FantasyPremierLeague #PremierLeague #thfc #mufc #mcfc #lfc #DGW34 #fantasyfootball For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy

    Whether or not you should sign players who don’t have a fixture in the next gameweek is a subject of discussion on Waiting On the Bonus Points this week.Some FPL managers have been transferring in the likes of Son Heung-min, Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford for Gameweek 31, despite the fact that they will not play – because of their involvement in the FA Cup.With discussions about how to plan for the upcoming blank and double gameweeks without Wildcard and Free Hit chips, David and Jak speculate if this is how some managers are future-proofing their squads.Our very small of players eligible to be signed in Blank Gameweek 31 increases slightly this week after some differentials emerged in Gameweek 30.That means David and Jak have been able to update their very unreliable-looking BGW31 squad.With injuries to Sergio Aguero and Harry Kane we also look ahead at some potential long-term replacements for them if they end up sidelined permanently.For more tips on how to navigate the blank and double gameweeks without a Wildcard and/or Free Hit chip, listen to last week’s episode HERE: http://bit.ly/2FCLPKJ For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy

    Our Fantasy Premier League podcast 'Waiting On the Bonus Points' returned this week after a short hiatus - and it's finally time to talk about 'Chip season'.How to ensure you have a decent team playing in blank Gameweek 31 was our big talking point as FPL bosses work out how to navigate the peaks and troughs of the next few weeks, particularly with their GW30 transfers in mind.If you've still got all your chips left then David's advice will help you work out when to play them.But those of you with only a few of them left can benefit from hearing how Jak will play out the rest of the campaign, because he's in the same boat as you.  GW31 is proving particularly problematic considering that there seem to be very few avenues for investment, so David and Jak combine forces in an attempt to name a starting XI for it and in what order you should sign those players.As people continue to sign Mohamed Salah even at this late stage of the campaign, we assess whether or not it's too late to bring him in if you haven't done already.#FPL #FantasyPremierLeague #PremierLeague #EPL #BPL #liverpoolfc #watfordfc #stokecity #evertonfc #afcbournemouth #westbrom #huddersfieldtown #crystalpalace For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
