FPL Ruined My Weekend
FPL Ruined My Weekend is a Fantasy Premier League podcast hosted by three brothers who use the game to settle old scores. Each week they review the weekend's matches, focusing on failed transfers, poor captain picks, and ill-advised differentials, before making the same mistakes again. The show balances self-deprecating humor with genuine frustration, appealing to those who take fantasy football too seriously. New episodes are released at the start of every week while the pain is still fresh.
Episodes
Back down to earth
After the highs of a massive Bruno haul last week, Joe crashes back down to earth with another disappointing game week.Jake makes an inspired transfer to propel himself back to the top of the league, while Josh is burning through his chips in a desperate attempt to avoid the long bus trip down to Coventry.It's just another week in the battle to avoid the bottom of the pile at FPL Ruined My Weekend
We don't talk about Bruno
Joe captained Bruno Fernandes as a differential, banked 111, and has been insufferable ever since. Josh finally got his bench boost to work and still lost the weekend to a single game. Jake scored 78, three below average, and somehow feels worse than both.You've got to love FPL.
Josh's bench boost
One week in and Josh has already missed a deadline and failed to pull the trigger on his bench boost, so just the small matter of Rogers and 18 points down the pan.There was so much pre-season optimism, but Josh and Joe already sound about ready to quit. Jake is sitting pretty at the top of the league but even he's ruing those Kayode points sitting on his bench.It can't go on like this can it...?
Set in Stone
Last episode we said none of these teams would survive the week. They didn't. We set a rule that whoever changed the fewest players wins. The lowest score was ten.Teams locked, deadline Friday, and everything we said in episode two now worthless.One rule: fewest changes from your original squad wins. Nobody came close. One of us rebuilt his entire squad four hours before recording and finalised it
Subject to change
How do you build a squad that's well set to frustrate? Three brothers, three different approaches but one overriding conclusion: none of these squads will be in place come the deadline. And casual Jake is being anything but casual about pre-season... could this be the year he breaks into the top 500k?
Meet the brothers
Three brothers, one mini-league, and a season's worth of bragging rights on the line. Before a ball is kicked, we introduce ourselves properly: our FPL histories, our best and worst ever finishes, and the forfeit waiting for whoever finishes bottom.
