Thirty third episode of the Fantasy Football Surgery Podcast, the surgeons this week boast an injury list similar to that of the usual Arsenal Christmas period! With Parker, the Beard and Woodsy reporting injuries akin to Wilshere, Walcott and Welbeck, Bully and the Icemen are left like the ever present Bellerin and Ozil to pick up the pieces! Join the dynamic duo as the Iceman's consistently accurate stats are offset by the media discussions of the podcast host! This week each upcoming post international break fixture is critiqued with a range of panel picks, differentials and a few ideas for captains offered. There is a decidedly Belgium theme to discussion as the golden generation still appear to be in full force despite their early Euros exit, although one early season essential appears to have fallen somewhat from grace! The game of the week Liverpool vs Man Utd brings to the fore some "must" have and "might" have attacking talent, with England's finest in discussion... a discussion that the unfortu

Thirty second episode of the Fantasy Football Surgery Podcast, another game week and another weekend of twists and turns in the Barclays Premier League, although one club remaining on the straight and narrow is the sky blue half of Manchester. KDB has been the delight of many FPL managers but the torment of others in the absence of the soon to return Kun Aguero. Which surgeons gambled to profitable effect on the mercurial Belgium, is he worth putting in arguably 3 weeks too late and finally can he be accommodated with Kun? The return of Woodsy brings with it the usual shenanigans and some obscure picks...but has he called a gem this week?! Stats, facts, form and even a little history to boot! The pod welcomes back community regular and common sense talking Tom Campbell- a rarity for the Beard absent surgeons! As discussion turns to the defensive crisis in FPL this season TC makes some fine shouts with Everton strongly in mind. The differentials is shaken up with the briefly improving Bully finding himsel

Thirty first episode of the Fantasy Football Surgery Podcast, the surgeons are joined by trainee Rhys once more from his travels down under, providing a worthy stand in for the absent Beard and West Ham biased Woodsy. The post wildcard fall out dominates early discussion with a mixture of financially astute and appallingly managed selections. The golden rule here? Let's just say the 11.30am transfer deadline on a Saturday becomes a real theme! Panels picks throws up an old argument debated by FPL managers since his arrival in the BPL. Lukaku, brilliant at Sunderland but the ever hanging doubt over his consistency makes the surgeons ponder jumping on the bandwagon. Deadly Diego Costa is also scrutinised as one of the surgeons struggles to tolerate the uncertainty of his temper! The differential league continues with some great returns for one manager. Stand in Rhys is condemned to his box although offers an interesting alternative to the other panelists! Captains choice is not as obvious as you may think. P

Thirtieth episode of the Fantasy Football Surgery Podcast, a lot can change in a week of FPL, especially on transfer deadline week. Bony and Remy have gone from forgotten squad men to realistic striking options, Sterling from the Euro’s clown to the deadliest attacking midfielder under 9 million value and Sergio Aguero has thrown us all into turmoil at the swing of an arm! Last week we had the Zlatan wildcard debate. Did you bite and go early? Well if not, this week Kun fuels our discussion over the big international break change up. Do you spread the glorious 13 million coming your way for taking him out or will you be more conservative and plan for a hit free transfer on his return. The surgeons divide to give their perspective and recommend a few alternatives. Woodsy is back and as usual is blinded by claret and blue bias as he reviews Bilic's latest signings. A more neutral Parker suggests a big man in blue but will the Iceman's stats support his theory? The differential league is taking shape with a

Twenty ninth episode of the Fantasy Football Surgery Podcast, the surgeons go global as the usual line up minus woodsy and the beard are joined by a special guest in the most unusual of circumstances! The form of Zlatan Ibrahimovic has raised a huge issue for FPL managers. Those that backed him to bring his brilliance to the BPL can sleep soundly with ready to face Hull. For many though to get him in on this hot streak means cashing in that precious wild card. The panel are divided on this issue of do you/don't you and the difference in perspective makes for keen listening! Speaking of keen the differentials mini league is off with a bang and a usual face sits atop the inter pod standings. Find out who the surgeons are calling to make the difference this weekend! Captains choice draws a somewhat predictable conclusion but not without a few others you may want to punt on to gain ground... Dare you bet against Kun? Finally we answer your twitter questions and there is a decidedly Everton theme developing in

The surgery mini league has started more popular than ever and with the victor gaining the spoils we review our positions and the top listener's performances of the week. There is a decidedly blue them to the panels pick section with the irresistible Hazard firmly in the thoughts of the team.

Twenty third episode of the Fantasy Football Surgery Podcast, the lads return as the fantasy football season draws towards a depressing close but not without a final double game week to raise the decision despairing adrenaline levels that managers everywhere have come to crave. The panel focus on what is left at stake. Does United's slim chance of European qualification make the favourable or are LVG's army more focussed on cup final glory? Kun Aguero has been a no brainer this season but with City in the champions league does his 13 million price tag make him a favourable player to offload with just 3 weeks to go in favour of a more balanced side? This is discussed with the usual mix of ideas. Eden Hazard, we have all looked to the footballing gods for redemption and it would seem our prayers were answered with some increasing consistency in form and a title deciding goal to boot. Does his still hefty price tag warrant a final punt? Differentials draws a mixture of ideas with the late arriving Woodsy and

Twenty second episode of the Fantasy Football Surgery Podcast, tune in to the latest installment from the surgeons but don't be late as Parker has a new punishment wheel up his sleeve! Facing the impending stress of double game week prep as per usual differences of opinion divide the panel over Liverpool. The question is, does the Beard forgive Klopp or do the rivers still run red with the blood of anger from his fiery beard? West Ham feature in the panels thinking with a live transfer showing full commitment to the cause. Surprisingly Payet is not the name on everyone's lips!

A brace at the weekend has one keen surgeon purring again and his value is discussed at length....not without the interruption of some water works! The panel answer your Twitter questions with the double game week in mind. Romelu Lukaku, fast turning into the marmite of the premier league, divides opinion with some ready to divorce and others wan

Twenty first episode of the Fantasy Football Surgery Podcast is brought to you within DGW34. We're sure all FPL managers have been drawn to the appeal of twice the opportunity for players to score. The Surgery team are no different, as we discuss the use of the newly introduced chips and whether minus points are leveled by DGW under-performers. We offer our suggestions on the limited future GW35, as well as the usual features of the captains choices and differentials. There's also an attempt to be comical from our sound effect expert host Bully! As well as congratulations for Parker as he breaks into the top 2k of FPL teams! With the unfortunate absence of 2nd place Beard man, the rest of the panel try to determine the recipe for Parker's success. With the help of Norwich owner and part time chef Deli Smith we establish that's it down to choices of pure luck. Add a generous portion of random decisions, you can use Jamaal Lascelles or Firmino mixed in with as many of the bitterest lemons you can find, left f

With them being a couple of men down this week it brings about a new host, can Big time Charlie Parker get over his ego and lead the surgeons to another successful podcast. The special guests is rumoured to be a relation of Sol and Kevin..... it’s Tom Campbell. Tom has finished in the top 5k in FPL for the past 2 years can he further insight for the season run in? In addition his hero turns out to be the iceman. With this in mind he tries to out stat the iceman, with plenty of stats and opinions, who will send you to sleep the quickest? Iceman or Tom? Once again, the surgeons choose their panels picks, with so many teams and players involved in the double game week, who will the surgeons put their money on? The differential picks look at Man City and Liverpool and try to pick which other options there are with a congested fixture

Nineteenth episode of the Fantasy Football Surgery Podcast, spring, summer, autumn and winter have passed, moving FF managers world-wide into double game week season. Join the panel as they plan the end of season run in with the usual mix of the sensible to the absurd! The Iceman serves up a generous helping of humble pie supported by the community for his choice to wildcard early. This is met with a mixed reaction from high flyers Beard and Parker. Everton and Palace predictably dominate this week's suggestions with a debate over the PSG and Real Madrid courted £60 million Lukaku. The question is, would Aguero or the wizard be a better choice for skipper with their respective home games? A debate breaks out over Firmino and Coutinho. Can the former still score highly in the shadow of Coutinho and Liverpool's ever rotating list of crocked strikers? Your Twitter questions are answered as usual, sadly without the tender tones of the potty mouthed Woodsy, who has taken brief career break of one week! Fin

Eighteenth episode of the Fantasy Football Surgery Podcast, after many failed recordings (due to the Iceman's IT illiteracy) one of the surgeons decided to jumped ship so HMS FF Surgery was missing it's El Capitano. The Iceman decided to promote the obvious choice.....Woodsy. Can this former rogue surgeon change the course of HMS FF Surgery or will it plough straight into the iceberg? Charlie starts us off serving up further Pelle humble pie and woodsy regrets picking and captaining Newcastle's new left back Sissoko, who will rouge host choose this week? The surgeons decide to learn some German after Vardy and Kane's exploits in Berlin. A change of tact from the bearded one as he backtracks on his fear of the double game week, this after convincing all of the surgeons to stay clear!

When bullard does decide to turn

17thEpisode – GW31 - Double the game week, treble the panic! Being a fantasy football manager is stressful and throws enough curve balls at the best of times, so naturally the Premier League have waited until the last month of the season, when tensions are running highest, to throw in two double game weeks! Panic sets in amongst the panel with the different approaches to such a dilemma becoming quickly apparent. The Iceman is at his mathematical and predictive best as he accounts for every scenario to influence your decision making. Lukaku looks to be back in the points again and his appearance in both double game weeks draws debate from the panel. Confidence in the late rise of Liverpool is quickly shot down by a less than impressed Woodsy, staunch in his support for West Ham making the top 4! Did you ever think you would hear a Newcastle player suggested on the podcast whose name is not Gorgeous George? Well sit back in disbelief as one panel member skilfully justifies and backs his selection! Temper

Sixteenth episode of the Fantasy Football Surgery Podcast, join the band of surgical misfits as the speed bump that is game week 30 approaches. Laced with big hitters but with the potential to throw out the balance of teams, resulting in later hits, the panel propose a mixed approach. Is this the week for the Mike Bassett 4-4-2 philosophy? A debate breaks out over the Leicester back line bringing to the surface once more the rivalry between Parker and the Beard. Can the whispy ginger tickle of Beard's mind games continue to gain him ground on the champion in waiting? Or will an iron nerved Parker hold his position? Man City feature heavily before a number of eyebrow raising differentials are thrown into the mix. The Iceman is at his statistical best as he blinds the team with science and math! Captains choice draws a division between the panel. Kun provides the ever present option but once more the Iceman has a startling proposition! He did call Arnie in gameweek 28 though so it may be worth a punt. Fin

Fifteenth episode of the Fantasy Football Surgery Podcast sees the panel reunited and fielding a full starting line up! Apologies listeners but we didn't manage to get a Podcast up for GW28 but this one will make up for it. Woodsy has the opportunity to reply to the comments made in the previous episode. The panel delve into how FPL is affected by the players diet. Further revelations into Parker's nutrition advice reveals the cause for Raheem's lack of performance since arriving at City. Woodsy combines his nutritional advice with responding to a tweet suggesting Iceman's voice having a famous tone. COOKIE! We debate into the use of chips and whether to utilise them during double game weeks or specific fixtures. This allows for more competition between the mini league rivals Parker and Beard and there's a DGW challenge set. The pressure of the quiz continues to increase with the threat of Cattermole being included in the losers 2016/17 FF squad. The quiz then leaves one panel member sobbing into their

Fourteenth episode of the Fantasy Football Surgery Podcast. The absence of our social media mogul, the much maligned Woodsy, sends shockwaves through the panel as they scramble to fill the void left by his absent banterous tones. Fortunately this gives rise to a rare week of panels picks without West Ham players! Parker's nutrition advice seemed to benefit the Man City opposition in the FA cup and heads are turned towards one Spanish forward who is used to playing with the "freedom" of the Nou Camp! Iceman cannot appear to hide his growing love for Leicester with an uncharacteristic shout for this game week, whilst stubbornly backing a Stokalona maestro for captains choice just to remind us he's in charge... Find out if he can resist a tempting wager posed by the panel to follow this through! On the subject of captains choice, the panel offer their weekly installment of "lie to me" with decisions changing by the minute! As the Beards mind games appear to be working on his fellow podcast nemesis, listen a
