Gameweek 7 summary
A rare sight that’s becoming more and more common this week as Rhys finds himself top-scoring and up in second in the podcast league.
He counsels Chris and Tom as they despair over their teams and league positions. We try to see light at the end of the tunnel by discussing transfers for the next few game weeks.

Gameweek 3 summary
We look ahead to next week as Chris mulls over a Wildcard, and look in depth at formations given the less than impressive defensive start across the board.

Gameweek 2 summary
Gameweek two of the season is now in the past and it's the lesser lights of the league who lit up the week with budget options like Pukki and Barnes offering terrific value.

Effing end of season review
It's our end of season review! There was obviously plenty of interest in both European finals so we touch on the shared despair from Madrid and Baku before revisiting our predictions from August.
We also take some time to hand out our esteemed end of year awards to the FPL players who have surprised, dazzled and disappointed us.

The only Spurs fan in Glasgow
This week Tom's back but Chris has disappeared to cheer on his beloved Spurs from Glasgow (obviously)... hear his thoughts on the match as well as our considerations for the final week and Tom's triple captain dilemma.

Undisclosed Greek Island
Tom's away on a secret scouting mission this week so it's down to Chris and Rhys to cover our performances in an exciting gameweek 36 as well as any potential punts or must-haves for the final run-in.

Guess who's back!
Welcome back to another episode of Four Four Effing Two, apologies for the extended break! This week we cover our strategies for the rest of the season including the must-haves players and any remaining chip opportunities.

Free Hit me baby one more time
In this episode it's all about the free hit chip. We think the upcoming double gameweek is the perfect opportunity to play it so we discuss the best options for building a one week squad.

Captain Marvel
This week Chris is back (yay) but Rhys is away (boo) therefore he and Tom discuss THAT upcoming blank gameweek. They offer a template for a free hit and manage to record the entire pod without mentioning the North London Derby! Well, nearly...

All in on Chips
Tom and Rhys hold the fort once again as Chris continues his scouting odyssey but don't worry - he'll be back next week! It was a very disappointing week for all concerned so the focus turns to when to play chips in the double and blank gameweeks coming in and after gameweek 31.
There's also a quick look at any teams that are catching our eye with their fixtures or form moving towards the end of the season, including Palace's front two.

Pep's not Sarri
It's just Rhys and Tom this week as Chris is off on a scouting mission to Brazil to unearth the next Kleberson - listen out for his match report after his first Palmeiras game!
The first blank gameweek is now just around the corner so a bit of planning is required to ensure a full 11 can be put out without jeopardising future weeks so Rhys and Tom set out their plans to deal with this.

Driven In-San\u00E9
It's been a tough week so far with all of us below the average so feel free to ignore any advice we give, but if you're happy to overlook this blip then tune in as we take a look at some of the new signings from the January window.
We also take a look at Sane and whether he can operate in the same team as Mendy, and what this might mean for his (currently rather angry) owners.

Digne a hole
It's a quick one this week with the midweek round of fixtures meaning we only have a handful of games to review - don't let that put you off though! We take a look at how our teams are progressing so far (prior to Wednesday's fixtures) and then discuss what on earth to do with Lucas Digne.
Suspensions and injuries mean that there's a lot to consider including a potential free hit. As always get in contact with us on email at fourfoureffingtwo@gmail.com or on Twitter @44Effing2.
Blankety Blank Gameweeks
This week Chris and Rhys are in control so they take a deep dive into the potential blank and double gameweeks that are approaching in the next few gameweeks.

Harry needs a Kane
It's been an interesting week with injuries wreaking havoc with all of our teams. We spend most of the podcast discussing strategies for replacing Kane and what to do with the cash it can free up.
Once that's settled it's time to look at Dad watch and finally we have a winner in last man standing!

Arnie'll be back!
The panel are back after their Christmas break with lots to discuss after being away for a couple of weeks. There's highlights and lowlights from the festive period's FPL action as well as the usual Dad watch and last man standing.
Furthermore, we have had some questions (yes people actually want our advice!) regarding Aubameyang, Pogba and whether captaining a defensive player is ever a viable option.

Last Christmas, I gave you Joe Hart
As well as the normal look back at the weekend's points haul, the panel take a look at their strategies over the busy Christmas period including some potential Man Utd options... and we didn't even know Jose was going to be sacked!

No Salah, Mo Problems
His enjoyment did mean his absence from the pod however, so Rhys and Tom were steering the ship alone this week as they discussed the weekend's action as well as the best way into that Man City team now injuries are starting to make selection slightly clearer.

Pep Roulette
There's the usual FPL roundup with each of the panel's teams coming in around the average and there's a bunch of transfer activity leading up to the festive period with Spurs and Man City players at the top of the Christmas list.

Sterling Appreciation
Sal's got in touch via Twitter for some advice (which Rhys feels completely unqualified to dish out after his recent performances) so the panel take a look at some possible options for his team, before moving onto last man standing, which is getting expensive!
As always get in contact with us on email at fourfoureffingtwo@gmail.com or on Twitter @44Effing2 if you have any questions.
Dunk Beds
There are some more listener questions to discuss surrounding Bournemouth's tricky run, Leicester's slightly easier run and whether Trippier is still a viable option in defence.
Unfortunately Tom and Rhys failed to stick around in last man standing so we're pleased to announce a huge rollover to next week!

The Wild Wildcard
Meanwhile Rhys is a click away from committing to a wildcard so the panel apply some pressure to ensure he follows through with it.
After inspiring Morata to score two goals over the weekend after a listener question last week, is it time to find a diamond in the rough in Newcastle's squad?

Wilson!
Chris' miserable FPL form continues but Tom and Rhys' decision to squeeze Salah in by any means pays dividends.

Martial Law
In other news Rhys' Wijnaldum advice is terrible and Tom is enjoying his trips to the Emirates again. Finally!
It's Coming Home!
With the international chat out of the way it's time to move onto looking at the FPL weekend ahead and the panel's goalkeeper tactics are under the microscope.
The Bench Connection
In Fantasy Premier League news, a lack of faith in Wolves' defenders costs Chris and Tom and too much faith in Harry Kane costs everyone.
