Summary

After recapping our scores from GW33, and celebrating Josh's dizzying new overall rank, we turn our attention to active FPL wildcards, running through all eight teams with a double in GW35. (And, yeah, we didn't forget about Cardiff, who have a double GW34, along with Brighton.) Are there any truly essential players for your wildcard? Should you consider teams without a double? Will squad rotation amidst European competitions spoil the party? Plus, we answer listener questions in our lightning round before a closer look at the fixtures and captaincy options for GW34.

0:07.0

Matches, deadlines, unexpected blank and double game weeks, on top of everything the real world has had in store.

Sometimes you need a moment to turn off and hit reset.

0:17.0

That's when you reach for Coors Light. It's made to chill.

0:20.0

For me personally, supporting Fulham during this last year has been a true roller coaster ride.

0:25.0

Honestly, when that Adama Troiori goal flew past Ariola and the 92nd minute of Game Week 31, the only thing that saved my mental state, the only thing that calmed my nerves was cracking open at Coors Light.

0:37.2

There's only one beer out there

0:38.4

that's literally made to chill, and that's Coors Light. The mountains on the bottles and cans even

turn blue when your beer is cold. That way, you always know when it's time to chill. When you

0:48.4

need to hit reset, just open a Coors Light, it's mountain cold refreshment made to chill.

0:53.7

And listen, everyone, summer is pretty

0:55.5

much here. It's about to get hot in New York. An ice cold Coors Light is such a perfect way for me to beat

1:01.7

that summertime heat. Coors Light is the one I choose when I need to unwind. So when you want to hit

reset, reach for the beer that's made to chill.

1:11.3

Get Coors Light and the new look delivered straight to your door with Drizzly or Instacart.

My name is Josh. I'm here with Brandon. Brandon. How are you? My word, Josh. Wild cards active over here. Somebody sent me the gif of Dr. Strange who says, we're in the end game now. And we're going to talk a lot about wild cards and double game ways coming up. Do you get the sense that we are now in the FPL end game? Yeah, I do. It's, uh, I think I'm ready, you know? I think it's been 33 weeks. It feels like much longer. I was looking at some, I was looking something up in my inbox in the email. Like I was trying to find like some had with somebody about fantasy. And it was like, let's start a last season. And the conversation was like 260 days ago. I was like, got to say. We've changed so much. Yeah. Have we been talking about the same season for 260 days? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, if anyone's ready, it's got to be you, Josh, because you had a stormer of a game week 33. Let's just put the score check up front so you can sort of let the air out of the hot air balloon that you're in right now. Yeah. So I finished on 95 points on the game week. I did take a minus four.

2:55.6

It was a minus four that worked out about as well as a minus four ever will, I think,

because I took out Felipe Anderson and Gonzalo Higgy Wayne,
