Summary

On this week's episode, the Cheaters recap the wild non-results of blank GW29 and discuss what went wrong—and what could've gone worse—on the Free Hit chip. With the season's final international break ahead of us, we also take a beat to consider our strategies for the fantasy season's run-in, including the potential of remaining double gameweeks and chips. Then it's time to revisit our beloved feature: Kings of the Gameweek! Looking at top scorers in GW21–29, what lessons can we learn and what patterns can we discern from the teams, players, and positions that appear in the Fantasy Premier League site's often overlooked feature? Hail Cheaters!

Heyle cheaters. Welcome to the iOS cheating podcast. It's Josh. I'm here with Brandon. Brandon, how were you during this crazy Game Week 29? How are you doing? How were you doing? What a wild one.

0:28.9

Yeah, ups downs. Strikes and gutters, definitely more of a gutter-filled week. But there's a lot to sort of pick through in terms of like

0:38.5

what a game week like this means to dial-in managers. Dial-in managers will think I should

0:46.1

have done better, especially ones on free hit like you and I, you would think we should have done

0:51.2

better. But how much better would you expect to do when you basically just brought in a ragtag team of mercenaries?

0:59.5

I got nothing apart from an assist from Morgan Gibbs White.

1:03.6

I still had a game week rank of $1.3 million, which is really good.

1:10.5

And I had a chunky green arrow so it was 588 K

1:15.9

so there you go even better right so in that sense the free hitters you kind of just had to

1:23.5

really on purpose soil your pants to screw it up.

1:28.5

Like there was really no way to not get a green arrow if you free hit.

1:33.1

But if you didn't free hit, I also feel like you're happy, generally happy with sort of like

1:40.5

holding rank, holding serve in a way.

1:43.4

I think you've got to be delighted. Unless you took like a, you know, unless you took like a minus eight or a minus 12 just to save the free habit. But otherwise, I saw a lot of people who were like, I can get to eight and a minus four. And that felt like a totally or seven, maybe even seven. I feel like I would probably try to, I don't know why eight is like some magic number that I have, but that felt like the number you needed to to get the cover some of the big assets. I think what was interesting about this one was, I don't feel a ton of regret. I mean, first of all, I'm on 27 points, which felt huge, right? because I had I I had Gibbs White, and then I went for Fafana

2:18.9

over, um, over, over, uh, Morris. And I, you know, I really was strongly considering Moone's.

2:25.6

And then I got a little spooked. It wasn't just you talking about Mooney's, like possibly being at

2:31.5

risk. It was also, uh, there was some, you know, um, there was some news that, there was some news that, what's his name was, was back as well. I'm getting so old all of a sudden, but I cannot remember me what you were talking about. Raul, Raul Jimenez. Yeah. Follow my train of lodger there. There was a player, was there a forward who was back for Fulham? It was, it was, that was, yeah. So that was, but anyway, I got there on my own, thankfully. But Raul Jimenez was back as well. And I didn't necessarily think he was going to start. But I just sort of thought, well, Moonews may not play that long. He scores one goal, which was fine. And then he scores a second one that he had very little to do with, I would argue. But he was, I mean, that's a box in the box goal right there, which is what you want from your number nine. Yeah. That's true. When it first happened, I thought it was like it deflected off his leg. You know, it was almost like he didn't really do anything. And then on replay, it was like a Luke Hitch goal. Yeah, yeah. But it was kind of, so in the end, yeah, I finished on 13 points. So anybody who like if I had literally just kept the team of the team that I had, well, because I had Anthony Robinson, right, who finished on 11 points. and if I brought in Mooneys, I would have, and then I would have had Debravka, son. I would have captain son. If I literally just made that one move, I would be on more points than I would have been on my free hit, even with only like six players for this game week. It's, you know, it's kind of remarkable how you just, you had to get a couple right.

3:58.5

And so,

3:59.2

uh,

3:59.4

getting Fafana was,

4:00.4

was enough of a difference maker and also having, um, um, uh, Gibbs White as, as you did I, sort of like, you know, I was not as high on Gibbs white and then I just sort of, basically my thinking as we got closer to finish that statement as as high on Gibbs white as

4:00.2

oh as you were. Yeah, as I was going to say, you and many others. He became a popular pick, I feel like, down the search there. As they do after I shot them out on the always cheating podcast. That's true. That's true. And we heard from many moonies managers who were upset that you
