This week we're joined by special guest Jamie Pigott, the current Fantasy Premier League champion and the first American to finish in the top spot. We chat with Jamie about how he managed what many feel is impossible and what he learned during the chaotic 2021/22 season. We also look ahead with Jamie and apply his tactics to the new FPL season, discussing our thoughts on Haaland, Salah, Kane vs Son, Big at the Back, and sticking to your guns with wildcard and chip strategy. Hail Cheaters!
Don't forget: Tickets are now available for Fest NYC, the inaugural Fantasy Football Fest in the United States. Join Josh and Brandon for an exclusive Premier League watch party with guests including Mark Sutherns and Gianni Buttice. We’ll have a live Always Cheating podcast recording, a Q&A with Mark, football quizzes, a kick-around on our venue’s indoor pitch, and so much more. Special thanks to sponsor FPL Gameweek.
