It's unbelievable!

Welcome to Men in Blazers fantasy island pod special over the course of the next 30 minutes or so.

We are going to break down player by player team by team pretty well every individual that you need to pull onto your fantasy 11 to be able to dominate in the season ahead.

I love fantasy football even as much as I love football itself and as you know last year we started the Men in Blazers

Togger fantasy league you remember Togger we first met the GFOPs from that amazing Austin Texas based startup back in 2015 they are young they are hungry they are beautifully American

and they had an idea that truly lives and breathes football that we wanted to support we adore them for two reasons.

Number one did I mention they are American. Number two they have developed a Premier League fantasy game that really reflects the nuance and sensibility anyone who has played fantasy baseball would require in their football fantasy life.

One that reflects the fact that defenders much more line defenders yes they contribute as much to team players strikers

and so Togger developed a far more nuanced screwing system than your traditional old Premier League fantasy games.

This game Togger rewards players for the things we love passes crosses completed tackles one not just the goals assist and clean sheets of the basic game.

So last year we made the switch thousands of you came with us and we're not sorry last campaign over 11,000 GFOPs took part in our Togger perfect 11 fantasy league with glorious teams ranging from one flu over Lou Caccus nest.

I used to lie that joke to Chuck Blazer's cats I think there were 12 teams called Chuck Blazer's cats to be honest and that league it even started wars here in the crap port to say how chiefly between producers Lexi and Evan.

Let me just say Lexi takes no prisoners this year we're resuming the league yet again you can sign up on men in Blazers.com people.

We're going to have a ton of prizes some of them have the feeling of a punishment like having to actually come on our show but to kick off the league and celebrate all things fantasy football we welcome back to the pod by popular demand all over New York City they are being his name this week in the street only he can help you with your fantasy questions for the third year running a man whose mind operates in aerial jewels one effective clearances dispossession.

It's Togger's head of content their resident fantasy guru the one and only doctor fantasy on Twitter at fantasy gaffer welcome back to the pod Mr John Walling three years running John by popular acclaim you're the fantasy populist I love being able to say this to look you in the eye and say you John Walling you know you got a beautiful practical a pragmatic fantasy life that actually have used to the masses my fantasy life.

Generally revolves around pie wishing that I live the life depicted in John Hughes movies and ever to winning the Champions League but yours I mean you have kind of put yours up into the fantasy football Bible that you wrote the massive and wonderful Togger draft guide got to ask you how much time over the past month.

Have you devoted to getting your draft just right a hundred hours 150 hours it's it's a day yeah well yeah a week.

For weeks running give a take because I mean draft is the best day of the year so while you're sitting there trying to get your perfect eleven set up for week one you know and joining the men and blazers perfect eleven league you're also sitting there simultaneously doing your research for your you know eight ten twelve person mini draft league and ranking all your players or buy in the guy that you're

in the game and you know you're doing your best draft draft calm and looking at how I rank the players which is of questionable value.

Oh yeah you're doing yourself with the service I J. W. Pictures you when we're chatting about you he pictures you crunching numbers one of those old voices from the old kind of casino days with your for me no jersey on.
