Summary

This season's opening weekend presented a wide range of fantasy outcomes, but some teams and players proved easier to predict than others. On this week's episode, the Cheaters discuss what stood out in GW1 and how it changes the calculus as we look ahead to GW2 and beyond. We also rate the plethora of midfielder options still vying for our attention and consider updating our goalkeeper strategies. Plus, we talk about impressive showings for Ben Chilwell and James Maddison, upcoming fixtures for Liverpool, a strong start for Newcastle, and Erling Haaland's eternal grip on the FPL captaincy. Hail Cheaters!

Hey, all cheaters. Welcome to the Always Cheating podcast. My name is Josh. I'm here with Brandon.

0:26.7

Brandon, how are you? Doing well, Josh, thanks. Yeah, nine-tenths of the way through Game Week 1.

0:36.9

And I would suggest that was a roller coaster of a weekend. I mean, to boot, to some drama to around the Game Week 1 deadline, which we might get into.

0:37.5

Oh, yeah.

0:38.2

So how are you feeling?

How are you feeling after this weekend?

0:40.4

I mean, it's a mixed bag as far as everyone's team goes.

0:44.4

But when you step back and look at it, all the popular picks returned, but nobody really went

0:50.4

off apart from everyone's favorite captain Erling Holland.

0:58.2

Beyond that, I'm feeling like chaos, but manageable chaos.

1:02.6
