Summary

With this week's cancelation of Everton-Man City and the threat of more fixture postponements on the horizon, we start off this week's episode with a discussion of COVID-19's impact on the fantasy game—both our strategy in handling such uncertainty and the emotional toll of following the news. Have recent events caused us to alter our chip and transfer plans for GW18–19? Then, it's back to normality with GW17 chat (assuming there is one) and the fixture and captaincy dilemmas therein. We consider Leeds players—like Stuart Dallas—who are on the ascendency, as well as other budget options such as Aston Villa's Anwar El Ghazi and Arsenal's Bukayo Saka. Which bandwagons are worth jumping on? Plus, we take a moment to look ahead to 2021 and our hopes and expectations for the New Year. Hail Cheaters!

1:35.0	It looks like there's a good chance that's going to get canceled.
1:38.7	Instead of needlessly speculating about whether that's going to be canceled,
1:41.8	because it'll probably be known by the time this podcast is up or shortly thereafter. So let's just assume it doesn't happen. Okay. Let's just assume it doesn't happen.
