Summary
This pre-season, we're trying something new at Always Cheating headquarters: We built a "data" model for FPL player picks. But what sets our model apart from the competition is we're weighing factors that have historically been uniquely important to our listeners—like, say, is a player fun to own in fantasy? In our first of three player preview episodes, we take a closer look at the top forward options and discuss where they each rank in terms of fantasy point floors and ceilings, injury and rotation risk, surrounding squad quality, and that all-important fun quotient. Stay tuned for our midfielder, defender, and goalkeeper previews coming in the next week. Hail Cheaters!

| 0:21.7 | Good. Nice to see you, Josh. I feel like it's been a while. Here we are back in the preseason saddle. And we're going to get down to it talking about forwards on this week's episode. And Josh, I feel like I have been falling all over Premier League's summer league matches this weekend. |

| 0:59.3 | Newcastle Brighton, correct? |
| 1:01.5 | Yes, exactly. |
| 1:02.6 | So we're going to see what Undav is all about on Friday. |

| 1:08.0 | So it's good to be back. |
| 1:09.5 | I wanted to, I had a personal, as you briefly mentioned in last week's pot, I unfortunately had a completely out of the blue family issue that took me away for about a week or so. And so it's very good to be back. Not ideal timing, perhaps, with the beginning of the season, but you can't always plan for these things. Can you |
| 1:27.6 | brighten? So that's, that's where we are. Didn't, uh, Keith Richards? Mick Jagger was the one singing. He said, you can't always get what you want, Josh. Keith might have written that, though. Most likely he did, he did actually write that. So, uh, yeah, but it's going to be back. And thanks so much today for going on |
| 1:45.0 | last week's podcast. I really appreciate him doing that. I really, I thought it was a very fun |
| 1:48.8 | conversation to you guys covered a lot of different topics on this pod. And so, so we've done a |
| 1:54.0 | couple of pods now. We've covered, you know, sort of general thoughts about fantasy, about |
