Welcome to episode 13 of FPL Pod VS Tok, where Matt and Nick provide their own unique spin when it comes to all things FPL.

This week's show features selected clips from AFC Croydon Athletic VS Herne Bay FC but, of course, the lads focus their efforts on the Premier League and provide reviews and analysis of their game weeks 9 and 10.

The FPL chat includes a celebration Nottingham Forest's talisman, (and future Ballon d'Or winner, surely), Chris Wood. Who would have thought that The Reds would be contenders for Champions League qualification? As Nick says: "Things are a little different this year." The lads also make the case for the defence of Manchester City's own golden boy Erling Haaland in the wake of, well by his very high standards, a poor run of form.

Recorded on Bonfire Night in the UK and Election Day in the United States, the conversation weaves and wanders around FPL chat, analysis and previews and into territory such as the divine beauty of David Ginola and Gabriel Batistuta as well as potential condiment based merchandise for Mo Salah in the tradition of the legendary Paul Newman. In tribute to the legend that is Chris Wood, we also ask whether we have any listeners committed enough to listen to New Zealand football matches in the early hours of Blighty Time! All will be explained in this episode, we promise!

Matt and Nick finish the pod by looking forward to AFC Wimbledon VS Grimsby (November 9th), Chelsea VS Manchester City in the WSL (November 16th) and AFC Wimbledon VS Accrington Stanley, "who are they?", on the 19th of November. All of which will get the FPL Pod VS Tok treatment as we capture some clips of our experiences from these match days for future episodes of the podcast.

So, "que Salah, Salah," and remember, keep it fun, and keep it FPL!

See you soon!

Welcome to the first edition of FPL Pod VS Tok: Free Hit. This shorter format sees Matt and Nick try and answer a question surrounding Fantasy Premier League, or football more widely, which they either pose themselves or glean from you the listeners.

This week the brothers have a run at a dilemma that was posed on an early edition of the BBC's Fantasy 606 podcast which was "does being a content creator change one's approach to playing FPL?" With Matt and Nick getting to grips with their newfound roles as content creators, they talk about whether this has had any influence on how they now play the game.

This new venture for the podcast doubles up as a celebration of the content creators who inspire our show each month and ultimately make playing FPL accessible and fun, whether you have been playing for years or are new to the game!

Speaking of which, the key info is included below...

Episode 12 sees Matt reeling from another tough game week and Nick acts as therapist as his older brother recounts what went wrong for him and Team Pod. Although there is still hope as he holds out for Eddie Nketiah to work some magic against Nottingham Forest. Spoiler, he doesn't!

With Matt feeling like Ted Lasso's AFC Richmond during their bad run of form and Nick feeling like prime era Alex Ferguson, the lads then talk tactics for game week 9! Despite eye brows being raised at his decision to remove his Arsenal defenders and goalkeeper last week, Nick's decision to do so is vindicated and he is relishing his best start to a season since playing FPL around 20 years ago! He has "never been more driven" to go onto to win the trophy.

There's chat about whether to triple captain Haaland as well as a left-field foray into discussions about Ancient Greek literature and the Romantic Poets. "FPL: Milton VS Keats" anyone? The highbrow arts chat is somewhat balanced out with Nick's references to the after effects of the madras he had for lunch! Listeners, you have been warned!

There are also extended clips of Matt, Nick and Dad's trip to the Mayfield Stadium to see AFC Croydon Athletic take on the frustrating Littlehampton Town. These extracts from our day can be found at the beginning of the pod and the 14th, 29th, 44th and 51st minutes. Around minute 45, listeners can hear the moment where a stray ball almost hits Matt whilst making these recordings! Maybe he should sit behind the goalkeeper for the next fixture to encourage the Rams to find the net.

Anyway, the key details for this game week, as well as ways to contact us can be found here...
