It's getting Wild at the end of the season, we talk through title chasers, cup fanciers and Monthly winners
In a DBL Gameweek for the ages, the correct answer was Steve. Or Stephen. Or Steven but definitely not Salah.
Cupsets galore, the NCNC proves to be magical, Foden irresistible, Saka and Haaland very missable and Palmer left a few feeling miserable
As another week closes, a villain becomes a hero, a villain sat on the bench and a legend fisked the fixtures better than the rest. A few will be (c)upset by this episode.
The good news? Almost everyone gets a name check...the bad news, almost everyone got a name check in the worst of all weeks
The NCNC cup begins Week 30, for some. Listen to find out if you (unfortunately) made the first draw or if you got a bye to the next round.
Like the coffee shop scene between McCauley and Hanna (Heat) we have a very special pod covering week 28, back when we could expect points from players. I, for one, cannot wait to relieve the good old days of early March
There were half a dozen reasons for Gameweek 26 to be remembered. We review one brother who is gaining, one cousin who is flailing and the rules for the cup need explaining!
The good news? Liverpool's injured assets couldn't let us down our fantasy teams. Tough transfer decisions needed to be made with Hindsight FC being the winner. Who predicted the future and who is stuck in the past? We review another month with late late drama.
Well that was a week. Was it twice as good or double trouble? We review the winners and losers of Gameweek 25
Pens down. After days, weeks or no planning, the first double gameweek is here. Before it gets underway, we reminisce on week 24 that started with a leak and end a hot streak. We bring back better be lucky than good for someone in the "mou'd" for points
In a record setting week in FPL, we set the record straight. So much hurt, a less than wild card and a centurion puts down a marker for the month
A manager stormed to the big win in the short month in a pod with so much hurt, couldn't-hit-a-barn-Darwin barely got a mention!
The wait is over, you can stop refreshing, NCNC is back. We relieve the longest week in the history of gameweeks. Two cash prizes are all but sewn up while the title race is far from decided. Atrocious is harsh but never let the truth get in the way of a good title.
Which manager suckled on the teats of success and who felt like a tit? Areola is sensitive around these parts. A fun pod almost guaranteed to increase the listener count by 1, at least for this week, covers an epic MOTM and a mini wildcard that went very wrong.
As the weeks fizz by we see who is going flat, who is bubbling to the top and who's weeks were sweet. Two household names slug it out in a Pepsi taste test of a weekly award
Swift(ly) on to another gameweek but before we shake the last one off, we break down week 14 and see which Manager is knock, knock, knocking on Heavens door.
Only one podcaster, luckily the one you want to listen to, as the show must go on before the games start to come in Thick and Fast.
A tough week is recapped with a controversial manager of the week but an undisputed pick
We take a look at who is balancing the books, with Mr. Moneybags and who is going broke. This pod gives a key insight to the thinking of an award winning NCNC great
A pig's ear of a week 11 is rounded up along with the previously high scoring 10. We discuss which melons benched their top scorers, who had the charcuterie of a team and who is wafer thin. Plus NCNC is saved my the MOTM.
We see what's going Brown at the top of the table whilst covering the Wild world of Gameweek 9, a week where few were hurt but only a couple grabbed the Mic and let their voices be heard
A pod for the Salah and Son (c)'s to bask and relieve a "great" week while several unfortunate managers inch towards the traded MOTM.
We get a lesser spotted century and a controversial late arrival.
Wham! While some of us are sleeping at the bottom of the table, others are going up and down like a yo-yo. October saw a battle for the ages for MOTM. Founding fathers faced off with fresh new faces, who is going to get that high?...oh and Olly gets ignored despite the biggest haul of the season.
...points where all around. Its a tale of Toons, Tom's and to many bad decisions to mention. Plus we set the table for a tight MOTD
You may not want to relive gameweek 5 but we have a special treat on the pod as we discuss which players had their swan song and who grabbed the Mic
The league was tighter than a Garnacho offside but wildcards, wilder picks and some plain Rice shake the league up in week 4.
Week 3 pod and we cover the rise of Sterling, cash payouts and those who went broke (sic).
Week 2 is thankfully over and we can all look forward...to the end of the season. MysticMe and NostraThomas attempt to tell you, where you will finish this season with the usual categories including Champ league chasers and up for the cup. All complaints should be aimed at the league table!
Don't listen and drive.
A tech error on the last release, have fun with a MUCH better pod featuring the historian and a proper recap of 2022/23 to get you in the mood for 23/24 (tinker, tinker, tinker).
Who got the squad to match the work put into the team name? How to spend 6.5 mio? Can we go without Salah? One man has all the answers and Nicks a lead in week 1.
In keeping with the season that was, this episode is late, patched together and not my best...But the winners get there deserved time in the son (if not their prizes)
At the end of a long season, there are so many talking points to be covered and many all important end of season ranks to be decided today. This super mini pod is however just a quick note out of respect for those that really have it all to play for. Good luck gents.
A bumper episode covering two gameweeks. Cast your mind back to a week where all eyes were on the south coast to see if March could march in March.
The next gameweek ensured we asked the question, when is a tie not a tie?
In a week of doubles creating poor choices, with Darwin selected, naturally, a few managers survived, a few struggled and a select few thrived. We revisit week 25 and discuss some OG's of NCNC.
A midweek pod, before a media lockdown, that covers triple captainers, 100 pointers, shed a tear for the transfer errors and uncover the worst of benches
Times up, pens down. Did you do the KDB/Bruno hockey cokey? Have you disrespected Hattrick Haaland with a triple captain from another part of Manchester? While we wait for a long week to see what was obviously the right Double Gameweek decision, why not pass a few minutes by remembering the previous, simpler weeks 20 and 21.
After unlimited transfers in week 17, we review how obviously similar the teams in NCNC are…while at the same time shining a light on the few managers who are Kaneing it and those needing a very specific result tonight.
To set up for the reboot, we look at the good, the bad and the ugly of the season so far. Some preseason predictions are finally revealed, which should provide some additional motivation for many.
As the league heats up we prepare you for an upcoming, much-needed mammoth pod (later this week?!) with a short sharp pod. The reliable podcaster gets through the talking points of a high-scoring week 9.
A one-man pod (not the one you want, sorry) for the quick turnaround. The big questions are answered: Who is the manager of the month? Who's captain didn't dodge all the points? Which manager almost definitely points dodges for clicks?
The Champ and the Commissioner reunite for the "eagerly" anticipated first pod of the new season. We cover early celebrations, post-tinkering blues and a couple of trollers gain the attention they so obviously seek.
Recorded at the end of last season and released at the start of another, we revisit the 2021/22 season to discuss the winners and er winners of the year that was. Were you correctly prejudged? Will you prove the team wrong in 2023?
We put November to bed and give a disproportionate amount of attention to the wrong end of the table. Dennis proves to be a menace, Mason's points mount and a man not named Salah wears the armband well for a hipster manager.
A rapid pod to cover GW13 where Arsenal wing-backs came to the fore, Son and Kane got lost in the snow and the manager of the month award comes down to the wire
A much-needed pod as we throwback to October in a disjointed, mishmash of a pod. We touch on the past and focus on the present. This episode includes century scores, wasted wildcards, consistent hurt and tips from an NCNC legend.
A barely mentioned manager gets more time than he wants, a rookie gets all he deserves and a veteran gets a monthly dose of pain, just.
We look back at a week where benches came to the rescue, differentials delivered and captains led from the front. There is finally some love for a rookie manager, we also look through the first month in detail and at the request of the listener, name the preseason predictions and pat ourselves on the back, sort of.
A pod that somehow barely mentioned CR7. Not a single Siuuu was given, as we wade through wildcards, grudgingly respect a differential and mispronounce multiple names
Transfer woes, bench keepers and dodgy captains picks feature in hurt of the week, followed by a quick catch up with a guest who didn’t have any of those issues last season. There's Antonio appreciation and even time for a little rant.
We make a Dash through week 2 and see if any managers didn’t captain Salah or Bruno.
There's also a fairly rude introduction to a new member of the league in hurt of the week.
Today's meze of a pod has all the usual favorites. For those new to NCNC, we cover the best selections, most well-constructed team's and the managers whose decisions left a taste in the mouth like cheap ouzo.
The first pod of the almost season has some celebrity tips and your hipster picks to aid the search for this year's Dallas, Lord Lundstrum or, erm, Pukki?
The team whistle through 3 game weeks, covering doubles, blanks and regulars. We are on zombie alert as we discuss a dead team that are very much alive.
Revaltions galore. Someone has been lobbying André for a warm humble dedication. We have the ballad of Lucas Maura and Tom reveals who is in fact, a bad dad.
If only NCNC opened the batting for England. Tons galore. This week the team discuss some legends and some gaudy scores.
A man down, a rising star and a frantic month-end. The boys put themselves to the task like any team would when they go down a man, covering more ground than you would think possible including the upcoming NCNC Cup and the reappearance of differential the week.
Three the easy way. This week a shout-out to little brother, a truckload of hurt and we review marvel's latest antihero - Differentiator Man aka Corkie.
Hmm. Creativity is not my strength. Regardless, it is a duet for you this week. André and Tom running wild and free through GW19 and 20. A couple rising stars get well earned spotlights and we finally consign January to the history books.
Anyone for a game of Boggle while we bogle? What even is a Bogle?! How do you pronounce Guaita or croissant for that matter? All will be revealed listener.
The world turns and so too did the league scores if only for one brief week. Back covering three game weeks, we find out who had Saka before he was cool, who went for a strikerless system, and who was better to be lucky than good.
Back on the same call at the same time, we take a look back over the last two games weeks to welcome a couple of centurions into the club. Records are there to be broken and May we all get awarded! Lots to look at including the four managers riding their sleigh into the festive schedule with a full assortment of chips as well as the emotional turmoil of the the little Egyptian.
A semblance of order restored. Big scores from big scorers. Something warm and familiar about it all. A simpler time. A slightly disjointed pod but we have A sports channel voiceover voice Battle of the Hosts (not including Tom who is so far ahead we can hardly see him) as Jeff heads above Andre for the first time in history!
It was bound to happen sooner or later. We managed to turn the pod into a backslapping event. However, it is not all-out us. We make ample time to dish out hurt to a couple other managers and even the newly-dubbed, Mr Not-November!
Tom takes the big chair for this international break special. Its time to look back at the preseason predictions and which managers were fuelled by our pessimism. Also an in-depth look at the rivalry consuming Andre's season.
Mr October strikes again! Time to crown another MOTM. We cast our eye over a rollercoaster couple of game weeks. The message we all learnt is that you should not fly too close to the sun just like Icarito famously did.
Its a patchwork of a pod this time. Many delays and rescheduled zoom calls ultimately meant we could not record together. That does not mean we have cut corners - from the Bam-trick to the wildcard treats, we cover it all from GW5 and GW6.
Remember when the circus came to town? The improbable, the spectacular, the disturbing. The stars of this big top were GW3 and GW4. We also make time to offer our thoughts on the big debate - do bench points matter?
The second part of the preseason predictions. We continue to sort through the managers from former champs to cup contenders and of course, lots of Tom's.
GW1 and 2 in the bag - we take a look over the good, the bad, and the ugly of the first two game weeks.
A new season and lots of new challenges. Season 2 of the NCNC pod starts as it should with the first part of our preseason predictions.
The lost tapes from the inaugural season of the NCNC podcast. Big thanks to all of you for listening and supporting this pod.
Once again we explore just how great football is through the drama of the final day of the season. And just think how great you would be if you hadn’t tinkered.
Ever wonder what it’s like to be a virtual Sammy Lee? Join us on a journey down memory lane to find out where it all started for one manager. We review the cup semi finals and the race for MOTM approaches the final bend.
The 16th seed rolls on into the semi finals of the NCNC Cup to face the moneyball team. We also look back at a big week for late goals and a man called David.
This week we turn our attention to the vast, empty wilderness of the league - where nothing grows and nothing dies - mid table. Plus we give one manager reason to party hard.
The greatest hurt ever captured on amateur audio. A modern classic. Sit back and enjoy.
Joined by Tom this week to review a high scoring game week. As term draws to a close, we start to review preseason predictions and dish out some slightly harsh grades.
The century club welcomes another member. It’s MOTM time again and a saint goes marching past the end of the pod.
You’ll want to give this episode a listen. Never before seen two century scores battle for top of the GW. Walk into the commissioners office for some serious hurt. Alone on the bench with Button, might be a new feature coming soon.
Chips Ahoy! Back in the swing of NCNC. Some are up, some missed opportunities and a couple never stood a chance. Nothing matters because we are all living in a Freddie wonderland.
The plus weeks are finally here. A (new) normal service resumes as we take a quick look around the NCNC league ahead of the return.
Spotlight on ToTW from GW27, 28 and 29. We look back over the highs and luck Of the last few weeks including a slightly controversial award.
We focus on two awards as we assess the damage and try to find hope in the last three game weeks.
GW26 saw lots of value squandered on benches... but not at NCNC Pod HQ. We subbed off the Commish and brought in the ultimate differential.
We swerve the wagons this week and cast an eye over the another bag of chips. Look out for a cupdate and did our commissioner really send for a rival?
Strap in for a Special Cup edition. Fittingly for a double game week, we have played our triple captain and brought in a special guest host to bag some extra points. Plus the January MOTM sheds some light on tactics and his bandwagon stubbornness.
While one podcaster is at the seaside, we discuss fishy scores and dodgy chips. Keepers get much love as we reminisce unprofessionally about gameweek 23, before the pressure of the cup began
Extended episode this week. The cup draw is finally here. Plus we look back over a ‘stinkfest’ of a game week.
The rookies are chipping away but which one can last the distance? We look over GW21 when it was definitely better to be lucky than good.
We discuss a pivotal week in the season and gain insight into the motivation for the manager of the month.
The game-weeks come thick and fast over the holidays. We pick apart the bones of GW18 from the land down under (partly).
Another bumper episode looking back over the GW16 and GW17 highlights and lowlights. The local crowd lend their support to a legend of NCNC as the veterans start their march up the table to challenge the new kid on the block.
It has been a while but we are back! Amidst the Christmas party "celebrations", we catch up on weeks gone by. An award and interview with out Manager of The Month for November, early bandwagons, and some missed opportunities.
GW13 in review. We look back on a high scoring week, visit the crowded Vardy bus and wonder why the stragglers at the Pukki Party refuse to leave.
We look back over GW12 as the league takes yet another pause for the internationals. Big scores and even bigger hits.
Strap in for another bumper episode! This week a trip down memory lane - we are joined by a very special guest looking back at the NCNC early days. A monster week of scoring means it's Gotta Hurt even more but as always it is Better To Be Lucky Than Good.
Special bumper episode covering GW9 and GW10. We take a look back on a couple of brutal game weeks to try and reassure ourselves that this is still an elite league. Plus we have a special guest collecting his long awaited award for MOTM.
The interlull is here. We reflect on a busy week in the markets for NCNC managers, a massive leap for one manager and we are joined by the Manager of the Month for a look back on a successful September.
A first birthday to celebrate, the Manager of the Month for September finally announced, and the streak continues for one unlucky manager. Apologies in advance for the poor sound quality, we are working on fixing this for the next episode.
The leagues lowest ranked team showing everyone else how it's done. Whats happening to wildcards? And an interview with the August Manager of the Month.
Chips, chips, chips galore. Hipster picks, swinging for the fences and the first Manager of the Month.
Wildcards, a new leader and the first what promises to be a long battle for Tokenhouse supremacy!
I guess this is now a thing. Early season promise rapidly fading for some. Weekly update on the NCNC League.
New season, new format. Preseasons predictions and the single season all time top scorer.
