The FPL Banger crew speak to UCL winner and Liverpool legend John Arne Riise about his career, from his early days at Monaco with Thierry Henry to that famous night in Istanbul with Liverpool, his trademark free kick strike against Man United and that time he recorded the highest ever haul for a defender in FPL, as well as his thoughts on who might replace Jurgen Klopp. And of course, we get some insider FPL info from John on the best Liverpool assets ahead of DGW34.John spoke to us in conjunction with the Battle of the Reds, a match featuring legends of Manchester United and Liverpool which will be held on April 27 2024 at the Kuala Lumpur Bukit Jalil National Stadium.

PS: Audio still a bit iffy this week - we'll sort it out before the next one.

Apologies for Siva's audio sounding questionable - will be fixed in time for next week.
We're back after a short hiatus where we totally didn't cry about KDB and Haaland ruining DGW25 and GW26. Time to talk chip strategy for GW29 and beyond, Free Hit or no, Spurs, Arsenal, Bournemouth, Hwang replacements and more

The boys are back to review the end of the 2020 summer transfer window. But before that, we discuss Man United’s humbling 6-1 loss to Spurs and whether it is finally time for #OleOut. We also talk soon to be 20/21 Premier League champions Everton, David Moyes and virtues of working from home, the Premier League teams which had the best and worst transfer windows, before finally selecting our all-time Premier League Transfer Flops XI after much debate. Controversial picks all around.Â

GW2 has come and gone and Sam really nailed it, having Harry Kane for all 4 of his assists. He now puts his previously “secret differential” plan to wildcard in GW3 into action – although news has leaked out and now every FPL manager seems to be on a wildcard. Siva, who could not have picked a worse time to transfer out Son Heung Min for Bruno Fernandes, joins Sam on the wildcard. With 2 weeks of data and eye tests, the lads consider the best options at every position and at every price bracket in a jam packed pod. Follow us on Twitter @FPL_Banger where we also make “deep dive” FPL Threads reviewing the previous Gameweeks
We wish to apologise for Sam's comments in EP. 2 where he compared JosĂ© Mourinho's "backwards" style of football to the movie Tenet. Following Spurs' 5-2 win over Southampton, it is only appropriate that Sam takes a temporary break from the pod while we investigate his comments.Â
Siva takes over as we discuss United's 3-1 defeat to Palace where a penalty save was cancelled for De Gea jumping off his line too early, and help out by suggesting rule changes to improve football.Â
Also, Leon gives his support to Lampard after Chelsea's 2-0 loss to Liverpool while openly flirting with Ancelotti and inspired by the signing of the season, (Branislav Ivanovic) the lads pick their 2010s Premier League Best XI with some surprising choices.
Fresh from the carnage that was GW1, Sam & Siva assess the damage (hint: 1 of them did not have Mo) and debate the big FPL issues before GW2: Keep Salah or swap to United assets, jumping on Everton and dumping Spurs assets, Essential Enablers from Leicester and Wolves, Budget Forwards, Recommended Transfers and Captaincy optionsÂ

The Banger Committee is back to give their bad football opinions on the opening weekend of Premier League action. We also begin the countdown to Mourinho's inevitable sacking, and inspired by the mass brawl between PSG and Marseille, we pick our Ultimate Fighting XI, with a surprising choice for manager.
The FPL spin-off to The Banger Committee Podcast. This episode, Siva and Sam bring you their comprehensive preview of the FPL 20/21 Season, with their thoughts on the best GKs, Defs Mids and Fwds. Plus what to do with United and City assets during their blank GW1 as well as captaincy picks for GW1. Follow us on Twitter @FPL_Banger (formerly @FPLDoctor)
The Banger Committee look back at the 19/20 Premier League season, put together our 19/20 Team of the Year, and look forward with our predictions for 20/21.
We also debate and answer the age old question of which manager is the least worst out of Ole, Arteta and Lampard.
Highlights include Chris predicting Sheffield United's impending relegation, Leon selecting Mateo Kovačić for his team of the year ahead of Bruno Fernandes, and Siva picking George Baldock over Trent?!
Bad football opinions all around
