FPL Feens: Recent Episodes
Jack Moloney & John Durcan
And so our First Season podcasting comes to an End..
The Seasons not over yet but our boy KDB has knocked the wind out of our Sails, or John is Sailing off to Greece, you decide.
With 2 gameweeks left, teams are still doubling and teams are still blanking (ehem Man United ehem) Spurs are firing, Arsenal are tiring and the Villa boys are enticing.
We wrap it up with a bit of fun; Shoutouts, Season highlights and of course Celtic... I mean Captaincy!
Thanks for the support all year folks!
This week we skim over the Gameweek review and Champo league to get stuck into what is the Biggest Double Gameweek of the year.
Eyes are turning toward Son, if you are unfortunate enough like us, to still not own him. However he faces a tricky double including Liverpool, whos title race with Man City continues. Man City return from their Champo league disappointment to a lovely double of Wolves and Newcastle. Chelsea also have a saucy double, but continue to be a let down having lost to Everton, one player in particular..
The Feens Summer Cup has reached the knockout stages like all premium competitions at this stage of the year. The quarter-finalists are run through in their fixtures.
As always Captaincy gets a mention and as always Shares are much appreciated.
SUAF
After a brief hiatus, we are back to finish the season strong!
In this episode we discuss plans on how to "Stop the Rot", with assets like Reece James and Broja proving fairly useless. We discuss Reece James replacements despite his upcoming double.
The Man City boys are catching eyes with their recent performances, both in the league and Europe. Trying to nail the right attacker is the never ending discussion. Jesus, it never ends
Captaincy is an interesting debate as Salah returns to form, but faces an in form Newcastle, whilst the Spurs duo of Son/Kane host a distracted Leicester. However, Spurs have returned to being Spurs.
The Feens End of Szn Summer Cup approaches the last 16, with some heavy hitters already suffering defeat.
Like and Share the Pod if ye can. Enjoy folks!
With Trent and Mo not in the drivers seat this week and Chelsea not turning up, both Feens had a week to forget. However Jack still finds himself in the Top 50 in the World and John looks to bounce back from CoViD.
This week we focus on Spurs and their big returns, start considering how to get on Man city and also weigh up some of the future Doublers, with DGW36 confirmed and DGW33 fast approaching.
Captaincy in the Gameweek ahead is also discussed, as the big hitters face off in Man City V Liverpool, leaving the door open to go different, or the front runner is the Kane/Son duo.
Good to be back, let us know what you think on the socials and Pass the Pod!

Gameweek 29 was another good one for Jack as he moves to number 1 spot in Ireland. The lads discuss his successful bench boost and John's unfortunate triple captain.
The feens also look ahead to blank game week 30 and discuss how many are needed to cover this week, There is also discussion about the upcoming doubles in 31 & 33. Gluck!
Gameweek 28 was yet another week of doubles with plenty of points to be had. Jack popped his wildcard which helped him move to 2nd in Ireland and into the top 50 overall. The Feens discuss his picks which luckily involved a last minute captaincy shout on Reece James.

There's John's Triple captain choice, Jack's bench boost and everything else. Gluckk!
The two Feens pulled the trigger on the free hit this week but unfortunately the results were pretty underwhelming. With blanks all round for Burnley as well as the city boys faltering it was only due to Kane and Son that the free hit wasn’t a complete failure.
We start this week with John’s tribute to Marcelo Bielsa who sadly managed his last game for Leeds this week. John talks us through the amazing ride of the last few years with El Loco at the helm.
After that we review the gameweek and look ahead to more doubles to come this week and next while trying to plan for the blank in gameweek 30. With that in mind, the wildcard is a possibility for Jack and we both discuss his potential draft. There's also captaincy chat, future feens and everything else. Gluuck!
With two of the nicest fixtures possible in DGW26 Mo did what Mo does, deliver points, with 28 big ones. One feen enjoyed this a bit more than the other as Jack pulled the triple captain trigger on the Egyptian king.
With more doubles announced just before the deadline, John decided to wildcard instead which sets him up nicely for the upcoming doubles as well as the blank gameweek in 30. He talks through some of his wildcard shouts.
After reviewing what was a mad gameweek, we look ahead to gameweek 27 where the free hit is on the menu for many. We focus on the options from Man City in detail as well Burnley, Man Utd, Spurs & others. Enjoy!
The double gameweeks keep on coming with the biggest double so far this year in GW26. We take a look back on DGW25 where a late Bruno goal saved the day.
Gameweek 26 looks like a prime opportunity to use the Triple Captain Chip with Liverpool at home to Norwich and Leeds. We discuss Jack's dilemma as he has to choose between that and a Bench boost with a strong 15 going into this week.
We also have a look at some of the stand out picks in the double apart from Liverpool, with the likes of Arsenal, Spurs and Wolves also playing twice. Enjoy and gluck!
Gameweek 23 will go down as the longest in history but we are looking past that on this weeks pod to the upcoming double announced for GW26.

Captaincy is a big call this week and we run through all the potential options worthy of the band.

Double Gameweek 22 ended up looking more like of a single gameweek in the end with multiple fixtures postponements yet again.
Both Feens hit double digit hauls with their Salah replacements with John going for KDB and Jack bringing in Bruno. We look back on the week and the discuss the teams and players to target going forward. We discuss Man City assets in detail as their great from along with their upcoming fixture run means they are a team to hop on.
Aston Villa are another team to target with the likelihood of a double in the coming weeks along with their decent form since Gerrard taking over. We look at their assets in detail as Jack looks to renew his relationship with Luca "FPL Feen" Digne.
We also chat about our captaincy choices, Future Feens along with everything else. Nice swaaan!
After the madness of Christmas schedule with gameweeks every couple of days, GW21 looked like it was a welcome breather.

We have a look at all the potential options for each of the teams doubling in the upcoming gameweek. We both put together our own free hit teams were we to hit the button this week.

In Gameweek 19 the big hitters rewarded Free Hitters with the likes of Arsenal, Spurs and Man City assets hauling. Gameweek 20 proved a more bumpy road, with the first ever Zero pointer from King Mo. We discuss this blank and his replacement options with AFCON looming.

With Man City and Man United both getting victories and facing into easy fixtures, we discuss their FPL Assets. In City, there is a new Silva in town with Bernardo hauling regularily and playing unbelievably well. Other strong options are Gundogan and Foden.
In Red, Rangnick has taken over and Ronny might be the main man. The defence could be an option going forward.
Further afield, West Ham have caused another upset beating London rivals Chelsea, with Bowen particularily impressive, with Mason Mount an honourable FPL mention in that game.
Spurs get a win led by Son, Bamford is back but so is Covid and Red Flags are flooding in.
We provide a Cup update as the group stages come to a close with some tight battles to take the 3 points and Jack hits triple figures in his Overall rank.
Two gameweek's in quick succession came around and Liverpool dominated both the League and FPL points. Salah continues ripping defences apart and raking in the points, but he has a new sidekick by the name of Jota.
Chelsea have hit a bump in the road with a draw against United following a moment to forget for Jorginho and a narrow escape against the might Dennis the Menace and his watford boys.
Spurs continue being Spurs and not living up to expectation and Antonio likewise, so we delve deep into Strikers and which ones should be in our out.
CR7 Shone bright in the final fixture and will be on lots of peoples minds, but its the other team in Manchester that has the attention o f the FPL feens, with their favourable fixtures.
The Xmas Cup ties are underway and movements in the league are discussed.
Share and Follow Feens.
This week we discuss what was an eventful gameweek to start. There was goals galore in the 3pm kick offs last Saturday but the headline story came at Vicarage road after Watford and Dennis the menace put the final nail in the Coffin of Ole's tenure at Man United, with a 4-1 thrashing.
Later that evening, Liverpool brought Arsenal back down to earth by whipping them 4 nil, whilst Chelsea impressively dismantled Leicester in the early kick off.
On Sunday, Man City took another comprehensive win with clean sheet against Everton, whilst a depleted Leeds eventually fell victim to the Conte impact in London.
Big at the back is proving worthwhile so we discuss Chelsea's full backs and other defenders. Jota is the stand out midfield option and up front we discuss budget options mostly, perhaps in the place of the old reliable Antonio who is fading.
Further details of the FPL Feens Xmas Cup are included so make sure to listen and join in on the bants.
With another international break, it’s been a while since GW11 took place, but all was not forgotten.
Cancelo stung John for benching with 14 points and Jack continued rising high with 68 big ones. Managers have come and gone. The Hammers got the better of Liverpool and strikers across the board continued firing blanks.
This week we launch the Brand new FPL Feens Xmas Cup. All details in the pod and will be up on our socials. League code; 8ooh7w.
This Week we talk hot properties such as Crystal Palace, Newcastle (or maybe just Calum Wilson) and of course the Spurs Boys. As well as featuring the usual transfer ideas, future feens and Captaincy picks. Enjoy and pass the Pod.
It was opposite fortunes for the Feens in Gameweek 10 with Postman Raul delivering Jack to the top 10k while it was one to forget for John. We look back on a week where the Chelsea wing backs continued their crazy run of hauls.
Antonio Conte was waiting in the wings to take over the job of loser of the Spurs and United game and as we have seen many many times, Ole is a hard man to beat when his back is against the wall. We discuss Conte's arrival at Spurs and the impact it could have on last year's most formidable FPL double act.
A record number of 4.6 million FPL managers captained Salah last week. While we don't recommend betting against Mo in this form, we throw out some other potential captaincy candidates for those wanting to risk it all to make up the ground.
We also run through our future feens, fixture predictions along with everything else. Enjoy!
While the two Feens were out dancing to the jazz this weekend, Mo Salah was dancing around the Man United defense for a massive 24 points. It was a monster week all around with the Chelsea boys putting Norwich to the sword along with Man City dispatching a Duffyless Brighton. We review the week in which both Feens managed big scores.
With the form Mo is in currently we discuss if he is a perma-captain, regardless of the fixture. With this in mind we also discuss if it means spreading the funds around your squad with captaincy not being much of a debate at the minute.
There is also our future feens, fixture predictions along with everything else. Enjoy.
With a whole host of players missing out this week, most needed their bench to dig them out for points. We look back on what was a tough week to navigate through and what it means going forward.
The captaincy shout is a tough shout as usual. Even with Rom at home to Norwich, can we possibly overlook the Egyptian King playing a Man United Team that shipped four to Leicester?
We also discuss some of the topic suggestions we got on Instagram including if we think Ole's time at the wheel is up.
Don't forget to follow the podcast on Spotify as well as on Instagram and Twitter. Enjoy!
Another International Break is behind us which means its time get back to FPLing again. Gameweek 7 was one to forget but luckily for Jack he smacked the wildcard button just in time to rid himself of his Man United deadwood. We talk through his wildcard picks and review the week.
We also have a look at some options that have popped up for those on a Gameweek 8 wildcard. With City in their usual form we wonder if its time take a seat at the Pep roulette table. We talk through their assets and if the risk is worth the reward.
Its good to be baaaack.
Ronaldo's blank in the early kick off was a sign of things to come in a fairly low scoring gameweek. We look back on a pretty average week where big scores were hard to come by.
Jack has popped the wildcard but is considering hanging up the FPL boots after an embarrassing loss in a head to head league. We discuss if the three premium strategy is the way to go or if it would be better to spread the funds across the rest of his team.
The captaincy looks to be a choice between the two premium strikers this week. We dive into the Ron vs Rom debate which is pretty much a coin flip.
We also discuss our Future Feens, fixture predictions and everything else. Enjoy!
The first wildcard cherry of the season has been popped! We run through John's wildcard picks which helped to boost him up the ranks this week.
We review the Gameweek 5 in which benches were stretched due to Trent's illness along with the usual bit of Pep roulette. We also preview the captaincy this week which is looking like a tough call between two of the big hitters.
Last week took a look at some midfield budget enablers to help you fit in the three big premium options. This week we take a look at the bargain forward options.
There's also our Future Feens, fixture predictions and everything else. Enjoy!
The Feens backed Ronny and Ronny delivered. We discuss the king's return, his effect on Bruno and Jack's less than ideal set up for watching the game.
We look at the strategy of going with 3 premium options over 2 and dive into the cheaper options that enable fitting in the big boys.
We discuss what to do with Antonio and his potential replacements along with everything else. Enjoy!
In the 12 years since Cristiano Ronaldo last played a game for Man Utd, the various players who have worn the number seven shirt have combined for a total of 24 league goals. In that time, Ronaldo has scored 392.
We discuss the impact of this move and how it shakes things up in FPL. We look at the option of a GW4 wildcard, putting together some potential drafts for those considering hitting the button this week.
We also take a look at some other deadline day transfers, review GW3 and discuss captaincy options for the week ahead. Enjoy!
The Monday night of Gameweek 2 had one Feen tumbling down the leaderboard while the other Feen was dancing around his living room.
We review the week and discuss a certain striker who made a very "dominant" start in his debut against Arsenal.
With both of us having two free transfers this week, we debate on who we think are the best options to bring in and who we think needs to be kicked to the curb.
We will be back with Episode 4 after the international break. Enjoy!
In episode 2 the Feens review Gameweek 1 in which we both managed to reach the 100 point mark.
We discuss players who caught our eye in the first week, teams we are looking to target as well as captaincy and other topics.
We have also started a league, the code to join is fe8zj9.

What's the story? Welcome to FPL Feens hosted by two Cork Feens with a semi unhealthy obsession with Fantasy Premier League.
In this first episode we introduce ourselves and give a quick run down of our learnings from last year's season. In the main, we discuss the players we hope will rake in the points this year.
We definitely don't claim to the best at FPL which will become more apparent as the year goes on. This is mainly for a laugh and hopefully we can give the odd decent pick to anyone looking to scale their work/friends leagues.
This episode is a bit longer than we are aiming for which is around 30 minutes an episode. There is just a lot to cover Gameweek 1 with every position up for grabs..
Hope you enjoy the first episode, any feedback would be appreciated and don't be afraid to share it if you do enjoy it. Sound!
