BGW31: Do We Use Our FTs Now or Save Them for May

·54 min·3 clips

“I'm sitting here with 10 guys and two frees.”

1. FML FPL frames BGW31 around the question of whether to use free transfers now or save them for May. 2. The hosts are two FPL players and podcasters, and their on-air decisions matter because they are talking through chips, captains, and transfers as active managers. 3. The episode's core question is whether short-term blank-gameweek points are worth more than flexibility for later double-gameweek planning. 4. They open by comparing cup tie-breaker names like “Escape from Tarkov,” “Inshallah Salah,” and “Omni Shambles.” 5. They spend time on the Game Week 31 fixture list, especially Fulham at home to Burnley as the obvious target. 6. They also discuss Spurs against Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa at home to West Ham, Newcastle at home to Sunderland, and Chelsea at Everton as less certain options. 7. The hosts repeatedly note that the blank gameweek is unusually messy because many teams are coming off European fixtures. 8. They argue that Fulham still look like the best clean-sheet target, even while saying Fulham defenders and attackers feel hard to trust. 9. They debate one-week defender punts, with Andersen, Robinson, and Kansa all named in the discussion. 10. They also talk through the idea of taking a minus four to field 11 players, then compare that move with rolling transfers for later chip weeks. 11. One host says he has “10 guys and two frees,” then later says he actually has “nine guys with no keeper.” 12. The bench-boost regret becomes a major theme, including a claim that a missed bench boost would have been “plus 16.” 13. They connect that regret to other FPL pain points, including a red card, a benching mistake, and a captaincy miss. 14. The hosts return several times to the idea that future flexibility matters more when double-gameweek structures are still unclear. 15. They discuss Game Week 35 planning, with one host arguing that extra free transfers then may be more useful than spending both now. 16. The chat also covers specific players such as Bruno Fernandes, Harry Wilson, Bowen, Anthony Gordon, and Munoz as examples in the transfer logic. 17. The tone is conversational and argumentative, with lots of interruptions, joking, and rapid switching between FPL strategy and side topics. 18. The format is a regular co-host panel with problem-solving, audience questions, and tangents like snacks and grocery treats. 19. Listeners who enjoy FPL planning, chip strategy, and host banter will get the most from this episode. 20. Listeners wanting a polished tactical preview with minimal digression may skip this one.
