1. FML FPL covers GW26 of Fantasy Premier League, with the conversation centered on illegal teams, double gameweeks, and Crystal Palace’s fixture run.
2. Walsh and Swalsh host the episode, and their FPL ranks, cup results, and player picks frame the discussion.
3. The episode asks what to do with chips, captaincy, and transfer plans as GW26 turns into a short turnaround to the next deadline.
4. Ray’s five-Manchester City squad becomes the first major topic, because it blocks free transfers and exposes a website-versus-app difference on free hitting.
5. The hosts explain that an illegal team means more than three players from one Premier League side, which traps the manager until a qualifying transfer window.
6. They describe the app as broken because it still showed Ray on a free hit for Gameweek 26 for several hours.
7. Chelsea versus Wolves gets a long, comic but serious treatment, with João Pedro’s two violent incidents and repeated talk of whether a red card should have followed.
8. The hosts repeatedly connect the incident to referee inconsistency, VAR replays, and the responsibility of the manager to protect players.
9. Cole Palmer’s open-play goal becomes a separate FPL point, with the hosts noting that some managers suddenly returned to captaining him.
10. The discussion on Palmer also covers his fitness, his 90-minute outing, and the view that his ceiling remains tied to whether Chelsea keep using him centrally.
11. VAR also comes up through the Tottenham-Liverpool chaos, where a goal is ruled out, a red card follows, and the hosts call the process hard to understand.
12. They react strongly to the idea of disallowing a goal for denial of a goalscoring opportunity when the ball is already rolling into the net.
13. Liverpool’s collapse after that incident is another theme, with the hosts saying the side becomes vulnerable as soon as one thing goes wrong.
14. Bruno Fernandes, Bryan Mbeumo, and Cunha are discussed as attacking FPL options after their recent performances.
15. The hosts like Cunha’s shooting volume but worry about his minutes, his substitutions, and his reliance on speculative attempts from distance.
16. Arsenal double-gameweek captaincy becomes the main planning debate, and Declan Rice is favored over Gabriel because of floor, assist potential, and set-piece involvement.
17. The hosts reject triple-captaining Gabriel because center-back goals are too hard to predict and Brentford have been strong on set pieces.
18. Tone-wise, the episode is fast, reactive, and argument-heavy, with frequent jokes about coding, chips, referees, and FPL luck.
19. Listeners who play Fantasy Premier League and want chip and captaincy opinions will get the most from this episode.
20. Listeners looking for a calm tactical breakdown or a non-FPL show may skip it.
