Two lads, Danny and Ryan, talking all things football and FPL—offering advice that might be genius or downright shocking! Danny’s a die-hard Spurs fan, using this podcast as free therapy (because, let’s be honest, supporting Spurs isn’t easy). Ryan? Well, he’s convinced the world’s out to get him, but that only fuels the banter. Originally from England, the boys now call sunny tropical Cairns home, where they coach junior and senior teams in the local football scene.

May 08, 2025

It's the run-in! Three games to go, no doubles, no blanks, just pure FPL joy and/or misery. Danny finally has to play his assistant manager and has some big decisions. Strangely, Ryan seems very relaxed. Let's finish strong...

Gameweek 26-27 - No-one can handle Wood, he's a giant!
Feb 24, 2025

It's fair to say Villa and Liverpool proved us wrong and Arsenal's bottlers let a lot of people down.

Feb 19, 2025

Danny's down on Villa, Ryan's down on Liverpool, are either of us right?! Every week we want Delap, how does he keep eluding us? And, dare we say, we're getting good at the dark horses and the clowns...
