About the pod

Banter included.
Tips extra.

38wks2go is a Fantasy Premier League podcast. Every gameweek we go through the table, roast the transfers, and hand over the real FPL tips we actually use. Banter up front, tips underneath.

The name? A Premier League season is exactly 38 gameweeks. We count down, not up. Every episode is numbered by how many weeks are left: GW1 is 38 to go, GW38 is 1 to go. When it hits zero, we start again.

New here? Start with the intro for who I am and what this is, then the FPL primer for how the whole game works.
