Wed, 26 Sep 2018 01:22:25 GMT

With West Ham holding Chelsea to a nil-nil draw, we wonder if they can repeat the feat against a struggling Man United this weekend? Bako (finally) gets some analysis right, and we also discuss whether the two 2-goal super-subs are viable differentials?

Fantasy Football Noise - S2 - GW5

Wed, 19 Sep 2018 23:00:00 GMT

Fantasy Football Noise - S2 - GW4 Review

Mon, 10 Sep 2018 00:03:16 GMT

With Mitch fresh back from his Italian adventure, we look back at GW4 and start to ponder the wildcard possibilities, and ask if it's too early to be saying: Mo Salah, or NO Salah?

Fantasy Football Noise - S2 - GW3

Wed, 29 Aug 2018 23:01:00 GMT

It's turkey time! Mitch and Jon both had a reality check this week, whilst Bako wins the week and revels in Cardiff's struggles. Due to technical problems during recording, sadly JB sounds like he's in a bucket, which we apologise for, but we've fixed the issue so all will be back to our usual glorious quality next time.

Football is back! With the first week of action concluded, we discuss the things we got right, wrong and indifferent, and look ahead to the coming weeks and the players who've caught our collective eye early on, but worryingly, it does seem as though Mitch & Bako have traded places this season . . .

Fantasy Football Noise - S2 - Pre-season special

Fri, 03 Aug 2018 14:54:51 GMT

We're back! Jon, Bako & Mitch are refreshed after the summer break, and ready for action once more. We put our heads together and decided that we richly deserved a second series, so here it is! We've listened to feedback and tweaked a couple of things, ditched a couple of things and added a few new things, so we hope you like it. It's still early days, but we each run through our fledgling teams and discuss what we like and dislike, and how we've arrived at our various decisions. Bring it on.

Fantasy Football Noise - GW37

Wed, 09 May 2018 15:18:39 GMT

Recorded in the immediate aftermath of Swansea's defeat to Southampton in the crucial 6-pointer at The Liberty, there is definitely a solemn feel to this episode at times. Nonetheless, you can laugh at how badly our chips have turned out so far, and there's a funny story to enjoy as well

In this week's show, Mitch is back! We conduct an autopsy on the less than spectacular double gameweek, we meet March's Manager Of The Month, AND we finally talk to our number one fan, Staresy - but are our suspicions that he set up and entered a new team with the wonderful name "Larry of Breast", (in honour of our translation of Laurent Depoitre from an earlier episode), under the pseudonym of William DeCosta, proven to be true???

With Mitch still away on holiday, Jon & Bako are left running the good ship FFN, and they manage just fine. We go over the events of GW33, and despite having talked about it for the past month, we still don't really know what to do for the imminent double gameweek . . .
