The first of these is an irreverent take on weekly football stories where we cover topics such as non-league, EFL, the Premier League, WSL and much more. Our second show continues our Fantasy Premier League journey as initially documented in our podcast FPL Pod VS Tok, but is a more focused and streamlined show which follows the lads' journey as they continue to out-do each other in their mini-leagues and cup competitions. So welcome aboard for our two new shows! We cannot wait to get started! Hosted on Acast.

Will things change in game week 25? The chaps discuss goal-keeper choices, a West Ham revival and whether the Black Cats of Sunderland are largely fixture-proof when it comes to Fantasy Premier League. Matt's good fantasy football week continued in that he is now top of the Bridge Brothers' mini-est of mini-leagues, (you can find out how to compete against us below). He would have possibly beaten Nick's better score this week had he not benched Olivia Godfrey's 11 points. To refer to Oscar Wilde, the consistencies in life are: \"death, taxes and Matt leaving his better performing players on the bench.\" As ever, the game week deadlines for FPL and FWSL are included below, as well as the joining codes for our mini-leagues. Could you stop Matt winning their FWSL league? FWSL: Game Week 15: Saturday the 7th of February at 11:00. FKWAXX FPL: Game week 23: Friday the 6th of February at 18:30.
