A Different Corner - a fantasy football podcast

Gameweek 38: Thanks for the memories FPL 23/24

Following the final FPL gameweek of the 23/24 season Dr Luman and Manish talk about what Jurgen Klopp's legacy will be (and what could have been), the one trait that both Pep and Fergie share, and how the top three FPL players this season are all English (does this bode well for the Euros?). The pair also look at the overall Fantasy Football winner and whether data beats the eye test.

Gameweek 37: Poznan-ing our FPL points

We go Spurs bashing in our post gameweek 37 pod! Dr Luman Ali and Manish discuss how Tottenham have broken Big Ange, whether Cole Palmer could be the new Egyptian King (you know what we mean) and who to invest in for the final weekend when so few teams have anything to play for. We also wonder whether Salah will still feature in teams next season and Manish admits to employing a dirty FPL tactic.

GW 35/36: FPL Wildcards work wonders

Gameweek 36 was yet another Fantasy Football points feast with both Dr Luman Ali and Manish's wildcards activated. They reflect back on great totals again, despite one not captaining Haaland, they laugh at Spurs and Man Utd respectively, heap praise on Michael Olise and consider a low-key super Chelsea asset. Then it's a look ahead to FPL gameweek 37 and which fixture gives Manish the heebie-jeebies!

GW 34: The worst 100 point week in FPL history!

Wow, did you feast on FPL points? How could you not! With so many players scoring so many points, somehow Dr Luman Ali manages to score the worst century in FPL history! He and Manish breakdown a monumental gameweek, which includes Mateta madness, scoreless Salah and ridiculous returns everywhere (except for Liverpool). We also look ahead at the weekend's fixtures and wonder whether you're better off avoiding a double gameweek team for the captain's armband.

GW 33:Oh, the heartache of FPL

Whilst the overall points of gameweek 33 in the FPL were excellent for both Dr Luman Ali and Manish, the pair are commiserating their real life teams' results at the weekend. We discuss whether we should put a fork in Man City's 4-peat pie (it's done!), Cole Palmer for Player of the Year and who the best finishers in the league are right now. We also look ahead to gameweek 34 in Fantasy Football; which the 'meh' double teams are, the difficulty in using a wildcard, and which players with just a single game might be best investing in.

GW 31/32: Upgrading to FPL biniz class

Lots to discuss after FPL gameweek's 31 and 32, from Dr Luman's exasperation at his beloved Liverpool's missed chances against Man Utd to a strange analogy which sees him hypothetically sat next to Hollywood bombshell Heather Graham! We also discuss how all Haaland owners have "royally messed up" this season and the differentials making a difference.

GW 30: A premature FPL knee slide

There are lots of questions left to answer in the title race but there are even more coming out of this FPL gameweek. What is Newcastle Utd? How does Man Utd's goal live such a charmed life? Is Eddie How the new Jose? Dr Luman and Manish discuss it all, though Luman does have an answer to whether Erling Haaland is a flat track bully!

GW 29: The FPL gameweek that echoes in eternity

It was the worst average gameweek score in FPL history! Even so, Dr Luman shows us why he's playing Moneyball! He and Manish dissect his astute Fulham signing, an obscure season for low scoring defenders and goalkeepers, and the opportunity in GW34 with 7 doubles!

GW 28: An FPL kick in the chest!

Groan! Gameweek 28 was awful (unless you're that guy who captained Son away at Villa!). In this episode Dr Luman and Manish chat through their season's lowest FPL scores, reminisce over Henry, question whether Haaland is a flat track bully and Luman points at the elephant in the room of how the title will be decided! The kingmakers are...

GW 26: We back to FPL baby!

Like those comedy skits that weirdly interjected Hip Hop records in the early 2000's, Dr Luman and Manish are finally back after a prolonged intermission to the podcast. They discuss Gameweek 26, where they talk West Ham's key man (not Bowen), Arsenal fans' "crappy analysis" and whether you're better off without Haaland!
