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.
