FPL Pod VS Tok

By: Matthew Homer
  • Summary

  • If there's one thing that the brothers Matt and Nick Homer like more than Fantasy Premier League, it's trying to out do each other with their respective FPL Teams. However, with both of them struggling to watch every Premier League game and scour the web for online stats and spreadsheets, they've taken to shaping their Teams by taking on the advice of different FPL content creators.

    Matt prefers to glean this FPL wisdom via different podcasts and Nick enjoys the no nonsense immediacy of Tik Tok for his inspiration. In keeping with their friendly sibling rivalry, they wanted to see whose team would do better based on the ways in which they consume FPL content, and so FPL: Pod VS Tok was born!

    Each week Matt and Nick will be talking about how their respective teams are doing as well as providing reviews of the content providers that are helping shape their tactics and transfers week by week. They'll do all this with their unique blend of brotherly teasing random musings and extracts of their journeys to different football grounds ranging from amateur to the Premier League stadiums!

    Matt and Nick can't wait for you to join us as they document their battle for brotherly supremacy through the medium of Fantasy Football!

    So until next time, keep it fun and keep it FPL!

    Jan 31 2025

    Hello there! It's episode 24 and, somewhat unusually, the lads go straight in and talk all things Premier League after a weekend that saw Robert Sanchez help Manchester City defeat their beloved Blues 3-1. Cue a bit of a discussion about Chelsea's other 7 goalkeepers and Kepa Arrizabalaga who is currently on loan to high flying Bournemouth.


    It's also another episode and another poor week for Team Pod. This leaves Matt considering a wildcard so that he can rip it all up and start again. Matt is also left to regret not listening to his podcast of the week ahead of game week 23 as the advice on Above Average FPL was pretty solid.


    Team Tok continue to fly high and the lads look ahead to game week 24 and discuss the triple captain and Assistant Manager chips respectively. Given recent results, this episode isn't pleasant listening for Dominic Solanke and his Tottenham teammates but, even then, Spurs are doing better than Matt and Team Pod!


    The chaps do go on their usual tangents but, this time, they are football related and include chat about the Chinese Super League and references to the recent downfall of Guangzhou F.C. This prompts them to wonder if they should migrate from BlueSky to RedNote when it comes to their use of social media.

    The deadline to make your transfers, tactical changes and captaincy decisions is Saturday the 1st of February at 11:00am.


    We are also hoping to finally have some music for the podcast next week so, until then, we have used some of the "best of clips" as well as some bloopers from our visits to Tooting and Mitcham. The final clip may make you think of The Minions. You'll know when you hear it!


    Anyway, until next time, remember, keep it fun and keep it F.P.L!


    Bye for now!

    We're at episode 23 and the show starts with Nick talking about his latest visit to the Mayfield Stadium to see AFC Croydon take on Eastbourne Town. And, finally, the lads have got their replica Rams shirts! See episode for more details.


    Matt and Nick finally talk FPL and, as ever, Team Tok continues to lead the way with poor Team Pod just not getting the luck, nor the points, this season. In particular, Matt regrets his Newcastle treble up and thinks that, maybe, his would have had more joy if he kept his Magpies quota to just Lewis Hall and Alexander Isak.


    Otherwise, the brothers talk about fixture proof AFC Bournemouth, why Nick doesn't like Everton (sorry Toffees fans), and can Leicester repeat their great escape from the 2014/2015 season and go onto win the league again the following year like they did 9 years ago? Unfortunately for the Foxes, we think not.


    Of course, Matt and Nick weave in and out of all things Premier League as they discuss the use of AI voice-overs in FPL content in relation to Nick's TikTok of the week. Speaking of which, we are relieved that our US listeners still have access to this platform so they can look at the videos which we discuss in this week's episode!


    Speaking of TikTok bans, the chaps are quite happy to avoid real-world events for the time being and seek solace in the world of sport. This is all despite some bloke from across the pond celebrating his first-day back in his old job!


    On a lighter note, we continue the FPL podcast love-in with another shout-out to the incredible Beyond the Sidelines pod. The BTS guys, (not the Korean boy-band), returned our enthusiastic discussion of their show with a mention in one of their latest episodes which we have linked above.


    Looking ahead to game week 23, the deadline for your transfers, tactics and captaincy decisions is January the 25th at 13:30pm and all the ways you can contact us, are included below...

  • Thnks Fr th Mmrs Game Week 21!
    Jan 17 2025

    It's episode 22 and with the lads not seeing a game last week, Nick talks about his visit to to see the I'm Not Ok exhibition, a celebration of Emo culture at London's Barbican.


    We then go from Fall Out Boys to Fall Out Moyes and talk all things FPL and as, fate would have it, our Premier League chat takes place with game week 21 well and truly in motion. Expect some "Gollette," or should that be Gillette Soccer Special style shouts as the goals go in for the likes of Chelsea, West Ham and Nottingham Forest.


    Speaking of Forest, the lads continue their plaudits for the Kiwi legend that is Chris Wood as he continues his fine run of form. We also talk Everton, Newcastle United and Manchester United as we reference game week 21 and look ahead to 22.


    Matt does all this by referencing his podcast of the week which is Beyond the Sidelines and subsequently regrets not taking on the advice of Corey, Pilot, KSR and Els when it comes to bringing in the Red Devils's very Ahmad Diallo.


    There is also a shout out for the AFC Wimbledon audio fanzine which is the 9YrsPodcast


    There are tangents aplenty in what is something of a lively episode and we finish, as ever, with the transfers, tactics and captaincy changes deadline. These details, as well as how you can get in touch with us, is included below...
