In this episode, Nick returns to the starting line-up and hits the ground running as the brothers use this episode to review their respective team's performances in game weeks 4 and 5! With Matt chuckling away in the background, Nick goes "full Warnock" and runs the riot act over his charges and lets them know, in no uncertain terms, that they let him down. Other highlights include Matt's lament about leaving Dean Henderson on the bench for game week 5 and Nick Jackson, (he is for real), giving his FPL namesake manager a welcome boost and another strong performance for Team Tok!

All of this comes off the back of Matt and Nick welcoming new listeners to the pod after last week's promotion push, as well as a shout out to the established FPL content creators who have shared kind words about the show on Twitter, sorry, I mean X!

Despite his apparent sympathies to FPL players, Arne Slot and Liverpool are not spared in Nick's candid analysis of the Reds post Klopp. Manchester United are also in the firing line as the younger of the siblings talks about Chelsea's fixtures going forward.

We finish looking forward to game week 6 and our trip to AFC Wimbledon which, since the time of recording, has been called off due to flooding at the Cherry Red Records Stadium. Finally, the brothers leave with a tribute to Jermaine McGlashan after the coach left his role as manager at AFC Croydon Athletic.

One of the things about making a podcast regularly is that, sometimes, life gets in the way and in this episode Matt explains why Nick is taking a break this week.

He raises a toast to beautiful boy and loveable rogue Zappy and explains why FPL and football is important for one's wellbeing and mental health. Yes, it is just a game, but that's why it is so important!

He also references a powerful episode of the Welcome to Wrexham documentary which highlights the importance of the ritual of football and men's mental health and, in what has been a difficult week for the pod, provides updates on the FPL deadline as well as looking forward to Nick's return.

As always, if you do want to take on the brothers in their FPL mini-league, the code is: jeepsw

In this episode Matt, Nick, Dad and birthday boy Zappy return to the Mayfield to see the mighty AFC Croydon Athletic take on Beaconsfield Town in the FA Isuzu trophy. A few clips of their adventures are dotted throughout the pod including the journey to the stadium where the lads stumble across an allotment open day, featuring great food and music!

With regards to all things FPL, Matt reviews the 59th Minute pod from FPL General, which inspires the conversation as to whether the new rolling transfers rule is a blessing or a curse.

Nick provides some solid advice about using your wildcard and Matt uses the end of the pod to get his excuses in as to why he is currently behind in the Pod VS Tok battle!

As you'll hear, we finally got our Insta and X (Twitter) accounts up and running and, don't forget you can compete against Matt and Nick by joining their league via the code: jeepsw!
