Simon (@analytic_fpl) brings on his buddy Dilksy (@dilksybab) for an impromptu chat about Fantasy Premier League (FPL). With no prep and pure vibes, they dive into the world of FPL analytics, discussing everything from team-building strategies to dealing with the mental game.

Dilksy shares his experiences collaborating on FPL teams, his approach to seeking out calculated risks, and how he manages the emotional rollercoaster of the game. The duo explores the impact of new FPL rules, the value of free transfers, and the art of balancing data-driven decisions with gut feelings.

This week on Expected Grass, Nima (@FPL_Nima) and Simon (@analytic_fpl) kick back to chat about FPL wilcarding 6. Nima's just hit the wildcard button and is mulling over his options, including whether to bring in Bruno Fernandes. Simon, meanwhile, drops a casual bombshell about potentially using his Free Hit in Gameweek 9.

The guys toss around ideas for team structure, weighing up pricey defenders against stacked midfields. They also touch on short-term punts versus playing the long game, and try to make sense of what's going on at Manchester United.

It's an hour of chill FPL chat, some laughs, and a reminder that in this game, you never really know what's going to happen next.

Welcome to Expected Grass, the FPL podcast where analytics meet vibes! Join hosts Nima (@FPL_Nima) and Simon (@analytic_fpl) as they navigate the treacherous waters of fantasy football, armed with nothing but their wits, a few free transfers, and an unhealthy obsession with price rises.

This week, our dynamic duo tackles the burning questions of Game Week 5: Is Ollie Watkins the new Haaland? Will Pedro ever return from his mysterious injury? And just how many Arsenal players does one need to feel complete?
