The Bridge Brothers are back and with the World Cup fading in the rear view mirror, albeit that we are still in the throes of "Infantino Madness," Matt and Nick welcome listeners to season two of our esteemed podcasts. These being, of course, The Bridge Brothers Podcast and FPL Bridge Brothers.

And while we will leave it for our podcast introduction to give you the lowdown on both shows, it is important to highlight that you can compete against us in our FPL Bridge Brothers Mini-League via the following code…

We hope too that a new WSL Fantasy app will be available before we commence recording and, if so, we’ll both be playing this game too! However, in the event that the app does not materialise, we are definitely up for suggestions as to which other fantasy game we should play alongside FPL. So, please do get in touch with your suggestions!

But anyway, we look forward to our joining us for another rollercoaster season of fantasy football as well as our thoughts and reporting on the Chelsea men’s, women’s and academy teams.

Bye for now!

Work, the Podcast Show London and Matt's trip to Belgium were three of the reasons for this, (slightly), delayed season round up and World Cup preview!

After listing some of Chelsea's best Belgium players over the years, the lads then review their FPL seasons. Matt's was a tale of reward through perseverance and other priorities for Nick saw him drop below his usual high standards. However, as the brothers discuss, Nick got his priorities right!

The FPL chat then sees the lads continue their new tradition of presenting The Bridge Brothers' End of Season Awards, otherwise known as "The Bridgies."

Who will be the winner in coveted categories such as "Goalkeeper of the Season," "Surprise of the Season" and "Player of the Season"? And who will walk away with the less prestigious honours of "Flop of the Season" and "Troll of the Season"? Check out the episode to find out!

Matt and Nick finish the show with some World Cup chat, including their plans for covering the tournament.

As we want to make next season's show our best yet, we are not going to do any podcasts during the World Cup, but will pop up on our socials with some sound bites where we will share our thoughts on the games, players and how the tournament is generally being delivered by the hosts.

As the Premier League draws to a close, the Bridge Brothers find themselves crawling to the FPL finishing line. Nick is, like Chelsea, is already thinking about next season and Matt is trying to get some crumbs of comfort by winning one of his work mini-leagues.

The lads chat about their game week 37 performances, which was well and truly still in play at the time of recordings as well as their plans for the final game week 38.

Matt and Nick also bid farewell to Aerial WSL and talk about whether there will be a new Fantasy app ready for the 26/27 campaign. Matt also doesn't miss the chance to mention that he is the champion of the inaugural, and perhaps last ever, Bridge Brothers WSL mini-league.

There's also a brief bit of chat about Matt's trip to London to attend the Podcast Show 2026 as well as a clip featuring his experience of being in North London when Arsenal won the league. The chaps recorded this episode the day before City drew 1-1 with Bournemouth and so it is important to say that some of their plans may need to change accordingly.

While there is no Fantasy WSL, there is still FPL and the final deadline and joining code is...

Sunday the 24th of May at 14:30. BN59SG

We start with a Beyond the Bridge round up as Nick recalls AFC Croydon's promotion play-off defeat to Callum, (not Graham), Macfarlane's former team AFC Whyteleafe.

Speaking of Macfarlane, the brothers' hopes are low for the men's FA Cup final against Manchester City. There is also analysis of the women's semi-final exit in the same competition which was also at the hands of the sky blue Cityzens in the North-West!

The lads' hopes are also not much higher after reviewing the club's Premier League clash with Liverpool last weekend with the brother's also being concerned that, if BlueCo don't get a grip, Chelsea could "do a Spurs" next season.

Matt also shares his fan-boy experience of getting a "like" from former Chelsea Director Marina Granovskaia, which leads the brothers' to begin dreaming of potential guests on the pod, which also include Jon Obi-Mikel!

The long and winding road that is this season's Premier League and, by extension, FPL is coming to an end. But with 2 more game weeks to go, the Brothers discuss their performances in double game week 36, (which was still ongoing at the time of recording), as well as their plans to finish with a flourish as the end of another campaign draws near.

While the Prem is in its penultimate week, the WSL heads towards its last game. Unlike the well heeled and well sponsored FPL app, the women's game needs to contemplate life without fantasy football with Aerial FWSL bidding farewell to its many players after game week 22.

So it for one last time, the FWSL deadline and joining code is as follows...

Saturday the 16th of May at 12:00 FKWAXX

For the money bags Premier League and FPL, the penultimate FPL deadline and joining code is...

Friday the 15th of May at 18:30. BN59SG

"Score a hat trick or go home" is a phrase that we use referencing Aston Villa's Anna Patten with Matt hoping for a brilliant performance from her to continue his good Fantasy WSL season.

However, we could also use it towards Nick who is lacing up his boots again as part of AFC Croydon's What a Life Cup and is fundraiser to improve youth facilities for the next generation of footballing talent. The Brothers also discuss whether Nick qualifies as a celebrity by virtue as co-presenter of this very podcast! If you're interested in attending and raising money for a good cause, more details can be found below...

Speaking of "this very podcast," the lads review their game week 35 performances and ask the question: "can Matt continue his good form now he has used up all his chips?"

The chaps also share their FPL plans with Matt considering bringing in Saka and Nick deciding on "the tragic end of Igor Thiago" as he contemplates whether to transfer out the Brentford talisman.

Things are a lot more interesting in Fantasy WSL, as the Bridge Brothers contend with Arsenal's triple game week as well as playing their respective chips ahead of the last game week of the season and, very sadly, the last ever game week for Aerial Fantasy WSL.

Times and joining codes are detailed below...

FPL: Game week 36: Saturday the 9th of May at 11:00. BN59SG

FWSL, Game Week 22: Saturday the 16th of May at 12:00 FKWAXX

It's been quite the week in the news for Chelsea FC. An insipid defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion was followed by the dismissal of Manager Liam Rosenior, all amongst increasing fan unrest at the BlueCo ownership. Fast forward to Sunday and the men's seniors, under the guidance of former Croydon FC and AFC Whyteleaf coach Callum Macfarlane, defeated age old rivals Leeds United to book their place in the FA Cup final. It's a funny ol' game sometimes!

The Bridge Brothers talk about all of this as well as the Chelsea Women's 4-1 victory over Everton at Goodison as well as some Beyond the Bridge discussion surrounding AFC Croydon who reached the Isthmian South-East Play-off Final. If successful, they will seal promotion to the Isthmian Premier where they could play Matt's local non-league team AFC Whitehawk as well as Lewes FC.

With Matt having now exhausted all his chips in this season's FPL, the older Bridge Brother reflects, (in true Pep Guardiola style), on what went well and would could have been better. With Nick still having his bench boost and triple captain to play, is there still one last twist in battle for sibling supremacy.

While Matt talks about his relief that all he needs to do is play one transfer in FPL this week, things are not so simple when it comes to Aerial WSL with the lads having a good few chips to play with only three games remaining. There is also, of course, the small matter of a triple game week for Arsenal.

With other musings and reflections, including the Brothers' experience of interacting with the lovely people behind the Aerial WSL app, things are getting exciting as we head towards the business end of the football season.

Game deadlines and codes are as follows...

FPL: Game week 35: Friday the 1st of May at 18:30. BN59SG

FWSL, Game Week 21: Saturday the 2nd of May at 11:00 FKWAXX
