About this listen
Blank Gameweeks in Fantasy Premier League can define your season — but only if you approach them with a clear strategy.
In this episode of the Triple Captains Podcast, we break down how to attack a Blank Gameweek properly, balancing chips, hits, squad structure and game state.
Do you prioritise getting 11 players out… or focus on owning the right quality assets?
When is the right time to take hits in a reduced fixture Gameweek?
And how should your approach change depending on your available chips?
We also analyse the key fixtures in the blank, assess whether Bruno Fernandes has become the safe captaincy option, and debate what is likely to be a low-scoring Gameweek.
Plus the usual host rivalry — including one manager questioning everything after another difficult week.
🎯 In this episode:
– Blank Gameweek strategy explained
– 11 players vs quality players debate
– When to take hits in FPL
– How chips change your approach
– Fixture analysis for the blank
– Captaincy discussion including Bruno Fernandes
If you want context over noise and strategy over panic… this is the episode for you.
