From marathon runs to fantasy heartbreaks, it’s another chaotic week across all three divisions. The lads recap Gameweek 8, starting with Sam’s monster score in League One and the battle for October’s Manager of the Month, before moving through the Championship’s marathon madness and yellow-card controversy.

There’s drama in the Premier League too - heartbreaking losses, GGs gone wrong, and a spirited comeback from Rami’s Mo Salah-powered squad. Plus, a few heated trade debates, some dubious accent work, and the ongoing Ballard Bus hype.

Plenty of laughs, league gossip, and fantasy fallout - it’s the Gazette at its best.

The lads dive into a packed listener mailbag this week, tackling the toughest fantasy questions straight from the Discord. What do you do with big-name players who aren’t performing? We debate whether to hold, trade, or drop names like Elanga, Gyökeres, Havertz, and Bernardo - and the answers get spicy.

There’s plenty of Forest talk after Dyche’s arrival, thoughts on Brighton rotation, and a deep dive into Sunderland’s defence and the secret to Ballard’s ghost points. Plus, the crew reveal their weirdest fantasy superstitions - from lineup alarms to lucky hats - and settle a few ongoing league debates along the way.

Gameweek 8 had it all - big goals, baffling misses, and a few fantasy nightmares along the way. The lads break down the weekend’s standout performances, including unlikely heroes, defensive meltdowns, and the players who quietly kept racking up ghost points.

Ange has been sacked, there is a new striker in town, and the Sunderland defence is back in business.

Then it’s on to the GW9 waiver wire, where we sort through the noise to find real difference-makers for the upcoming week. From under-the-radar midfielders to defenders on hot streaks, we highlight who’s worth a bid (and who isn’t).

Plus, a few bold Start of the Week picks, some questionable trade ideas, and the usual mix of banter, arguments, and accidental good advice.
