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.

With the international break wrapping up, the crew - joined by Discord regular Jordan (mofogo) - dive deep into the fixture landscape ahead of Gameweek 8. Which teams have the friendliest runs, who’s staring down a nightmare schedule, and how can fantasy managers use fixture difficulty to get ahead?

We break down the next month of matchups, explore how upcoming runs could shape waiver wire and trade strategy, and highlight which teams are conceding the most Fantrax points to opposing players. There’s also talk of underperforming forwards, positional balance, and how to prepare your roster for the weeks ahead.

It’s a Fantrax & Football first - the Mailbag Special! Tim, Gary, and Karl take on listener questions straight from the Discord community, tackling everything from Bruno Fernandes’ trade value to how they’d redraft the top 10 if the season started today.

The lads also debate Matoma’s boom-bust scoring, what to do with injured forwards like Isak, and whether Sunderland’s defence has peaked. Plus, some heated takes on Woltemade, Watkins, and who’s really safe to drop before the international break.

Plenty of laughs, brutal honesty, and the usual mix of stats, strategy, and chaos.

The international break hasn’t slowed down the drama. Gary pulls off a blockbuster trade just before recording, and the lads break it all down - who won, who lost, and how it might shake up the rest of the season. From Woltemade hype and Pedro frustration to clever waiver flips and Fab madness, this one’s packed with classic fantasy chaos.

We also recap the latest results across all three divisions - big wins, brutal lows, and a few managers already hearing footsteps from the Relegation Reaper. Plus, the usual banter, inside jokes, and post-trade therapy session for Gary.

Gameweek 7 wraps up with late goals, big performances, and a few fantasy frustrations. The crew break down the weekend’s heroes and zeros, debate the early-season form of key assets like Semenyo and Sesko, and talk through injury worries heading into the break.

Then it’s straight into GW8 waiver wire strategy - the best pickups across defenders, midfielders, and forwards, who’s worth holding through the international break, and which forwards might finally be turning the corner. Plus, plenty of banter about Wolves’ struggles, Bruno rumours, and the eternal search for reliable ghost points.

Gameweek 6 is wrapped up, and the Gazette is packed with action. We crown our September Managers of the Month across all three divisions, break down the biggest trades (including a blockbuster Foden deal), and argue over whether goalkeepers might secretly be fantasy gold after Robin Roef's monster week.

From Sunderland assets and Villa woes to outrageous trade offers (yes, Chris Wood is still involved), it’s the usual mix of league drama, banter, and off-topic tangents. Plus, we hear directly from league managers as they react to big wins, crushing losses, and some very questionable roster moves.
