About this listen
In this Mailbag edition, Tim, Gary, and Karl work through a wide range of listener questions that hit at the core of Fantrax decision-making. The discussion covers when to treat players as set-and-forget, how to handle high-ownership names appearing on the waiver wire, and whether fantasy success is driven more by skill or luck over the course of a season.
There’s also a deep dive into game week strategy - including mirroring defenders late in the week, chasing ceiling versus protecting a lead, and how much fixture difficulty should influence lineup choices. The lads debate the impact of European minutes, the importance of set-piece roles, and share their own worst fantasy heartbreaks involving late stat corrections.
The episode wraps up with Start of the Week picks for GW17, including a voice note from Sean, as the calendar tightens and margins continue to shrink.
