Matt is riding on the crest of a green arrow wave as the Bridge Brothers sail into episode 27. The question is whether he can keep the good momentum going with blank game weeks on the horizon. A good chip strategy will be needed. When it comes to the young of the two siblings, Nick's charges need to re-discover their form if they want to finish strongly and ensure that the younger of the siblings doesn't decide to retire from the game completely next season.

Alongside sharing their FPL experiences and advice, Matt and Nick also turn their attention to the Women's game with the WSL returning this weekend. It is a bittersweet feeling with the news that the Aerial Fantasy game will be discontinued after this season. Reflecting on this story, the Brothers reflect on how integral the game has been when it comes to improving their WSL knowledge as well as how invaluable it is for women's football in the UK too.

The chaps are hoping that someone can sweep in and save the much loved Aerial WSL, but if indeed this is the last season we play it, game weeks and codes for the upcoming fixtures are included below...

FWSL, Game Week 17: Sunday the 15th of March at 11:00 (Mother’s Day). FKWAXX

FPL: Game week 30: Friday the 14th of March at 13:30. BN59SG

With a 4-1 win over Aston Villa and a 2-4 victory over Wrexham, it's dreamland for The Bridge Brothers as the Chelsea men head to Paris. As you'll find in next week's show, those dreams were ended at the Parc des Princes, but we'll stay upbeat for now.

With Chelsea looking better in the Premier League, the chat includes references to "new R9 elect" Jõao Pedro, goalkeeper dilemmas, squad selection, controversial centre circle huddles and, of course, VAR. The Video Assistant Referee was actually on the Blues' side for the two games covered this week.

When it comes to Wrexham, Nick takes a dim view of the BBC's Rob and Ryan love-in and what the financial model of the Red Dragons means for the English football pyramid. As a big Welcome to Wrexham fan, Matt does his best to air a different point of view.

The "Blues Must add Defending and Discipline to their Arsenal" and, thankfully, in their following Premier League game they did when it came to the 4-1 victory against Aston Villa.

However, in this episode of The Bridge Brothers Podcast, which was recorded after the defeat to Arsenal, the lads lament more bad set piece defending and red cards which have hampered Chelsea in their bid to be challengers to the Premier League title.

The lads talk the inexperience of youth, managerial puppets and frustrations around the ownership model.

They also look forward to the FA Cup game against Wrexham, in the "who can buy titles derby," as well as the game against PSG. Surely, with Rosenior's Ligue Une experience, Chelsea can yet again beat their Parisian rivals?

In a slight change to our format, the Bridge Brothers are going back to their Chelsea roots and focusing on all things Blue, including the under 18s 3-0 victory against Southampton, the Women's fantastic FA Cup victory over Manchester United and, (perhaps less enthusiastically), the Chelsea men's senior team 1-1 home draw with Burnley.

And it is this game against the Clarets that the lads focus on which brings up topics such as team discipline, inexperience, defending set-pieces and the future of players such as Liam Delap. Should Nicolas Jackson come in and get his place back from him?

We also declare an emphatic no when it comes to the racist abuse experienced by Chelsea's Wesley Fofana. As Nick says, there is no place for discrimination in society and certainly not on the Bridge Brothers Podcast.

One correction to add is that Matt mentioned Strasbourg won 3-0 against Lyon, whereas the final score was in fact 3-1.

Thanks as ever to Shane speed, aka Sea of Days, for his music for the podcast. Incidentally, Shane's team Mansfield did what Chelsea couldn't do last weekend and defeat Burnley!

In episode 26, Matt and Nick lament another tough game week with both siblings praying for strong performances from Bruno Fernandes and Bryan Mbeumo in Manchester United's game against Everton.

Perhaps ironically, it is the Chelsea triple-up which has been at the centre of the Bridge Brothers' anguish which leads Matt to conclude that he needs to trust his gut more when it comes to playing FPL.

There's props for Fulham, consensus about "Doctor" Tottenham being a team to target and a bit of pizza chat thrown in for good measure.

If you fancy your chances against the lads, the game week deadlines and league codes are included below.

FWSL, Game Week 17: Sunday the 15th of March at 11:00 (Mother’s Day). FKWAXX

FPL: Game week 27: Friday the 27th of February at 18:30. BN59SG

On the back of Chelsea's progression in the FA Cup, (after beating Hull in the Liam Rosenior Derby), Matt asks whether this current Blues Team can emulate the success of their counterparts in the 70s, 90s and the Abrahamovic era by posing the question...

Is this the return of Chelsea’s cup kings era?

The Bridge Brothers Podcast will be having a slight change of format next week, where we will take a deeper dive into selected matches from the senior men's and women's teams as well as academy games.

It's episode 25 and Matt and Nick return with tales of a mixed game week 26.

At the time of recording, Matt was holding out hope that Gabriel would make his dreams come true in Arsenal's away game against Wolves after he triple captained the defender. *Spoiler, he didn't!

With the elder of the siblings left wondering what could have been, Nick is wringing the changes for game week 27 as the Bridge Brothers go again in their FPL adventure.

It's better news for Matt in WSL as some good fortune sees him continue to dominate the Brothers' Aerial WSL league.

If you fancy your chances against the lads, the game week deadlines and league codes are included below.

FWSL, Game Week 17: Sunday the 15th of March at 11:00 (Mother’s Day). FKWAXX

FPL: Game week 27: Saturday the 21st of February at 13:30. BN59SG

After offering his admin services to help with Crystal Palace's poor record of paperwork, Matt starts this week's topic which is...

"Is the future bright for Chelsea women?"

This question is off the back of a much needed win for the Blues who beat Tottenham away 2-0, all under the watchful gaze of the home fans, our travelling supporters and pop superstar Madonna!

With there being a number of NBA Star Giannis Antetokounmpo joining Alexis Ohanian's investment group and the Head of Women's Football Paul Green departing, the Bridge Brothers ask what the future has in store for the club and whether we should be worried about being priced out when it comes to following the women's senior team too?
