Did you notice the odd thing about Premier League gameweek 10? There were no away wins! How do home vs away fixtures affect your FPL management? Are there such things as 'fixture proof players'?
Dr Luman and Manish discuss this and Arsenal's fading title chances, the little owned forwards gaining some consistency and whether you can go big on Spurs against Ipswich.

To quote Boy Better Know’s excellent grime hit of 2009, there’s simply ‘Too Many Man’ to fit into those FPL striker positions! It seems every budget forward is in hot form right now, so who do you get in? Dr Luman and Manish discuss this from gameweek 9, as well as Arsenal Vs Liverpool, Saka, Wood, Mbeumo and the heartbreak for Haaland triple-captainers.
Erling Haaland is playing at home to Southampton and he's blanked in three weeks. Is this the gameweek he unleashes all his pent up goals? More than 70% of fantasy football managers will be hoping so (maybe even triple captaining him!)

If like us you went “Eeek!” at this past gameweek, then settle in for some cathatric FPL content. Dr Luman and Manish attempt to explain one of the lowest GW’s in FPL history, despite goals from Salah, Watkins and even Son (remember him?!). It’s all got to do with that big fella up in Manchester blanking AGAIN, as well as the side shows not performing. The pair also talk about the two lower ranked teams who could be turning their s...
It’s well and truly winterish weather in the UK but there’s nothing like the return of Premier League Fantasy Football to warm Dr Luman and Manish up. The pair discuss what to do with Mo Salah, walking the ‘Haaland tightrope’ and they assess the value of FDR (fixture difficulty rating). The two also look back at a player that gave them both huge joy - Andres Iniesta!

Does Fantasy Premier League turn you into a fickle and greedy person? Well it did to Manish in game week 7!

Well that was a gameweek to remember for Cole Palmer owners! Luckily, we've got someone who captained Chelsea's own starboy on the show- Dr Luman Ali! He and Manish discuss why the FPL comparison shouldn't be Palmer Vs Saka, but Palmer Vs Mo Salah! The pair also go through the Premier League Fantasy Football players they've both slept on (McNeil) and the new teams to avoid (Palace, United, West Ham). Oh and Cousin Vinay returns!
This week's pod starts with a right ol' ding dong between Dr Luman and Manish as the pair debate whether a draw for Arsenal at the Etihad was a good point or not. Luman goes takes us back to #Barclaysmen of 04/05, when United (down to 10 men) beat the Gunners at Highbury.
They also discuss Fantasy Football's biggest stories from gameweek 5, including special mentions for 'Dat Guy' Danny Welbeck, Luis Diaz the new Salah, Emile Smith...
Ever watched the classic comedy Dumb and Dumber? Well today meet the Fantasy Football equivalent!
Following on from a disastrous (and still Haaland-less) gameweek 4, Dr Luman and Manish discuss their measly scores whilst bemoaning Crystal Palace assets, Liverpool & Brighton's blip and Villa's bad at the back but good up top form.
Then they each pick out differentials for gameweek 5's fixtures and Luman asks 'Should Haaland be £...
The international break is over and Fantasy Premier League is back! Ahead of gameweek 4, Dr Luman and Manish assess each team and ask 'what are they?', in order to figure out whether or not to invest their FPL pounds. Are Man City are champions again? Do the promoted teams go back down? And what the hell are Chelsea?!
In a week where Oasis reunited, were Fantasy Premier League Managers sipping on champagne supernova or looking back in anger? Dr Luman and Manish both reflect on gameweek 3, with both without Erling Haaland again. With Liverpool's perfect start, they assess which assets other than Salah to get in and how Brighton's budget ballers are providing value for money. The pair also receive their first listener contribution from cousin Vina...
It was a Reservoir Dogs like bloodbath in FPL this week! Haaland owners hacking off the ears of managers who were Erling-less. But Manish has no regrets despite not having the big Norwegian (for now) whilst Dr Luman is cursing being stuck in the middle with clowns to the left of him (Watkins) and jokers to his right (Isak). The pair review Fantasy Football gameweek 2 and look ahead to a tantalising Tarantino sequel with United Vs L...
Is anything more certain than death, taxes and an opening day Salah FPL haul? It may be a new Fantasy Football season but it was a familiar story for Mo and most of the other big hitters. Dr Luman and Manish discuss this dejavu, whilst also trashing Chelsea and Spurs, bigging up Brighton and the Brentford duo. The pair also gulp at GW 2's fixtures.... Haaland vs Ipswich eek!
Fantasy Premier League is back and so are Dr Luman and Manish. Join the long time friends as they struggle to balance work life, dad life and FPL life in this weekly pod. This episode previews the season where the two discuss why their none of their defenders are more than £4.5m, a collection of budget midfielders with big potential and what to do with £15m albatross around everyone's neck - Erling Haaland!
Following the final FPL gameweek of the 23/24 season Dr Luman and Manish talk about what Jurgen Klopp's legacy will be (and what could have been), the one trait that both Pep and Fergie share, and how the top three FPL players this season are all English (does this bode well for the Euros?). The pair also look at the overall Fantasy Football winner and whether data beats the eye test.
We go Spurs bashing in our post gameweek 37 pod! Dr Luman Ali and Manish discuss how Tottenham have broken Big Ange, whether Cole Palmer could be the new Egyptian King (you know what we mean) and who to invest in for the final weekend when so few teams have anything to play for. We also wonder whether Salah will still feature in teams next season and Manish admits to employing a dirty FPL tactic.
Gameweek 36 was yet another Fantasy Football points feast with both Dr Luman Ali and Manish's wildcards activated. They reflect back on great totals again, despite one not captaining Haaland, they laugh at Spurs and Man Utd respectively, heap praise on Michael Olise and consider a low-key super Chelsea asset. Then it's a look ahead to FPL gameweek 37 and which fixture gives Manish the heebie-jeebies!
Wow, did you feast on FPL points? How could you not! With so many players scoring so many points, somehow Dr Luman Ali manages to score the worst century in FPL history! He and Manish breakdown a monumental gameweek, which includes Mateta madness, scoreless Salah and ridiculous returns everywhere (except for Liverpool). We also look ahead at the weekend's fixtures and wonder whether you're better off avoiding a double gameweek team...

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
