In our last episode of 2024, Matt and Nick talk about their respective game week 18 performances as well as how their teams are doing mid-way through game week 19. While the Team Tok juggernaut keeps on rolling, there are signs of life that Team Pod may still have a good end to the season. That is if Matt can stop leaving his better players on the bench.

Amongst his New Year's resolutions, Matt has also vowed to not make any changes to his FPL Team on Boxing Day as he has a tradition of making mistakes on the 26th of December. This year, he transferred in Pedro Neto instead of Enzo Fernandes, not that it made much difference with Chelsea's festive form being decidedly patchy. Speaking of which, please excuse a couple of glitchy internet moments on this episode with Nick sounding a bit like a robot at minute 4:10.

The new year is often about predictions and Nick's declaration that Ipswich are better than Manchester United seems to have been realised after the Monday game week 19 fixtures. These saw the Red Devils going down 0-2 to Newcastle and the Tractor Boys beating title chasing Chelsea. Amidst the criticism of these historically big teams, there is also praise for high flying Nottingham Forest, Fulham and AFC Bournemouth who are all competing for Europe next season.

There are also clips from Matt, Nick and Dad's trip Balham FC VS Tooting and Mitcham at the Imperial Ground. Technically, it was an away day for the Terrors, however, they are currently ground sharing with Balham who previously played at AFC Croydon's Mayfield Stadium. Cue lots of "hilarious" jokes from Matt about Tooting being intimidated as the away side.

With 2025 on the horizon, Matt and Nick finish the pod by wishing the listeners a happy new year and suggest that, one easy new year's resolution is to join us in the FPL Pod VS Tok league. You can find full details about this, as well as the transfer deadline below...
