Listen "2024/25 Season Review: Awards, Breakout/Flop XIs, Lessons Learned, and More"
Episode Synopsis
Dear listeners, it’s that time of year again—welcome to the final episode of our 2024/25 season, our illustrious Season Review! We recognize that Gameweek 38 in fact happened over three weeks ago and apologize for keeping you waiting until now—but this also means that we’ve had more time to mull over what’s happened this season, allowing us to refine our reflections to deeper profundities. We start off with the superlatives, and this time, for the thrill of it all, we’ve prepared them without telling the other who/what we’ve picked. Then, we nominate eleven players who have really broken out this season, before highlighting their antitheses in the Flop XI—stunningly, one unfortunate player is a repeat from last year. Finally, in our Lessons Learned, we chew on the challenges of balancing FPL with our busy lives, the value of long-term planning even at the tail end of the season, and the virtues of never buying Diogo Jota or Dominic Calvert-Lewin ever again. And did you REALLY think we weren’t going to sneak in an economics reference? In thought-provoking fashion, Jacob astutely analogizes the debate between taking hits vs. saving transfers to the choice between a stable index fund or an actively managed mutual fund. Wishing everyone a healthy little detox from the world of FPL, before we get right back into things in August!
