Summary

Triple Captains is a strategy-first Fantasy Premier League (FPL) podcast built for managers who want more than noise, hype or hindsight analysis.


Hosted by Arc, Hots and Guffs, the show breaks down decision-making, sequencing and risk through a lens of data, context and lived experience — blending analytics with honest conversation about the emotional side of the game… meaning slander is never too far away.


Rather than chasing trends, Triple Captains focuses on the thinking behind the moves: chip strategy, fixture swings, squad structure, ownership dynamics and the realities that shape outcomes across a season.


This isn’t about perfect picks. It’s about understanding the game well enough to make better decisions over time.

  • FPL GW35 Strategy: Chasing Points vs Building Rank
    May 4 2026

    FPL Gameweek 35 is where seasons are either recovered… or completely lost.

    In this episode of the Triple Captains Podcast, we break down the real strategic divide in FPL right now — managers chasing points versus those building rank for the run-in.

    After the fallout from Double Gameweek 33, where Bench Boosters came out on top and others were left questioning everything, the focus now shifts to decision-making under pressure.

    Hots returns from holiday and finally gets to unpack his Bench Boost — a move that ultimately cost him 28 points — while Guffs continues to wrestle with form, captaincy calls, and whether his season is already gone.

    We explore how to approach Gameweek 35 properly:
    Do you chase what you’ve missed… or build towards what’s still to come?

    Using projected data and recent form, we analyse:
    – Captaincy options including Palmer, Haaland and Bruno Fernandes
    – Defensive stability based on projected clean sheets
    – Attacking upside across key teams :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
    – Differential forwards and emerging trends in recent gameweeks
    – Players to lock, consider or avoid as the run-in unfolds

    This is not about winning one Gameweek.

    It’s about understanding which decisions actually move your rank — and which ones only feel like they do.

    If you want context over noise and strategy over reaction… this is the episode for you.

  • FPL Blank Gameweek 34 Strategy: 11 Players or Quality First?
    Apr 26 2026

    Blank Gameweeks in Fantasy Premier League can define your season — but only if you approach them with a clear strategy.

    After a Double Gameweek 33 that didn’t quite deliver, where Bench Boosters edged out Free Hitters through a number of unlikely heroes, attention now turns to Blank Gameweek 34 — and a very different kind of decision.

    In this episode of the Triple Captains Podcast, we break down how to approach a blank properly, balancing squad structure, captaincy, and overall game state.

    Do you prioritise getting 11 players out… or focus on owning the right quality assets?

    Is chasing a full XI actually a trap in a low-scoring Gameweek?

    And are you optimising for this week… or positioning for what comes next?

    We also analyse the key fixtures in the blank, assess the best captaincy options, and debate what is expected to be a tighter, lower-scoring Gameweek than many anticipate.

    Plus the usual host rivalry — including unresolved tension from GW33 and questions around who actually came out on top.

    🎯 In this episode:
    – Lessons from DGW33 (Bench Boost vs Free Hit outcomes)
    – 11 players vs quality players debate
    – Why chasing a full XI may not be optimal
    – Strategic approach: optimise, plan ahead or survive
    – Fixture analysis for Blank GW34
    – Captaincy discussion and protection

    If you want context over noise and strategy over panic… this is the episode for you.

    Or trust a Wildcard setup with a mix of single and double Gameweek players?

    We explore the pros and cons of each approach, while also diving into the key teams and assets for the double — including Brighton, Bournemouth, Leeds, Manchester City, Burnley and Chelsea.

    FPL Salah also shares his approach to long-term success in the game, how he evaluates decisions, and his thoughts on the latest FPL changes.
