  • GW25 Review + GW26 Waivers - Is Palmer Back? Rayan Forecast & Can You Trust Leeds?
    Feb 10 2026

    Recording a day late after watching the Super Bowl (with some friendly Patriots-Seahawks rivalry), the crew breaks down Game Week 25 and looks ahead to the quick turnaround double game week. The episode opens with VAR frustrations and controversial refereeing decisions before diving into the week's big talking points.

    Cole Palmer's hat-trick sparks debate about whether he's truly back to his best or if penalties against Wolves don't tell the full story. The hosts discuss Arsenal's evolving strike partnership and whether certain players are becoming weekly starters again. Manchester City's recent form gets analyzed, with questions about rotation and whether certain midfielders are trustworthy additions.

    The conversation shifts to trade targets and waiver wire priorities for the quick turnaround week. With double game weeks approaching, the crew debates which players deserve immediate pickups versus which names are schedule-dependent. West Ham's recent surge gets attention, along with discussions about fixture difficulty and whether certain hot streaks are sustainable. From defenders with nightmare upcoming fixtures to midfielders benefiting from injuries, the episode covers the key decisions managers need to make before Tuesday's matches kick off.

  • Fantrax Gazette - The Free Transfer Controversy, Cup Results & the real MOTM
    Feb 5 2026

    The Fantrax and Football crew tackle Game Week 24's fallout with plenty of hot takes and controversy. The episode kicks off with what might be the most bizarre trade in league history - a player given away for absolutely nothing - sparking a heated debate about the integrity of trades and whether the rulebook needs updating.

    The hosts review several other trades across the leagues before diving into the cup update, where the playoff round has wrapped up and eight teams have punched their tickets to the next stage. Manager of the Month honours are handed out, though not without some controversy.

    In the league standings, some familiar names find themselves in uncomfortable positions as the relegation battle tightens up. Could loans be introduced next season? Is anyone truly safe from the drop? And who's got the toughest schedule ahead? All that and more in this week's Gazette.
