Bang Average

The fun crew preview GW30 and look ahead to the short slate in week 31. With only 8 teams playing in 31, Mike, John and Ryan look at this week's fixtures but also at planning for the Blank Game Week

After an eventful GW29, Mike & Ryan break down the United comeback, Chelsea's lack of comeback attempt and Arsenal's abject failure. With a host of Draft or Daft questions and a glance towards the upcoming blank game week, there's plenty to get your teeth into.

Gaffer - check. YIRMA - check. MikeP - check. A full house for the GW29 preview including what to do with the disappointing Siggy and finally the week of Knockaert is upon us. Also Ryan makes Mike and John read things the listeners sent in.

100 episodes. Wow. What an achievement. MikeP, John and Ryan celebrate by announcing new Patreon details, arguing about players wearing gloves and short sleeves & the merit of phone in shows. Also there's fantasy talk about Chelsea, United, Liverpool the latest Ty Dolla $ign controversy.

It's the 99th episode of Bang Average / Talkin Togga and John has gone to Disneyland to celebrate. While he has a brief cameo, Ryan and Mike host a bumper Draft or Daft episode, featuring talk on trades, playoffs, Pogba & United's defense.

With no Premier League this weekend and Ryan returning, it's a nonsense heavy episode with the lads finally getting to the Dele Alli controversy, loads of listener questions and a Larne FC update.

In a Valentine's Day spectacular, John and MikeP have an intimate one-on-one discussion about their mutual love of Sergio Aguero, the return of Riyad Mahrez and some thoughts on next seasons striking options.

The absence of Riyad Mahrez dominates the GW27 preview pod as MikeP and @fantasygaffer look at what to expect in a trade for Mahrez, what to do with the newly injured Wilf Zaha and what Chelsea will show up this week.

In a January transfer special, Gaffer, YIRMA & MikeP look at all the last minute transfer deals, who is worth a pickup and where they rank rest of season. Even with Abumeyang, Moura, Giroud, Gerry D and Sturridge getting a good going over, there’s still time for quick hits on Carrillo, Ulloa, Lennon, Kennedy and more. With Sane’s injury and some Draft or Daft questions, it’s quite the full show.

Friend of the Pod Niall Hawthorne joins the regulars for an extended Draft or Daft, answering #Bangers questions about having patience with Bolasie, Bournemouth's midfield prospects and the potential in Liverpool's.

This week John bangs on about matches that aren't going to happen, Ryan forgets the magnificent 'Trade Away' segment jingle and Mike watches football instead of paying attention. They also talk Monreal's unreal 30 minutes, Watford's managerial merri-go-round and Brighton's record breaking striker.

This week the boys bang on about Arsenal post Sanchez, Palace's injury crisis, West Brom's very few fantasy options and a whole host of #Banger questions!

There's a full compliment this week as the boys bang on about the Sanchez / Myki move, Everton's new front there and an illustrious trio on Mane, Sane and Son. They also dive into the best fantasy players of the 1990's and the best characters from Street Fighter 2.

MikeP & Fantasy Gaffer get through a host of listener questions as they preview the upcoming slate of fixtures. Highlights include which team has the most relevant fantasy forwards, how big footballers are and what do do about Willian's weird season so far.

Welcome to Bang Average, the new name for your favourite bi-weekly fantasy fooball podcast. The name has changed, the hosts haven't - MikeP, FantasyGaffer & FantasyYIRMA are back talking Coutinho's departure, Tosun's arrival, Sanchez potential move, West Ham vs Huddersfield strikers and the rise of Larne FC.
