Trades flying, tempers flaring, and a few managers already in crisis mode — the Gazette is back after the international break. Tim, Gary, and Karl tear through the latest deals across all three divisions, from eyebrow-raising swaps to outright steals, and debate who came out on top. We dive into waiver wire chaos (yes, Trey Hume again), surprise results, and which managers might already be circling the relegation drain.

It’s part league report, part therapy session, and as always, plenty of laughs and off-topic detours along the way.

In this Added Time, Michael joins the crew to relive one of the wildest Fantrax stories yet - his infamous all-in bid for Ronaldo, the faab trades that gutted his team, and the lessons learned along the way. From rookie mistakes and time-zone drama to figuring out trades and waiver strategy, it’s a crash course in how experience makes you a better fantasy manager.

We wrap with deadline day reflections, Michael’s rise from mid-table to the top of the Premier League, and of course a heated debate on who scores more this season: that Swedish guy or the German prince.

With Gameweek 5 looming, the crew break down the best waiver wire pickups across every position, and just as importantly, who it’s finally time to cut loose. Plus the mailbag including the question everyone seems to be asking - What fantasy managers should really do with Antonee Robinson and Lewis Hall, and whether either is worth the headache.

We also hit the Discord mailbag for lineup dilemmas, and wrap things up with our Start of the Week picks, a segment that already feels cursed after last week’s results.

In this Added Time, the crew sit down with Sean to dig into one of the most important parts of draft fantasy football: how to work the waiver wire. From identifying who to drop, to streaming defenders and goalkeepers, to spotting value in predicted lineups and opponent matchups, Sean shares the strategies that have helped him win multiple titles.

We also get into faab bidding, lineup roulette, and why sometimes the smartest move is simply picking up the player someone else just dropped. Plenty of practical advice here, with the usual laughs and side-tracks along the way.
