Episode 61: Dens Spark ⚡️

It's 2024, it's our 4th year, and it's time for our 1st pod of the New Year. We look ahead at the Scottish Cup this weekend and a few possible upsets on the horizon, celebrate Curtis Main's triumphant return to Scottish football (closely followed by Greg Stewart LIVE ON AIR), and give you our team of the season...so far. Lots and lots to cover, including the ever inflating price of Freddos.

Episode 60: Feed The Bair

After a month's hiatus for one half of this Pod to get marred 🎩 we're back post-International break to discuss Scotland's heroics, practice our German, and break down what's been a typically turbulent first couple of months in (soon to no longer be named) the Cinch. Enjoy this proverbial feast for your ears ahead of GW9.

Episode 59: The Season Preview 📈

Well, here we go again. The summer break has been and gone. A Premiership team has already embarrassed itself in the League Cup. Another has shamed itself in Europe. It's the start of August and the new season is mere DAYS away. It's time to pick those Fantasy Football Scotland squads folks ⏰ join us as we jump from ground to ground, from position to position, and give our now esteemed, four-seasons-and-counting analysis of what's to come in 2023/24. Buckle up because the Fantasy Fitba Pod is back!

Episode 58: Doing The Splits

I couldn't be bothered writing this description so I got ChatGPT to do it instead:

The Fantasy Fitba Pod is back for another episode, and this time we're talking all about the upcoming split!

With the split just around the corner, it's time to start thinking about how you're going to use your wildcard. Do you go for a big gamble and bring in some of the top players from the top half of the table? Or do you play it safe and stick with the players who have served you well so far?

Don't miss out!

Here are some funny things we might say on the show (we said none of these things):

"The split is like the fantasy football equivalent of the Hunger Games."
"If you don't use your wildcard wisely, you'll be left behind in the dust."
"Don't be afraid to make some big changes to your team. This is your chance to make a statement."
"The split is a time for bold moves and big risks. So go out there and have some fun!"

Episode 57: Goose & Maverick

It's our first pod of 2023 (we know, we know) but we're back with a bang, and we may or may not be wearing trousers. We climb aboard the manager merry-go-round, breakdown the numbers behind the seamless introduction of VAR in Scotland (ahem), and whet our appetites for the split by surveying the league landscape and looking at some of the teams in the most tantalising spots. We're back baby, and we're Cinch'ing.

Well, it's been a while...so we've got PLENTY to cover. With that in mind, we will keep this short and sweet and encourage you to dive right in for a Cinch quarter-season review starring Big Myk, Shank, and The Duk 😎

Episode 55: Deadline Day w/ Geoghegan

The man with more appearances on the pod than any other - our very own Billy McNeill - joins us for Episode 55 of the Fantasy Fitba Pod. That's right ladies and gentleman...Mr Craig Geoghegan is back for another season. We get the Specs View™️ on all the latest happenings in the Cinch and what it means from a Fantasy Football Scotland perspective. We talk Jack Dross, the bouncing Buddies, striker conundrums, and of course the upcoming Old Firm.

Episode 54: ASOS Ancelotti

We've had three Cinch filled weeks and, quite frankly, we're like pigs in shit. It's had a bit of everything; a manager sacked before the season commenced, last minute winners, coefficient points going up in smoke, Martindale magic, the return of Martin Boyle, and a big bloke having the time of his life in Amsterdam and sleeping through his team being pumped 7-0. It's hard to even know where to start, but we give it our best go.

Episode 53: Rocky Road - Season Preview

The summer break has been and gone, and it's now time for...THE NEW SEASON! There's already been more drama than your average episode of Love Island, so that can only mean that the Cinch is once again upon us. We discuss some slightly controversial changes to Fantasy Football Scotland, review all the teams handled their business over the past months, and run through the all important first drafts of our 22/23 FFS squads. Buckle up, it's going to be a bumpy ride!

Episode 52: Wildcard Special 🃏

The end is nigh and the post-split Wildcard is upon us! We cover off Jambo glory, Maloney misery, Rangers European escapades, and the VAR announcement that sent shockwaves around the Cinch...before a FIRST look at those all important Wildcard drafts. Mulling over (or Mullen, as the case may be) your options? Give this a listen and share you conundrums with us for review over on Twitter 👉

Episode 51: Gorgeous Giorgos

Keeping this description short and concise, just like tonight's pod. The gorgeous Greek bags a hattrick and 69 points for Scobie whilst he's at it. A round-up of Scotland's endeavours, which FFS app features should come and go in 22/23, and John looks forward to his first Aberdeen victory of the season; well, the lagers anyway 🍺

Episode 50: Half Cinchury w/ Gregor Smith

"Alexa, play Happy Birthday by Stevie Wonder" 🎊 Welcome fans and friends to our 50th episode - a rip roaring birthday celebration featuring pod hat-trick hero Mr Gregor Smith. Thanks for joining us week in, week out, for our distinctly average patter. We appreciate the support immensely. We get stuck in to Scottish Cup Semi-Final action, throw caution to the wind and rethink Part 2 (when it had all been going so well), get quizzed by resident quiz master John, and generally just say the word fifty or the number 50 as many times as possible in 60 minutes.

Episode 49: Return Of The Rice

It's been a while, folks. We've had a manager merry go round in the Cinch, with the return of some familiar old faces in McGhee and Robinson, and Goodwin crossing the Dee to take the reigns at Pittodrie. So, naturally, we had to name this episode after new Alloa manager BRIAN RICE folks! We round up February, look ahead another DGW and a possible bench boost opportunity, and discuss the ever nearing split.

Episode 48: Swiping Right In To '22

We start 2022 with YET ANOTHER live pod, this time down in the Big Smoke at John's gaff. We bounce back from the winter break and discuss cup upsets, an avalanche of transfers, and - dare we say - the rise of the lower half of the league. Beers, banter, and Bumble. Do we have an exciting 2022 to look forward to in the Cinch? You better believe it.

Episode 47: Live From The Shed II w/ Gerry

It's the FFP Christmas Special and where else would be recording from? Gerry's shed, of course. We chew the fat with the Gaffer and take the opportunity to review the season...so far! With the Winter break now upon us, we look back on the past 6 months of action and give each of the teams a grade 💯

Episode 46: Off The Boyle

Well, we recorded this one far too late in the evening for a witty description but I can confirm that despite rumours to the contrary, no rules have been broken with regards to Covid restrictions and - I repeat - there was NOT a party. It was simply a business meeting and perhaps there was cans and cheese. Was there social distancing? You decide for yourself. We unpick the first two weeks of December's footballing feast.

Episode 45: The Return Of Van Staunchorst

Scotland beating Denmark + Hibs beating Rangers + County beating Hibs + Hearts beating United + United being Aberdeen + Saints losing a cup game + Motherwell looking good again + St Mirren...well, drawing. It's all a bit much to keep up with 🤯 Well, we try our very best an unpick the month that was November.

Episode 44: cinch'ed It

We've only gone and bloody cinch'ed it! After a 3 week hiatus we return with a bottom to top review of the league as the quarter way point in the season sails past us. Stragglers being cut loose at the bottom of the league, I hear you ask? Think again. Champion contenders pulling away from their rivals? Aye, that'll be right. We've more storylines than an episode of River City and more cinch'ing than you can shake a stick at. Sit back and enjoy the drama.

Episode 43: Shattered Glass

New show, new rapid intro. We're going to guess that you know exactly what we're all about by now so let's get right in to it! And by it, we mean a quick recap of (another) famous international footballing weekend for Scotland, a recap of all the action in the Cinch - who may or may not be our new sponsors - two weeks ago, whilst looking forward to a mouth watering month of fixtures to come. Oh, and John pulls the trigger on his wildcard. And gets engaged. So much to cover, so little time...

Episode 42: Fuel Backs⛽️ w/ Gregor Smith

We're back with a bumper episode featuring none other than Gregor "The Statistician" Smith - back by very popular demand. Ever wondered how many of those nifty new bonus points have been dished out to the top players in the league? Mulling over the vast range of full back options at our disposal this season? And are you wondering if Gregor's ever come off the bench and popped one in from range? We'll answer all that and more this week. Promise.
