The Banter League
Ep 10: GW 9 review, Waiver Pickups for GW10, Live Trades, Liverpool Crisis Analysis and League Banter

In the tenth episode of Banter League, hosts Rudra and Ishaan celebrate three consecutive weeks of football action while Vineeth joins later after traveling, discussing Manchester United’s incredible three-game winning streak that has them sitting in the top four while Liverpool collapses with six losses in their last seven matches. The episode covers Sunderland’s continued Cinderella story as they defeat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge with a 93rd minute winner, cementing their legitimacy as a promoted side with one of the Premier League’s strongest defenses, though questions remain about fixture sustainability. Extended analysis focuses on Liverpool’s defensive crisis particularly at wing-back positions, leading to Ishaan’s increasingly confident prediction that Slot will get sacked before Amorim, which sparks debates about whether last season’s success was just riding Klopp’s coattails. The hosts dissect Newcastle’s attacking struggles despite moderate scoring and their solid defense anchored by Trippier’s resurgent form, Arsenal maintaining their fortress-like defense with minimal shots conceded, and Aston Villa’s upset victory over Manchester City. Significant discussion centers on whether form players like Welbeck and Tiago have reached the same level as struggling superstars like Isak, with the consensus being “form is temporary, class is permanent” despite current point totals suggesting otherwise. Waiver wire recommendations emphasize Brighton assets during their favorable fixture run, Fulham players including the underrated Lukic, and various defensive options as CBIT points continue dominating fantasy scoring. Trade negotiations feature Ishaan attempting to swap goalkeeper and defender packages for Vineeth’s underperforming midfielder Pino, which gets declined, followed by a dramatic live trade between Rudra and Ishaan where Senesi gets traded for Kerkez despite immediate second-guessing and attempts to cancel. League standings show Raman extending his winning streak to six games with an astounding 63% of his points coming from waiver pickups rather than draft selections, proving his mastery of the format, while Vineeth quietly climbs to second place on a four-game winning streak, and defending champion Ashwin finally breaks through with his first victory of the season thanks to Eli Kroupié’s breakout performance. The episode concludes with predictions heavily favoring Ishaan over Vineeth in their upcoming matchup due to Haaland facing Bournemouth at home, and universal agreement that Raman has essentially already won the league.

The Banter League
Ep 9: GW8 review, Discussing Sleepers, Waiver Pickups, Trade Banter and League Predictions

In the ninth episode of Banter League, hosts Rudra and Ishaan welcome the league leader and GOAT Raman along with the “jinx master” Rishab, as Vineeth gallivants in Japan and Ishaan rushes off to a wedding after 15 minutes. The episode celebrates Manchester United’s stunning 2-1 victory over Liverpool with passionate debates about whether Amorim deserves credit or if Liverpool simply bottled it, featuring Ishaan’s bold prediction that Slot will get sacked before Amorim does, which everyone immediately dismisses as attention-seeking hot take. Liverpool’s defensive crisis becomes a running joke as the hosts dissect how Tsimikas somehow had a better game than both starting wing-backs, leading to discussions about their four-game losing streak and whether Salah is washed or just saving himself for a Saudi payday. The episode dives deep into the season’s paradigm shift where defensive contribution points have made boring defenders more valuable than exciting attackers, with Raman smugly explaining his 5-4-1 formation strategy that’s propelling his five-game win streak while everyone else scrambles to copy it. Extended sleeper pick analysis focuses on Sunderland’s defensive assets dominating fantasy despite easy fixtures, prompting debates about whether owners should sell high before reality hits. Trade negotiations devolve into chaos with Rishab and Rudra proposing increasingly ridiculous deals including multi-player swaps that nobody wants, while Raman sits back deflecting compliments about his team by insisting he’s “just been lucky” despite clearly dominating everyone. The hosts provide waiver recommendations. League standings show Raman comfortably on top after his winning streak, the middle pack desperately trying to climb up, and defending champion still winless through eight game weeks.

The Banter League
Ep 8: GW7 Review, Trade Talk, Waiver wire chat, Live Trades, Star Players Prospects and Classic League Banter

The Banter League hosts—Rudra, Vineeth, and the returning Ishaan—lament the "most dreaded" international break , which everyone agrees is only useful for tracking the critical player injuries that will ruin everyone's FPL draft teams. The crew dives into a chaotic Game Week 7: Ishaan boasts about Manchester United's dominant victory , while the other hosts revel in Liverpool's recent "horrid" form and the end of their lucky last-minute wins. The episode's key FPL Draft Strategy debate centers on the insanity of trading an asset like Salah for the in-form Semenyo. The hosts also flag major concerns over injuries to Rodri , Ollie Watkins , and Cole Palmer.


The real drama hits during the waiver recommendations when Ishaan makes an "absolutely ridiculous" live trade offer for Mateta, prompting Vineeth to immediately threaten to "push you off the pod". The hosts then manage to recover, offering late-season FPL hidden gem tips, including Mason Mount and Estêvão, and setting up the next round of their league beef. Notably, Raman is on a four-game win streak, entirely fueled by Rudra's earlier prediction that he would finish bottom half.

The Banter League
Ep 7: GW 6 Premier League Chaos, Liverpool's First Loss, Live Trade Disaster and Sunderland's Surprise Run

In the seventh episode of Banter League, hosts Rudra and Vineeth welcome special guest Vijay, who's having what they diplomatically call "a shit start to the season," while regular co-host Ishaan enjoys vacation in Japan. The episode covers a disastrous Game Week 6 where nearly everyone scored embarrassingly low points, Liverpool suffered their first loss to Crystal Palace after dominating all season, Manchester United continued their tradition of disappointing fans by losing to Brentford, and Chelsea collected yet another red card like they're building a collection. The hosts examine league standings where one player remains undefeated and insufferably smug about it, while others cling to hope despite scoring in the low 30s. Extended debates about whether Manchester United's manager deserves more time reach philosophical levels before being interrupted by discussions of Harvey Elliott's playing time. The episode's highlight is the podcast's first-ever live trade where Rudra makes what everyone immediately recognizes as a terrible decision, trading Declan Rice for Harvey Elliott with guest Vijay, prompting Vineeth to repeatedly tell listeners this deal proves guests get special treatment. The hosts provide waiver recommendations while admitting they're probably giving away their own targets, preview the Chelsea versus Liverpool match assuming Chelsea doesn't get another red card, and end with match predictions where Rudra predicts his own loss to maintain proper jinxing protocol.
