The Athletic FPL pod

The General is thoughtful and methodical, and he delivers the knowledge in a cool, clear manner. All killer, no filler. Love it!

Great listen

The general is a fun listen and his podcast gleams some light on why he’s so successful at FPL!
Hi im John

Great podcast

This podcast is extremely helpful and easy to listen to. Mark does a great job keeping us in the loop with all his insider information. I’m doing well this year in FPL and I feel it’s because I’ve become a Patreon member of his. Check it out if you want to do better.

Class

One of three top podcast on FPL. Fresh perspective with the pedigree as a manager to back it up.

Here Comes The General

@FPLGeneral is a smart, humble, and driven FPL manager who provides great insight for novice FPL managers and seasoned veterans. His podcast is a great weekly digest of all things FPL. His advice, which I greatly appreciated: you shouldn’t try to match me, you should try to beat me. -@nrsquire

Well Done

Just listened to my first episode (number 11 I believe) and thoroughly enjoyed it. Just the right length and pace. Good overview of GW2. Well done General - I would suspect I’ll be tuning in again next week! FPL Foot Fighter.

come for the FPL tips, stay for the accent

everything you want in an FPL podcast from a top top player of the game. great insights, no filler, not prone to going on and on. and I could listen to the accent for hours. I consume a lot of FPL content but this is the only podcast I listen to as soon as it's out. excited the General's promised to pod more regularly.

5 Star General Knowledge

I've been playing fpl for a few years now and have gotten more serious over the past 2 years. The has been a staple each year and it's been this guy. General speaks to everyone and provides great insight into strategy of the game as well as great overall football know all. If your looking to make improvements in your fpl game this is the guy who will lead all your troops to victory! Good luck and keep your ears open to the words he speaks!
