With Tim away, Gary steps into the host’s chair for this week’s episode of the Fantrax & Football podcast, joined by Karl and special guest Sean (The Oracle). The lads break down the key talking points from Gameweek 16, highlighting the performances, surprises, and frustrations that mattered most for fantasy managers.

From there, attention turns to the waiver wire as they identify priority pickups for Gameweek 17 and look ahead to the growing impact of AFCON on squads and rotations. With short-term streamers, longer-term holds, and strategic advice for navigating absences, this episode is packed with practical takeaways to help managers stay ahead over the busy period.

This week’s Fantrax Gazette brings another full sweep across all three divisions, with trade fever taking over the Championship, big scores popping up throughout the leagues, and momentum swings on both the promotion and relegation fronts. The lads highlight some standout performances, a few eyebrow-raising trades, and the fast-tightening races as the Cup draw approaches.

The episode also features an instantly iconic voice note that once heard, can't be unheard.

With Karl back in the studio after a week away - and Matt having covered admirably as the late-game substitute - the lads dive into a packed Mailbag full of listener questions ahead of Gameweek 16.

This episode covers everything from buy-low targets, lingering Bruno Fernandes regret, and whether Bournemouth’s numbers suggest a genuine turnaround, to Cunha’s value, Brentford’s upcoming fixtures, and classic Fantrax dilemmas like Monday-night lineup anxiety and dropping a player right before they explode.

They also revisit recent listener trades, debate the true value of key Arsenal assets, and wonder whether some players are simply “unownable” based on vibes alone. The show wraps with Start of the Week picks and a look toward GW16 strategy.
