With defeats for AFC Croydon against Margate and AFC Wimbledon losing to Bolton Wanderers, it was the Chelsea men's team that lifted the spirits of The Bridge Brothers with their 3-2 come back victory against West Ham. But the lads were bought back down to earth with Chelsea Women's devastating 5-1 defeat away to Manchester City at the Etihad.

The lads talk about this as well as Blues' 2-0 WSL defeat at home to Arsenal as they ask...

Is this the end of the era for the Chelsea Women’s Team?

Amongst the discussion is the future of Bompastor, (will she win Chelsea their first Champions League), the form of key players such as Bright, Kerr and Cuthbert and whether the West London team's poor recent results and dip in performances is actually good news for the WSL.

We also briefly discuss the proposed move of the Chelsea women's team to AFC Wimbledon's home ground, the Cherry Red Records Stadium (aka Plough Lane), and whether this will be a good deal for both clubs. Nick is just excited as it is near Lidl's!

In a role reversal, Matt has had a good week in FPL with Nick unusually not meeting the high standards that he has set himself. Will things change in game week 25?

The chaps discuss goal-keeper choices, a West Ham revival and whether the Black Cats of Sunderland are largely fixture-proof when it comes to Fantasy Premier League.

Matt's good fantasy football week continued in that he is now top of the Bridge Brothers' mini-est of mini-leagues, (you can find out how to compete against us below). He would have possibly beaten Nick's better score this week had he not benched Olivia Godfrey's 11 points. To refer to Oscar Wilde, the consistencies in life are: "death, taxes and Matt leaving his better performing players on the bench."

As ever, the game week deadlines for FPL and FWSL are included below, as well as the joining codes for our mini-leagues. Could you stop Matt winning their FWSL league?

FWSL: Game Week 15: Saturday the 7th of February at 11:00. FKWAXX

FPL: Game week 23: Friday the 6th of February at 18:30. BN59SG

The Bridge Brothers begin by asking what inspired a mystery FPL player to captain Patric Dorgu in Manchester United's 2-0 Victory over Man City? Did he have a Biff style sporting almanac?

When it comes to their teams, Matt changes the subject as much as he can instead of talking about his side's performance and this leads the brothers to speak about last weekend's AFCON Final between Morocco and Senegal.

Coming back to all things Fantasy, Nick is again making the changes and it looks like Saka is on his way out of his side. Matt also gleans his brothers' knowledge to improve his own fortunes.

With the lads back at Stamford Bridge this Saturday to watch Chelsea V Arsenal in the WSL, the chat turns to the Aerial app and their decisions for Fantasy Women's Super League. Will Matt go with Borbe in goal against his beloved Blues?

Apologies too in that, while advocating for Liverpool's Women's team, Matt refers to Red's boss Gareth Taylor as Gareth Evans. As you'll hear, it wasn't his day for WSL manager's names this week.

Nick also tries his hand at a new catch phrase for the pod.

This week's deadlines and league joining codes are included below...

FWSL, Game Week 13: Friday the 23rd of January at 18:00. FKWAXX

FPL: Game week 23: Saturday the 24th of January at 11:00. BN59SG
