The Onion Bag

We may not be here every week, but nothing wrong with a wee socially distant TOB sporadic check-in every now and then! Join us for our first delve this season into all things fpl as mixed fortunes and wild card fever dominate the early headlines.

Oh hi there! What did we miss? A lot it would seem, but there's still a A LOT to play for as we enter the final week of another exciting fpl season. TOB League is going to the wire, as is the race for The Onion Throne. Dive in with us two footed, one last time...

What's the bloody point eh? Damned if you do, damned if you don't. With a heavy heart we delve into mistakes made from the previous gameweek and plan for the blanks and doubles ahead. Play for pride or push the pineapple button? Decisions, decisions...

It's time for a comeback. Not just to podcasting but to rise like a phoenix from the flames and re-ignite a floundering season...... maybe? Wildcards, double gameweeks and blank gameweeks inbound. Much to discuss!

It's been two weeks but feels like the game 'week' has been live for two months! It's still not even finished yet but we must check in and assess where we're at. It's time to plan for blank game weeks and possibly time to let chaos reign for those of us not where we need to be. That is if the gameweek. Ever. Ends.

Oh god there's a lot to sift through here. The rubble of a disastrous gwk 23 (for most) and an incomplete 'double' gwk 24 where many are being punished by unfortunate trip c injuries. Lets just dive in and try and make some sense of it all, shall we?

The best episode of TOB ever? Not for me to say, but there is a new jingle, a great nickname, an INSANE score in TOB League and a very full mailbag to sift through. Why don't you be the judge...

England's Rose Harry Kane is gubbed so our attention turns to replacement fire power. Like for like? or an opportunity to get some money in the bank? One eye is squinting at the first double game week of the season on the horizon but do you need to move now or will you be rewarded with patience? Posturing and musings on all things FPL lie within...

The last TOB of the year. The last TOB of the DECADE! Finishing up 2019 full of hope after some festive gains. It's not too early to plan for dgw's, there's a raft of new differentials putting their hand up and it's ever so tight atop TOB League! Much to discuss..

Deck the (henry) halls with boughs of holly as it's time for your annual festive treat! Interesting captain choices, influential assets without fixtures and a preposterous rappers aesthetic dominate the airwaves for your last chance to stick it in the onion bag before Santa Clause is coming to town...

The magic of the cup is here! So too is festive squad rotation so best make sure your house is in order. Someone is flying particularly high atop TOB League and there's an inquest to someone who's struggling in the money league. Fingers crossed there'll be no technical issues this week and we can all get stuck in...

There seems to be an issue with the file uploaded last night. Perhaps Guy's comments on this weeks #stenchofpotench were too hot to handle and they shut us down. Regardless, here is the end of the episode that seems to be cut off! Apologies for any inconvenience!

Do not adjust your set, you may not have any MNF but as the early gameweek beckons, here's a dose of MNTOB to get you through. There's a deep dive inquest as Stuart attempts to stop the rot. Maybe a Liverpool defensive triple up like the TOB League leader is the way to go?! One things for sure, stubborn or staunch, it's time to change tact on approach to Vardy.

I must be honest, we recorded this then I went to the pub so I don't remember the in's and out's of what we discussed now that I have to write a blurb about it. We definitely talked about Spurs. Pretty sure I was lamenting Tierney and Arsenal and whilst Guy wasn't admitting it, he's definitely got regrets about the Sheffield United defensive double up. All that and MORE (probably).

nine gameweeks in 40 days! That's the headline so you need to be thinking about your whole squad. Should you be ditching all City assets? Loading up on the Premierships 3rd best defence? Or taking a punt on a highly controversial stench of potench? Find out now...

Some belatedly spoOoOoOky sounds book end all the hot button FPL issues of the week. Goal scoring defenders, stalwarts becoming differentials and the unlikely transformation of Bournemouth. All this and more...

Some late night, well crafted metaphors address the state of play in a couple of FPL teams with a few struggling cogs in the machine. Pep Bingo feels more impossible than ever to predict and for those wondering if there'll ever be high scoring game weeks again, perhaps the answers to these questions will lie within...

No better feeling than having another international break in the rear view mirror. Back to proper FPL business and it's important we establish what happens when the Pukki Party runs its course. To what extent are United going to get battered this week and what bandwagon is everyone seemingly jumping on? All this and more in an episode which Guy described as, 'dynamic'.

There's a collective sense at TOB Towers that we need to kick start our seasons. There's discussion of how to undo some woeful transfer planning, reluctant praise or The Rat's Leicester team and question marks over the availability of City's Rolls Royce midfielders..

A slightly sleepier than usual edition of The Onion Bag delves into the weekends massacre at the Etihad, discusses some controversial transfer moves and states definitively who are and who are not the best teams in the Premiership not named Liverpool or Manchester City. All that plus some gushing over the impending debut of one Kieran Tierney.
