more -
Club x Club: Tottenham Hotspur
The Club x Club series takes on the summer's second-biggest spenders, Tottenham, and it's a minefield: a raft of new signings, a pile of injuries and returning players, and a stack of transfer rumours the lads have no answers to yet. Lots of question marks, and a De Zerbi side that could go…
more -
Club x Club: Nottingham Forest
The Club x Club series turns to Nottingham Forest, and Karl, who volunteered for this one, thinks their assets are about to be badly undervalued. Glasner ball at Forest, with better players than he had at Palace, sets up a wing-back-and-defender goldmine that the lads reckon most drafters will...
-
Club x Club: Fulham
The Club x Club series gets to Fulham, and Tim doesn't hide the sarcasm: this is a squad he fancies for the drop, now run by a rookie manager fresh off a rough Real Madrid stint, having lost their set-piece taker, their striker and more. Not a lot to work with, but the lads go hunting for value...
-
Club x Club: Sunderland

-

-
Club x Club: Manchester United
The Club x Club series takes on Manchester United, with Sean leading a squad he calls the most confusing to line up of any team he's researched. A first full season under Carrick, a settled roster on paper, and yet almost no certainty about who plays where once you get past the top three names.…
more -
Club x Club: Bournemouth
The Club x Club series answers a flood of Discord requests and gets to Bournemouth, a side with another Iraola-style presser in Marco Rose picking up where the old boss left off. A quiet squad rebuild, a key injury in midfield, and European football all factor into how the lads value a team that...
-
Club x Club: Leeds United
The Club x Club series turns to Leeds, and the framing question is simple: is Harry Wilson a must-draft or not? Tim says yes, Sean says no, and that split runs through the whole episode.

-
Club x Club: Liverpool
The Club x Club series heads to Anfield, with Karl on research duty for a Liverpool side he genuinely thinks could be special under Iraola.

-
Club x Club: Manchester City
The Club x Club series takes on the puzzle of Manchester City under Maresca, with resident Doku expert Sean leading the way. A new manager who may rotate less than Pep, a huge set-piece vacancy left by Bernardo Silva's exit, and a formation nobody can quite pin down make this a squad full of…
more -
Club x Club: Hull
The Club x Club series reaches Hull City, and the hosts don't sugarcoat it: this is a promoted side most people have tipped for the drop, and researching them, in Karl's words, was a genuinely depressing exercise. Lots of Premier League names on paper, a defence-first setup under a manager who'll...
-
Club x Club: Everton
The Club x Club series takes on Everton, with Sean, a self-described reformed James Garner hater, leading the research. A quiet window dominated by outgoings, one huge unresolved question over a marquee loanee's future, and a midfield picture that shifts with every rumour make this a trickier…
more -
Club x Club: Ipswich
The Club x Club series reaches Ipswich, the third promoted side, with Sean on research duty. A summer of heavy business at Portman Road, but only a handful of names matter for Fantrax, and the honest verdict is that nothing here screams "draft me, I'll win you a title." The lads land on two clear...
-
Club x Club: Crystal Palace
The Club x Club series turns to Crystal Palace, a recent Fantrax favourite now going through real upheaval. Glasner's gone, replaced by Pierre Sage off the back of one overachieving season at Lens, and Karl (who did the research) walks a squad that has the whole group nervous. New manager, new...
-
Club x Club: Coventry
The Club x Club series heads to Coventry City, a promoted side with Frankie Lampard back in the Premier League and a brutal opening run. Tim leads the deep dive, and the honest verdict up front sets the tone: there's no must-draft on this team. Everything here is a late-round flier or a…
more -
Club x Club: Aston Villa
The Club x Club series rolls on to Aston Villa, with Karl leading the deep dive. Last year's famous slow starters who ended up top five again, Villa head into the season handcuffed by PSR: Rogers and Tielemans sold, Emiliano Buendía's future uncertain, and one of their best defenders being…
more -
Club x Club: Brentford

-
Club x Club: Chelsea
The Club x Club series takes on the biggest puzzle of the preseason: Chelsea. Karl leads the deep dive into a squad that seems to sign a new player every four days, with Sean along to help untangle who actually starts, what formation Xabi Alonso lands on, and which of the endless options are…
more -
Club x Club: Brighton
The Club x Club series heads to Brighton, with Sean leading the deep dive. Brighton have long been one of the most underrated Fantrax squads, but with a Conference League campaign, and a quiet-but-busy window make this a team to tread carefully with. Sean plants a flag on the veteran the group...
-
Club x Club: Arsenal
The club-by-club series kicks off with Arsenal (sorry, Bournemouth). Tim, Karl and Sean set the format that'll run all series: the players they love at their ADP, the ones they think are risky at the price, and the sleepers worth a late pick or an early-season waiver watch. They work through the...
