The Bridge Brothers Presents...

Double Fantasy

Season 1, Ep. 6

To reference the title of the John Lennon and Yoko Ono album, this is a "Double Fantasy" album as Matt and Nick not only talk their plans for Fantasy Premier League, but they also discuss what they are going to do with their new Fantasy WSL teams.


When it comes to FPL, Nick wonders whether Liverpool's signing of Alexander Isak means that Ekiteke is bench bound, or if Red's new record signing will have to earn his place in Arne Slot's side. Matt, for his part, ponders a Salah - Haaland team up as the lads go into game week 4.


We then move onto all things Fantasy WSL where the brothers' quickly realise that most of their WSL knowledge revolves around their beloved Chelsea as well as the performances of some of the England's star names such as Greenwood, Toone and Russo. It seems like playing the WSL game will do wonders for improving their knowledge of the league and women's football in general.


Much to Nick's amusement the code to join our WSL league is: FKWAXX


The deadline to make your WSL tactics, transfers and captaincy decisions is the 12th of September at 18:30.


For FPL, you can join the league via the code: BN59SG

  • 27. Blank Game Weeks and an Aerial WSL Lament

    40:14||Season 1, Ep. 27
    Matt is riding on the crest of a green arrow wave as the Bridge Brothers sail into episode 27. The question is whether he can keep the good momentum going with blank game weeks on the horizon. A good chip strategy will be needed. When it comes to the young of the two siblings, Nick's charges need to re-discover their form if they want to finish strongly and ensure that the younger of the siblings doesn't decide to retire from the game completely next season.Alongside sharing their FPL experiences and advice, Matt and Nick also turn their attention to the Women's game with the WSL returning this weekend. It is a bittersweet feeling with the news that the Aerial Fantasy game will be discontinued after this season. Reflecting on this story, the Brothers reflect on how integral the game has been when it comes to improving their WSL knowledge as well as how invaluable it is for women's football in the UK too.The chaps are hoping that someone can sweep in and save the much loved Aerial WSL, but if indeed this is the last season we play it, game weeks and codes for the upcoming fixtures are included below...FWSL, Game Week 17: Sunday the 15th of March at 11:00 (Mother’s Day).

  • 25. Victory over Villains and an FA Cup Wrexit!

    33:27||Season 1, Ep. 25
    With a 4-1 win over Aston Villa and a 2-4 victory over Wrexham, it's dreamland for The Bridge Brothers as the Chelsea men head to Paris. As you'll find in next week's show, those dreams were ended at the Parc des Princes, but we'll stay upbeat for now.With Chelsea looking better in the Premier League, the chat includes references to "new R9 elect" Jõao Pedro, goalkeeper dilemmas, squad selection, controversial centre circle huddles and, of course, VAR. The Video Assistant Referee was actually on the Blues' side for the two games covered this week.When it comes to Wrexham, Nick takes a dim view of the BBC's Rob and Ryan love-in and what the financial model of the Red Dragons means for the English football pyramid. As a big Welcome to Wrexham fan, Matt does his best to air a different point of view.If you like to join the conversation, you can so do via the following ways...InstagramYouTubeTik-TokBlue SkyX (mainly known as Twitter)Thanks as ever to Shane speed, aka Sea of Days, for his music for the podcast.Please also check out the latest episode of Matt's other podcast, Homer's Podyssey: Conversations on Purpose, where he speaks to the theatre maker, producer, beatboxer and writer, Mr Conrad Murray.Á Bientôt!Matt and Nick.
  • 24. Blues Must add Defending and Discipline to their Arsenal.

    39:59||Season 1, Ep. 24
    The "Blues Must add Defending and Discipline to their Arsenal" and, thankfully, in their following Premier League game they did when it came to the 4-1 victory against Aston Villa.However, in this episode of The Bridge Brothers Podcast, which was recorded after the defeat to Arsenal, the lads lament more bad set piece defending and red cards which have hampered Chelsea in their bid to be challengers to the Premier League title.The lads talk the inexperience of youth, managerial puppets and frustrations around the ownership model.They also look forward to the FA Cup game against Wrexham, in the "who can buy titles derby," as well as the game against PSG. Surely, with Rosenior's Ligue Une experience, Chelsea can yet again beat their Parisian rivals?If you like to join the conversation, you can so do via the following ways...InstagramYouTubeTik-TokBlue SkyX (mainly known as Twitter)Thanks as ever to Shane speed, aka Sea of Days, for his music for the podcast.

  • 23. Burnley draw Claret from the Blues.

    33:25||Season 1, Ep. 23
    In a slight change to our format, the Bridge Brothers are going back to their Chelsea roots and focusing on all things Blue, including the under 18s 3-0 victory against Southampton, the Women's fantastic FA Cup victory over Manchester United and, (perhaps less enthusiastically), the Chelsea men's senior team 1-1 home draw with Burnley. And it is this game against the Clarets that the lads focus on which brings up topics such as team discipline, inexperience, defending set-pieces and the future of players such as Liam Delap. Should Nicolas Jackson come in and get his place back from him?We also declare an emphatic no when it comes to the racist abuse experienced by Chelsea's Wesley Fofana. As Nick says, there is no place for discrimination in society and certainly not on the Bridge Brothers Podcast.One correction to add is that Matt mentioned Strasbourg won 3-0 against Lyon, whereas the final score was in fact 3-1.Thanks as ever to Shane speed, aka Sea of Days, for his music for the podcast. Incidentally, Shane's team Mansfield did what Chelsea couldn't do last weekend and defeat Burnley!You can join the conversation at...InstagramYouTubeTik-TokBlue SkyX (mainly known as Twitter)Please also check out the latest episode of Matt's other podcast, Homer's Podyssey: Conversations on Purpose, where he speaks to the theatre maker, producer, beatboxer and writer, Mr Conrad Murray.See you soon!Matt and Nick.
  • 26. The Point(s) of No Return

    38:57||Season 1, Ep. 26
    In episode 26, Matt and Nick lament another tough game week with both siblings praying for strong performances from Bruno Fernandes and Bryan Mbeumo in Manchester United's game against Everton.Perhaps ironically, it is the Chelsea triple-up which has been at the centre of the Bridge Brothers' anguish which leads Matt to conclude that he needs to trust his gut more when it comes to playing FPL. There's props for Fulham, consensus about "Doctor" Tottenham being a team to target and a bit of pizza chat thrown in for good measure.If you fancy your chances against the lads, the game week deadlines and league codes are included below.FWSL, Game Week 17: Sunday the 15th of March at 11:00 (Mother’s Day).

    It's episode 25 and Matt and Nick return with tales of a mixed game week 26. At the time of recording, Matt was holding out hope that Gabriel would make his dreams come true in Arsenal's away game against Wolves after he triple captained the defender. *Spoiler, he didn't!With the elder of the siblings left wondering what could have been, Nick is wringing the changes for game week 27 as the Bridge Brothers go again in their FPL adventure.It's better news for Matt in WSL as some good fortune sees him continue to dominate the Brothers' Aerial WSL league.If you fancy your chances against the lads, the game week deadlines and league codes are included below.FWSL, Game Week 17: Sunday the 15th of March at 11:00 (Mother’s Day).

    29:03||Season 1, Ep. 21
    After offering his admin services to help with Crystal Palace's poor record of paperwork, Matt starts this week's topic which is..."Is the future bright for Chelsea women?"This question is off the back of a much needed win for the Blues who beat Tottenham away 2-0, all under the watchful gaze of the home fans, our travelling supporters and pop superstar Madonna!With there being a number of NBA Star Giannis Antetokounmpo joining Alexis Ohanian's investment group and the Head of Women's Football Paul Green departing, the Bridge Brothers ask what the future has in store for the club and whether we should be worried about being priced out when it comes to following the women's senior team too?As ever, you can also join the conversation via any, or all, of the following platforms...InstagramYouTubeTik-TokBlue SkyX (mainly known as Twitter)The songs used in this podcast are Duality and Where Do I Begin? by the always amazing Sea of Days.Please also check out the latest episode of Matt's other podcast, Homer's Podyssey: Conversations on Purpose, where he speaks to the theatre maker, producer, beatboxer and writer, Mr Conrad Murray.A la prochaine!Matt and Nick.
  • 24. All Aboard for FWSL Game Week 16

    28:44||Season 1, Ep. 24
    Matt and Nick are in the thick of the action as this week episode starts as game week 26 begins.While we spoke about this double game week on the last show, the lads reveal their squad choices for the latest Premier League run-in as well as discuss their performances from 25. It's steady progress for Matt, (aka the over-thinker tinker-man), but Nick needs to stop the rot with his charges struggling for another round of fixtures. With Matt triple captaining Arsenal's Gabriel and Nick making some shrewd tactical moves, will the brothers be swimming in green arrows or crashing through the leagues in a sea of red? With the FA Cup taking over next week in the men's game, there is more time to talk Fantasy WSL with Matt continuing to lead the Bridge Brothers League although Nick's team continues to perform well in what is the brothers' apprenticeship season in the game.Like Madonna, who was there to see Spurs VS Chelsea in the WSL last week, you can "get into the groove" and join our leagues and compete agains us. Details are below...FWSL, Game Week 16: Friday the 13th of February at 18:00. FKWAXXFPL: Game week 27: Saturday the 21st of February at 13:30.
