Haaland Captaincy and the August Delusion
From Points on the Bench · 9:19
Show by 3Peaks
The season opener where both hosts reveal their starting ranks and immediately justify why they benched their premium striker. This episode establishes the core tension between aggressive captaincy rotations and the conservative 'set and forget' approach. Listeners learn how the first gameweek captain call shapes psychological momentum for the entire season, and why August transfers feel like genius until they catastrophically aren't. The hosts read their worst opening-week decisions aloud, including at least one captain choice that aged like milk by kickoff, and make their first wildly overconfident prediction about which midfielder will outscore every forward.
