Top Bins With Twins - An FPL Podcast

In this week’s episode of Top Bins with Twins, we dive into one of the biggest dilemmas facing FPL managers ahead of GW12: how to replace Gabriel without tanking your team’s structure. We break down three standout candidates: Virgil van Dijk, the premium safety play with attacking upside; Nico O’Reilly, the exciting budget enabler opening doors across midfield; and the ultra-bold, mega-differential punt in Van den Berg as Brentford’s fixtures start to swing.

But the analytics are only half the story. We also get into the eye test and how it uncovers hidden gems before the algorithm catches up. We explain what we look for when scanning games live:

- Player positioning and who’s consistently arriving in dangerous zones

- Timing of attacking runs and which players anticipate play rather than react

- Confidence indicators such as pressing intensity, ball-demanding behavior, and those subtle patterns that reveal a player ready to pop

If you want to stay ahead of the curve, find value nobody else sees, and make the smartest Gabriel swap possible, this episode is packed with insight. Tune in and take your FPL to top bins.
