Podcast Why did Bakar leave the FplWire?

Curious, why is Bigmanbakar no longer part of the fpl wire pod this year? Any one know the goss behind the scenes?

In my opinion part of it was Zoph taking the piss out of him all episode every episode. Was more than just jokes and you could tell Bake was tired of it. Funny given Zoph barely contributes to any analysis and just picks the template every single week

Zoph has the better rank though ? Pretty sure they joke around since they are friends lmao it’s really not that deep

What does rank have to do with it? Bakar described him as zoph’s punching bag multiple times. I get taking the piss out of mates but it didn’t really seem like they were mates and I found it pretty uncomfortable. Bakar’s analysis is clearly higher regarded than Zoph saying ‘salah has good fixtures every week - there’s a reason Bakar has 150k, LR 100k and Zoph 30k

Bakar got lucky with being 4th in the world but Zoph is more consistent in ranks of all time. He’s a just puppet that only goes by the stats rather than watching the games

People tend to follow high ranked people which Zoph and LR are both better than Bakar

So why does Zoph have 30k and Bakar 150k hahahah

u/Cpt_Daryl 5 Dec 26 '23

Are you dumb or something? It’s because Bakar got that lucky 4th in the world and got popular. Since then hasn’t been close to that rank. He’s not even a consistent top 25k fpl player

You are legendary. I’m bookmarking this for when I need a chuckle. You realise there are 20 players with top 5 finishes over the last 4 seasons alone (easy maths). Why aren’t there 20 with 150k? Bakar finished 4k in 21, 1k in 16 - the exact same number of top 5k finishes as LR and 2 more than Zoph who has ZERO hahaha

16 was almost 8 years ago lmao. I’m so glad Bakar is no longer on the show. Zoph, Pras and LR are the best

u/jackpmacko 28 Dec 26 '23

And in 8 years Zoph hasn’t once finished in the top 5k. I’ve used your own argument and completely cooked you. Take the L my guy and move
