Matt and Nick tore up the script, at least partially this week, to discuss the Premier League punishment meted out to Chelsea FC. They talk the listeners through the ruling and give their take on it.

Things aren't much better on the pitch for the Chelsea senior men's side as the lads talk about the Blues' 5-2 defeat away to Paris Saint Germain, (this was recorded before the 3-0 humbling at Stamford Bridge), and the home defeat to Newcastle.

Thank goodness for Chelsea Women, Sonia Bompastor's team triumphed 2-0 over Marc Skinner's Manchester United. It is fair to say that Nick was not best pleased with the Red Devil's Manager's comments after the match.

The Brothers finish the show by paying respects to the families of Amy Carr and Amelia Aplin, who were both goalkeepers. Amy Carr, who played for Chelsea, Arsenal, Reading and England at youth level, died at 35 after a battle with a brain tumour. Amelia played for Oxford and died after collapsing during a Junior Premier League game for Oxford United. We also send our condolences to former Blue Thiago Silva, who sadly lost his mother Angela Maria last week.

In episode 28, The Bridge Brothers take stock of contrasting FPL fortunes. Matt's team, albeit slowly down, is still riding a tide of green arrows, whilst Nick is finding a way to kick start his season.

Despite Matt's good form, he does have Manchester City and Arsenal players that he needs to bench for their blank in game week 31. However, he has since realised that, instead of selling Marc Guéhi like he says on the pod, he can bench all these players if he choses to.

The elder of the sibling's luck seems to be in as, despite missing the deadline to make his changes, he still got a good score, mainly courtesy of Tottenham's Signe Gauspet coming off the bench to claim 17 points. With the lads in attendance at King's Meadow for Chelsea's game against Spurs, Matt does declare that he would like to say thanks to Gauspet for saving his game week despite his deadline incompetence, but wonders if this would see him stray beyond the right side of weird!

Nick also had some success by playing the wall chip which means there is still a chance he could sail up The Bridge Brothers WSL league.

Game deadlines and codes are as follows...

FPL: Game week 31: Friday the 20th of March at 18:30. BN59SG

FWSL, Game Week 18: Saturday the 21st of March at 11:30 FKWAXX

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). FKWAXX

FPL: Game week 30: Friday the 14th of March at 13:30. BN59SG
