@IanRowly38 @chris_sutton73 @StatmanDave I’m sorry we won’t be there to help you with that Ian and we wish you all the very best with it. Was already looking forward to Clough & Taylor’s differential Gwk 1 draft. Thank you for listening.

[Alistair Bruce-Ball @alibruceball]

With the new season of #FPL about to launch I’m very sad to say that Fantasy 606, more recently the FPL pod from BBC Sport, will not be returning 😔

@chris_sutton73 @StatmanDave & I absolutely loved doing it and it’s our amazing listeners’ contributions who really made it 👏🏻

[Alistair Bruce-Ball @alibruceball]

Really touched by all the responses to news about the FPL pod today and the little part it’s played in people’s lives.

Thank you ❤️

We would have loved to carry on doing it and we’re really going to miss it.

I’m sorry we’re not going to be part of your #FPL fix next season

[Alistair Bruce-Ball @alibruceball]

But the biggest thank you from me is to Clough, Taylor and Dave for making the last 6 years a right good laugh ❤️

I’ll keep the BBC Sport league going and will post the code once that is up-and-running

So for the very last time it’s good luck Chris and it’s good luck Dave 👍🏻

[Alistair Bruce-Ball @alibruceball]

Thank you for listening, for sending your e-mails, your poems, your songs and for managing the listeners’ teams - we are really going to miss it!

A huge thank you to our brilliant producers - Kelleigh, Grace, Chris, Jamie, Joe, Harrison, Jack, Emily, Metin, Elliot, Michael ❤️
