Wildcards: Jermaine Jenas & Jermaine Pennant Launch Explosive New Football Podcast That Brings Fantasy Football Obsession to Life
Former England internationals and fan-favourite pundits Jermaine Jenas and Jermaine Pennant announce the launch of their brand new podcast Wildcards on Friday 15th August – a weekly no-holds-barred football podcast where FPL obsession meets real-life dressing room drama, transfer tales and weekly chaos from the beautiful game.
The show rips the roof off your fantasy football group chat and brings the banter, rivalry, and behind-the-scenes secrets straight to your ears – from two players who’ve lived it at the highest level.
“We’re bringing the arguments, the disasters, and the madness from our own FPL group chat into the spotlight - with no filter” says Jermaine Jenas.
“We’re giving football fans access to the kind of chat they wish they heard on TV” adds Jermaine Pennant.
What to Expect on Wildcards:
Fantasy League Drama: Weekly wins, wildcard disasters, triple captain regrets – and the kind of trash talk you’d expect from two ex-pros who still really want to win.
Unfiltered Football Stories: No scripts. No polish. Just real stories from England camps, Premier League dressing rooms, and the player’s WhatsApp groups.
Insider Access: JJ and Pennant are still close to top players. Expect voice notes, rumours from the training ground, and off-the-record insight you won’t hear on mainstream media.
Weekly Mayhem: Transfer reactions, hot takes, forfeits, and fan shout-outs. It’s the FPL battleground you didn’t know you needed.
With weekly episodes dropping every Friday - from Aug 15th - Wildcards is set to become the go-to listen for fans who love fantasy football and want real talk from real players who’ve walked the walk.

International break or not, Jermaine Jenas and Jermaine Pennant are back with Wildcards – and this week it’s pure chaos.
Gameweek 3 hit hard: JJ’s captaining Richarlison blew up in his face, Pennant’s “free hit masterplan” fell flat, and forfeits get served. Meanwhile, Producer Sam went and bagged 92 points to top the Wildcards league – but was it genius or just dumb luck?
The lads also go in on:
- Watkins, Isak and the big striker dilemmas ahead of GW4
- Why VAR has killed the vibe – and how refs with no playing experience are ruining football
- The Marc Guéhi transfer saga – did Palace block his dream move to Liverpool?
- “The Game’s Gone” – JJ and Pennant call out corner-flag bookings, set-piece coaches, and fans filming the opposition
- Transfer window winners and losers: Liverpool’s big spend, Arsenal’s gamble, Spurs’ green fixtures
