0:14.8	I'm Mark McGettigan aka the FPL General. I've had three top 500 finishes during my time as a fantasy Premier League manager and I want to help you to be the very best fantasy manager you can be. So join me every week as I share my tips, tricks and insight on the
0:20.4	athletics FPL podcast on Apple, Spotify and all the usual places
0:25.6	and listen ad free on the athletic app. The Athletic. Welcome to the athletic football podcast I'm'm Ian Irving and incredibly we're just hours away now from the new EFL season.
0:57.0	72 clubs are back in action this weekend, so a lot to get our heads around around especially if you're still on holiday or

2:11.8	you start in in preseason which in this case
