Hello and welcome to this week's off the bench. My name is Asse. And I'm Oscar, FPL focal. Excellent. Well,

0:23.3

Game Week 35 has finished. It was a bit of a roller coaster, let's say for FPL managers. The lowest average

0:30.3

point score since Game Week 28, two own goals, multiple benchings, especially at Man City, Gundwin missing a penalty, Leno saving a

0:39.6

penalty, shock results that impacted the relegation and European battles. Oscar, we got so much

0:45.4

to talk about. Let's start with reviewing Game Week 35. How did it go for you? Yeah, it was a good

0:50.9

week to have a bad week in many ways. I'll have to say that right off the bat.

0:58.4

So, you know, if you ended up scoring in the 30s, maybe even 20s, you know,

1:21.6

And this week, I did get a green arrow.

1:23.2

It wasn't great.

1:24.2

It was a stressful game week.

1:25.4

I went for Salah Captain, who really carried the

1:28.2

game week for me with the 10-pointer. And obviously, the Harlan Blank as well helped a lot,

1:33.6

considering how many people went for him as captain. I did the same last game week as well in

1:37.7

34 the week before. And Sala outscored him then as well. But it's a difficult watch, you know, sticking the city game on,

1:45.0

given our incredible Harlan's is. But yeah, I did okay in the end. How did you get on?
