Hello and welcome to this week's off the bench podcast from the Premier League. I'm Lee from

0:20.7

FPL family and I'm FPL Harry.

0:23.2

So Harry, we've still got the big match between Newcastle and Brighton coming up on Thursday evening to round off Game Week 36.

0:30.5

So things still could completely turn around, some captain C still in play. But most FPL managers will likely have multiple players left to play therefore.

1:21.9

So I feel like we're only halfway there. How about you? Nice. Yeah. So I'm on 69 points so far.
