Hello everyone, welcome back to this week's off the bench podcast. I'm As from FPL Blackbox.

0:20.1

And I'm Oscar, FPL Focal. Well, Oscar, Game Week 11,

0:23.9

feels a long time ago now, but it was rubbish for a lot of FPL managers, myself included.

0:29.2

I was a bit worried going into this game, we were going to see the same thing. But Sunday came

0:33.8

along. It saw the big FPL assets reward their owners, 16 points each for Salah and

0:38.7

Harland, returns for the likes of Watkins, Bowen and Derby 2. How did it go for you? Yeah, it was a good

0:44.2

week actually for once. The two moves that I made were I sold Botman and Byrne, who obviously were both

0:49.7

injured, and I brought in Saliba and Maguire. It was contemplating Gabrielle, who is a bit cheaper than Saliba,

0:56.9

but I thought, I'll go for Saliba, you know, a bit more nailed.

0:59.8

And of course, Maguire, only 4.2 mil.

1:02.2

So I had exact money for that.

1:03.4

And it came out nicely in the end with Saliba scoring, obviously,

and McGuire keeping a clean sheet.

1:08.2

Yeah, it's good.

1:08.9

Good week, all and all. I mean, that's pretty nice. Two defensive transfers, one gets a clean sheet, one gets a goal. You must be delighted

1:14.9

with that. Yeah, I really was, yeah. I mean, the captaincy as well. Obviously, Sal, I got the

1:19.2

two goals earlier in the day on Sunday night as well. And I was second at captaincy, and I had a feeling about Harland, you know, because he blanked last game week in Game 11 with the injury. And I felt like a lot of people might be overlooking him after that,

1:31.6

but obviously he got the brace in the Champions League midweek. So I went for it. In the end,

1:35.5

he actually matched Salah, so dead even there, the Salern Haaland captainers.

1:39.4

I had a mixed week. I got the captaincy completely wrong. Sala and Harland, you pay the money for them.

1:48.4

That's why we captained them. I went for Watkins. We're going to talk a bit about him in a bit.

1:55.0

He was unlucky, but just the goal, one bonus and a yellow card. And obviously, when you compare that to the 16 points, it looks like a bit of a fail. I took a hit to bring in Livermento, who didn't start. And I did that, you know, just to
