| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to this week's off the bench podcast from the Premier League. I'm |
| 0:19.5 | Janie and I'm Oscar. FPL focal. |
| 0:21.8 | Hey Oscar, double game week 25 promise so much and whilst there's still hope for some of our |
| 0:26.2 | doublers, it was the single game weekers that grabbed the headlines. Sackers 15, Watkins is 13, |
| 0:32.3 | Slanky's 12-pointers or they punished the sellers. Whilst popular doublers, Jotter and Darwin went off injured, |
| 0:38.1 | and Man City attackers blanked, but many invested in Liverpool and City Defence too, but it was |
| 0:43.2 | Arsenal on Brighton, the only teams to register a clean sheet. Oscar, how was Game Week 25 so far for you? |
| 0:48.9 | Yeah, not too bad so far. I'm on 60 points of a minus four, so my ranks actually stayed almost exactly the same. |
| 0:56.0 | I did activate my triple captain on Harland. Yeah, as you say, there was so much hope for a huge |
| 1:01.1 | gaming when you've got Liverpool and Man City in particular, Dublin. Yeah, lots to unpack this |
| 1:05.5 | week. And you mentioned the Darwin and Jotter injuries there. Those were two players that I did |
| 1:09.7 | have. And Jotter was that |
| 1:11.3 | player I took the minus four hit for as well. So, yeah, a bit frustrating. But I'm relieved they got |
| 1:15.7 | a return as well, even if they end up missing the looting game. How are you getting on? Yeah, |
| 1:20.1 | similar to you, 57 without the hit. A few weeks back, like you, I lined up Jotter and was happy to take a hit to bring him in, knowing he had |
| 1:27.5 | the double in 25. Pascal Gross was the player I sold, though, and since he's had an 11, a 10 and an |
| 1:32.8 | eight. So that's slightly disappointing. I think I owned him just for the two weeks, and he blanked |
| 1:37.7 | him both. But on paper, I guess it was the right decision. And yeah, unfortunate, because some |
| 1:42.2 | actually even went there with triple captaincy on Jotter. I guess we should speak about triple captaincy because so many went there |
| 1:48.4 | on Harland. And we're recording this before Man City play Brentford. But if we look at just that |
| 1:55.6 | Chelsea game, I mean, on paper, it felt like a good call. Harlan clocked 1.71 XG, nine shots all in the box against Chelsea. |
| 2:05.4 | But it just wasn't his day, was it? |
