Hi everyone and welcome to this week's off the bench. I'm Janie.

0:19.7

Hey, I'm Pras. And what a week it's been, Praz,

0:22.7

in FPL, Harlan, Blank, but the city juggernaught keeps on going. Another disappointing performance

0:27.0

from Man United. Penalty drama are plenty with Sala and Enzo missing and Watkins and Saka

0:32.4

giving up theirs. Chelsea continued to stutter. In fact, many of the players who returned well in Game Week 1 didn't do quite so well in Game Week 2. But, Pras, how was your Game Week? Game Week was a little bit of a roller coaster, right? I mean, played Turner in goal, which is obviously a little bit unnerving, benching Pickford, but turned out okay. The defense, you know, last week was returned some points with

0:56.2

assists. We didn't get many clean sheets this time as well, except for the Sileber clean sheet last

1:02.1

night, and I know that's something that you will talk about. And then a stupinyander's amazingly

1:06.8

yet again, and, you know, the guy continues to make a mockery out of his $5 million price. Midfield, I think, I think we'll talk a lot about midfield this week and, you know, the guy continues to make a mockery out of his $5 million price.

1:11.8

Midfield, I think we'll talk a lot about midfield this week and, you know, a lot of disappointment

1:16.0

with the Arsenal and the Man United boys, but, you know, the 6.5 mids like Mbuma and Mitoma

1:21.1

keep doing well.

1:22.7

And then the big talking point in terms of forwards, Harlan Blank, proving that he's human after all. And then I had

1:29.0

Zhao Pedro, who were disappointed. How was your week? Yeah, similar to yours, ups and downs. And

1:34.1

when we see the game week go from a Friday to a Monday, we see ups and downs are plenty. Don't check

1:39.4

your rank mid-game week is my advice to FPL managers. There I was on Sunday sitting quite pretty. I think

1:44.8

I was around on a big green arrow around 200k. I finished up around 600K because my Monday night

1:50.4

football experience wasn't the best and I didn't have Caleigh, and I think he cost me, Gabrielle's

1:56.0

single point again, definitely on the chopping block for me. And I think Gabriel owners will all be

2:00.2

looking for replacements this week. But other than that, it was a good game. We hired some of those

2:05.4

template wins, like, you know, your 6.5 midfielder and Watkins picked up some points. But for me,

2:10.1

it was Foden was to stand out. We'll speak more about Man City in a minute, but Foden's nine points

2:14.8

were a really nice, a differential swing for me. And again, you could argue
