| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to this week's off the bench podcast from the Premier League. |
| 0:19.0 | I'm Pras. |
| 0:19.7 | Andamaaz. Game week 26 is over and we're now treated with a week of FA Cup games that will have to this week's off the bench podcast from the Premier League. I'm Pras. And I'm as. |
| 0:25.4 | Game week 26 is over and we're now treated with a week of FA Cup games that will have a major impact on our planning ahead of Game Week 29. Remember, there could be as few as three fixtures |
| 0:30.2 | with just West Ham, Aston Villa, Burnley, Brentford and Fulham Tottenham, currently guaranteed to go ahead. |
| 0:35.6 | Yeah, but that's ages away, perhaps. We haven't got |
| 0:37.8 | worry about that until Thursday. Game week 26. How did you get on? I had an okay week. Actually, |
| 0:43.6 | I've got a red arrow after a very long time. So not a brag, but yeah, this was one of those |
| 0:47.7 | weeks where you, you know, go through your transfers. You think, who can I replace Jota with? Can it be Douglas Louise? Will it be |
| 0:54.7 | Bowen or will it be Huang? And obviously, you pick the guy who blanks and the other two |
| 0:58.4 | just go absolutely mental. How was yours? Well, Red Arrow. First Red Arrow in a while, actually, |
| 1:04.5 | so can't really complain too much. It's one of those weeks, though, where like, obviously, |
| 1:08.0 | we're looking ahead to gaming 29, thinking about the blank game week and the fixtures. And I thought, you know, I'm not going to worry about |
| 1:13.8 | that. I'm going to focus on the short-term fixtures. The wolves have got a great fixture. |
| 1:18.1 | I'm going to bring in players from them. And, yeah, we're going to talk about them in a bit. |
| 1:21.7 | But I think unless you bought in 8, Norrie or Sarabia, then I think you'll probably cursing your luck in that match. |
| 1:27.9 | It's one of those things, yeah, like you said, where sometimes we, you know, in hindsight, |
| 1:32.4 | we say maybe I shouldn't have overplanned, I should have taken what's in front of me. |
| 1:35.5 | This is a good example where it doesn't always work, actually. |
| 1:37.9 | You know, it is about just picking good players over a longer run. And you can still argue that somebody like a Huang or Netto is a good |
| 1:44.6 | pick in the long run. But yeah, this week was brutal for those 50-50s. Well, you mentioned the |
| 1:49.4 | games that are guaranteed to go ahead in Game Week 29. And if you went for Douglas Louise, |
