Welcome back to this week's off the bench podcast from the Premier League.

I'm Janie Batici.

And I'm Sam from FPL family. Hey Sam. We still have one match to go. It's Chelsea versus Sp League. I'm Janie Bittici. And I'm Sam from FPL Family.

Hey Sam. We still have one match to go. It's Chelsea versus Spurs. It's Janie versus Sam.

Game Week 35 for you, Sam? Oh, do you know, Johnny, I was getting myself in a bit of a state going

I wish I still have my wild card because it's so fun, isn't it, playing your wild card?

And there's this whole wave of expectations and things that might happen when you've played

really want Darwin anymore because the form hasn't been there.
