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

0:19.9

I'm Janie Bittici.

0:26.1

And I'm Pras from the FPL wire. Hey, Pras. It was a big week in FPL. Of all the premiums, Salah, you know, big returns there, but Saka, Palmer and my captain Harland, all blanked.

0:31.3

We saw Man City and Arsenal both slip up in the title race. And, you know, meanwhile, the budget-friendly options continue to be great,

0:38.0

the likes of Chris Wood, Brennan Johnson, Strand Larson and Semenio all on the score sheet. Was it a

0:43.6

green arrow for you? It was a green arrow. And, you know, going into this week, I had the three

0:48.9

that blanked basically, Sacher, Palmer and Haland. And it took a very brave call. Obviously got lucky that I sold Harland

0:55.5

and we'll talk about him and got Salah, Captain Salah. So pretty much Salah and Solanki,

1:01.2

who I ended up keeping, saved my game week and ended up on a small green arrow up to 300k. So I actually

1:08.3

pretty happy with how things are going. like that fair play and you saw who did

1:12.2

you sell harland for did you bring in a but you obviously brought in a budget forward coonia yeah so actually

1:16.3

he returned as well i forgot about him because i was well back on saturday evening uh yeah he got an assist

1:21.4

so those are my three returns pretty much for the week i like that i mean salla and cunia was

1:26.0

really brave for those that sold harlan, but it paid off straight

1:28.6

away.

1:28.9

I'm a bit jealous and a little bit sour because I didn't make those moves.

1:33.0

A Captain Harland, but also just watching back the games, both Sala and Cunia, I reckon,

1:39.5

benefited from the two of the worst bits of defending we saw in the game week. I think a Stuponan show in Salon to his left foot was,

1:46.3

I don't think many left backs in the Premier League are that naive,

1:48.8

as Stuponan was.

1:49.7

And then Chalabar over the high ball to let Cunia run through on goal.

1:53.1

So you've maybe got a bit lucky, but it was brave and you were rewarded.
