| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to this week's off the bench podcast from the Premier League. I'm Sam from FPL family. |
| 0:21.7 | And I'm Oscar, FPL focal. |
| 0:23.6 | Oscar, what a pleasure this is. |
| 0:25.2 | I don't think that we've ever podded together in all the years that we've known each other. |
| 0:30.2 | So this is going to be fun. |
| 0:32.0 | Game Week 16, however, was not fun for the left backs in the game, was it? Andy Robertson, Ray and 8 Norey, |
| 0:38.6 | who's become, I don't know, a bit of a troublemaker in the FPL community and Mark |
| 0:44.4 | Correa all picking up red cards. For 8Norri, that's a minus two. I really, really could have |
| 0:51.2 | done without that in my Game Week 16 team. Did you have him to? |
| 0:55.9 | No, I didn't. But yeah, I was going to say the exact same thing. Yeah, I first pod together. |
| 0:59.5 | So I'm looking forward to this. But unfortunately, I did dodge the eight nori there. Yeah. |
| 1:04.9 | I'm a bit jealous that you dodged it. It's been one of those for me, eight, Noree, over the last few weeks, and we'll talk about him more later. |
| 1:15.8 | But back-to-back zero pointers actually felt good on the back of this one because I was like, |
| 1:21.7 | minus two, Ryan, come on, man, what are you doing? And of course, because he picks up the red card, |
| 1:27.8 | it resets. So he's back to having four yellow cards again. So he might come back from suspension and then pick up another one, |
| 1:29.1 | which would be a bit of a disaster. |
| 1:31.4 | Anyway, how was Game Week 16 for you? |
| 1:33.6 | It wasn't too bad for me. |
| 1:35.7 | Yeah, 54 points all out. |
| 1:40.0 | So that took me from 156K to 153K. So basically no rank movement there. |
| 1:42.0 | But just about enough to show up as a green arrow, |
| 1:45.5 | which obviously always looks nicer. |
