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

0:19.4

I'm Sam from FPL family.

0:20.9

And I'm Oscar, FPL Focal.

0:23.0

Oscar, we aren't quite finished with double game week 25 yet.

0:26.6

Of course, we still have Liverpool's trip to Aston Villa to play out.

0:29.7

And Man City are going to be in European action as they play the second leg of their

0:33.7

Champions League qualifier.

0:35.4

But it was a massive, massive chip week yet again. So obviously

0:39.8

1.1 million managers played their assistant manager chip in Game Week 24, and those were still

1:16.4

played in total on Game Week 25. So over a quarter of all players, that's a new record. Yeah,

1:22.1

I played the assistant manager in Double Game Week 24 and I was hoping that we'd get the double

1:26.6

game at 25, which, of course,

1:27.9

we did in the end.

1:29.1

That all said, 55 points currently, a bit underwhelming, really small red arrow to 58K.

1:35.5

I've got Slot, Trent and Sala left to play.

1:38.3

I didn't actually go for any Vila players in the end, which maybe was a mistake.
