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

I'm Janie Baticchi from

Fantasy Football Scout. And I'm Pras from the FPL Wire podcast. Wow, Pras. What a fantastic

week it was for so many FPL managers. It was high scoring and it didn't disappoint with over

477,000 playing their triple captain Chip-on-Earling Harland. I know you were close to that. Did you pull the trigger in the

end? I didn't pull the trigger in the end. And I wish I did because it was a great week.

Obviously, he did turn it on, which we know he can do in home games. And we'll talk about Manciti a little bit.

But I'm still very, very happy with my week. I scored 95 points without the triple captain. So, you know, a lot of these

midfielers, which we were 50-50 on all came through for me, Gordon with a 10, Smithrow with a 10,

Zhao Pedro, with a goal against my own Man United team. But, you know, we take the FPL points. So,

and I had Sala and Harlan. So a very good week for me. How was your week? I love that. Yeah, no, we're really happy too.

86. And yeah, I mean, it was a higher average than game week one. I think, I think we saw,

we saw 69 point average. And we had a hat trick from Harland. I was expecting that to be the

highest score of the game week, actually, and then upstepped Madaweke with his 20-point haul. Parma levelling Harlan's 17 points and Sond with 16 points as

well. So yeah, we've got loads to break down today. I guess we should start with Harlan though,

given the fact he scored a hat-trick and so many went triple captain. Were you surprised that

it was as many as 477,000? That's huge. I think over the 24 hours leading up to the deadline, there was this

momentum that was coming towards Harland is fit. He doesn't have a midweek game. We don't have so many

double game weeks to play the triple captain later. Why not just go for it? And this is where I was.

And so I'm not that surprised. Like usually in the seasons past, you'd be surprised that people

have used it in a single game week,

which for those that are listening is basically one game a week, which is the usual case.
