From the Premier League, it's the official fantasy Premier League podcast.

Don't worry, none of us are ready either.

But over the next half hour,

we'll have all the budget squeezing, problem easing.

Manager pleasing picks you need to be feeling nice and smug

It's the official FPL podcast from the Premier League.

Hello there. You are a fantasy manager in need of some last minute tips. I am your host

James Richardson and this is this week's panel. We have former pro bowler now broadcast to

Sam Parkin. Hello Sam. Hi James. How you doing? I'm well. Lovely to see you.

Journalist, author and a man who's actually watched all those new arrivals from League

Tom Williams. Hello, James. Hello, Tom. And from the FPL family, Queen of last

year's FPL podcast league, it's Sam Bombfield. All right, Sam. Hi, James. I quite like being called the Queen.

Sam finishing the top three and a half K worldwide. That's out of what, seven million managers or something?

Tom and Sam P. Where did you finish?

I was top 100,000, I think, maybe 40,000 or something like that perhaps you know not too bad right

okay believing you on that one Sam Parkin how about you um lower reaches of the division um our

private division yeah I was like Crystal Palace I accumulated enough points to not worry about

relegation,

but it's a season where I need to do a hell of a lot better.
