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

0:20.0

I'm Janie.

0:20.7

Hey Janie. This is Pras.

0:22.1

And look, Pras, we're 16 days to go until the next FPL deadline. We've got a mini rest now,

0:26.6

unless, of course, you've hit that wildcard button. But before we talk about Game Week 30,

0:31.2

let's look back at 29. How was your week, Pras? Oh, man. What a time to come back on the podcast. You know, I was, I mean,

0:38.4

I'm still doing very well. I was like 3.5K going into Game Week 29. My team looked great.

1:20.4

in the world.

1:21.0

I'm now at around 500K.

1:22.5

So I've had Green Arrow after Green arrow. I've been playing really risky, loose FPL, betting against Sallow a captain.

1:28.9

I've really enjoyed it, betting against Sallow a captain. I've not owned an Arsenal defender since

1:32.2

game week 20. I've just been having loads of fun with it and going quite rogue. But it's seen the
