Welcome back to this week's off the bench podcast from the Premier League. I'm FPL Harry.

0:20.8

Hey Harry, this is Press.

0:22.9

Well, Game Week 33, what feels like one of the biggest game weeks of the season, is almost over,

0:27.8

but it feels like we have some of the biggest games of our seasons left to play.

0:31.6

So just as a bit of a timestamp, we are recording before Manchester City play Asson Villa tonight.

0:36.5

And of course, Arsenal play against Crystal Palace as part of the double game week in Game Week 33. And like me,

0:43.2

you had a chip active, a different chip active. But for a lot of people listening, this was the

0:51.8

with a chip active this week.

0:56.3

760,000 played their bench boost.

1:31.8

assistant manager Arteta, which of course Harry is on, anything has worked out so far. So we will see

1:37.1

most of the times when it's a double game week, it's really about the other games, right? Because

1:41.1

your doublers haven't doubled yet. But interesting indeed. How's

1:44.8

your season going, Harry? Yeah, season's going well, particularly over the past few weeks with the
