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

0:19.2

I'm Sam from FPL family.

0:21.0

And I'm Andy FPL Sonaldo. It was another week, Andy, and another Erling Harlan hat trick. The man

0:28.2

feels completely unstoppable at the moment, doesn't he? And managers who don't have him will likely

0:33.9

spend the rest of the international break now wondering how they're going to afford

0:37.7

to bring him into their teams. But of course, then Sunday rolled around and Salah decided what

0:43.4

was good enough for Harlan was good enough for him to a match in point for point. So I'm going to

0:47.8

spend my international break, wondering how on earth I afford to bring Salah into my FPL team.

0:56.0

Honestly, it was one of those,

1:00.3

wasn't it, where the two most expensive players in the game absolutely nailed it.

1:05.5

Correct. I mean, Sam, I think if we go back to the start of the season, you know, a lot of the narrative was it's too expensive to afford both of them, but it looks like the true winners right now are Sala and Holland owners.

He could have had way more from the way I saw it. So

1:28.1

it'll be interesting how the international break goes, but definitely both on my radar for sure.

1:32.6

It's really difficult because I had both of them for 90% of preseason. And it was only

1:38.6

that last week when Solanky joint spurs, where suddenly I was like, right, I need to find some money in my

1:45.8

forward line. It meant I wanted to sell Gelpedro to bring in Solanke. Had I just stopped at that

1:52.3

point and not done anything and started the season with Harlan and Salah and Jal Pedro, I'd have

1:57.6

been flying right now. As it is, I'm still doing well, but every week,

2:02.3

it just hurts a little bit more. For me this week, on Saturday evening, I was, I was doing

2:06.9

really, really well. It was up about 500,000 places, really brilliant green arrow. And I was
