| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to another season of Off the Bench from the Premier League. |
| 0:19.4 | Every week two experts will be here to discuss what happened in the Game Week and how that can inform our future decisions. I'm FPL Harry. And I'm Oscar. FPL focal. Well, Oscar, we've spent all summer building up to the first week. We spend all that time planning and hopefully picking the best players. But the real question is, after one week, do we think we did? How did a game |
| 0:37.7 | one go for you? I'm actually pleased about when, like, considering there was 615,000 chips |
| 0:44.0 | played as well, I finished on 60 points all out. Yeah, the three highlights for me, number one, |
| 0:49.5 | I had double spurs defence. I was really relieved about that clean sheet. I went for Sanchez, |
| 0:54.8 | who ended up with eight points, he got a really late bonus point after that recalculation. And I had Rinders as well, who got that 10 point hauler on his debut. Yeah, I'd gone back and forth from like Anderson, you know, we've got these new defensive contributions to think about Anderson 5.5 mil or Rinders for the attack and upside. Both were amazing to be fair. But yeah, I'm happy to land it on Rinders. He's risen in Price as well. How did you get on? Yeah, I have very similar returns, although I didn't have double Spurs defense in the end. I actually went for Anderson of Fulham as I was trying to chase some of those defensive contributions for the start of the season. |
| 1:27.6 | And I'm still happy with that as a strategy, although I actually didn't have a single player |
| 1:32.1 | in my 15 squads to hit any of their defensive contribution targets in Game Week 1. |
| 1:37.4 | So I'm hoping it gets better as the week goes on. |
| 1:39.6 | I also went with Sanchez, pretty happy with that, although as a Chelsea fan with double Chelsea |
| 1:44.5 | attack in Palmer and Jal Pedro, I didn't see quite what I wanted to see from us going forward. |
| 1:50.3 | And as, as like you, I was looking at that 5.5 million spot. I also had Kear and Drewsbury Hall |
| 1:55.8 | in there at times. I had Anderson in for a lot of preseason. But as things got closer and we |
| 2:00.7 | saw Rinder score twice during that final preseason game, he did come in and now looking at the way he played in Game with Juan, I had to say, I'm feeling quite happy and quite smug that I went with him in the end. And it was late drama. It's a good start to the season with that first game. Obviously, we met up for it and Sala with the really, |
| 2:17.6 | really late goal in that Liverpool-Bormouth game. Should we start with that one? Well, exactly. I think a lot of us with the Sala in our team and with him as captain as well, our points would be looking very different if it wasn't for the last couple of minutes. But I think the real thing is how many times have we seen Mosella do that over the years? How many times has he added an extra return on in stoppage time or in the final five minutes? |
| 2:39.3 | Or how many times has he been looking like he's going to blank? |
| 2:41.5 | And then once the game looks like it's over, once everyone else is a little bit tired, |
| 2:46.1 | Mosala just finds that breakaway from a set piece or from a corner and Alison's |
| 2:52.1 | thumping it downfield and Mo Salah is there. He did it once again to bail us out a little bit, |
| 2:57.8 | but I think there are so many takeaways from this game that don't revolve around |
| 3:01.9 | Mosala. I think the other Liverpool attackers in particular, in Eckertique, in Verts, |
| 3:09.1 | and in Cody Gapro as well, |
