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

0:19.6

I'm Harry.

And I'm Oscar,

FPLO focal. Well, the ever-reliable Erling Harland blanked. The answer defence without Gabriel concede to a goal from almost the halfway line and Semenio, the most highly owned midfielder, didn't show up. This game never disappoints.

0:40.1

0:41.7

59 points all out. Really, I was sort of carried by Munoz, Anderson, and Enzo. The three of them
