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

FPL Family.

And I'm As Smithfield Blackbox. Well, as good morning, game week 35 saw a lot of rotation, didn't we?

Especially from the club still in European competitions. It's about to be another big footballing

week on the continent as well. Arsenal, Forest, Villa, Palace, all in action in

midweek. Plus, we've got another double game week here coming with Palace and Manchester

City in action twice in game week 36. But before we get into all of that, how was Game Week 35 for

you? Disappointingly, very disappointing. Oh, come on. Last time we were on, I think we both had a good game week. We said we're going to bring the positivity from now on ours. I thought you played your wild card now. Yeah, that's the disappointment. Oh, that's eight. Oh, that's why. Eight green arrows in a row going into the wild card and then a red arrow. I was going to say, you're going to run. And then a red arrow on the wild card.

And I think the big, the big one was no Bournemouth, right? No, no SNSI, no hill. A lot of people doubling up with those after wild carding a few weeks ago. Didn't have either of them. And then you're playing catch up, aren't you? when you know you got Snessy getting 14 points

you need your players to deliver

and some did some didn't

yeah it was uh

yeah it wasn't a massive red, but, you know, at this stage of the season, you want to be hitting some big green, don't you? Especially when, when you play the wildcard chip. How was yours? Mine was about par. Yeah, it was about par, 56 points. So I went down from about 111K to about 116K, so about a 5K red arrow, which in the end

was one kick of the ball. It was Cole Palmer's penalty. The penalty missed cost me a couple of

points rather than swinging me a few points the other way. So yeah, I did have the Bournemouth defence.

At least I had Hill. Those that had either Hill or Sun Senese, as you say, did pretty well.

If you had both, then congrats. Bruno in midfield, just the assist. So apart from that, it's Semenio, Tavener and Palmer. So really not a lot to write home about from my midfield perspective. But it was the forwards, wasn't it? Forward. Harlan grabbing the goal. So I got 14 for him with the captaincy. Wellbex assist. give me a five-pointer.

And then Zhao Pedro with, you know, talk about Break the Chelsea duck. That's a few hours without a goal for Chelsea. And then for him to rock up with a technically, I mean, technically. What a goal, I know. Bicycle kick. Superb bicycle kick. Very, very good indeed. So 56 points. Yeah. can we say grey arrow? If you've not green or you're

not red, you're about par. Let's call it maybe a grey. And move on what I got as well. To game three six. Yeah, I think we'll move on there. One point less. It's a good week for forwards, though, wasn't it? You mentioned forwards. We've been talking about them, you know, all seasoners. you know, this is all about the centerbacks.

But look at the forwards at school this week.

You've got Calvalliouin. You've got Tiago,

Giao Pedro, Barry, Harlands, you know, Amanai, you got a couple. Richarlison got some. You know, maybe, maybe Yoccharez as well, who we're going to talk about. Are the forwards back for the final few weeks.
