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

0:25.2

Hey Sam. This is Pras from the FPL wire. Oh, well, Pras, that's it. The final double game week of the season is almost in the bag. We still have one game to go, but we have had the first

0:31.2

10 matches of Game Week 36 already and we'll find out what happens between Manchester City and

0:35.9

Crystal Palace come Wednesday evening.

0:38.9

But how is Game Week 36th Street in you so far?

0:42.1

It's a really weird one, which I don't want to say is, you know, typical of this game week.

0:47.6

It's been the whole season where my entire backline has got me points, Gabrielle, Double Bonemouth Defence, O'Reilly, Raya. So everyone did well, but in attack, nobody did anything apart from Harland. And as a non-triple captainer, that didn't help me either. So that and the fact that my three transfers that I made, all of them backfired. Palmer to Saka didn't work out. Cherokee to Semeni or Semenu to Cherokee hasn't

1:11.7

worked out either. And then Dominic Calvert-Lewan last night to Welbeck. That didn't work either. So not great. 71 points though, which is okay. How has your week been? Do you know what? It's going all right. It's one of those weird ones, isn't it? Where when you know it's a high triple captain week, you kind of sit there and think, I weirdly want my captain to do nothing

1:30.7

because you know that actually it's going to have a negative impact overall on what your rank

1:36.3

might look like. I'm on 76 so far, which feels okay. Like you, I had Senni, which felt really

1:43.4

nice. I cannot tell you, though, Pras, how I came to take in a minus four to remove my goalkeeper, because I've got Robin Rufson goal and I was thinking, I was no chance. Absolutely no chance he keeps a clean sheet against Manchester United. Maybe I should take it here and get rid of him. In the end, I decided a hit for a goalkeeper didn't feel quite the right thing to do.

2:02.2

So I held him. So I was pleased with that clean sheet. Gabrielle, obviously, everyone's got Van Hecke,

2:07.1

I had as well with his six pointers. That felt nice. And then I'm on the right side of the city

2:11.6

defence at the moment with Mark Gehie, who got nine. So like you, all five of my defensive players absolutely coming in clutch,

2:20.0

which was lovely, I'll take the Pascal Gross assist as well, despite, you know, the cries that

2:26.0

it's the worst assist ever. And I can't wait to pop with Jules on Thursday morning for him to rant

2:30.0

in me about that one. But for sure, that felt quite nice. But then, yeah, the rest of my attack,

2:35.3

I did Yocchrez in this week, nothing for him, although the same as Jal Pedro. And I think I feel

2:40.8

happy about having Yocquerez over Jal Pedro moving forward. So that feels like an okay transfer,

2:45.3

despite not paying off straight away. I held Morgan Rogers, and I could not be more frustrated

2:50.3

about holding Morgan Rogers yet again for another blank.

2:54.5

But that is the last time I'll see Morgan Rogers in my team because with the two fixtures they have coming up, I feel like that midfielder spot could be used better.
