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

Janie Batici and I'm Janie Bittici.

And I'm Oscar, FPL focal. Hey, Oscar, it was a massive chip week. And I know you were on a chip and I was too. We had 812,000 triple captain chips played. It's the most ever in a single game week.

Obviously, it's double chips this season. Meanwhile, 750,000 hit the wildcard button, 178,000 played the free hit and 157,000 played the bench boost.

So first and foremost, what chip did you have active and how did it go?

Yeah, I used the wild card, which went pretty well, actually.

I had a choice between using three transfers because I had three rolled to sell Sala for Harlan to target that Bernie fixture, or had the option to wildcard, because of course, the transfers roll over. So I did that and I added, you know, the likes of Gabrielle, Sene, Cis, Semenio, who I wouldn't have been able to get to with those three moves. So they all did pretty well for me. I think it was 70 points all out. So yeah, I'm glad with that. Three transfers to take forward. I've got the bench boost active as well for Gemic 7. Did you use a chip? Yeah, I went, I went triple captain, which I'm surprised actually. I didn't realize that was the most popular chip played last week. I thought wild card as my edge it, but yeah, 812 triple captains,

750 on the wildcard from like 12 million managers.

So a huge amount of engaged managers, they're hitting those buttons.

And yeah, that's the only reason I didn't wild card.

My team probably needed a wild card, but I just really fancied Harlan versus Burnley.

And thankfully, that came off. And I'm probably therefore going to wild card in seven but I used all my free transfers to get to Harland.

So I had the win from the Harlem points but I don't unlike you, have the transfers moving forward.

So yeah, a good week and we'll talk Harland early on and obviously we're going to be reviewing all the games and talking all the big headlines, looking forward as well to players like and teams like Arsenal who definitely need our attention now. So let's crack on with that analysis from Game Week 6. Oscar, I feel like we have to start with Man City 5, Burnley, one, because yes, it was the Harlan show, but I think we also probably need to

have eyes on players like Rinders, Foden, and maybe even more so now, Docu. Pep Guardiota said,

I have the feeling that Docu's decision making in the final third has improved. Yeah,

definitely has. Assist goals, seeing the channels, he's incredible threat against the teams with

the low block,

really important. If we get to a position where Docku is starting, I don't know, eight out of ten Premier League football matches. And the way he's playing, you can see that, 6.5 million. He

could be insane value, couldn't he? Yeah. If it's 8 out of 10, I suppose he could make up for

the benches, but I really, I've always struggled to trust wingers playing for PEP. It's just so unpredictable, isn't it? Who's going to start each week? So for me, I've got Rinders, I've got Harland. And I actually went Vardio, who of course conceded anyway. That was disappointing against Burnley. I think they were the best team, in fact, for expected goals. I could see the last game, but no clean sheet there. I decided to go for that, which feels a little bit more trustworthy. I think I could trust Vardial to start pretty much all games. Rinders have started every game and likewise, Harlan. So that's the triple up I've gone with. But yeah, I think dokey is an interesting one. Some people went for Fodham. By the way, I have to ask you, because as the stoppage time rolled over to 90 minutes, Harlan just had the assist. So how did you feel after we got the stoppage time brace? 16-pointer, right? 48 as triple captain, it was. Honestly, I was, my palms were getting sweaty. I was actually driving. And I was listening to Five Live in the car. And I was driving really slowly because I knew I was about to get home with about five minutes left. But I wanted to, I didn't want to turn the audio off. So I was crawling along a country lane. And then I heard Harlan scored and they just missed a big chance before that and they went to the Etty had. and I was like, oh, this isn't going to happen. I'm getting an assist and that's it.

And when City score three goals, you expect Harland to have one of the three, but then of course,
