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

0:19.2

I'm FPL Harry.

0:20.4

And I'm Oscar,

0:21.0

FPL focal. Well, another week, another Erling Harland Hall and another Salat blank. And of course, we need to start adding someone like Antoine Semeno to the mix with the amount of returns. He's getting this season. There was lots of talk going into the game week about the likes of Yoccarez, Baccar, Bruno Fernandez, lots of them picking up returns,

0:38.4

although not too many big halls this week. the game week about the likes of Yocchrez, Baccarus, Bruno Fernandez, lots of them picking up returns,

0:38.4

although not too many big halls this week, but someone on the pod this week who has done very well,

0:44.2

one of those playing their bench boost, Oscar, one of the 280,000 playing their bench boots,

0:49.1

along with 400,000 playing their wildcard and 270,000 playing their triple captain. I imagine most of those on

0:56.0

Erling Harlan for his big return. But Oscar, go on. How was your game week? It was an unbelievable

got the three bonus points. So he got me 17 points alone, which was very, very lucky.

1:32.8

How did you get on?

1:33.7

Yeah, I feel like in seasons gone by, we've spoken about a defender 15 point return, but now

1:38.4

with defensive contributions, that's the 17 is the new 15 when you're looking at a, when you're

1:43.5

looking at defender. I had a decent

1:45.3

enough game week. I scored 70 points without a chip being played. So a small green arrow for me

1:50.9

inside the top one million for the first time this season. The double asses defense with
