Premium problems, differentials in defence and could now be the time to wind up that wild card.

0:07.7

Plenty to ponder ahead of FPL game week four.

0:17.0

Well, hello, welcome back to the FPL pod.

0:19.4

Kelly Summers back with you alongside Sam Bonfield of FPL family and Julian Loran. And this week, we're also welcoming back a regular from last season. It's former footballer turned pundit Sam Parking. Sam, it's good to have you back on despite I've just realized I've got two Sam's on here. This is going to get so confusing, isn't it?

0:37.5

Anyway, tell me that you're happier with your team starts the season than I am about this lineup.

0:43.5

Do you know what?

0:44.4
