| 0:00.0 | Festive fixtures are upon us. This pod covers two game weeks, so plenty of forward thinking for you. |
| 0:06.4 | We help you navigate a blank in Game Week 18, and let's hope Santa brings Sam a new goalkeeper. |
| 0:17.6 | Hi guys, welcome back to the FPL pod after a difficult weekend in the Premier League. |
| 0:22.2 | Kelly Summers with you alongside my trusty trio of Sam Bonfield, Julian Loron and Ian Irving. |
| 0:27.8 | Now, we will come on to FPL in just a moment, but before we do, everyone here at the podcast |
| 0:32.7 | wants to send their thoughts and love to Tom Lockyer, his family, friends and everyone connected with Luton Town Football Club |

| 1:29.9 | Then Salablanx, as did Saka. |
| 1:32.5 | Jules, how do you assess what felt like a bit of a strange game week? |
| 1:37.0 | Yeah, you're right. |
| 1:38.1 | I mean, Hugginson as well, a blanked, which, again, I don't think we expected that. And then maybe in a big paradox, the defenders suddenly of the big clubs actually did well this time. |
| 1:48.8 | We've talked about before the defenders. |
| 1:50.5 | But if you think that United Liverpool, Arsenal, Newcastle, Spurs, all of them kept clean sheet. |
