An earlier pod this week as we're together in a studio but there is a notable difference.

We discussed the tricky game week ahead news of another double in 32 and while we aren't all sold on Salah as captain.

Hello, welcome back to the FPL pod. No, your ears aren't deceiving you.

It is Wednesday and we are with you a little bit earlier this week ahead of the double game week game between Aston Villa and Liverpool because we are together in person.

And this pod is going to sound a bit different, not just because of that, but because it's going to be a bit quieter, I reckon.

What do you think, Sam?

It's very, very quiet and a little bit what do you think Sam it's very very quiet

and a little bit less French isn't it in here today but it's a bit more mank hello hello

hello back I was going to say hello welcome back thank you nice to nice to have you it and thank

you for making the effort for coming all the way down for us that's all right I've got a busy day

today I'm at Villa Liverpool later as well so I I thought I'd squeeze this in. Why not? Oh, wow, there's a real trip of the country there.

Wow.

Well, it's nice of you to make the effort because a certain Frenchman...

Can't be bothered.

No.

I mean, he lives about half an hour from here, I think.

But where's it on? taking himself off to Marrakesh. The irony being we did... At least he can do is pack a microphone, right?

The irony being, we did try and do this around his schedule,

and we said 100 times, Jules,

that day we're going to be in person together.

In London, it's half term.

You're not going on holiday, are you?
