International break means holidays for some, but not completely for us on FPL pod.

0:05.3

We try to avoid letting Jules brag about his score.

0:08.1

We check in on the running strategy and we start to build a potential wildcard squad.

0:17.2

Yes, hello guys, another international break, but of course we haven't gone anywhere in terms of the podcast, at least few of us on our holidays, but we're still back with you. Kelly Summers, Julianne, and Sam, I'm going to let you speak first before Mr. I did really well last week because I remember the deadline speaks.

0:35.6

Yeah, I was really annoyed the first time he's remembered the deadline

0:38.3

in blimmon ages and then he goes and gets absolutely smashes it. Yeah, annoyingly, I think we

1:38.9
