It's less than a month until the Premier League is back, which means it's time to get planning.

We talk you through all of the rule changes.

We plan our very early squads.

And yes, don't worry, we're all still as chaotic as ever.

It is less than a month to go until the Premier League is back, which means just one thing.

It is finally time for us to talk FPL.

Yes, the FPL pod is back, which means once again Kelly Summers with you alongside of course,

Sam Bonfield and Julian Loron.

We've missed you.

Firstly, Sam, it's nice to be back, isn't it? Yeah, I've missed this.

I was just saying to the guys before we started recording. I was like, I didn't know what to do myself on a Thursday morning. I know it's not Thursday morning right now, but when we don't have a pod to record, it's like, oh, it's a bit boring, isn't it? I can't work out what day of the week it is. So yes, good to be back. Yeah, it's all felt a little bit more real, having seen the

prices, kind of being able to pick a team or come on. at what day of the week is. So, yes, good to be back. Yeah, it's all felt a little bit more real,

having seen the prices, kind of being able to pick a team. We'll come on to that very soon. But Jules, how's your summer been? Because I think it's been a bit like mine, a lot of football. A lot of football girls together within the Club World Cup. Me in London, you in London and then in the US, which you were lucky and great to see Chelsea winning it, to give them a bit of momentum and maybe having an impact on all of our FPL teams, how many Chelsea players will we have in our team or the managers in their team? But yeah, it felt like he hasn't really stopped that. We're already talking about the start of the season in a few weeks' time.

Yeah, when I interviewed Enzo Mreska post-match after Chelsea won the Club World Cup, I kind of said he'd be excited about what you're building at Chelsea at the moment. His response was, yes, yes, I'm excited, but I'm more excited about the three weeks that I've got off now. I think it was three weeks. I can't remember exactly. But I think, yeah, their season, Chelsea season ended last week.

And congratulations them, as you said, Jules. It was an incredible experience watching them out there. And the other thing to say, a few people have messaged me saying, has there been no podcast? Has there been no FPL? Because you've been away doing the Club World Cup. It was nothing to do with me. We were just keeping you waiting. And now the game is live. The game is ready. And we're going to go through our first drafts

because yes, guys, we have already made first drafts that we want to run through together and for

you guys to listen to. But you may have noticed there have been some big changes to the game,

seven massive ones, in fact. I'm quite excited about these, but do listen

carefully, and I'm sorry if I have to read quite a lot, but I want to make sure that you guys

understand them all. Sam, of course, is going to be helping me through this. Let's talk chips

firstly, because we all love chips, don't we? Firstly, the assistant manager chip is no longer

part of the game. Instead, we've got two sets of chips, which is brilliant if you're someone like me that kind of tries to keep them right until the end of the season because now I don't have that. I won't be able to because I have to use my first set in the first half of the season. You then have to use your second set of chips in the second half of the season. So in the past, of course, we've only had two wild cards, one for the first half of the season. You'd have to use your second set of chips in the second half of the season.
