It's a wild card special this week as one and maybe two are active.

Hi guys, welcome back to this week's FPL Pod Kelly Summers,

0:20.7

Julianne Rohn and Sam Bonfield, back with you as always.

0:24.7

I feel another pretty disappointing game week, would you say? I feel like I'm doing the same intro every single week, but it's been such a tough start to the season. Back me up.

0:32.9

Well, Sam, you'll definitely back me up, actually. Yeah, it's been really difficult, hasn't it? It's just been like, honestly, so this weekend I was like, right, it can only get better. Saturday, I was actually having a really, really good game week. And I was like, this is great. And I checked my live rank at the end of Saturday. And I had a green error of 1.5 million. And I was like, right. Looking at your team, how can it have been that good? You only had three players that returned overall. Nobody else. But the players who had that returned pretty much no, like they're quite lowly owned. So that actually gave me a massive, massive green arrow now. Also, I had most of my players play on Saturday. So by the time

1:13.2

rolled into Sunday, I didn't really have anyone left to play apart from Olly Watkins. And I was

1:18.4

looking at Olly Watkins thinking, okay, well, let's see what we get from you. But I didn't have any

1:24.7

Arsenal and I didn't have any Man City. And so I knew that that game was going to be painful regardless of the outcome. It was going to be difficult. And then as soon as it was a rind, I remember I turned to Lee and I said, like, all we need is for it to just not be rinders or halen. Anyone else, take the Arsenal clean sheet away. That will help. but it can't be them too. So of course, when they combined for the goal, I was like,

1:47.3

oh man, this is just a nightmare. So in the end, it was pretty much, I think I lost 5K in rank

1:53.3

on the back of it all. So that them two just ended my game week in a very difficult way. So yeah, it was pretty much a grey arrow

2:03.2

in the end, no real change, but still ended up feeling quite disappointed by all. Yeah, so did I.

2:09.4

So you ended on 39 points. I got 38 points. Jules got 38 points. Wow, we really are

2:15.2

top three at the moment, aren't we? Gosh, George, talk us through your game week.

2:18.8

But there's no better feeling than when you know you're having a bad weekend, right? And everyone else is. But you don't even want to look at the app on Tuesday morning, a Monday you look, and everybody else was, you feel so happy. You feel so good about yourself. Oh, it was just not me. I know you've had a bad week, but listen down the language.

2:35.7

Sorry, so I think we were allowed to say the C word like that. But anyway, so rubbish. I don't know. Poor rubbish instead. Everybody else was rubbish. I was delighted for YouTube being bad and everybody else pretty much. 38, Marguerite, he was seven. only got that dodgy assist that really should not be an assist. Oh, he has been the jammiest transfer for you. You got him in around the same time I got Bounos. Yeah, you literally did it for budget, I'm sure. Quality. Remember that Curler in the top corner against Villa? Oh yeah, because he scores those every week. Yeah. Just saying, he's improved massively technically. Wasn't that the first week you had him pretty much?

3:09.3

Yeah.

3:09.6

Since I signed him, he has improved massively technically.

3:13.9

Was that thanks to you, is it?

3:15.2

But I'm just saying, like, you know, it's a trust thing between him and I.
