Another pod and another opportunity for us to state a case for the defence.

We analyse the form of some of the game's popular players.

We discussed if Mattetta is must have given his fixtures.

And yes, my wildcard didn't go well.

I'm going to start this podcast with a disclaimer.

I don't want to be here.

I wildcarded. It didn't go well. Yes, Kelly Summers back on the FPR pod. With, as you heard, Julian Loron and Sam Bumfield, not only did these two outskill me, have Van, who I didn't have. They're both on holiday, so they're both winning at life. And I'm losing in rainy England. Hi guys.

Lovely to be back for you. Just what I wanted to be doing. Sam, as you've not been quite as gloaty already. How are you doing? You had a good game week, having a good holiday. What time to be Sam Bonfield? I'll tell you what, Cal's honestly, I was probably unbearable on Sunday because when Mickey Van der Leyen scored that brace,

my better half of FPL family,

he sold Mickey Van der VN scored that brace,

my better half of FPL family, he sold Mickey Van der V heading into this game week.

So you can imagine being out for dinner.

Exactly.

Imagine being out for dinner with me with Mickey Van der Vennel on my bench boost and having to deal with not only Spurs winning,

but it being Mickey and having sold him,

I did actually think I might be coming back from this holiday without a husband. It was that bad.

But yeah, I've had a great week, so it's been wonderful. Thanks.

Go on, Jules. How good to your week, Ben?

Much better than your skills. That's for sure. Almost twice your point.

I mean, how is... I mean, wild carding usually, you know, gets your points. I mean, my defense was on fire. Yeah. Do you know what, though? Your defense is usually terrified. Do you know what? My defense actually kind of salvaged what was a terrible week. The thing is I don't dislike my team. It's really weird. One of my other colleagues that I work with also Wildcardi this week, we had quite a similar team. I think there was two or three differences. Unfortunately, one of his was Crupier Jr. So that was a difference because Crupier Jr. actually scored. But I even looked at my team again for this week. I still don't dislike it. I still, obviously, it's easy to say I regret not having Van der Venn now, but I didn't

consider him and probably up my team again for this week. I still don't dislike it. I still, obviously, it's easy to say I regret

not having Van de Venn now, but I didn't consider him and probably I still would. Maybe, maybe I would. It's so hard when someone's got 23 points to say you wouldn't, but I actually don't dislike my team. And you have to remind yourself, I think, at this point, Sam, there's been so many horror stories, hasn't, with wild cards and people like, for example, in fact, Sala scoring this week.
