| 0:00.0 | Christmas came early with five free transfers. We discuss strategy and plans and if we're all |
| 0:05.9 | rushing to use them, how we can triple up on Arsenal with the rotation risk reel. And will Sam and I |
| 0:10.7 | both be activating a chip this weekend? Hello, welcome back to the FPL pod. It's Thursday, usual game week. |
| 0:21.9 | What game week are we on? |
| 0:22.7 | I don't even not game week on at that point in the season. It's only going to get worse, isn't it? Because we're in the festive period now. Game week 16, gosh, where's the time gone? We'll be looking ahead to that. But quickly, let's have a review of game week 15. Morning, Sam. Morning, Jules. I want to start with this because I had the best week for once. |
| 0:37.8 | Yeah. |
| 0:38.5 | For ages. |
| 0:39.7 | It's rare, isn't it? |
| 0:40.9 | It's certainly rare. 15 morning, Sam, morning Jules. I want to start with this because I had the best week for once. |
| 0:37.5 | Yeah, for ages. It's rare, isn't it? It's certainly rare. Sam, how was your week? We'll start with you. It was good until Monday night. And I think over the last couple of weeks, I've said, oh, it's Manchester United the last game on the game week. And I don't have any players. and can I get away with it and I got away with |
| 0:55.0 | it for the last two and this time I really really didn't so obviously Bruno doing Bruno things |
| 1:01.0 | and ending up the top scoring player in the game week so what was it was actually an okay game week |
| 1:06.6 | turned quite quite bad on Monday evening made worse by the fact that I did not trust |
| 1:13.5 | burs to keep a clean sheet and then they did so bench Mickey van der Van and I also did not |
| 1:17.6 | trust Bournemouth to keep a clean sheet against Chelsea and then they did so I had six points |
| 1:21.8 | for van der Ven and eight points for Sennessey on the bench and all the the defenders that I played |
| 1:27.3 | with the exception of Mark Gehie and his |
| 1:29.7 | lovely goal that he scored, decided that clean sheets weren't their thing this week. So benching |
| 1:34.9 | drama, no Bruno Fernandez, a red arrow. Not a huge red arrow though, definitely over the next |
| 1:42.7 | couple of weeks that will hopefully be reversible, particularly |
| 1:46.5 | with a triple captain ship to play at some stage. |
| 1:49.4 | Jules, for you, some good couple of good transfers in, wouldn't that? |
