It's the final part of 2025 and no one knows what day it is, but we do know that we're targeting Manchester United and Liverpool.

We're selling our palace and maybe our Bournemouth defence and we're also reminding you to use your chips.

Guys, it's Monday. We're at that period, aren't we?

Where we don't have a clue what day it is.

And this is just going to confuse you even more, isn't it? Because, as you can hear, that was the laugh of Julian Ron. This is the voice of Kelly Summers and San Bonfield's also with us, which means it's a Monday FPL pod, no off the bench, because we're at that time of the year where no one knows what's going on. All I know is there's loads of football, there's loads of deadlines,

and there's another one just around the corner. So we're at that time of the year where no one knows what's going on. All I know is there's loads of football, there's loads of deadlines,

and there's another one just around the corner. So we are going to be here to review and preview everything. Firstly, morning, Sam, morning, Jules. Good Christmases, guys. Yeah, that's lovely, thank you. Joie Noel. Very good. Good, good. Well, enough of that. We don't really care about the presents, do we?

As long as we've

got green arrows one of which i did not get uh this week um a main reason i didn't get this week

was because i didn't play my bench boost and i was a very silly because um it was actually

the highest number of bench boosts active so far this season almost 600,000 of them were played

and of course that's because a lot of people have to bravka as their backup goalkeeper. Van de Ven, also a lot of people had him on the bench. The likes of Harry Wilson was also benched by over 60,000 people. So well done if you did play it. And this is your first reminder that this is your last game week to play any remaining chips because, of course, you can't carry them over to the second half of the season.

How was your game week, Jules?

It wasn't bad. It wasn't bad. 49 points, which got me green arrows pretty much everywhere

in all the mini leagues and everything on the overall, which was good.

I brought in Calvel Lewin, who scored and got me eight points. That was good.

I also brought on Eki Tiki, who are were captain. I wasn't sure about Harland against, I thought, to be fair, I thought Forrest could do well against Citi defensively, and I think they did. They had a draw. It was probably a fair result for them. So I was not sure about Harland, and I had to get more points from after my bad week last week.

So I was happy to Captain Akitkii could have had more than just the assists that he got, to be fair, and more than the 10 points that he got. But I was still happy with the 10 points that he got with the captaincy. And I got, I think, lucky with like everybody else, if you had Van der Ven as your first sub and you had Timber and you're starting 11. Timber, the big surprise of not playing.

I was at the Arsenal game,

and I saw that I was the early. I got the team news really early and I was like, what? Are you kidding me? And I also meant Rice at right back. So I thought there's no way Rice is going to return a right back. And yet, he still did. So in the end, it was a decent game week. Sam, decent game week for you as well.

You took a minus four.

I did take a minus four.
