Another midweek round means FPL pod is back again.

The Arsenal conundrum rumbles on as we debate the Gunners' top trio.

We discussed a surprising new cheap forward option, and Sam admits she's considering a chip very soon.

It's the first day back to work for many people, so it is Monday, even though this is probably confusing you once again because, yes, it's not off the bench, it's FPL pod back with you. Kelly Summers, Julianne and Sam Bonfield. That is because, of course, we've got midweek football again. Honestly, there's been so much football. It's been great, hasn't it? Morning, Sam. Morning, Jules. let's start by reviewing the game week that we just had, Game Week 20.

Jules, how did it go for you? Also, before we go any further, your bench. Again, it's the story of my season, to be fair. No, but this is surely the worst ever. Yeah, it is the worst. I left Eklund Rice on the bench because I wasn't sure if he would start or how long he would play because of the Liverpool fixture coming up on Thursday and then

watching the game obviously on television and seeing him scoring two goals and be amazing, really

be outstanding like he's often been this season. It wasn't being painful. Even my kids were giving me stick for living on the bench. And I was like, come on, you know, trying to explain to an 8-year-old, a 12-year-old, and then a 16-year-old why. And there was really no, there was like, no, don't try to justify anything. It was my mistake. I really, I was really not sure if he would start.

I thought he might come on for the last half hour or so.

But yeah, it was painful to see right on the band.

It's the story of my season, really not to pick my starting lineup.

Good, the squad is good, but I leave too many points on the bench.

Other than that, 46 points, so just above average, which is not too bad, to be fair.

Good for Van der Vend.

I brought in Tarkovsky, which was a disaster.

Obviously, Nicole O'Reilly lost the clean sheet in the last minute or so against Chelsea.

Ryan Timber, you know, that gift from Gabriella Bormor killed me to be fair. But Bruno Kimmerich again was my highest return, so that was good. Sam, for you, 43 points. Yeah, it was one of those weeks, wasn't it? Like Dior said, I had a little quiet rage to myself. Actually, it wasn't that quite. I had a very loud rage to myself when Chelsea scored at the death and took out the Niko Riley clean sheet, because it wasn't just that was it. It was the fact that it took out the phoding one pointer as well. And those things made a difference. It was the same when Spurs conceded to Sunderland and Mickey van der Vennel lost a bonus point, lost his clean sheet and what I thought was going to be a Monster Hall.

Especially as I was really counting DefCon with him, he finished on nine.

And I was like, come on, Mickey. One more tackle. Just one more. One more something. And we'll get 10. And that's an extra two points. The last minute, timber Defcon additions were nice, though, especially as I don't have Gabrielle. So that was that was nice to get that added on Sunday after the game on Saturday.

Yeah, another 10 points are out of avert, so I'm happy with him. It did feel like a

missed opportunity, though, this game week for sure. My transfer in the end, I did kudos to Rogers,

and I think I'm happy with that now, especially with kudos going off injured in that game

against Sunderland. It feels like, you know, that was a decent decision to have made. So, yeah, I think I'm happy with that now, especially with Cudas going off injured in that game against
