One week to go until the season is here.

We do an early positional stock check, debate our goalkeeper strategies, discuss Chelsea's

lack of pre-season, and are we all really starting without Erling Harland?

Hello and welcome back to the third FPL podcast of the season.

That is commitment, guys.

The season hasn't even started yet, and you've already got three podcasts.

Well, you all have three podcasts by the end of the next 40 minutes or so.

Kelly Summers back with you alongside Sam Bonfield and Julian Loron.

There is just over a week to go now until the season gets here. Sam, you look petrified. You just like did the most nervous giggle I've ever seen. I thought it was going to be excitement, but it was like, petrified staring down your camera. I have no idea what I'm doing. I've changed my mind so many times this week. I can't even tell you how

many photos there are. In fact, I might send you a screenshot later because it's actually comedy,

how many teams I've made in the last 24 hours. I don't think I've ever gone into a season

I suddenly realized that. That means I actually can't make a transfer until going into game week

three.

And you know what it's like in the early part of the season when trans people are rising in price,

they're falling in price, like it's left, right and center all over the place.

And it suddenly occurred to me that I won't be able to catch any price rises or avoid any price falls. And that terrified me more than holding a bench boost chip, which is why I think I've changed my mind

on my strategy. Oh, a strategy change. Straight on.

Jules, if you're watching this on YouTube, the first thing I said to Jules when he arrived on the call
