| 0:00.0 | A Pax Pod with a review of Game Week 25 and a look ahead to Double Game Week 26. |
| 0:05.9 | We review all of the weekend's games, discuss why we're waiting on Palmer, |
| 0:09.4 | and I'm sure you can guess which one of us has Double Game Week fever. |
| 0:17.2 | It's here. It's the first double game week of the season, which means the FPL pod team are back with you to look back on Game Week 25 and look ahead to game week 26. Kelly here, of course, alongside Jules and Sam. And it is Arsenal Wolves that are going to play twice. Tuesday night deadline, 6pm. This is where the fun really begins, Sam, isn't it? |
| 0:37.0 | Yay, it's the best part of the season. The doubles and the blanks causing some carnage. I am here for it. It's the bit of the season where you can really make up rank against those around you if they're not concentrating on the deadlines and if they're not fully focused on players that blank and players that double. So yeah, it's going to be fun. I think we're all |
| 0:54.2 | pretty set, aren't me? So we're all trebled up on Arsenal. I think we spoke in the last |
| 0:58.0 | pod. By the way, there was some relevant stuff in the last pod. If you haven't got around to listening to that, we did preview a little bit. Probably not going to go there with Wolves. So we're pretty set, aren't we, Jules, I think? |
| 1:09.0 | Yeah, I think so. I think three awesome |
| 1:10.7 | players make a lot of sense and then |
| 1:12.6 | again you pick |
| 1:13.7 | whoever pretty set, aren't we, Jules, I think? Yeah, I think so. I think three awesome players make a lot of sense. |
| 1:12.3 | And then again, you pick whoever you want if you only have two, for example. |
| 1:17.0 | And, you know, if you have Rice and Gabrielle, Gopher, third one, Timber would be safe, |
| 1:22.5 | Raya will be safe. |
| 1:24.1 | For example, we don't know yet when Bukaiusaka and Martin O'Degarde will come back, but they surely would not start for both games, and like Rice, Gabriello or Timber. So you could choose. Trosa seems to be pretty likely to start both games as well. But at number nine, we're not sure if it would be Giocheres or Gabrijeus or even Kai Havers. Same with Eze, probably even same for me. |
| 1:46.2 | I left back. |
| 1:46.6 | I've got Calafuri. |
| 1:47.5 | I was very happy. I started the weekend. I don't know if you will start both games. So there's a bit of that. But if you want to be sure, I think Gabrielle, Timber and Rice, you're pretty safe. Okay. We'll talk a little bit more about the double as the pod goes on, I'm sure. |
| 2:00.4 | As I said then, I am trebled up on Arsenal. |
| 2:03.1 | I wasn't. |
| 2:03.5 | I spoke about it on the last podcast. Okay, we'll talk a little bit more about the double as the pod goes on, I'm sure. As I said then, I am trebled up on Arsenal. |
| 2:03.1 | I wasn't. I spoke about it on the last podcast, and I'm glad I did. I brought in timber, so I have the three that Jules just mentioned then. So we're very similar. Myself and Sam have exactly the same. Jules a little bit different. but let's just reflect on everything else we did in the last game week and how it went. |
