Game week 28 has fixture swings are plenty, so we discuss whether to hold Chelsea and Arsenal, who we're looking at from Liverpool.

And well done if you stay with me for our blanks and doubles explainer.

Your shock, we fully lost Jules.

I'm going to start this podcast with a reminder.

It's a Friday deadline this week.

Welcome back to the FPL pod. There's Friday night of football. So your deadline is Friday, 6.30pm, 90 minutes ahead of Wolves versus Aston Villa. Welcome back. Plenty of advice to come, hopefully. Sam and Jules with me as always. And I'm going to be honest, just before we started recording, I said to Sam, Oh, it was another tough game week, wasn't it?

And I feel like to be honest, just before we started recording, I said to Sam, oh, it was another tough game week, wasn't it?

And I feel like every time we log on to this call just before we start the pod, we're saying that.

But it just feels like every week, you look at your team, you think, yes, this is the week.

And it just never is, Sam.

And I'm coming to you first because you're about the only person in the world I beat.

But you're not in the same. You got 42 points. I got 43. Low bars. Yeah, it was a really difficult week, wasn't it? And when you look at, like, genuinely, I looked at my team going into this week and was like, this should go really well. And that's always the kind of kiss of death, isn't it when you think that that way? Like, you think, oh, it's going to, it looks good.

My team on paper seems nice.

Thank goodness, I made the Virgil Van Dyke transfer because had it not been for that transfer?

I was so close to doing that.

I'm so annoyed.

I didn't.

Honestly, can you imagine if I hadn't?

Like, if I hadn't have made that transfer, it would have been a disaster.

I tried to play it a little bit different with the captaincy as well this week.

Like it felt like there was an opportunity to just maybe go somewhere different,

especially with the, you know, slight injury doubts over Harlan.
