| 0:00.0 | So that's it. So that's it. The craziness is kind of done for a bit. It feels like the last few weeks in fantasy |
| 0:23.3 | have been pretty much a full-time job managing your team, making sure you're prepared for the |
| 0:27.4 | blanks, the doubles. Now we're on to Game Week 35, which just feels a little bit more calm. |
| 0:33.5 | If FPL can never be calm, Sam? Yeah, normal maybe. |
| 0:53.7 | 10 match game weeks. I don't know that we'll ever feel calm until game week 38 is in the bag, though, with us, lot. Because, you know, you love it so much that you can't forget about it, can you? It's just like, let's, we'll keep going until the end. But yeah, it's going to be a couple of, well, I was going to say a couple of normal weeks, but actually it's not. |
| 0:56.3 | It's going to be one regular week of 10 game weeks, |
| 1:12.5 | and then we'll go back into some double game at carnage again. Yeah, they're not quite as big a doubles, are they? But one of the teams in particular that's playing is obviously a team that we're very, very interested in. Jules, I don't know why I said calm. Do you know what? I'm the least calm of the three of us. I'm the worst. So it's definitely not going to be calm, is it? |
| 1:12.4 | Jules, I actually, I don't know who did the seating plan at the Emirates on Sunday, but we actually sat next to each other, didn't we? For the Arsenal Women's Champions League game, and Jules, midway through just went to me, how's your fantasy team doing? because he knew that he wasn't having the best game week. |
| 1:25.7 | Absolutely. |
| 1:26.8 | And you know what? |
| 1:27.4 | I thought long and |
| 1:28.4 | hard about asking you because I just didn't want to go there. But it felt right, obviously, before the |
| 1:33.1 | show too, because I had a disaster class. Literally everything that could have gone wrong for my team |
| 1:38.4 | went wrong this game week, which is a shame because I only got 32 points, which is really poor. And |
| 1:43.9 | when I asked you on |
| 1:45.1 | Sunday, I was really hoping, and I know it's bad and you're my friend. So I wanted you to do well. Obviously, I always do all of us to do well. It's all right. I know that. No, I promise you I did. But I was kind of hoping that you actually didn't do that well. So you would go, yeah, yeah. And you started by saying to me, |
| 1:58.2 | yeah, I know I've had a bad weekend. |
| 1:59.7 | I've like, get in, come on. |
| 2:01.2 | So as bad as me, and then you were much better than me. |
| 2:03.1 | And in the end, you're more than you're more. And you started by saying to me, yeah, I know, I've had a bad week and I was like, get in. |
| 2:01.1 | Come on. |
| 2:17.3 | So, as bad as me and then you were much better than me. And in the end, you're more than twice my points. Yeah, 32, I brought in roofs in goal who obviously had the shocker of a five-neal defeat at home. I brought in Chavez Simmons, who was my differential and I completely jinxed him. the poor kid, |
