One final preview pod, one final time, we try to help you through.

0:04.4

We discuss the potential rotation at City and Arsenal.

0:06.6

We pick the best players in each position and we're big in up Burnley with Sam even considering going there with the armband.

0:17.2

So it all comes down to this. Game Week 38 is actually podcast 49 of the season of just FPL pods.

0:24.8

I know you've had off the benches coming on this feed as well.

0:27.6

But we have been there from the very beginning from I think probably even before we knew much about the season.

0:34.0

We previewed the season.

0:34.9

We've been with you throughout the season.

0:36.3

And now we're here to hold your hand one final time through the game week. Don't where I'll be back on Monday

0:40.5

as well. But this is basically what it comes down to. Morning, Sam. Morning, Jules. Jules probably

0:46.3

wants this season to continue. Myself and Sam probably want this season to be over. Fair Sam?

0:52.9

Can't end soon enough. What even was Game Week 37? Honestly, everything that could have gone

0:59.2

wrong went wrong. So yeah, this season can't, I can't wait for the new one to start. Let's put it

1:03.2

that way. Let's just start with a new season already. I'm sorry, I'm not mentally ready to prepare

1:07.1

for another 38 game week season just yet. I need a break too. I think we all need a break. We've also got a walk-up to navigate in the middle, but let's definitely not talk about that because I think myself and Jules will literally fall off our chairs. It was a massive game week in terms of big storylines, lots happening. We've seen Arsenal win the Premier League. Congratulations to all the Arsenal fans listening. Congratulations to you, Jules. You must be happy. Yeah, it was a very good Tuesday night. I won't, I won't like when you've been waiting for so long, producer Jesse as well, the same and all the the Arsenal family around the way. It's a very special feeling because you've gone through tough times. It's true it was. And then since Arteta took over, the last six years have been better, the progression, how it transformed the club, everything, but it's still something missing to get it over the line and they finally did it. So yeah, it was very special. Congratulations also, of course, to Aston Villa, their fans. I'm sure it's 8 o'clock on Thursday morning. Their fans still haven't gone to bed, I'm sure. One the European League on Wednesday night, which has ramifications in terms of Champions

2:03.4

League qualification. Congratulations to Bournemouth. Draw with Manchester City, of course. Helps Arsenal also means they're in Europe. Sorry if I've missed your team, but also Manchester City did win the FA Cup at the weekend, too, of course. So lots of celebrations.

2:16.0

We're at that point of the season,

2:17.2

but we're not celebrating just yet.

2:18.7

And as myself and Sam said,

2:19.9

we're celebrating absolutely nothing about Game Week 37 because it was a disaster. Sam got 42. Sorry, I didn't mean to laugh, but I was just laughing at how bad both of us were. I got 57. You can laugh. How did I not notice that Jules actually got less than me? Technically, I'm the top scorer. All of us have the bad game week. It goes to a marginally better game week. You found a high. I don't know how I haven't noticed that before. I just always assumed that Jules beats me at the moment. Sam, just for pure, get it out the way. Talk us, I mean, talk us through what went right. Would it be quicker? Yeah, nothing. Should we, that's it? No, it all went wrong. Starting on Friday night, because obviously I sold Morgan Rogers, who then decided to play football. So that was really lovely. I really enjoyed that. Thank you, Morgan. Bought in Trossard for him, who did nothing then on Monday night. He could have done. He had the

3:08.7

post. He was not far from doing something. No, but I'm saying. I'm just saying. I know. Then I had
