Two game weeks down, it's time for a Defcon chat.

Mannyka Sam's desperate for a defender.

We discussed downgrading Sackerel and Palmer debate, a tricky captaincy,

and we have our first Jules Assists Rant of the season.

This is the first FPL podcast, I think, ever that Sam Bonfield has just admitted she didn't want to join. Hello, welcome

back to the FPL pod, Kelly Summers, Julianne and Sam with us. Gone, Sam. You can go first.

What happened, Sam? I had an actual nightmare, guys. I'd love to say I didn't notice, but I was

tracking it. I didn't notice. What happens? Oh, you, at Jules, now, now, come on. You didn't notice. I think you might have noticed.

Yeah, it was just an absolute disaster. So on Friday night, obviously, I only had Cole Palmer in the Chelsea game.

And I was already anxious about that anyway, because I was like, I don't have a Chelsea defender.

And West Ham having exactly looked like they're going to score loads of goals, so that's probably going to be problematic. And then I didn't have Jal Pedro and obviously, you know, the highest owned player in the game. So I was thinking, now, if he goes off, this is going to be a disaster. So thankfully I was on holiday and could just kind of try and ignore the fact that this was happening in the background. So when West Ham scored,

I was like, oh, okay, maybe it's not going to be quite so bad as I thought. Maybe it will be okay.

No, no, it wasn't. And that was a bit of a premonition for the rest of the weekend where everything

that could go wrong kind of did. The only thing that really weren't well for me is that I'd benched,

I'd benched Mickey Van der Vanenn. So thankfully, Cole Palmer was absent because Mickey then comes off the

bench for his six points. So I was grateful of that. But everything else was pretty much a disaster.

I had Debravka in goal. So I was grateful to him. But Ait Nore obviously went went off injured, so a one pointer for him. DeKalpa got a zero pointer even though he played in that one. Marillo, lost his clean sheet, got one. Julesby Hall did nothing and I'm clearly on the wrong Everton asset there. So that was a problem. Cudas, nothing against Mancity, even though Spurs won. And then Verts, nothing for him again.

That's a bit frustrating. Sala, last minute. But Sala in the last minute with that,

assist was almost, it was almost worse because I hadn't captained him. So the fact that he then

did something had a negative impact on my rank. So that was fun. And then I'd captain Dolly Watkins, and I had Mateto instead of Jal Pedro. So pretty much as bad as it could get killed. How many points? Because you haven't said the most important yet. 32. 32 beautiful points. That's just for Saturday's game. How many points did you get on Sunday and Monday? Jules Jal Pedro got pretty much half the points, half the points of my whole team. So I can refresh. Refresh the app. Maybe there's some points that they've been lost somewhere. Just refresh it. Do you know what? I cannot wait. Or read download it. I cannot wait for Saturday at 11.30 when the game goes past its reboot mode and I can just look at game week three and not have to look at game week two anymore.

I'm going to call you Magic Johnson now because Maggie Johnson was right number 32 when you're playing NBA. So now you're going to be Magic Johnson. Go on Magic. You know what? There's so many people had difficult weeks, Sam. It's not just you. I mean, you just got really unlucky that you had every single player that had a disaster. The only thing is your goalkeeper

outscored my goalkeeper
