This holiday, all plans, even unlimited, are just $15 a month. A holiday deal this good obviously deserves an enormously expensive holiday song, like All I Want.

Right, okay, we can't afford that. You know, forget the music budget, we're gonna stick with whatever's in the public domain. Give it a try at midmobile.com/switch.

SPEAKER_2 (0:18)

Upfront payment of $45 for three months, $90 for six months, or $180 for 12 month plan required.

SPEAKER_3 (0:23)

$15 per month equivalent, taxes and fees extra.

SPEAKER_2 (0:25)

New customer offer for initial plan term only. Greater than 50 gigabytes may slow, network is busy, see terms.

Tom (1:42)

Good afternoon, everybody. Welcome back to a International Break FPL Q&A with myself and Sam. As International Break is too casual for us, so I'm off the bench this week, joined by Sam as usual, who's battling a bit of a cough, but I think everyone is at this time of year.

So Sam, how are you enjoying the break?

Sam (2:07)

Yeah, it's come at a bad time again, Tom. I feel like I just start to feel like I'm in the swing of it. I know roughly what I'm doing. I have plans, things are going well, and then bang, there comes another International Break again. And I suppose I should make the most of it, because over the next few weeks, it's only going to get hectic. So I should enjoy the peace of this week while I can. But I don't know.

I don't really like weekends without Premier League Football. They're not as fun.

Tom (2:39)

You got the Nations League, if that's what you're into.

Sam (2:42)

I mean, yeah, I suppose so.

SPEAKER_7 (2:43)

A bit of Hurricane, a bit of Hurricane.

Tom (2:46)

I'm sorry, record cap.

Sam (2:48)

That would always be, that's always a bonus, a bit of Hurricane. It was also my daughter's birthday yesterday. So this weekend's full of birthday parties. So I do actually need to get better and shake off this annoying cough that I've got before I go launching into the friends party and then the family party at the weekend. I'll be on the lem sip all weekend, I think.

Tom (3:09)

Yeah, fair enough. Yeah, so a more chilled out Q&A this week with no impending deadline. But yeah, we'll get your questions into the chat. No sponsor this week either, so it's all FPL.

We'll have a new sponsor next week, one that we've seen before, one that you've seen before that Sam very much enjoys, but nothing for this week. We'll start with a compliment, loving the hair by the way. I assume that's directed at me. Is that yours or mine? No, it's definitely directed at you. New style, bringing back the fringe.

Sam (3:44)

Yeah, I'm not had a fringe since I was six, I think. So, this is, we're going back to...

Tom (3:51)

So, what's that, 30 years ago?

Sam (3:54)

Slightly more than that. But yes, I'll take that as a compliment as well. Thank you, Tom.

Thank you for the hair, love. I'm quite enjoying it. Lee hates it.

What can you do?

Tom (4:05)

Yeah, well, he's got to wait for it to grow back then.

Sam (4:10)

Unless I cut it again to just annoy him.

Tom (4:13)

Yeah. Right, then, let's do an FPL question.

Are Spurs and Chelsea both crap again?

Sam (4:21)

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Tom (4:22)

That was the first question. I got to do them in order.
