Harry (1:17)

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to another episode of the FPL Watchlist. I hope you're doing well. It is probably one of the most chaotic weeks of FPL we've had in quite a long time. So there is a lot to discuss. And unfortunately, there are three red arrows this week. So if you are here to wallow in a bit of FPL pain and talk about how horrible a game week 8 it was, you are in the right place. Tom, how are we doing?

Tom (1:45)

I'm very well, thank you. Yeah, this could be a bit of a therapy session.

After probably the worst game week of the season. Although Stephen did a bit better than we did. But yeah, apologies that we're late as well. You can probably just tune in at 10 past 12 most weeks anyway. I didn't want to come and talk about Chelsea.

Harry (2:04)

So at some point, we might have to hold our hands up that we were pretty bullish on Chelsea last week. And having sat there watching that game, I mean, no Jal Pedro we'll talk about, but definitely had a big impact on on how we looked. Stephen, how are you? I mean, Chelsea, Man United, FPL, we're all really happy this week, right?

Stephen Gallagher (2:24)

Yeah, we're just we're just a cheerful bunch this week. And yeah, like you said, Harry, a lot to figure out in FPL. I mean, just seems like there's so much in the air. So I guess this is the exciting time in the in the FPL season where we really have to rack our brains and try to make the right decision.

Harry (2:42)

Yeah, absolutely. So many entries. We're going to talk.

Tom (2:45)

Yeah, exactly.

Harry (2:49)

It absolutely is cool. We're going to talk openly about Jalpega replacements. We're going to talk about is it time to buy Gabriel? Lots to talk about. But Tom, do you want to just throw our sponsor in and then we'll crack on?

Tom (3:01)

Yeah, we'll be back in a sec with our gaming results.

This episode of the Fantasy Football Scout podcast is brought to you by British Army Recruitment. You may know how exciting and challenging an Army career could be, but you may also be wondering what's in it for you. When it comes to sport, they take football super seriously in the Army. There are thousands of registered players across all levels, from local league matches right up to international competitions. If you have aspirations to become a coach or a referee, they'll even fund your qualifications and courses. Sport is built into your day-to-day Army life. You don't have to squeeze football into your evenings because most bases reserve Wednesday afternoons just for sport. You can play rugby, football, or join hundreds of other sports teams, all as part of your job. Whether you're in it for the camaraderie or aiming for the elite, the pathway exists.

Beyond the game itself, it's that sense of teamwork that connects football and Army life. Everyone's got each other's back, and you're working towards that shared goal. You're surrounded by people who share your values and end up forming friendships that last for life. Outside sport, there's so much more to do, like whitewater kayaking in Norway or skiing in Europe. Plus, while you're doing all that, you're being paid to train in new skills, gaining civilian qualifications right up to degree level. The Army is the UK's biggest apprenticeship provider and number one apprenticeship employer, as listed by the Sunday Times. If that sounds like your kind of team, search Army jobs to find out more.

Right. Let's get into the show. Stephen, you can kick us off with your scores. You won this week, so take it away. Well, you won in a small letter.
