Kelly Somers

Kelly is a presenter and reporter who is a regular face across the Premier League and BBC’s output. For the BBC, she presents a range of shows, including live Women's Super League, the Women’s Football Show and Final Score. She is also their main reporter - having reported at their first ever Premier League live game in 2020, going on to become their England reporter at the last three major tournaments, also assuming the role for Channel 4.

She also presents for Premier League rights holders Optus Sport, having travelled to Australia to front the Women’s World Cup in 2023, and also leads coverage for BBC Radio 5 Live and Amazon Prime.

Kelly is, by her own admission, a football and FPL obsessive - and says the only deadline she has ever missed is following the early birth of her daughter last season! She’s just about forgiven her now - especially as, despite the lack of sleep, she still made the top 100k last season. Her highest finish is inside the top 40k and this season she hopes to beat that, or if not - just beat Juls!

Julien Laurens

Julien is a French football journalist based in London. He reports on the Premier League for RMC Sport, TNT Sports, BBC Radio 5 Live and ESPN.

He is a keen FPL manager who likes to get ahead of the curve by spotting high-performing differentials. Arsenal fan Juls always needs his boy William Saliba and all Paris born and bred players!

Juls watches every minute of football possible to make the most informed Fantasy decisions and help the FPL Pod listeners with their weekly dilemmas. The 2023/24 season saw Juls register his highest ever FPL finish, inside the top 5k!

Sam Bonfield

Sam is an experienced FPL pundit and one half of the popular YouTube channel the https://www.youtube.com/c/fplfamily, with husband Lee.
